Two |Furriners
By REV. J. CLARENCE WRIGHT

SOME WEEKS AGO, I was one
of the scores who sat in beautiful
Sisters Chapel on the campus of
Spelman College and participated
in the last sad, impressive rites
for one who was one of the bless
ed of our Father, because not
counting her life as dear unto her
self she had spent and been spent
in handling the cup of cold water
in His name.
Frail in body but great in heart
and noble in soul, she somehow was
never wanting in energy and Spiri-
tual stamina which were undoubt-
edly required to project and admin
lister her ambitious program of SER
vice to the needy. AS nationality
goes she was an alien. AS they
have been defined by the erudite
chief executive of the state in which
she invested her money, her talents
and her life she was "furriner."
HELD TO BELIEFS
She believed that some things
are eternally right, like racial
equality" She believed that God
meant what he said when he taught
that out of one blood had all men
been created to dwell upon the
face of the earth. She knew that
beneath the superficial externals
that mark the difference in men,
were the great essentials in which
they are all alike and which mark
them as the recognized children of
a common father.
An English woman, she made
herself a benediction to America.
A white woman, she was the only

live for those who were weak, neg
lected and outcaSt. Her friends
were those for whom and among
whom she lived regardless of race,
color or previous condition. Her
almost unbelievably over loaded
program included service upon the
boards of colored as well as white
social agencies.
She fraternized with her Negro
co-Workers without contamination.
and championed their cause with
out imperiling the dignity or jeo-
pardizing the usefulness of her po-
sition and leadership. BY the side
OF her bier when she closed her
desk and rendered her last report,
stood black and white alike, broth
ers in a common grief for one
whose liberal views and unselfish
life made her a saint in the COM
munity of brotherly love, but
"furriner" in the commonwealth of
Eugene Talmadge.
WE ALL LOSE
AS they pass we Negroes must not
be unmindful of what we as a race.
the South as a section and America
as nation are losing. Their liberal
views and their courageous leader
ship are at once the hope and safe
guard of minorities even in a free
democracy. They belong to a race
of spiritual titans that is rapidly
passing and likely never to be re-
placed.
We can insure their immortality
by taking up ourselves the mantle
that falls from their shoulders and
developing within our own ranks
leaders capable of wearing it for
the redemption of man and the
Glory of God. Let us thank Him
on bended knees for these "F'urri-
ners" and pray that from some
source their places may be lifted
and their number multiplied.

mother that hundreds of little
homeless black children knew. In a
commonwealth where principles"
and traditions" make a byword and
mockery of religion, she dared to be
a Christian in her heart!
If she needs a monument, it will
be found out not only in the beau
tiful tudor manse that rose from
her sweat and prayers and faith
to house her little black children,
but in their deathless love and
their salvaged lives and in the
numerous homes over which they
preside, the classrooms in which
they teach, the factories, stores
and counting rooms in which they
labor for their daily bread and
through which until the perfect
day the soul of Amy Chadwick, a
"furriner'', by the grace of God, will
go triumphantly marching on.
ANOTHER "FURRINER" PASSES
And then as if to punish a COM
munity for it's ignorance and in
gratitude, just two weeks ago, God
called another "furriner" to her
eternal rest and reward. For Mary
Dickinson, too, was not to the
Georgia manner born. English in
ancestry and middle west in her
birth and rearing she was a
liberal that neither damnable nor
iniquitous custom could conquer.
Humanity, not color or casts was
her concern and her passion.
She loved people because they
were the children of a common
father, and not because they were
white, or Southern or American.
Fearlessly, she championed, and
tirelessly she worked for the
cause of health and a chance to

Won Luckner Might Again
BE Raiding British Shipping
1 Believe German Sea Reidsr ceptoined s
!. BY Sea Devil Of World War Foms

Navy, was reported In America
shortly before the war broke out,
it was recalled.
(Travelers reaching Hong
kong identified the raider re-
sponsible for most of the re-
cent sinkings in the South Seas
as the 7,1O0-ton Glengarry, q
ship reported seized by the Ger
mans at Copenhagen.
"a Captain Won Lucknow"
was said by the travellers to be
in command of the Glengarry.
The German Who's Who does not
list such a name and it was be-
lieved to be garbled version of
Won Luckner.)
The most recent exploit cred
tied to the Pacific raider was the
sinking of the big British liner,
Rangitane, on Nov. 20. The
ships crew and passengers were
landed on the little island of
Emirau near N e w Guiana,
whence they later were rescued.
Twenty-four years ago pic
turesque German old windjam-
mer, the Seeadler, made its ap-
pearance in the South Pacific
and began raiding Allied ship
ping. Count Felix Won Luck
ner commanded her and in that
1867 period was credited
with sinking more than Is ships,
earning the title of the "Sea
Eagle" or "Sea Devil"
He provisioned largely from
the ships he sank, imprisoning
their crews until he could land
them on South Pacific islands.
The sinking of the four-masted
schooner Manila, an American
vessel, finally led indirectly, to
his interment in New Zealand
until the war ended.
The Seeadler approached the
Manila in June 1917, and sank
her with time bombs after stip-
ping her of valuables and taking
her crew aboard. Months later,
Won Luckner anchored off the
reef of Montpelier island to land
the Americans and other prison
ers he had aboard. In the at
tempt, q tidal wave drove the
Seeadler on q reef.
Won Luckner and his men
then took a small French YES
sci and got as far as the FIJI
Islands, where they were cap.
tured.
After the war he lectured
widely in the United States.
Only last June he was accused
by the British of conducting spy
activities in Australia while on
a "Good Will" visit there in
1888.
