No. 4: Anybody Could Learn From Carver


M MANY occasions have heard people ask Or.
Carver. Are you training someone to carry on
your work after YOU" In most cases the questioncr
was offering yelled criticism rather than seeking
information. And Dr. Carver knew in every IN
stance what prompted the query. ! never heard
him make direct anewer to that question. But
clearly recall trip he was thus challenged by
a rather wel-knoHn mid-wesern physician.
In lieu OF a direct reply he simply brought down
10 date and put in modern form the story OF Elinh
and Elisha. As he put II host OF youngsters knew
that old Elijah wac to be called up 70 heaven,
and that the mantle TO fall upon ore Of them.
In the happy-go-lucky. carefree way Of many young
folks, the boys decided they would hang around or
keep close to the old man. that they would be
near enough 10 make dash for the mantle when
Elijah threw it from the chariot
On the warm sunny day when the chariot came the
crowd was enjoying the shade Of a big tree But
among them was one youngster who had bit more
interest He did not let the cooling shade tempt
him. but rather he persisted in the hot sun. And
as he trudged on under a sweltering sun, not far
behind Elijah, shadow momenarily hid the sun
He looked up and beheld the chariot descending
So did the other boys But Elisha had kept so much
closer that when tho mantle fell he was right there
10 receive II.
BY thie illustration DR.. Carver simply sought to
convey the information that where young people
persisted they usually rewarded. And never

II not before the tide OF religion will rise and this
tide must bear upon its crest our common efforts
TO brotherize mankind.
What | said in my address before the Baptist
World alliance Atlanta in 1929 holds true. This
World Must Be Brotherized or II Will Be Bru-
talized. When the better element OF whites and
Negroes OF the south unite in the great brother
izaton movement supplemented by the pulpit, the
press and the classroom we are going TO get some

ages our holy efforts. or who tries to sabotage
them is flying into the face OF Right and Time and
God. The thing we are trying to do will be done
right here in the SOUTH
II We OF this generation are not big enough or
wise enough or brave enough there is coming a
generation who will look back upon us with a kind
OF contemptuous pity. The white South has its SUI
premist challenge before It, SO long as the Negro
cannot be permanently subjugated and so long as
his continued subjugation places the south morally

what seems like its stumbling block may easily be-

moral courage that Is willing to come 10 grips with
a grim issue. The danger OF longer temporzine
with the situation Is greater than that Of coming
to grips with It.
Pontius Pilaism Is the greatest obstable that the
better white and Negro south must hurdle Both
races must bear in mind that writing Declaration
OF Interdependence may be quite az dangerous as
writing Declaration OF Independence. "He saved
