Pilgrim Baptist Church Notes:
On last Sunday morning, Rev. S. E.
Ware, pastor, delivered the third in
series on "The Seven Last
Words" to a large congregation.
His subject was "Lust." Rev. Ware
said that the only real escape from
the flesh is to find something we
love more. He gave a colorful pic
ture of Christ and his mother. He
said we should follow Christ's
example of living in such a manner
that we can say while dying "moth-
er behold thy son."
The guest soloist was Mrs. F.
Hibbs of st. James A. M. E. church,
accompanied by Mrs. Ware. Flow
ers on the altar were in honor of
Mrs. Elijah Murray, donated by
Mr.. and Mrs. L. L. Murray. Miss
E. Winch joined the church.
On Sunday evening the pastor
preached on "What Lack I YETI"
With the approach of spring wealth
er, large audiences fill the audi
forum for evening services.
The text for Sunday, April 4,
will be "My God, My God, Why
Hast Thou Forsaken Me-" Mrs.
Susie Gaylord will be the soloist.
On Friday evening, the Mission
airy Society is sponsoring a scrap
social. All are invited to be pres
ent.
Flowers on Easter Sunday morn
ing will be donated by persons
whose babies were blessed within
the year. Flowers, in memoriam,
will also be greatly appreciated.
Visitors and friends are always
welcome to enjoy our services with
US. Our three choirs will sing each
Sunday during Lent.
CamphOr Memorial Methodist
Church Notes: Everyone seemed
to have enjoyed the morning wor-
ship service last Sunday. The choir
was under the direction of Mr.. John
Hickman and accompanied by Prof.
R. Nelson Barber at the organ.
Lydia and Sandra Nelson, four
year old daughters of Rev. and Mrs.
Nelson, sang a duet, "Jesus Loves
Me-" Rev. Clarence T. R. Nelson,
pastor, preached on the subject,
"The Christians Hope" Several
responded to the altar call after the
sermon.
Robert Mckinney, a senior stu
dent of the St. Paul Bible Institute,
delivered a thought-provoking and
spirit filled sermon at the evening
worship service. Three young ladies
from the school sang several selec-
tons.
"The Christians Privilege" will
be the subject of the sermon by
Rev. Nelson at the II a. m. service
next Sunday. The Communion of
the Lords Supper will be held fol-
lowing the sermon. The evening

US not only as a descriptive noun
but as a term Of reproach. It is
as if we would rather that all of
US lived in novels, unambitious,
mush-mouthed and loud and wrong
than that any of US should develop
that courtesy and gentility and
those habits and customs of dress
and speech and living which are
the mark of cultivated men and
women.
I don't know where this attitude
comes from. Whether it is some
thing new or is the outgrowth of
the historic enmity between the
house Negro and the field hand.
But no matter where it comes from,
it's time for it to go.

Pro and Con on Negro
Press
Pro

The sin of omission, on the part
Of the big dailies, toward 100000
Negro Americans has created the
need for Negro press. This serv-
ice is indispensable in the Negroes
struggle for a fuller participation
in democratic rights. The fact that
our press has been denied an ade-
quate share in the nations adver-
Using millions has been both a
commercial drawback and an edi-
torial advantage. The guardians of
Americas ideals are in constant
fear Of "kept press" that works
for wealth and power. The Negro
press, because it does not share in
big advertising and must depend
upon circulation primarily, and
thereby is dependent upon the peo-
pie, has been slow in developing as
far as news and formal is con-
cerned but has fortunately stayed
close to the people as a guide in
its editorial content. Those who
have criticized the Negro papers
have done so on the basis of it's
sensational front pages. They have
not dared, nor can they deny that
it has crusaded for the peoples
rights and fought courageously
against its oppressors. Sensational
ism is not peculiar to the Negro
press. It has been a selling feature
Of most of Americas big dailies.
With greater success financially,
our press will become more judici-
GUS.

RACE

Would as soon be black white?
You would not ask each hour made Of night;
The substance of the colors born
Is just as real in twilight in morn.
Race is an alibi by which bold circumstance
Must play her tunes to make dance
In irony for all, let hush my voice,
Who bid me choose wherein I have no choice
The error is too few can truly understand
My protests couch wish to countermand
The dream of Nature or her great intent,
challenge only what you say she meant
There are some things in being black
would not trade for all you say lack;
You rest upon the easy opiate of pallor,
While each day must show some little valor.
Life bears freight of music and of light
can't afford to lose to times swift flight
Or to iliberal cares, moments briefly Last
And days glide to hushed Swallowed past
Let not your ear grow alien to my song,
Conceive its structure blue, its notes long,
But what care Tiff song and make
You seep-and can dream while still awakeI

Con

I question the ACCESSIBILITY of sole
reliance upon the Negro press for
race leadership. T do not hesitate
because it is Negro nor because it
can never give proper leadership,
nor even because it is not sincere
in its endeavor, but I hesitate be-
cause the Negro press labors I'M
der the same limitations that the
white press does. That is, it is not
entirely independent of the wishes
of big business. It is more becom-
ing to rely upon advertising. The
fact that it did not enjoy big adj
vertising in the past was not be-
cause it did not seek it, and now
that it is gaining recognition as
an advertising medium it will suf-
fer from the lack of independence
as a crusading force it enjoyed in
infancy. Before the press can lead
it must exercise the complete right
of constructive group criticism
constructive but not destructive.
We must clean up our own back
yard at the same time we fight lin
itations imposed upon US from with
out. We should attempt to clear
up prejudices existing within the
group while we seek to remove
those inflicted upon the group.
While the press is very vital as a
factor for race leadership, I do
not feel at this stage of develop
ment that it has earned its right
to take the paramount leadership.
We must still rely to a great de-
gree upon our "old faithfuls": the
church, individual leaders, welfare
and pressure groups.

terms to battles in the courts for
our civil rights guaranteed by the
constitution.
AS a rule we know our enemies
although sometimes we fail to rec
ognize them. We have one enemy,
however, more powerful than all
the rest, and more sinister and
dangerous. He may be found in
every community where colored
people live. He is present at every
meeting called to improve our So
cial and economic conditions. He is
a member of every lodge and Of
every church. He does more harm
to us than the most vicious and
cruel "cracker" in Mississippi or
Georgia. For he never sleeps and
he never rests, and he is in and
out of everything we plan, every
thing we do.
He never fights in the open
but always in the dark. He is like
the robber in the night, with
stealthy footsteps who waylays his
victim and soundlessly bludgeons
him to death. Often he appears in
the guise of a friend with smiling
face and outstretched hand. But be-
hind his grinning countenance is a
malevolent heart and an evil mind.
His weapons are innuendo and sus-
picion-deceit and lies.
He gives the impression of want
ing to help build up the community
but in reality he wants to tear it
down. His presence is sometimes
undetected. And he is able to worm
his way into councils and commit
tees and spread disruption and con-
fusion.
Always he selects as his chief
victim a person successful in the
community, a doctor or lawyer, a
minister, a newspaper publisher or
editor, social worker, real es-
tate operator, or some other able
business man. Or he may choose
family, or even an organization.
Then by Shiny differences, by unsup-
ported allegations, and downright
falsehoods, he begins his devilish
work of destruction.
We really won't get very far I'M
less we seek out this enemy and
crush him. His first name may be
one of a number Of names. Frank
or Tom or Joe or Herbert or
George, but his last name is always
and everywhere the same in Hous-
ton or Detroit, in Chicago or Jack
sonville, in Los Angeles or Phila-
delphia, in Washington or New
York. He is a contemplate, cow
ardly assassin of everything fine
and good and uplifting and he is
known among all nations and races.
But among US he seems to have
greater power and wider influence
than in any other group.
Did you ask what his last name
was? I thought that you knew. It
is Envy.
To keep up with the Joneses is
one thing but to sneer at the
Joneses for wanting to better them
selves is a totally different thing.
We have coined a word ickty"
to describe those Of US who want
to live in better houses and cleaner
and quieter neighborhoods, who
want our children to secure the best
education possible, and to speak
clear and distinct and reasonably
correct English, and to associate
with other children who have the
same ambitions.
The word "dickty" is used by
