Continued from August IL issue.)
The single city of New York
shows, in the 1910 Census, nearly
500, 900 Negroes, equal to the total
colored population of such typically
Southern states as Arkansas and
Tennessee. Chicago's 100000 Ne
groes exceed the colored pOpula-
ton of the whole states of Ken
lucky or Missouri. The last census
lists eleven cities throughout the
country with over 100000 Negroes.
Los Angeles reported $4,000 in
1910 and is estimated to have
doubled that number during the
last three years of war industry.
San Francisco, which never had
more than a small colored colony
of two or three thousand, suddenly
finds twenty-five to thirty thousand
Negroes teeming about its war
plants.
A second reason for a shift in
attitude is that Negroes in the
North have the vote and are using
it. They hold the balance of power
in many states and in just those
states-New York, Pennsylvania,
and the Middle WeSt-which in
turn hold the balance in national
elections. Hard-headed politicians
know what this means-as is amply
proved by the frantic wooing of
Negro favor by both parties. As
Negroes learn to use their political
power more Skillfully, there is al
most nothing that they cannot de-
mand and get, both from the party

marvel is not that thousands of
Negroes are turning back to Re-
publicanism; the marvel is that so
many are still clinging to FDR
and the truly progressive ideals
which the Democratic Party, de-
spite its fouled anchor to south
ward, still stands for.
What's happened in the last four
years has not been a flood to the
Republican ranks; it has been an
ebb, slow but calculable, from the
Democratic ranks.
With the help of the Southern
Tories, why haven't the Republi
cans been able to do better?
Part of the answer lies with the
Republicans themselves.
Other than Wendell Willkie,
whom they have disowned, the Re
publicans have produced no Ameri-
can who crusaded for democracy
and equality.
No leading Republican has ever
gotten up in Congress to answer
Rankin as he should have beer an
swered.
No Republican has ever gotten
up in Congress to answer Rankin
as he should have been answered.
No Republican in Congress has
been able to force his colleagues
to support, en- masse, the anti-lynch
and anti-poll tax bills.
No Republican in Congress has
forcefully and openly fought clo-
ture-the secret weapon with which
the old guard COP has come to the
aid of the Bourbons in defeating
such bills.
No Republican, in short, has been
American enough, in the biggest
and broadcast and best sense of the
word, to capture the imagination
and the faith of the Negro.
This is part of the answer.
The rest of the answer lies in
FDR and Wallace and their support
by the progressive elements of the
country.
Millions of Negroes still recog-
nize, through all their pain and
humiliation, the majestic force of
the progressive movement in
America movement which, in
the space of IL years, has in many
ways revolutionized the life of the
American worker.
And millions of Negroes still
cling to FDR as the symbol and
guiding spirit of that liberalism.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear husband
and father, Daniel Perry, who departed
this life one year ago, August 16, 1913.
In our hearts your memory fingers,
Sweetly, tender, kind and true.
There is not day, dear father,
That we do not think of you.
But again we hope to meet you,
When the days of life have fed
There in heaven with joy greet you
Where no farewell tears are shed.

inc Perry, wife and Mrs. Florence Rodg-
ers, sister.

Strange HuInOr

Humor often makes strange choices,
I've been in Cadillacs and Royces,
And had some guy in Model T,
Come along and laugh at me.
Few on this earth appear more dumb,
Than he who simply can't pour from
A boot, but takes great glee
In jokes on some dark Phi. D.
1t matters not how well Pm dressed
Shoes shined and trousers pressed,
Somewhere some clown in boorish raiment
Is bound to think me entertainment.
A moron puts his greatest zest,
In sounding off his coarsest jest,
Although I merit his respect,
By telling it in dialect.
Laughter gives refreshing pause,
To all who learn to laugh with cause;
Who wounds by laughter in life's arena
Lacks but the cage to rate hyena.

lIlSH NOIS, VI d EIOISSIdHI NOIS'
But the fact is that we ourselves
have created a Negro vote by hav-
ing deliberately set the Negro
apart, creating issues and interests
which have come to be regarded as
especially his own.
So what l have said about the
Negro vote in November represents
realities now facing campaign
managers-realities which can be
lodged neither by the Southern
Tories who want a Democratic vic
tory without democracy, or by the
COP old guard whose elephant
speaks with a Southern bray.
But the realities speak with
greatest portent for the Southern
Tories, who created them.
The Voices Rise
In 1882 and again in 1886 the
Negro vote went so overwhelming
ly for FDR that the Lincoln legend,
which for so years had kept the
Negro rigidly Republican, seemed
all but wiped out.
By 1910 the voices of the South
ern Tories were beginning to speak
stridently again in the counsel
chambers of the Democratic Party,
and through the party to the cOun-
try-and the tide began to change.
Not even a Roosevelt, not even
the great social gains registered
by his Administration in the course
of eight years, could keep all the
Negroes loyal to a party in which
the Talmadges, the Rankins, the
Pap" O'Daniels were threatening
to become the Voice of the Future.
In 1910 the Pittsburgh Courier,
with 100000 circulation, and the
Afro-American chain, with total
circulation of 7,OOO-two of the
"big three" in the American Negro
PRESUMED from support of
FDR in 1886 to support of Willkie.
And a large number of Negroes
not by any means majority, but
a large number nevertheless-fol-
lowed these papers back into the
Republican ranks.
Swing Accelerated
In the last four years this swing
back has been accelerated as the
Rankins and the O'Daniels used the
floors of Congress and State capt.
tolls as pulpits for the expounding
of their doctrines of race hate and
white supremacy.
The Republicans were not Turing
the Negroes into the Republican
Party; the Southern Democrats
were chasing the Negroes out Of
the Democratic Party. Bourbon
smashing of the anti-lynch bills,
anti-poll tax bills; Bourbon bludg-
coming of FEPC, Federal education,
FSA-these, and the shameful and
humiliating oratory of the Rankins
have one by one been severing
the bonds which should perma-
nently have bound the Negro, as
a worker, to the party of the New
Deal.
And through these last four
years the fate of the Negro soldier,
Jim Crowed and beaten and hu-
inflated and sometimes murdered
in an Army at least partly domi-
mated by Bourbon tradition, has
been filling the heart of Negroes
everywhere with growing pain and
anger.
And the nadir of the Negroes
faith in the Democratic Party was
reached last month in Chicago,
when the Southern reactionaries
teamed with the Northern bosses
to write a platform weaker on the
Negro issue than the Republican
and to throw out Wallace, who
alone of the candidates at the
Democratic Convention spoke up
unequivocally, forcefully, drama
tically, for Americanism and
equality.

The family of Hattie Belle Douglass
wishes to take this opportunity to thank
the many friends for their lovely tele-
grams, cards of sympathy and other ex-
pressions of love at the passing of our
dear mother and sister.
We can not say and we will not say
That she is dead-she is just away
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave of the hand
She has wandered into an unknown land.

In the love of there as the love of here
Think of her still as the same l say
She is not dead-she is just away.

what he should have, he must be
willing to shed blood. When the
white man is ever willing to chal-
lenge his own government, even in
wartime, when he knows the pen
atty for such a challenge, then the
cringing attitude of the Negro be-
comes all the more deplorable and
disconcerting. The attitude of the
Government, its hesitancy to step
in at once with the means at it's
command to halt such demonstra-
tons of defiance of law and order
as the 5000 white Philadelphia
Transit Company workers exhibit
ed, makes it all the more plain that
the Negroes must be prepared to
pay even the supreme penalty as
an example of his desire for free
dom and equality of opportunity.
When the government hesitated for
one hour, for one day to step in and
put a halt to this defiance of au-
thority it showed clearly that it
feared that the hate-strikers would
actually fight soldiers and other
representatives of constitutional
authority. And by the same token,
the failure of the government to
enforce the law promptly and give
the Negro relief, points out that it
also realizes that the Negro is the
lesser of two evils and consequent
ly the least to be feared.

Member of the Board of Lectureship of
The Mother Church, The First Church of
Christ. Scientist, Boston, Massachusetts
The lecturer spoke substantially as
follows:
God is divine Love, infinite good.
Christian Science reveals to us that good
is the only power, the only action; and
it gives life to all its ideas. God is good,
not merely as a quality or an attribute,
but as good itself. Hence, good is God.
Seen in this light, good is the true anti
dote for evil and its mesmeric preten-
sions. Love true, spiritual good, and you
worship God. Expect good, for God, good,
is ever present. Give to Him all Of your
allegiance, all of your thought, all of
your expectancy. Then you will be able
to demonstrate that good is the only real
power in the universe.
Do you believe in good and love it2
Did you ever exclaim in wonder at good
which came to you as the result of
prayer? Have you ever heard grateful
people singing, Il love to tell the story?
Fundamentally each and every n Of us
loves good. Unfortunately, however,
some have not yet learned that good is
omnipotent.
This understanding is attainable, be-
cause in Nahum we have these encour-
aging words: THE Lord is good, a
strong hold in the day of trouble; and
he knoweth them that trust in him"
It is well for you to believe in and love
good, to understanding that your real
self lives in and under the law of good.
There is truly no other place to live,
because God, good, is ever present. HUI
man experience would tend to disprove
this statement, but human testimony is
unreliable. How can the ever-changing
human mind disprove an eternal fact?
Christian Science reveals good as God;
and because good is God, Spirit, it is
not %cognizable by the five physical
senses or by the so-called human mind
which controls these senses. Therefore
we mast look beyond them and beyond
matter, which is al that they cognize,
to find and experience good? Just where
good is, and that is where God is. In
contrast With physical sense is true
spiritual consciousness, and to this con-
seriousness good is discernible and know
able.
However, in human experience good
must be sought, found, and demonstrat-
ed. Here are great, spiritual facts per
tanning to man; but as long as we be-
lieve that mar is physical, these spiritual
facts are hidden to us. Through the
study OF Christian Science these truths
or facts are revealed and we are able
to prove that they are available now and
always. But here is a call to active
Christian living, for we cannot drift and
dream when we should awake and claim
what we are as Gods image, always
spiritual, never material.
Good will come to those who strive for
good; meaning, good will come to those
who awaken to the presence of God
and demonstrate in their lives that good
is the only real power. True prayer is
thus spoken of by our Master: What
things soever We desire, when We pray,
believe that We receive them, and We
shall have them" Prayer for good is
not asking for something which man,
Gods image, does not have; but it is

The children of Israel after their es-
cape from Egypt looked back many
times to their formed bad condition, thus
keeping those conditions alive in MEM
DRY. In a similar manner does the hui
man race keep some old resentment, fear
or sin alive in thought. Why do we
look back with resentment or despair,
or look forward with fear 10 an unknown
future? Many, many persons have been
healed when they no longer kept Egypt
alive in their thoughts. At this very
moment God is expressing infinite good
for our benefit. It is well TO ask our
selves, How much of that which is good
are we taking, or of how much are we
allowing a past or a future to rob us?
The scientific Christian is not afraid
to put his full trust in the omnipotence
of God and walk the way with good.
Our Place in Mind
Where do we place ourselves mentally?
In matter or in Mind? It is well to pom
der what we think God to be, whether
He is infinite Mind or a humanity cir
cumscribed being subject to human
f~railties and changeableness. It is well
also to consider what we think of our
selves. Are we physical, or are we spirit
ual, primarily and eternally the image
of God?
The value Of considering ourselves as
Gods image, of rightfuly placing our
selves in the realm of protective good,
may be illustrated by the experience of
a woman who with her husband called
upon a Christian Scientist and asked
many questions about Christian Science
its value, its practically. what one
could expect from it. The couple re
turned to their home on the farm. A
few days later the woman started a fire
with the aid of kerosene. When the
resultant blaze was over, she was to
physical appearance badly burned on the
face and neck. The husband had no
one to send for help and the nearest
neighbor was miles away. He did what
he could humanity, which was practically
nothing. About midnight the woman
ceased her means and said: Il do not
understand all that the Christian Scien-
fist said, but some Of it I do. He said
that a Christian Scientists understands
that he is under Gods law, that God
protects him and gives him good; that
man is the image Of God and has what
God gives. From now on I am a Chris
tian Scientist and I take the good which
God gives"
Afterward in describing the expert
ence, the husband said that as he sat
by his wife's bedside he was conscious
of the subsistence of the blisters and dis
appearance of the wounds, and knew
that his wife was sleeping peacefully.
He said: 1T was like a windowpane,
one minute soiled, the next moment
washed clean. It was as if the hand Of
God swept lightly over my wife's face"
And then he told Of how later, when
the dawn came, he sank on his knees in
fearful gratitude, for he knew that a
new day had dawned for both of them.
Two days later this radiantly happy
couple called upon the Christian Scien-
list and told of the demonstration. There
were a number Of places more than two
inches in diameter that had new skin,
not tender, only not yet tanned by the
sun. Did not this woman consciously
place herself within the omniaction of
good and have her freedom? Did she
