Pilgrim Baptist Church News:
1t was inspiring to note the many
pupils and teachers of the Sunday
School of Pilgrim Baptist church
present last Sunday. Devotional
services were led by Seaman first
class R. Avis, Void Chamberlain
Field.
We were also proud that many of
the students who graduated from
the High schools throughout the
city in 1914 were members of the
Sunday school and church, and
Pilgrim congratulates them and
all others. A testimonial celebra-
ton has been planned by Miss
Laura Smith and her committee
honoring the graduates of St. Paul.
The public is urged to attend to
encourage these young people. A
special tribute to Miss Leatrice
Dodd, who was Salutatorian of her
class at Mechanic Arts High school.
She was a regular writer and news
reporter for the church.-M. A.

At the Sunday morning services
Rev. B. N. Moore chose for his
message, "Jesus the hope of the

meaningless unless you have hope.
Without this hope and faith you will
eventually be lost because in time,
material things disintegrate." Rev.
Boyd Patrick, Duluth, Mimi, led

Portable.
The sooner Negroes are taught
that this is their native land and
that it holds as much promise for
them as for anybody else, the bet
ter off we will be. Then we may see
an end to the sordid examples of
over-sensitiveness on the race ques-
ton that has the entire nation
sitting on powder key.
Understanding in Dixie
No. 3 on the agenda should be
the actual graphing with the truth
THAT THE NEGRO'S MOST
NECESSARY MOVE IN INTER
RACIAL RELATIONSHIPS is TO
GET AN UNDERSTANDING
WITH THE SOUTHERN WHITE
MAN. Too long has this needed I'M
Outstanding been avoided. Propa-
ganda, pro and con, contempt,
hatred constantly famed by both
those who are sincere and those
who operate for point, have played
a tremendous role in wedging apart
the Negro and the Southern white
man. The Negro Problem is mostly
in the South. The white man rules
the South. The issue is plain. Both
Negro and Southern white man
know each other better than whites
and Negroes from other sections of
the land. But the Negro and the
Southern white man won't get to-
gether ever so long as the bar
rage of propaganda is continued
confusing the issue. Basically, the
problem is this: The Southern
white man has refused to recognize
the Negro as complete human be-
ing and the Negro has avoided
making a bold fight for what is
rightfully his.
To get around open fireworks,
tables should be spread, chairs
drawn up and the whole matter
laid out for complete examination.
But in this hypothetical examina-
ton Of the core of the trouble, a
change in complexion should take
place around the conference board.
Instead of the "best Negroes" and
the educated, liberal whites" who
have been handling the situation all
these years, the share-cropper, the
common laborer, the maid, the cook,
the porter and the so-ealled "little
Negroes" should get a chance to
talk.
Poor Whites" Needed
In talking they would talk to the
so-called poor white trash," and
the uneducated elements among the
Southern whites, left to their own
devices, join the Ku Klux Khan,
form lynch mobs and follow
blindly after Rankin, Bilbo, Reyn-
ODDS, Ellenden and Cotton Ed Smith
in their white supremacy" pro-
grams. When such a situation
comes about, then the way will
begin to become apparent. But
not until then.
These are some of the steps that
must be taken to prepare the Ne
gro for his full participation in
national and international affairs,
and to make him equal and cap
able of assuming a position of real
manhood, dignity and ready for
unity with all forces that strive for
common objective. These things
would make the Negro fully a man
and entitled to full share in the
struggle and in the gains in the
final victory.

every group on the face or Tn
within ourselves-within our own
racial boundaries. When we fight
that and win it, then we will be in
a position to take up the cudgels
in defense of others.
How can Negroes talk about
unity with Jewish, Irish, Czech,
Italian, Chinese, Catholic and Mexi-
can minorities when we don't have
unity among ourselves? How can
we become members of a united
front" when we haven't learned the
great lesson of racial respect and
cooperation? There are Negroes
around the land busy making
speeches about the Zionist Move
ment and its advantages to the
Jewish people; discussing the role
of China in the postwar world; tax
ing sides with the Irish Republi-
can Army; casting their lot with
the Communists; joining a million
and a half churches, all different,
trying to pass" mentally for
something they are not when our
problem lies in every mirror we
look into.
Discipline Badly Needed

agenda should be the spread of
some sort of training that makes
for discipline among our Adde'S
cents with plenty thrown in for
the adults. Some kind of program
should be devised to educate the
great masses against harmful vices
that are picked up wholesale from
a decadent white civilization which
offer no return, either financially
or in health. The sound things of
life should be talked about and ex-
amined-such acts as buying ones
own home, saving money that is
being recklessly thrown away at a
time when it comes easy, for
whiskey, idle pleasures, and fanci-
full whims.
A practical code of morals should
be taught everybody, particularly
on the score of the racially harm
full practice of disregarding the in
stitution of marriage and putting
male and female relationships on a
basis of free love" or so-called
common law" marriage. In this
way, children can have parental re-
spect and hope in the future based
on the protection of a family hearth

0ver-Sensitiveness Bad
No. 2 on the program should be
education against the severe case
of over-sensitiveness with which
it seems, the entire race is acutely
suffering.
We cannot go far if our people
regardless of what has happened t.

of white people, go through life
with the racial chip on theil
