The first colored pastor was the
Rev. John H. Brice, who was ap-
pointed on November /, 1864. Prior
to that date the pastors or assistant
pastors of Dumbarton Church were
in charge.
In July, 1876, the cornerstone Of
the present church was laid. -Four
years later, on July IL, 1880, the little
church on Mill street, called by
many members 1.-The Little Ark, -
burned down. Only a few things

September 6, 1923, with William
Lang, a member of Dumbarton
Church as superintendent. The
colored managers were William v
Grant, Eli Nugent and Thomas
Mason. When the first organ fol-
the school was purchased, some
older members asserted the church
"was done for, as the young people
had put the devils box in the

Many of the sayings were writer
by worldly wise King Solomon
Others have different authors as.
signed. That they are more up-to.
date than much modern philosophy
is tribute to the eternal quality
of truth.
For the past generation there has
been a general tendency to give
youth its head. AS a result. many
young people have been taught tc
disdain patriotism, re-think the de-
STABILITY of chastity, and question
everything high and holy for which
home and church have stood in
recent centuries.
For the first time in many years
the International Sunday School
Lessons for a period of nine weeks
will deal with the Book of Proverbs
This means that the ethical en-
phasis of religious faith will be made
in a most impressive manner in the
coming weeks.
To people who often read too
much and think too little comes
this arresting book, which gets down
into the very marrow Of life.
1t all depends on how men are
educated. The Bible takes its stand
decisively on this dictum, that all
truth comes from God and that any
circle of truth which is either un-
able or unwilling to include God
within its limits Is but partial and
therefore unsatisfactory segment OF
truth. We cannot make people wise
simply by pouring facts into Their
heads.
One by one, the Proverbs are d.
rected to readers. They are def
nitely opposed to the crowd instinct
which is youths greatest peril
Proverbs tell us not to follow a mul-
titude to do evil.

Publishers
Corner

A part Of our job for which we
seldom get paid in the coin Of
the realm is making speeches. For
some unexplained reason the gen
eral populace expects editors and
publishers to be public speakers.
Since 1927 when we first assayed
to sign editor" behind our name,
we've bored (by invitation) count
less groups because some unsus-
pecting program chairman thought
editors are naturally platform per
formers.
Since we never had a days for
NAL training in the art Of charming
and pleasing audiences, composed
of church or club women, Legion
posts, clubs, etc, our job has not
been an easy one. Although we
bought a thesaurus Of humor and
"Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"
we've never told a single funny
story out Of anybody's book. Just
can't remember the dawgone
things. We've got books on every
thing under the sun but we haven't
acquired a book on public speaking
as yet.
When YOU tell one of those per-
suasive program committee chair
men all of this and more, the mat
ter usually ends up with, We'll,
you editors are so well informed
and we must have you come and
talk to US" This has gone on and
on since 1927.
We wore out all of the Negro
organizations long ago. As interest
in the Negro problem" mounted
prior to the war period invitations
to address white groups grew to
great proportions. The practice we
got expounding to the Negro groups
in the earlier years stood US in
good stead. After all, a fellow has
to practice up on somebody!
Seriously, however, in the Twin
Cities we definitely need a larger
number Of well prepared and well
informed speakers to carry our
problems and programs, to the in
creasing number of white people,
who want to know what the Negro
is thinking and doing, about his
status in this nation.
A good public speaker is a good
will ambassador and the more of
them we have in the community the
better our public relations will be.
The two Urban League agencies in
our Twin Cities could do these two
Negro communities a real service
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1947-03-21

if they would organize good speak
ers' bureaus.
A typical mistake of Negro
speakers is the tendency Of damn
ing all white people for the sundry
ills from which the American Ne
gro suffers. In doing this, such
speakers often ignore that a con-
siderable part of the Negroes plight
in this country may at this date,
be traced to group failings, as well
as the prejudice of some Of the
white brethren.
The attitude Of giving the eau
casians all the blame is illogical
and hampers mutual understand
ing. 1t often frightens whites whose
interest in improving general and
specific conditions could be OBJ
tanned by a wiser approach.
Someone has said, and Negro
speakers must learn, You can't
influence people by antagOniZing
them" The editor of the Iowa By
Stander of Des Moines must have
had that in mind when he wrote the
following editorial:
In these days of stress and anx-
iety over peace among men and
nations, representatives of minority
groups are called upon to speak in
meetings of all kinds. People want
to hear from others so as to better
understand their problems.
Here in Des Moines, we enjoy
an unusually fine interchange of
views.
in the selection of individuals
who carry messages from one group
to another, it is pretty important
who is charged with that response
bility for a speaker may either
ALLEVIATE or incur the good will of
members of his audience.
"All too often, some speakers
pursue a policy of using their whole
message in a TRADE against the
other groups. They never say any
thing about the good things that
are done, showing a lack Of APP
probation to those people who have
