The Christiun
Church
BY REV. Nj. L. SHEPARD
For the NNPA News Service


Josephine Baker, internationally
famous star of stage and concert
hall, paid visit to our church
(Mount Olive Baptist Church,
Philadelphia on Sunday after
noon. It was during the service in
which the men of our church were
giving a citation to the Honorable
J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted
ruler of the Elks.
Her presence, of course, created
quite sensation, and the audience
listened in rapt attention to her
message from. the pulpit.
In a few we'll chosen words she
spoke about her feeling that we
are all members of the same fam
lily and that we should all have
that feeling, especially when we
are in the House of God, our COM
mon Father.
Her message about the Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood
Of Man carried unusual weight be-
cause it came from the soul Of one
who, against great odds, had en-
deavored to live up to those prin-
ciples in her life as an entertainer.
When she was offered a fabu-
lous sum to appear in Miami
Beach, Florida, she only agreed to
appear if colored persons were to
be admitted with no semblance Of
segregation.
In Philadelphia, she demanded
that colored musicians be en-
ployed in the hitherto all-white
orchestra that was to accompany
her,
She even visited the court house
in Trenton, New Jersey, and oy
that act demonstrated her SYM
pathy for the six poor colored men
who were on trial for their lives
for a crime which they insist they
did not commit.
It is not enough e to pay lip
service to the, idea of the Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood
Of Man.
1t costs very little to preach
about it. But one runs into diff
culties only when one dares to do
something about it.
Isn't it rather singular - even
shocking--when one considers that
in Miami Beach preachers Tor
wears have been preaching from
their pu1pits these doctrines, but
the lines, of segregation stood just
AS firm and rigid. But at the COM
mand of one little brown girl, the
walls of segregation came tumbling
down = and I understand that
they are still down.
Here appears to be an instance
in which southern tradition =
while stoutly resisting the message
of the preachers = bowed to the
demands of Josephine Baker. Will
someone tell me why?
