The report made following the
shooting said that officers w h o

Rev. Daniel Lyman Ridout, admin
istrative secretary of the Baltimore

the church's policy scope and it's
accomplishments in the current
quadrennium.
The proposed handbook on wor-
ship will be a corporate work of

the Methodist Church for use by
its ministers and other denomina-
| tional ministers who use the Meth
odist hymnal and ritual.
The commission handbook will
| deal with revisions in the order of
service acceptable to the church.
Several new orders of worship
submitted by leaders of the church
including one for ground breaking
ceremonies of church buildings,
have been reviewed by commission
in connection with its work on the
handbook.
The commission is elected every
four years by the Methodist Gen.

Out of all the oneness lessons
sold it takes the love of God no
blunder, That which God has joined
together let no man put asunder.
God joins you together a one
ness of love as man and wife, we
are told. Now it is no more. 1t is
a oneless home, it is the love of
our God controls.
The preachers perform with a
license that each state sells you,
A deed, it gives you the right over
the woman, for her to obey you
and take heed.
Licenses makes man and wife
by the law, it takes the love of
God to conform. If you haven't
got this love in your home, it's
many things for you and to be
concerned.
To marry modern husbands and
wives it is only a deed from the
law. When the preacher asks is
there any objections, somebody
ought to say nav.
Gods Holy Bible is a book of
books the letter do not send you
to preach. If you haven't been
born of the spirit of God, in Gods
house you are not fit to teach.
To many homes full of hell to-
day for the love of God he did not
join. 1t is only a license that the
state sells you, sometime it melts
like an ice cream cone.
The love of God doesn't melt YOU
see, 1t is everlasting to one and
all Jesus is our corner stone. there
is no way for US to fall.
We are falling by the way side
some haven't been born again, they
are leading Gods people to hell to-
day, because they are full of sin.
You had better see Jesus! And
be sure you are right, because the
world is stirred up and the church
es are in a fight.

The executions in 1853 were car
ried out for murder, rape, espion-
age and kidnapping. There were
as many Negroes executed for muir
der as white, the number being rs.
AS was to be expected with rape
more Negroes were executed for
this crime than were whites. Some
six Negroes paid with their lives
Cor rape as compared to one white
person. There were no colored
persons executed for espionage and
kidnapping.
A breakdown according to sex
show no Negroes among the three
women executed.
A colored man in Georgia was
the oldest person executed in 1858.
A further breakdown of execu-
lions for rape revealed that all
those of Negroes occurred in the
South. There were two in Georgia,
one in Alabama, two in North Car
DINA and one in Texas.
The lone white person paying
the supreme price for rape met his
death in Texas.
The wide variance between the
number of Negroes executed fol
rape as compared to whites is un-
derstandable when it is pointed out
that charge of rape hardly ever
is placed against a white man. 1t
is usually reserved for Negroes in
their relationship with white wo-
men. A white man in a similar
position usually is charged with
assault or attempted assault, far
less serious crime.
A glance at figures of execu-
tions for rape over a period of
years revealed a wide discrepancy
for white and Negroes. The year
with the narrowest gap was 1850
when nine colored persons were
executed to four whites. Figures
on some other years revealed:
Some II Negroes to one white
in 1852; Is to two in 1851; two to
none in 1919; 81 to one in 1913;
and so on with the highest proper.

1t is not enough that legal barri-
ers be removed and that conditions
continue to move along in a tradi-
tional maner, DR.. Patterson said.
To illustrate, he pointed to the
problems which remained after the
Supreme Court had ruled against
racial restrictive convenant in
housing.
In education as in housing, said
DR.. Patterson, we will have the
problem of implementing programs
on indignation, reginally and local
ly. There is a need for a positive
approach in which the ultimate
goal is full participation of all citi-
zens in every phase of the Ameri-
can way of living, he stated.
There is sufficient evidence, he
said that we are approaching the
time when Indignation as an ideal is
gaining wider acceptance among
thoughtful people.
DR.. Patterson's final remarks
were directed to the students and
faculty as he said he does not feel
in any way divorced Gin heart
mind, or spirit from this institu-
ton"
He was introduced to the large
vesper audience by his successor at
Tuskegee, President l.. H. Foster
DR.. Patterson recently returned
from an extensive tour of Africa
where he travelled as a member Of
the World Bank which is making
study of the economic resources
of Liberia.
He resigned the post of presi-
dent of Tuskegee in 1858 to be-
come head of the Phelps-Stokes
Fund. He became president of Tus-
kegee in 1884.
DR.. Patterson also serves on the
boards of several educational in
situations among them Booker I

many educational doors were still

very clear. The Negro college

ing right away what would be next
as like them, I had already read
in the newspapers where DR.. OPP

secret, wouldn't be allowed to look
at the secrets no more and
from then on / was occupied with
listening to what turned into
most lively conversation becoming
more and more livelier as the
fruits of the stream and the brew
of the vine flowed more and more
freely F.. then somebody brought
up the question of how is dey
gwine keep the secret from the
man dat found de secret. A ques-

since they found out that DR.. OPP

to see his secret no more, and |
wasn't too much treasured in my

of Aine Haggar's Chillun but
