there has been but one dismissal. This is unusual when it is
recalled that there were predictions of sweeping, wholesale
changes
LONG BEFORE Governor Alexander,s name was asSo-
ciated with the position of Governor this paper went ON re-
cord as opposing any sweeping, wholesale changes in posi-
ton and gave reasons therefor. As time passes, we feel some
what justified in this position and want to reaffim our con-
viction that such changes should not be made.
SHOULD o be misunderstood as taking the
position that no changes whatever should come about. That
would be unrealistic, to say the least. But we still hold that
change for the mere sake of change is not in and of itself
necessarily either good, or advantageous.
TWO ADDITIONAL situations come to mind with
respect to this whole matter, and viewed in any light, these
serve only to heighten our original point of view.
IN THE MONTHS that the Governor has taken office,
things have not moved with the speed expected, and this is no
fault of the Governor. 1t is natural, and was expected. How
ever, the situation would have been much worse if there had
been wholesale changes which some would-be politicians had
anticipated.
BUT THERE is still another point not to be taken light
w. BY now the Governor, and everybody in any official
capacity must be bombarded with applications, requests,
pressure, and everything in the books. Selecting, therefore,
anv qualified individual to fill any given position may be a
task which goes far beyond what the circumstances call for.
THE REPUBLICAN administration had not been in
power for over 20 years, and when they came to power on,
January 20, 1858, there had developed a tremendous back
log of appointments to be filled. This means that the laborers
are far greater than needed for the harvest, and this whole

black men; and today we cha1-

hundred million black men their

opportunities. Black men the
world over should do all in their
power to uphold these rights
and demand these privileges.
They are mans. We are no

AS SEEIT..

LIE who abandons the search
- for Truth, under whatever
pretext, abandons Truth. The
very word itself, by becoming
limited possession of a guild,
ceases to have any meaning.
Faith, which is founded on
truth, rests on mere opinion.
In all the churches where
parts of the worship are sub
ordinate to the sermon, parasit-
ism is greatly in evidence. That
which is meant to be stimulus
to thought becomes substi-
tute for it. The nearer never
really learns, he only listens.
While truth and knowledge
seem to increase, life and char
acter are left in the rear. Such
truth and knowledge are mere
seeming. By having cost moth
ing, they become nothing. SO
the parasitic church-member 60
es with not merely the idea to
live within the circle of ideas
of his minister but to be content
that his minister has the ideas.
This is like parasite who
claims he knows everything be-
cause he has a good library.
Every sincere man who sets out
in the Christian race begins by
attempting to exercise the spir-
itual faculties for himself. This
young life throbs in his veins
and he strives for further pro-
gross with earnest purpose and
resolute will. For a time he
really strives to attain a high
and original development, but
the temptation to relax - the
effort at spirituality-is great
er than he knows. The "Carna1
Mind" which is an "enmity
against God" and the deadly
apathy from within are encour-
aged from the outside source
from which he expects the

and brother and sister are play
ing together. To carry out this
ideal, help must be given to the
parents on how to play with
their children. They must be
helped to organize their games,
in keeping with the facilities of
the home.
There is no greater need than
for a rebuilding of the family
relationship. There must be a
giving back to the parents the
boy and the girl. On the other
hand there must be the bring
ing to the children their parents.
The most logical way and the
quickest way is through play
or recreation.
There are worlds of material
showing how families can make
use of their yards and homes
for family recreation. With the
help of the trained leadership
in agencies, schools and church.

is surprised to find how rich
and plentiful the provisions are
there for every part of his spir-
itual nature. Two or three times
week the feast is spread be-
fore him; the thoughts are
deeper than his own and splen-
did. Because of these facts, he
gradually exchanges his own
personal religion for that of the
congr ion. The very
means he takes to nurse his
personal religion often comes
in time to wean him from it.
so he hangs on and finally be-
comes a parasite of the pews.
He enjoys the weekly worship
but his character is untouched,
his will Embraced and his crude
soul is unquickened and unim-
proved. Thus, instead of min
istering to the growth of the
individual member, this second
hand nutrition tends to destroy
development and arrest the real
culture of the soul.
Our churches are overhoWing
with members who are mere
consumers. Their interest is the
time, required going to obtain
food to be given out by the
faithful preacher (hermit-crab)
to last for another week. Instead
of leaning to pray for himself,
this re1igious-parasite is content
to be prayed for; his work for
Christ is done by a paid deputy.
His whole life is a prolonged
indulgence in the bounties of
the church. The irony, in some
cases, is when he hes down to
die, he has to send for the
minister as the final act of as
surance.
Other signs now begin to
appear with regard to this par
ticular species of parasitism in
the religious. The first symptom
is Idleness. When church is
off its true diet, it is off it's true
work. A dead hur h or
church having no reaction on
the community; church without
propogative power in the world,
cannot be other than a calamity
to all within its borders. Such
church is an institution, first;
for the making and screening
of parasites; and instead of rep
resenting toI the world the
Kingdom of God on earth, it
is despised by the Cody and
the unGod1y alike as refuge
for fear and a nursery for SUI
perstition. IN this regard it pre-
sents to the world false con-
ception of the religion of Christ.

es each child and adult, while
at the centers of recreatiin, can
develop enough skill to render
valuable service to the general
home program.
The centers can give training
courses in home play-such a
course will be of greatest value
to the parents and younger
children. Every department,
covering dramatics, aircraft and
art can be directed to fit the
home.
Through this process, the
centers of recreation will fiji a
great community need, and at
the same time improve their
agency program throughout the
day and evening.

has awarded a $599, GOT contract
for construction of the new 20
classroom North Mount Vernon
Avenue Elementary School, which
is the last project of a $4.5 mil
lion building program launched

non Avenue Residential area.
The contract award depletes
