Church Council Calls For Justice for the Race The Problem No Longer Sectional Racial Understanding Necessary Vol 7 Number 16 NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 26.—A call to the citizens of the United States to act in conformity with the high ideals of democracy and of Christianity in the present condition of strained relations between the races has just been issued by the Federal Council of the Church of Christ in America, acting in conjunction with a large representative committee of white and colored citizens from all sections of the country. This committee met recently in New York City on the call of the secretary of the Home Missions Council and the chairman of the Committee of the Federal Council on Negro Churches. Much time was given to a full and free discussion of the racial situation. As a result this address was issued which represents the thought of these leaders and the deliberative judgment of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. A Statement and Recommendations on the Present Racial Crisis The recent race conflicts in some of our cities challenge the attention of the Churches of Jesus Christ to their responsibility respecting an amicable and fair adjustment of race relations in America. In the fellowship of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America are included 3,989,852 members of the Negro churches. In speaking, therefore, at this time for humanity and justice we voice the mind and conscience of both races. The present situation is a challenge to the Churches charged with the promotion of the brotherhood of man, which look upon all men as entitled to a footing of equality of opportunity. This calls for preaching the duty of economic and community justice for the Negro, thus securing peace and good will between the races. Beyond all else the present situation calls for confession on the part of Christian men and women of failure to live up to the standard of universal brotherhood as taught by Jesus Christ. We must face frankly the fact that a most dangerous inter-racial situation now threatens our country. The problems growing out of the presence of two races in America are clearly seen to be nation-wide and the adjustments must necessarily be made on the basis of national responsibility. The migration of thousands of Negroes to the North emphasizes this fact. The outbreaks in several cities and the persistence of the anarchy and treason of Lynch-law imperil our democracy. We must capture that the Church and its ministry as related to the welfare of the Negro has been too little inspired by the fundamental principles and ideals of Jesus Christ. Communities that have expressed horror over atrocious aboad, have seen, almost unmoved and silent, men beaten, hanged and also burned by the mob. A Constructive Program for Just Inter-Racial Relations 1. The Government, local, state and national, should impartially guarantee to all classes security of life and of property. Mob violence is becoming a crowd habit. When life and property are ruthlessly taken, when men and women are lynched with no protection from officers or courts, law and order are trampled under foot. We call upon the pulpit, the press and all good people to create a public sentiment that will support necessary legislation for the enforcement of existing laws, that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness may be equally assured to all classes. 2. The Negro should have economic justice, equal opportunity to get and hold work on the same terms as other men, with equal pay for equal work, and with fair working and living conditions. The entrance of large numbers of Negroes into the various industries emphasizes the necessity of an immediate amicable adjustment of relations with white employers and fellow-workers. 3. We call upon men and women everywhere to protect the sanctity of home and womanhood. We record with satisfaction the growing enlistment of Negro leaders in a program THE DAYTON FORUM of education and Christianization such as tends to prevent crimes that provoke mob violence. The home of the Negro should receive the same measure of respect and protection as that of other Americans and the sanctity of his home relations should be safeguarded in every possible way. Swift and impartial action of the law should strike the violator of the sanctity of any home, white or black. 4. We recognize as fundamental to the welfare and efficiency of society that adequate recreational provisions be made available for Negro citizens. 5. We strongly endorse the plea of the Negro for equal traveling accommodations for equal charges. 6. Adequate educational facilities for Negro children and youth should be provided not only as a national obligation but also as a necessity for national welfare. We emphasize the urgency of giving to the Negro his full share of local and national funds. 7. Qualifications for franchise should be administered irrespective of race, creed or color. 8. Closer cooperation between the races should be promoted by organizing local committees of white and colored people in towns and communities for the consideration of interracial welfare. All possible agencies should be enlisted in fostering a spirit of justice and of good will in the relations of one race to the other. We recommend that the governor of each state appoint a standing committee for the careful study of the causes underlying race friction with a view to their removal and that Congress be requested through a non-partisan committee to investigate the disturbed and threatening inter-racial situation throughout the nation. Racial understanding and cooperation furnish the only sure basis of race adjustment in a democracy. The root of the matter is the failure to recognize the Negro as a man. The basis of distress on both sides is fear, and "fear hath torment." Respect for Negro manhood and womanhood is the only basis for amicable race adjustment, for race integrity and for permanent racial peace. If we talk democracy, let us act democracy. If we propose a democratic program for the protection and self-determination of the weak and oppressed people of Europe as a means of permanent peace and good will abroad, let us apply the same program at home.

THIRKIELD, Chairman of the Committee on Negro Churches. CHARLES S. MacFARLAND, General Secretary. WEDDING A pretty wedding took place on Saturday, September 20th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Wood, 31 Stone Mill road, when Miss Lennie Lane Young became the bride of Mr. Charles Foster Neighbors, of London, Ohio. The living room was lavishly decorated, and at the first soft strains of Sousa's new wedding march the bride on the arm of her father, Mr. Charles Young, of Nicholasville, Ky., approached the beautifully decorated mantel before which the minister and groom were waiting. Soft candle light peeped from the tall silver candlesticks hidden among large clusters of golden rod, and shed their light upon the young couple. The officiating clergyman was Rev. J. B. Parsons, of the Norwood avenue Church of Christ. Following the ceremony a breakfast was served. Many handsome gifts were received including a check from the bride's father and others. Only members of the immediate families were present: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Young, Nicholasville, Ky.; Mr. and Mrs. Neighbors, London, Ohio; Miss Ethel Neighbors, Mr. Willard Neighbors, Master Nathen Neighbors, and Mr. and Mrs. O. Dillard. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Foster Neighbors will be "At Home" after October 1st, R. R. No. 2, London, Ohio. DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26. 1919 Despite the inclement weather the Emancipation celebration was quite a success. The parade began to move at eleven o'clock and the entire program was carried out with the exception of the races. More than fifteen hundred persons were in attendance at the fair grounds. The splendid address of Prof. Billups will be long remembered. 1 Col. J. M. Butler, chairman, and leading promoter of the celebration, has begun already to plan for next year's entertainment, with an idea of developing the business and industrial features. GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Snell, of 197 Hawthorne street, have left on an extended trip to Omaha, Nebraska, to visit their son, Mr. Jesse Snell, who is an entrepreneur carpenter and contractor of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Snell are celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Fifty years ago they spent their honeymoon at Topeka, Kan., and they plan to visit Topeka before their return and go over the ground they covered a half century ago when love was young. Several friends from Euclid avenue church agreeably surprised Mr. and Mrs. Snell the night before they left for Omaha. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Miss Ruth Jackson, who has been the executive secretary of the Fifth street branch Y. W. C. A. for nine months, left the city Monday by request to take up the work at Rochester, N. Y. Mrs. Courtney, from Indianapolis, will have charge of the executive work and Miss Ruth Moore the girls' work. The senior girls reserve, with Miss Moore, surprised Miss Jackson on last Friday night and presented Miss Jackson with a beautiful beaded bag. The operetta, "A Feast of Little Lanterns," is to be given by the Senior Girl Reserves in October. Rev. Father Belboder is instructing the girls. The executive board of the Y. W. C. A. presented Miss Ruth Jackson with a box of handkerchiefs last Friday as an appreciation of her work while in Dayton. A campaign for the raising of $1,000 for the Y. W. C. A., West 5th street branch is being pursued for the next thirty days. This has been made necessary because some have not paid the amount subscribed in the first drive and because the contract went over the amount estimated. It is hoped that those who have not paid their pledges will do so at once. Others who have not had an opportunity to contribute to this worthy enterprise are urged to do so during this drive that the building may be dedicated free of debt. The Fifth street Y. W. C. A. is offering a course in Nurse Training at the Red Cross headquarters, beginning October 1st. The course is open to all persons from high school girls up. Persons desiring to enter this course will enroll at once with the Secretary, Mrs. Barbara E. Courtney, 405 Norwood avenue. A small fee of $3.50 will be asked. Classes in other subjects will be conducted at the Y. W. C. A. when completed. These will be announced later. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The classes in Educational work will begin November 7th. There will be classes in Automobiling, Architectural Drawing, Common English Branches, Civil Service, and Spanish. Any young man over the age of 10 can enter these classes at a nominal cost. Competent instructors will be in charge of these classes, and all who take advantage of what is offered will be in line for promotion in their respective fields of labor. Pref. G. M. McClellan, of Louisville, Ky., was in the city a short while this week, and had the "Y" as his headquarters. Mr. McClellan is traveling in the interest of an Anti-Tuberculosis Sanitarium. Dr. J. A. Emerson, a prominent dentist, of Louisville, Ky., was a plentiful caller at the "Y" rooms this week. Both men and boys are taking an increased interest in the activities of the Branch. The attendance at the movies is increasing. Last Friday evening several ladies graced the occasion. Plans are on foot to make these movies more interesting and entertaining than they have been. ASK PRESIDENT FOR REPRESENTATION AT INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a letter to President Wilson calling his attention to the fact that no Negroes had been among the 22 men from all parts of the country invited to meet in Washington on October 6th, to plan new relations between labor and capital. The letter which is signed by John R. Shillady, asks the appointment of Negroes to the commission in proportion to the percentage that Negro labor forms of the country's total labor supply; namely, 17 per cent. The letter reads: September 19, 1919. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Sir: The press of September 18th tells of the invitation extended by you to twenty-two men residing in all parts of the country to meet in Washington, October 6th next, to "formulate plans for development of a new relationship between capital and labor." The dispatch also tells of the selection to be made later of an additional and equal number of conferences by organized labor and organized employers. May we not call your attention to a fact that apparently was overlooked by you in the selection of these men and one which we feel should be brought to your attention and that of the country at large. According to the census of 1910 there were in the United States at that time 7,317,922 Negroes over ten years of age, and of that number 5,192,535, or 71 per cent, were employed in gainful occupations. According to the same records there were in America 62,933,870 whites ten pears of age and over, of which number only 32,974,056, or slightly less than 50 per cent were employed in gainful occupations. We wish to call your attention to the fact that no one of the twenty-two persons invited by you to sit on this commission is of the colored race, although, according to the above records one of every six wage-earners in the United States is of the colored race. May we not also remind you of the fact that due to the exigencies arising as a result of the war, immigration from Europe has been changed to emigration to Europe. The industrial vacuum thus created has, to a large extent, been filled and will continue to be filled by Nerro workmen from the South. With his labor thus taking on a value hitherto unknown, the Negro becomes more and more a factor in the industrial life of the country. In any discussion of the relations of the future between capital and labor, and particularly in view of the present unrest, may we not ask if it is at all wise to ignore in this manner nearly seventeen per cent of the labor of America? May we not, therefore, ask that if it is possible you appoint representatives of colored labor at least in proportion to the percentage that Negro labor forms of the country's total labor supply? Respectfully yours, SECRETARY. HEAR Story of A Colored Woman's 14 Months in France with the Boys in Khaki By Kathryn M. Johnson Formerly Field Agent for N. A. A. C. P.

Thomas and Jackson desire to express their thanks to the general public for the splendid attendance at Memorial hall Monday night on the occasion of the Emancipation dance. The hall has been engaged for next year. It was the first time in the history of the hall that a colored man had charge of the building in the person of Col. J. M. Butler. Some misunderstood, says Col. Butler, the new arrangement of entering the hall. The new ruling is that all patrons of dances must enter the side doors on St. Clair street.

All who heard him went away with something to think about. Rev. Dr. J. J. Jackson, of Bellefontaine, Ohio, will be the speaker at both services Sunday. Those who know Dr. Jackson need not be urged to be present because they know he always brings a strong, stirring message. It is expected that the church will be filled both morning and evening with an eager congregation. The pastor, Rev. T. J. Smith, sent greetings in a letter which was read at the morning service by the church clerk. His vacation is drawing toward a close and he expects to be back in his pulpit the first Sunday in October, re-invigorated both in mind and body, and loaded with interesting information and spiritual food for Zion and all Dayton. The unceasing rain prevented the Sunday schools taking part in the Emancipation Day parade Monday. It was a sad disappointment to the superintendent and the ladies who had made such elaborate preparations as it was to some hundred and fifty or more children who had expected to participate. We resigned ourselves grace fully to the invicible and set our faces to the future with no let-up. The Everybody-Go-To-Sunday-School October 5th campaign is in full swing and will be the beginning also of our campaign for a fifty per cent increase in membership.

NOTES The North Ohio Conference of which this church is a part will convene at Hamilton, Ohio, October 8th. The gavel will be in the hands of our presiding bishop, Joshua H. Jones, D. D. L.L. D., of Wilberforce, Ohio, who was placed in charge of the entire Third Episcopal district because of the death of the lamented Bishop Shaffer. Since the sounding of the gavel in September of last year, many changes have taken place. Death has made inroads in the ranks of the ministers and many of them have made their final report at the bar of God. Many of the lay members who were present at the conference last year, have passed to the Great Beyond and many have become too feeble to attend divine worship. The changes in our local church have been many and varied. There have been conversions, accessions, money raised to carry on the work and many things accomplished that will accrue good to the congregation. Quite a number of our congregation has passed to their reward. Many of the members have been faithful to their trust while others have lagged by the way. But with all and in all God has blessed us and we feel grateful. This year is destined to close the relationship between pastor and people and now that we are only two Sabbath days journey from the convening of the conference, all are urged to be present at services all day and help to meet the obligation, so that the incoming pastor will not be embarrassed and discouraged at the beginning of his labors. There will be special sermons this Sunday and the following Sunday. October 5th, the Pastor will preach his farewell sermon. We urgently appeal to all the members and friends to pay their dollar money. Your name will be added to the list at the door. The Sunday school should interest you. They are taking on new life. The Christian Endeavor society held an excellent session last Sunday evening and the young folks under the leadership of Miss Thomas are looking forward to a successful year's work. Come early to the services as they will begin on time. ST. PAUL A. M. E. ZION Services Sunday: 10:45, preaching by Pastor; 3 p. m., Good Samaritan sermon by Rev. J. B. Anderson, D. D. 7:30 p. m., Christian Endeavor; 8 p. m., preaching. Saturday night, Stewardess entertain- ment. A gold watch given to the one selling the most tickets over 300. Rev. J. D. Mende, Pastor. WESLEYAN NOTES There was a large attendance at Sabbath school last Sunday and a very fine session was enjoyed. Rev. Grant Curtis, of Marietta, Ohio, gave a very interesting talk. He is one of our convention missionaries. He also preached a soul-stirring sermon at 11 a.m. and at 8 p.m. Rev. Jerome Wilson preached his first sermon as he was ordained Sunday, September 14th. His subject was "Study to Show Thyself Approved unto God a Workman that Needeth Not be Ashamed, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth." He handled his subject in such a manner as to hold the profound attention of his audience. We are proud of Rev. Wilson and pray the blessings of God on his efforts. Our pastor, Rev. Bass, left this week for a two weeks' vacation and will be present with us Sunday, October 12th. Rev. Jerome Wilson will officiate in his absence and all members and friends are urged to be present. Come thou with us and worship. All ministers and superintendents and their schools are invited to be present at our third quarterly con- vention. Sunday afternoon, September 28th, at 8 o'clock. Good music and an excellent program will be given. Rev. Artis, of Richmond, Ind., president of the Sunday school convention of the South Ohio conference will be with us. Let everybody go to Sunday school October $th—that is Rally Day. R. McGregor, Supt BETHEL BAPTIST The services in general were very good. Members and friends were at their posts early awaiting the opening of the Sunday school mass meeting, which helped to make it a great success. Many visitors and friends worshipped with us. After services, Mrs. Courtney, the new Y. W. C. A. worker was introduced. Let the women of our congregation rally to her support and that will help save our young girls. Dr. Hawkins, president of the only Colored Hospital in the State of Ohio, spoke favorably of the great work of our pastor. The evening services were given over to the Usher Board of the Church, a special sermon being preached by the Pastor. Let all try and be present next Sunday. Our pastor was called hurriedly away Sunday night to Kentucky to preach a special funeral but will be back by Sunday to take charge. Mr. Richard Tremble is still confined at his home on Germantown street. We were all glad to have Mrs. Brassfield, who has been crippled from an accident to worship with us Sunday. She is now residing in New Carlyle, Ohio, and is spending a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Robert McGregor, of Pontiac street. Sunday school, 9:00; Morning services, 10:45; evening services, 8:00; B. Y. U., 6:30. Communion every second Sunday. Bible Training Class every Tuesday evening.

After a short but interesting business session, the board was served to a two-course luncheon in the highest and most elaborate style. We are anxious that all members attend all regular meetings. Mrs. Taylor, who is acting chairman in Mrs. Tremble's place is doing a great work and she should receive the support of all members.

PUBLISHER'S ANNOUNCEMENT Beginning with its first issue in October, The Forum will make some improvements in its editorial staff and mechanical makeup. The management has been fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. Bertie Ellis as society editor. Mrs. Ellis has had splendid training in literary work and will be a valuable addition to the Forum force. Mr. J. Presten Jetton, poet and If you can keep your head when all about you Are loosing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting, too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting; Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies; Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream—and not make dreams your master If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat these two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them, "Hold!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son! —Rudyard Kipling scholar, has been procured to do special reportorial work that will be interesting and entertaining. Articles from the pen of Father J. N. Samuels-Bellboder will be published from time to time, while Mr. E. T. Banks will write on social service and community work. MRS. BERTIE ELLIS Society Editor of The Forum Special new features will be the New York letter, and articles from our Washington, D. C. correspondent. A column will be devoted to the activities of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, and a weekly survey of racial progress. The best expressions of editors of leading periodicals will be reprinted as an educational feature to broaden the minds of our youthful readers. The aim of the management shall be to produce a lively home paper that can be read by every member of the family. We have an aversion for publishing sensational crimes and scandal and shall not imitate the big Negro weeklies in this respect. No newspaper can succeed without the substantial support of the general public. Will you then, dear readers, lay aside your little criticisms expressed without any knowledge of the cause of certain conditions, and do all you can to make our home paper, not the largest, but the best published in the interest of our race. The sentiment expressed in the following famous poem of Rudpard Kipling has been responsible for any success the Forum has had.
