THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 19, No. 44, WHITE AMERICA ADMONISHED TO THINK OF BEST QUALITIES OF THE NEGRO (Pacific Coast News Bureau) (By Geo. Berry) BERKELEY, CALIF. Jan. 21—"Have you ever thought of the good qualities of the Negro?" was the pertinent question asked the assembled Rotarians at the recent meeting of the Berkeley Rotary Club, by their Chairman Charles Keeler, who is also managing director of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce. "In the past we have been capitalizing their worst qualities. Why would it not be better to capitalize their best points?" asked Mr. Kecler. "There is need for a greater understanding between the white and dark races. It is only misunderstanding which causes any feeling other than friendliness. Kipling was wrong when he said 'East is East, and West is West, And never the twain shall meet.' The differences between races are differences of custom only; there is no fundamental differences of heart between the white and colored man." "The advancement of understanding, Good will and international peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the Rotary ideal of service" the sixth object of the Rotary Clubs Mr. Loceler explained and told his audience of Rotarians from San Francisco, Oakland, Portland and other points, and that their object boiled down, meant the "Brotherhood of Man." Negroes Here To Stay. Referring to the idea of some people that the race problem could be battled by having the Negroes in the Urtied States colonize in Liberia, Mr. Keeler said, "There are some eleven or twelve million Negroes in the United States and if they were to leave at the rate a steamer load of 1154 each week, only the increase would be leaving. This shows the impracticability of the plan. They were brought here as slaves and they are here to stay." "Moreover the Negroes are coming from the South to the North" Mr. Teeler continued. "They want more freedom and a better life which they find in the North. So the South is now becoming worried, the attitude of the Southerner is changing and he is treating the Negro better because he does not want to lose the working population of his section." Eulogizes Berkeley Negroes Mr. Keeler gave many interesting facts about the colored people in Berkeley as developed by a Chamber of Commree survey recently made. This showed that there are 700 Neuros in Berkeley and the same number of Japanese, Chinese number 279 and there is a springling of other oriental nationalities. "The Negroes coming to Berkeley are the finest of the Race," declared Mr. Keeler. "They come here because Berkeley is a superior City, one in which they find the most advantages for culture. Sixty-one per cent own their own homes here, and fifty per cent have books and buy good periodicals. They have good homes, good gardens, and are good citizens. Very few Negroes made any trouble. In Berkeley their children receive nine months of schooling as against three in the South. Capitalize best qualities. "It is Berkeley's problem to establish just and satisfactory relations between the white and Negro population. So far, only the covenant plan has been proposed. But this is a selfish and non-constructive policy. Have you ever thought of the good qualities of the Negro? They are genial, good-natured, fond of music, and they make the best and gentlest of nurses. Why would it not be better to capitalize their best points? Take for instance, their natural love for music, and develop it. The right man could form WHITES SHOULD JOIN NEGROES IN PROTEST (From The Columbia, Georgia, Enquirer—Sunday, January 5, 1927) (The Week's Editorial—White Press) At the Annual Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in New York, Sunday, on motion of Louis Marshall a constitutional lawyer, the office of the action were authorized to write to President Coolidge protege against the appointment of Thomas G. McLeod, retiring Governor of South Carolina, as a member of the Federal Trades Commission. According to the Associated Press dispatch containing this information, "The action of the Negroes, taken at their Annual Meeting, was based on Governor McLeod's alleged failure to bring to justice the lynchers of the three." 10th Carolina Negroes. It was charged that Negroes. It was charged that Governor ... ... in public duty." If the allegation against the Governor be true, white people should join the Negroes in making protest against the appointment. We do not know whether the charge is true or not, but it is certain that those who participated in the lynching have not yet beer, apprehended. And the lynching was one of the most notorious lynchings of the year. It has been the subject of more comment than, that of any other lynching during the past year. And yet but for the investigation made by the New York World and the courageous fight of Charlton Wright, editor of the Columbia Record, the matter would have been dropped. Men who fail to discharge fully their public duty should not be permitted to hold office; and the higher the official and the greater the responsibility, the more quickly should action be taken. If it were the rule to oust from office, governor, judges, sheriffs and others of higher commission, who are inefficient or cowardly in the discharge of their duties, there would be a tightening up all along the line down to the lowest in the matter of meeting their responsibilities, but as long as we are complacent in the face of such failures we may expect a continuation of lawlessness. a choral society of Negroes in Berkeley that would be a source of pleasure and benefit to the community. Suggests Disinitive Architecture Under the proper leadership it might be possible to develop a distinctive architecture in the section which they occupy. For instance the architecture of Algiers in which the Negroes love of color was emphasized would be a step in which Berkeley migs . set an example to the world. "We have in Eculeley a cultured Negro lady who is making a se search into Negro lors. There are many college graduates among them here, and the only reason sove o them do not stand out in a cultural way to a greater extent is that no one will give them anything but common labor to do. "In the same way we might capitalize the finer things in Japanese life," Mr. Kotler read a poem in closing which emphasized the essential equality of, and the good that is in all men everywhere.

GIVE ALL RACES EQUAL CHANCE SAY STUDENTS Great National Gathering Sets New Record For Liberal Thought and Attitudes. (Commission on Interracial Co-op.) MILWAUKEE, WIS. Jan. 8—Gathered here in a great national conference, December 23—January 1, twenty-five hundred boys and girls, presenting every state in the Union and hundreds of institutions, gave correct consideration to the question of race relations, and on the final day by almost unanimous vote adapted the following:—"I am willing to give to the members of every race the same opportunities that I have." The opposite view was then submitted—"Regarding some races as inherently inferior to my own, I favor keeping them in their place."—and received only clever votes. On a previous day Dr. Mordecai Jolson, President of Howard Uni- versity, had delivered an address and conducted an open forum on race relations in which the whole confe- rence participated. Dr. Johnson made a very favorable impression, as did also Rev. Howard Thurman, of Oberlin, Ohio, who spoke on another subject. At no previous conference of like character had the delegates gone so far in their thinking about race, or reached conclusions so labor and so nearly unanimous. Among the students were representatives of thirty-odd racial and national groups, including many Negro students. The novels of the city were open to all delegates alike and the relationships between the various groups were unfairly considerate and cordial. Other subjects featured on the program were war and industry, but on these the conclusions reached by the students were not nearly so unanimous. The proposition, "I will not support any war," got 237 votes; "I am ready to support some wars, but not others," received 740; "I will not act in war that is declared by the authority of my country," got 95; While 256 stated that they were not red, to commit themselves. On the question of industry only thirty-eight went on record as favoring the existing capitalist system; 800 expressed the opinion that the current competitive economic order, based on production for profit rather than for use is wrong; 502 thought the present system should be displaced by a cooperative distributive system and a method of production in which the workers themselves share the control; 57 went on record that students should support the efforts of organized labor. nity G., admits the intent of the hive Primer's laws to disfranchise Negroes. The editorial points out the drama of the Democrats "wilferous." In demanding Federal jurisdiction over campaign expenditure in Republican primaries in Northern States, "while demanding that the United States Government keeps its hands of the Texas Democrat's primaries." The only brief of the N. A. C. P. to the brief filed by Attorney General Moody of Texas, is now being measured under the direction of Louis Marshall, member of the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Committee, Arthur H. Srinagar, Chairman of the Committee, and Moorfield Stores, President of the Association. Dickerson News Notes There was an increase of attendance of the P. T.

(Commission on Interracial Co-op.) NASHVILLE, TENN. Jan. 8-Records of increasing interracial good will aid of the steady improvement of conditions featured the annual meeting of the State Interracial Committee held here yesterday. Representative men and women to the number of seventy-five were present from all parts of the State, without a di renting voice expressing gratification with the progress made and planning untimely for the future. Especially striking were the reports of improved school facilities for Negroes, including the building of many new Rosenwald schools, stimulated largely, through the efforts of Robert E. Clay, of Bristol, secretary of the colored division. There was much favorable comment also on the fine cooperative spirit manifested in Nashville, during the recent flood which drove some eight thousand people from their homes, many of them colored. It was brought out that the two groups had worked together in the utmost harmony for relief of the flood sufferers, and that the relief measures, for which $50,000 was contributed by the community, were carried out with scrupulous fairness. Among the recommendations made by the group was one suggesting to the city administration that in rehabilitating the flooded areas steps be taken to improve, radically many of the housing conditions from which the poorer colored families have suffited. The committee pledged itself to work for a school for feeble-minded Negroes, and recommended that local committees throughout the State to provide proper recreational facilities for colored children, since such facilities "serve as a great crime deterrent, as a promoter of good health." All the churches and religious groups were admonished to give more attention to the cultivation of interracial good will as a religious duty. Gratitude was expressed for the support given to the committee's program by the leading newspapers of the State, and particularly for their vigorous editorials against lynching. Will W. Alexander director of the general interracial commission, was present and made a strong appeal for the final eradication of lynching, pointing out the part which the pulpit, the press, and individuals might play in bringing this about. Among the prominent colored leaders present were Bishop I. B. Scott, Prof. W. J. Hale, Dr. J. A. Lester, Dr C. V. Roman, and Mrs. M. L. Cloesthaite, of Nashville, Dr. R. T. Eurt, of Clarksville, Prof. McAllister, of Chattanooga, and R. E. Clay, of Pristol. mind and moral faculties that the inherent powers of the child may come to full expression. So the training of children should prove and teach their character; setady and strengthen their minds and thus prepare them for careers of usefulness. We need men with healthy bodies and strong minds and with hearts that are quick to respond to human duties of life; so the parent and teacher can make impression upon the child that will motivate character and shap his destiny for time and eternity. The home is the foundation of civilization, there, leaves are made and creeds are formed that influence the character of children—the foundation of our national life is under the frightening hand of our parents; the most ausentilis and receptive audiences in the world is the audience that mothers around the fireside in the home as we know that charity begins at home.

Jan. 21-"Faced with the problem of becoming a Wall Street statistician by bringing Wall Street to the country, where I had to work because I was tubercular, I went to a public meeting to hear Booker T. Washington," says Roger W. Babson, famous Bay State statistician, who probably knows more about the stock market, cost of living statistics, and commercial fluctuations than any other man in America. "What he said that night gave me the courage to attempt what seemed the impossible, the continuing of a business which should have been conducted in the financial centre of the United States, and, instead, was conducted outdoors in the Massachusetts hills. Washington's talk that night was largely responsible for the fact that my out-door office prew to be the largest statistical centre in the world." REV. ADDISON CALLED Rev. T. T.

Jesus Praying in a Solitary Place (Mark 1 33). After a series of most strenuous efforts Jesus retired to a lonely place to pray. He who the day before had shown Him mighty power in casting out devils and banishing disease now needed to be alone with God. In order to do this He arose a long time before daylight. The very last time to pray is in the morning when our physical powers have been renewed. If the Son of God needed this time for prayer, this renewal of spiritual strength in communion with the Heavenly Father, how much more should we seek help by retiring to the solitary place. II. Jesus Praying in Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42) In this time of crisis He took with him Peter, James and John 1. The first prayer (vv. 35-38). (1) His posture (v. 35). He fell on his face prostrate on the ground. In the hour of great need we naturally prostrate ourselves before God. (2) His petition (v. 36). "Take away this cup from me." By the cup is meant Ils death on the cross. No doubt it was most grievous for Him to face this shame, but He pressed on knowing that for this cause He had come into the world (John 12:27, 28, cf. Heb 2:14). (3) His resignation (v. 33). Ils will was in subjection to the Father. He knew that Ils death on the cross was the will of God, the Father, for He was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (4) The disciples rebuked (v. 37) He singled out Peter since he had been the most conspicuous in proclaiming his loyalty (John 13:38). (5) Exhortation to the disciples (v. 38) "Watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation." The only way to be able to stand in the time of trial is to be watching and praying. 2. The second prayer (vv. 30, 40). He withdrew the second time from the disciples and uttered the same words in prayer. This was not vain repetition. It is proper to repeat our requests. He found the disciples asleep again. Their shame and confusion were more marked than at first. 3. The third prayer (vv. 41, 42). He uttered the same words in the third prayer (Matt. 26:44). He tells the disciples to sleep on and take their rest as the hour had now come for His betrayal. There is such a thing as being asleep when wanted and awakening when it is too late. If the disciples had been praying they would not have fallen asleep. III. Jesus Giving a Model Prayer III. Jesus Giving a Model Prayer (Matt. 6.9-13). This model was given in response to the disciples' request that the Lord would teach them how to pray (Luke 11:10). It is not therefore the Lord's prayer, but the model prayer for the disciples. It involves: 1. A right relationship (v 9). "Our Father." Only those who become children of God by faith in Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:26) can pray right. One must be a child of God before he can be in communion with God. 2. A right attitude (vv 0.10). "Hallowed be Thy name." When one realizes that he has been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of His Son (Col. 1:13) by being made a child of God, he cannot help pouring out his soul in gratitude and praise, in tense longing for the kingdom the righteous rule of Christ to come on the earth. 3. A right spirit (vv. 11-13). (1) That of trust which looks to God for the supply of daily bread. We are dependent upon illum for our daily food. With all man's boasted progress he cannot make a harvest. The murvals of modern chemistry are insultient for this. (2) That of love which results in forgiveness of others. God will not listen to the prayer of one who has an unforgiving spirit. (3) That of holiness which moves one to pray not to be led into temptation and longs to be delivered from the evil one.

Text: Prov. 4:1-9. The Problems of school life are many and cover a period from the cradle to the grave. The right solution is the pathway to a successful life. Some of the most vital problems are—1. The Teacher; 2. The Paphi; 3. The School. 1. The Teacher—(a) His appearance; (b) His character; (c) His intellectuality; (d) His personality; (e) His spirituality. Problem 2—The Pupil—(a) His birth; (b) His environments; (c) mentality; (d) His opportunity. Problem 3—The School—(a) The curriculum; (b) The aim; (c) The method; (d) The equipment. As the right solution to these, is found, at least, a bit of light is thrown upon all other problems. School opportunities are: the home, church, public school, and society. We are never out of school. Each year well used makes us more efficient and more valuable to God and man. In our lesson, Solomon teaches 1. Give attention (focus the mind on the fundamental principles, the enduring things, things not seen.) 2. To understand (a clear vision of the Divine Mind, the principles as revealed in the Word of God, Nature and Experience.) 3. The matter (Good doctrine.) I is to become a part of our character Solomon's first teacher, and ours, (parents.) Their love for us, their interest in us and their influence upon us. In the fourth verse it is shown that there is life in obedience; that obedience that is not from fear but from love. Our hearts acquiescing in the Divine will as expressed 1. His command. Wisdom is the high point in the following verses. It is a gift of God through our experiences, the right use of knowledge. It is intellect sanctified. Wisdom is to information what the Spirit is to the Word. Both give force and direction. We should love, understand, learn to, and keep in memory life's basic truths, if we would live useful and happy lives. Wisdom gives honor unsought favor unexpected, and a life crowned with a victorious triumph. Thoughts—Teachers and parents should solve together, the problems of the school. The ultimate aim of the teacher and preacher, school and church, should be to produce a Christian citizenship. God in Christ is striving to give to the world a citizenship that can be trusted. When we can produce a corps of teachers who have the spirit and mind of Christ, and a corps of preachers who have the mind and spirit of Chrsit, war between the church and school will cease. Questions—What should be the aim of the school? What should be the aim of the church? Can the church and school co-operate and not federate? What about the schools' Religious Program? What about the Bible in the public schools? What about the churches' educational program? What have the two institutions in common in their endeavors? Surely we need an education this is Christian. That type of learning which teaches that the best and most useful life here is but an earnest of the abundant life that is to follow. It is this type of life Christ came to bring. The church to be sure, is founded upon, in, and by Christ and the school should be builted around Christ. The only perfect teacher is The Man of Galilee. St. Mary Bapt. Church Rev. J. E.

(From the Nation, New York City) Lynchings for 1926 almost doubled those of 1925—34 and 18 are the offical figures given out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Association traces this disheartening increase in mob violence to the defeat of the federal anti-lynching bill until punishment for lynching is taken out of the hands of irresponsible local authorities we seem deemed to suffer the humiliation of being the only country in the world in which the account of a mob murder is hardly news. At the same time there are bright spots in the process of adjusting race differences; for example, there were 33 cases last year of officers of the law who prevented lynching and 29 of them were in the South. These instances further discredit the myth of the sheriff who is "overpowered" by the mob. Again in Natitoches, Louisiana, even white public sentiment is being aroused against a statue which was recently erected to "do honor" to the Negro; it is inscribed. "The Good Darkey of Louisiana." Erected by the City of Natitoches, in grateful recognition of the arduous and faithful service of the good marker of Louisiana." The figure is of a typical "Uncle Tom," the bent, shuffling, subservient of Negro who was dear to the heart of the old South. South and North, a change is coming—a southern white lady was recently fined $50 in a Chicago court for calling a Pullman Porter a "Nigger."
