THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 23, No. 23, DR: JORDANS ERROR: Some men make mistakes honestly but when a man is cautioned against it and he stalthily perist in his way there is no excuse for such error. For some time Dr. L. G. Jordan has been attempting to bring out a history of the Baptists and at last he has done so but is the work of a historic cobbler. He refused light and made a mess to begin with. His previous records and literature that he had bee sending out as fore-runners convinced me that he had started on the wrong road and I sought to set him right. He would not hear and hence I challenged his historic claims at Fort Worth, Cincinnati and Tampa. At Tampa a Committee to pass on his manuscript was appointed and I was told to appear before the Committee and make my protest and that all my protestants would be informed when the Committee meeting would be held and allowed to enter their protest. This was not done. I wrote Dr. J. T. Brown, Chairman and ask him to let me know when the Committee would meet and I have his reply that he would do so. I was never notified and I do not believe the Committee ever functioned at all. My first knowledge of the history being published was when I saw it at our Chicago Jubilee. The error was the first thing I saw and I ask Dr. J. T. Brown why he did not call me before the Committee and he said that Dr. Jordan told him he had seen me and made it alright and that I was satisfied with his manuscript. Now, how could I be when I had never seen it? If Dr. Brown tells the truth, what could Dr. Jordan's Motive be in telling an untruth? If his so called facts, were facts, then why slip them into print by such methods? Either he or Brown has mistreated the truth and it is up to them to settle that. But the disputed question at issue is this: "Which is the oldest church in North America? The first River, in Beach Island South Carolina? Dr. Jordan's history says the Silver Bluff church is the oldest and yet in 1916 he went to Savannah and erected a monument on the site of that old church, which monument proclaims the Savannah Church to be the first Negro church organized in North America. Another error he makes is, that the Savannah Church was first organized in 1788. if this was time(but it is not) then, he declares the pririty of the Savannah Church again. There is no record anywhere so far as I have been able to discover to show that the Savannah church was not first organized in 1788. 1888 the Baptist of Georgia held a Centennial celebration in Savannah and there was present a member of the First African Baptist Church, Mrs. Mary Jackson by name, who was 117 years old and who had been baptised by Rev. Andrew Bryan and there were two or three more present who knew Andrew Bryan. They all corroborated the facts as they have appeared in the records. At this Centennial the Silver Bluff claim bobbed up for the first time but was easily set aside as having no merit since there were those living who had received the historic facts handed down by those who had paricipated in the respective organization. The facts are, Silver Bluff first entered into controversy with the Springfield Baptist Church, Augusta, organized in 1790. The truth is, they got their thought and pattern of organization from Springfield. It was said that they got their let-returned to the plantations after the Revolutionary war and formed their organization. It is a fact that there was no independert Baptist church in Beach Island until after this war closed. The rich landlords in Beach Island lived in Augusta and had overseers in charge of their plantations which were well-stocked with slaves. When the British army threatened Savannah, these landlords knew their next move would be on Augusts Y. M. C. A. NOTES The High School and College Boys' Clubs will get under way next week. The following are the dates: Ninth grade boys: Monday evening September 15th 7 to 8 p.m. Sophomore boys Monday, September 15th 8 to 9 p.m. Senior and Junior boys Tuesday 8 to 9 p.m. College boys, Wednesday, September 17th 8 to 9 p.m. The Live-Wire Club is also asked to meet Thursday evening 8 to 9 p.m. The Grade school clubs will begin the 1st week in October.

Church at 4 p. m. and an interesting program is promised. from the plantations and kept them in and around Augusta where they could easily refuge them to some secluded place to keep the British from taking them away and liberating them. While in Augusta the prayer meetings which finally terminated in organizing Springfield began and ran for some time before the church was finally organiezd the Island but those who were on tlp Springfield organizatlin that did return got their letters and went back to the Island. It was then they found themselves in position to organise a church. They had learned while in Augusta that the slaves were permitted, at least, in Augusta, to have their own church and they had also secured permission from their owners which was after the owners not so hard to get had experimented with the Springfield church. It stands to reason that at a time when the thought and sentiment of the slave owners were that the slaves were incompetent of running the first experiment with a Negro church should have its test and trial in the Country district rather than in the City, where they could keep better and more easily posted on their conduct. This is certainly true of Georgia for of the twelve or fifteen churches organized in the state before freedom not one was a rural church. The nearest approach to one was the Ogeechee church just out of the carparated limits of Savannah. This church was organized in 1803 but was so near the city that the community was so densely populated until it amounted to a city church after all Dr. Jordan slips up again when he affirms that the Rev. George Iole was the first pastor of the Savannah church and also the Silver Bluff church. There is nothing to show in the written records nor has any thing been handed down to show that he ever pastored a church on the continert. Neither is there anything to show that he ever preached at Silver Bluff or knew any thing about it in his days. There was no church in Savannah when he baptised Andrew Bryan. He was an evangelist and his activities were confined to the plantations in Buil, Scriven, Effingham and Chatham Conunties. His superior piety made him the first that the masters could trust to teach and religiously advise their slaves. At first his efforts were confined to his own master's plantation and gradually extended into other plantations in the counties named. But there were no meetings houses for slaves and he preached under trees in the open groves, barns and vacant cabins. He frequently preached from his master's porch. It was several years before he got to Savannah. I have penned these lines to set the records straight in the minds of all fair and impartial readers. There is nothing between me and Dr. Jordan. He is a fine man as long as he is confined to his natural elements, but he is out of his place and on foreign soil when he attempts to deal with history. I have not as yet had the time to evamine the work thoroughly, but I hope the remainder is more correct than the part in question. I am bringing out will set the record straighe and correct this tremendous error. a Georgia Baptist History which D. D. Crawford, Executive Secretary. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 12, 1930 ACTION DE- MANED BY IN- DIANA NEGROES IN LYNCHING CASES NEW YORK, August 29. -- Firm demand that Governor Harry G. Leslie and Attorney General James M. Ogden of Indiana take action to apprehend and punish the lynchers who on August 7, murdered Thomas Shipp and Abraham Smith, was made by a delegation representing the Marion and Indiana branches of the N. A. A. C. P. The delegation was headed by Mrs. W. T. Bailey president the petition, citing the fact that Sheriff Jacob Campell and other officers were notified three and a half or four hours prior to the lynchings that a mob was being formed, and that the sheriff did nothing either to protect his prisoners or to remove them to a place of safe-keeping. Besides the charges of inaction, the petition urged the governor "to use every bit of the power and authority he has to cause every person in the state of Indiana and the United States of America, to know that lynching and making attacks upon the State such as the mob did when it attacked the fail at Grant County, Indiana, and the failure of public officials to do their duty will not be condoned in the State of Indiana and that speedy justice in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana will be meted out to them." The petition also urged the governor to assure protection to the citizens afraid to testify against the lynchers and also to urge the Prosecutor and the power and authority they possess to bring the lynchers to justice. The petitioners also demanded of the governor that he request the resignation of Sheriff Campbell for his failure to do his duty in repelling the lynchers. Other members of the delegation included R. L. Bailey and G. N. T. Gray, president and secretary of the Indianapolis branch; R. L. Brokenburr and Marcus S. Stewart of Indianapolis; Dr. W. T. Bailey and Rev. C. S. Brown of Marion. GOVERNOR ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF NAMES Another late development has been acknowledgment by governor Leslie through his secretary, of the receipt from Welter White, Acting Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., of the names of nineteen members of the mob with evidence against these alleged lynchers. The activity of the N. A. A. C. P., in the Marion lynchings has caused wide discussion in Indiana. The Indianapolis "Times" of August 21 ed.corially declares, in part: "It is unfortunate that the demand for action against the lynchers at Marion was made by a delegation of Negro citizens. "There should have been a procession of delegations of white citizens there ahead of them making the same demands, and asking the Governor to make at least a gesture of protection for any citizen who supplanted private vengeance for law. "Hesitation on the part of public officials, either those at Marion or at the statehouse, is not creditable fear of mobs or a sympathy with to the state. It suggests either the lynchers."

Not long ago an ultra-conservative Negro of prominence expressed the view that Northern Negroes were altogether too radical and might thereby get the group into more trouble than it is in already. Now comes the news that so-called "radical" Negroes in Gary, Ind, and in Mount Vernon, N. Y., have respectively defeated efforts to segregate them in parks and discriminate against them in theatres. Had there not been a handful of militant "radical Negroes in these two towns another burden would have been added to those already borne by us. The truth of the matter is that Northern Negroes are not half as militant as they should be. There are numerous towns in the north where it is almost impossible to get a leading Negro professional or business man to make a test case against widespread segregation and discrimination in places of refreshment. They all secure they "don't ment. They all declare they don't want to stir up any trouble" as if being segregated and discriminated against were not "trouble." The tendency seems to be for Negroes in each town to tacitly agree to avoid those places where "we're not wanted." then boast about the "freedom" they enjoy to visitors who are not on to the ropes and express deep sympathy for the poor, downtrodden Negro below the Mason-Dixon line. This tendency is apparent even in state where Negroes have the advantage of a civil rights law. As a group we are far too complacent and easy going. If we intend to stay away from all places where we are not wanted then verily we shall have to look for an abode on Mars, the Moon, Jupiter or the planet, Pluto. There could be no more dangerous social tactic than this constant retreating before the forces of racial proscription. We must learn to stand and fight hard to retain every position. We must take the offensive, for after all that is the best defense. A whole lot more respect and consideration will be accorded the Negro in this country when he is willing to risk something for his rights and stops criticizing those of his group who have backbone instead of wishbone. deacons. 8.05 Scripture reading by Pastor Thomas from 1941 Psalms.

Trumbull of Connecticut has held in abeyance the return of Johnny Williams, charged with the murder of a white girl in 1923 at Abbeville, Alabama when it was disclosed at a hearing at the Connecticut State Capitol on August 12th that Williams had not yet been indicted by a grand jury and on the ground that the charges were not properly attached to the warrant. The fight to prevent return of Williams to Alabama where it is feared he will be lynched and where, it is felt certain, he cannot possibly receive an impartial trial has been led by the Hartford branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Attorneys Benedict M. Holden and Howard P. Drew were retained in Williams' behalf. Attorney Holden expressed a willingness to sign an agreement to hold Williams in the Hartford county jail under bond of $10,000 pending further developments in the matter of rendition proceedings. The case of Williams has aroused intense interest in Hartford. The Governor's office was crowded during the hearing, most of the spectators being colored persons interested in the case.

He was talking to a man of sixty years and of nearly forty years of service in public life. Listening, the older man slowly shook his head and smiled. Perhaps he remembered when he held similar views and uttered such intemperat, boastful words. After waiting a while for an expression which he thought ought to be complimentary, the younger man ask, "Well, what do you say about it? Aint I right?" Still smiling, and perhaps retrospecting, the older man spoke calmy, "Well, good generals know how to retreat as well as to advance; retreating is an im- (Continued On Page 4) time to time I have been in groups here, where the work of the Y.

"When Negroes of education and economic standing cross my path," Mrs. Wembridge finds, "they act like anyone else and their minds and feelings are indistinguishable from those of other races. It is the poor, uneducated and friendless Negro of whom Mrs. Wembridge writes and her observations of some 2,000 Negroes brought before her from the basis for her article. These experiences have resulted in changing mahy of the ideas about the Negro which Mrs. Wembridge had. One of these preconceived ideas was of the servility of Negroes. Mrs. Wembridge writes, "I have never seen people less so. I had further been told that their good manners, when they had them, were the result of their training as waiter, pull man porters, housemaids and bell-hops but in all my court experience I have met but one defendant who was a waiter and but one who was even related to a pullman porter. They are field hands, deck-hands ditch-diggers, stokers and scrub-woman lately, migrated northward. They have been trained by nobody. And most of them are unacquainted with the ways of elegance, even through the movies. Despite all this they carry themselves with a poise which even a court summons fails to shake. They do not meech, or squirm, or whimper, or giggle, or rant, or apologize. If the Prince of Wales were arrested incognito, and found himself in bonsd, he could hardly improve upon their manners. Electric Massaging given with each Treatment. MARCEL, ROUND CURL, BOB CURL 25c. For Night ot Sunday appointment Mrs. Wembridge comments interestingly upon the close family ties of the Negro, notih especially the influence of gradmothers and even great-grandmothers upon the youngest generation and of the generations in between. She finds that Negroes, while addicted to fighting and various other practices which bring them into courts of law, always have a courtesy towards each other and a personal dignity which to her are most striking. FOR The Negro Star $1.50 a Year Mrs. Wembridge, however, sharply takes Negroes to task and especially Negro churches, lodges and clubs; lawyers, ministers and business men for not taking a deeper and more practical interest in the class of Negroes who are most frequently hailed into court. Mrs. Wembridge made the same criticism in addressing the 1929 Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. in Cleveland. "I stand second to none in my admiration for the magnificence of Negro art. But with the suitable deference with the less endowed, I would suggest that there are times when a more appropriate refrain than the majestic Hallelujah could be the less poetic but more practical, Get-together, and Ket Busy.

How much they need to know the truth of Illim, who can make them free. Then being no undertakers or any way of taking care of a body; if one dies in the monring they must be buried in the afternoon. Miss Griffin writes that the backwardness and slowness in bringing about civilization to the people is due to the fact that different tribes living within less than one half mile of each other and do not speak the same language. The government is trying hard to made it possible for all natives to learn to speak English. There are many government schools, but the teachers are not olways competent and that retards the progress; yet Miss Griffin feeels hopeful, that it is a beginning.
