GREATER EFFORT IN 1928
Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
The year 1928 is here. It must be a year of triumph, and so I call upon Negroes everywhere to pledge themselves anew that we shall be emancipated industrially, commercially, socially, educationally, religiously, and that we shall make one effort to free Africa politically and plant upon her loftiest hill-top the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, the emblem of Negro liberty. Yes, for this flag we shall live, for this flag we shall die as the Frenchmen dies for the tri-color of France, die as Englishmen will for the Union Jack of Great Britain, die as the American does for the Stars and Stripes. Surely we shall not be less than men when the hour comes for us to march out and, if need be, die for the redemption of our motherland.
This is the time when men and nations make resolutions. Englishmen make new resolutions in the interest of their country; so do Frenchmen, Germans, Italians and white Americans, so likewise four hundred million Negroes the world over shall, in this new year, make new resolutions that we shall not play a second part in this world, but that we shall unitedly march onward and upward until we meet the Creator, whether it be in the judgment, in His eternity, or now, the equal of all men with whom He created us, and of whom He said we were all brothers, and He but the common Father.
Negroes, I trust that you have cast away with the old year your doubts, your unbeliefs. Those of you who have always thought it impossible that Negroes can get together, those of you who have always thought it impossible that Negroes can accomplish anything, I trust you have buried such old beliefs in the oblivion of the past, that they have gone away from you with the old year, and now that 1928 is here, I hope you have new confidence in self, in your race, and with this new confidence you will march on and on and on until we accomplish the great work we have planned.
I am making an earnest appeal to you of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere to buckle on your armor for more work, harder work, more determined work in this new year of 1928. It is a year of work, work, work. There must be no shirking, no falling back. You must work and go forward. Tell me that it cannot be done and I say, die, useless incompetent man. We must realize that we have not a minute to spare. Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month in 1928 must be given ever to the great cause of Negro freedom everywhere and of African political independence. If at any time you feel doubtful of yourself just remember the oath you took in this new year that you will with one determination go forward to the end. Turn not back, look not back, look forward always, retrace not the step you have made. We must march on from one degree of accomplishment to the other. In the last few years we have accomplished much. If we were to look back on what has happened to us in the last eight years we will see that we have grown from thirteen visiopary members to a great movement, into a mighty multitude of six millions.
The six millions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association look forward with great hope to the future, and we pledge ourselves that in the year 1928 we shall bring into the fold at least twenty-five million more men, women and children to help us in this universal campaign for a free and independent Africa and an emancipated race.

called “mandated territories” ‘and the

tnto three clases, those prectioally

NEGRO WORLD EXPANSION FUND
WHAT WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH
If the reader-will look at the head of this page he will see that the date of this issue is December 31. If he is the sort of person that keeps files of his favorite newspaper he will observe upon referring back to it that our first issue for this year was dated January 1. This is, of course, purely accidental, but we like to think that it has some sort of significance. It is symbolic of the fact that THE NEGRO WORLD is on the job from first to last and all the time in between.
As "a newspaper devoted solely to the interests of the Negro race," we hope to accomplish much this coming year of 1928. In a spiritual way we hope to continue the almost superhuman task of arousing the Negro to a sense of his true racial value. We hope to continue educating the masses of our people toward thinking in terms of nationhood and self-government. We hope to so keep before him his true position in modern world affairs as to inspire him with the determination to change that position for the better.
In a material way, we hope soon to put the paper back in size to where it was before circumstances forced us to reduce it. There has been much that we wanted to say during these past few months that we could not say because of lack of space in which to say it. And there have been excellent contributions from the pens of various serious-minded men and women of the race that we could not reproduce in our pages for the same reason. Even in the matter of the exchange of views between Negroes in different parts of the world, as represensited in the "News and Views of the U. N. I. A. Divisions," we have been handicapped in that we had not the usual number of pages in which to afford them expression. All that we hope to remedy. And for the early accomplishment of these objectives we continue earnestly to solicit your support. Fill out the coupon below and send to us with whatever you are able to give. Wishing you the best of health and success in the New Year and pledging ourselves to the furtherance of the work, we are. Respectfully yours.
We must present it to you and teach it. We must tell you the devil we must present out to you the false and the misleading the old type of Negro leader in order that you may break away from the ranks of those who are still following him and fall in line with the progressive type of Negro.
Solving the Problem
We have today a large number of people who are still trying to solve the raca problem like they tried to solve sixty old years ago. They are trying to solve it just by going to church on Sunday. Some people may wonder why we refer to the churches so often. Well, the Negro 'leaders' have been churchmen. That is the only kind of leader we know anything about, the only kind of a leader that has led the battle and that has won it if the have any mistakes made, if there are any shortcomings, why, they are the ones responsible for it, because they are the ones that have been doing all the leading. So, we are just going to how to the line and let, the chips fall on them. That is all.
There are vast sums of money spent under the pretence of leadership. I notice one organization close by spent something like nearly four hundred thousand dollars on a church, and I am wondering how much benefit will accrue to the race as a result of that spending, something that is going to lift the race up out of this depressed condition in which it finds itself tonight.

E. E..MAIR, Business' Manager
MARCIR GARVEY, Managing Editor
to apply it.
"Now, a Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not adjusted by any such false teaching and false doctrine as that. The Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association looks at the race problem in the light in which Marcello Garway has set it, but before the whole world. The Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association looks at the race problem from a racial point of view, while the Negro on the outside tries to look at it in some high falutin' way that the white man has pointed out to him.
"Too Ashamed to Confess"
Negroes do not like to go tell you that they have, been victims of white people's propaganda. Some Negroes are so conceited and their minds are twisted that they are embarrassed and ashamed to let the world know they are really wrapped up in a racial movement. Many of these Negroes, some of them that you see running around here, have been following, other ideas and customs so long that they are kind of ashamed—they know they are going wrong, but they are a little ashamed to admit it; they are afraid somebody laugh at them; that fellow is afraid to lose some of his popularity; he is afraid he will lose his political job. But I am not that that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to make jobs for Negroes politically to such an extent that where you have bine now you will have ten after a while. I mean you are going to become a respected and respectable race, and wherever you reside you are going to get all that is coming to you when this organization blossoms forth.
"Some people say, I wonder what it is about the Garvey movement that caused it to attract the attention of the world. What is it about the Garvey movement that in spite of all the persecution and denunciation by people in the so-called higher circles, makes it still the most popular Negro movement in the world. You know what it is—it is nothing but righteousness and justice. It is the only organization that is attacking the race problem from a just and right point of view, and when you are right you know you change everything that comes before you; when you are right you break down all obstacles; when you are right you overcome everybody that tries to impede your progress; when you are right the world respects you, and the world tonight is paying two respects to the Hon. Marcus Garvey and this mighty movement, despite the fact that some Negroes who pretend to be intelligent, have not yet linked up."
his own special exam reading the same of the times, bespelling from every day experience, and the other type is better prepared than the other, propagating of the white man. He long will it test, do you think? Right years have proven to me that this old type of leadership is fast preceding. Right years of experience, slight awareness of faithful study of the platform and program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have shown to every fair minded person that it is high time that every Negro that thinks anything, of himself and his race to fail in line behind this might movement. I would not do anything that I could not reconnect, with my better judgment. I mean, fundamentally. I would not follow a道理. I knew that it was not intended to do the things that it proposes, and many of the movements in existence tonight pretend to be attacking the race problem when, as a matter of fact, the greatest problem, is to solve, somebody's individual problem. What I mean is that this: If you look into it closely you will find that most of the people who are leading various organizations are in a business, the business of taking care or self, all their professions to be engaged in solving the race problem, notwithstanding. The intelligent Negro has pretty well set back the Negro who suffers all over the world. This so-called intelligent Negro, this old type of Negro, him minded has somewhat become saturated with the belief that he is inferior to everybody else. And this old type of leader will have to be relegated to the background, just as he is being now relegated. He will have to be stamped out, and the best way to stamp him out is to do so anyone said in a paper this week. He said the way to make the preacher fall in line with the racial movement is for the people to stop patronizing the collection plate and stop becoming cultual when the chores begin to sing. He said if the people would carry that out, the preachers would come to their senses.
Religion for the Masses
"No. I am not opposed to religion. I am not opposed to the churches when they function as they ought. I am not opposed to the preacher as such. I believe there are some of them who are confidentous and trying to do real and lasting good, but the vast majority of preachers in the Negro race are illiterate and careless of the destiny of the rage and are only concerned with collected money from the people. This is a sad statement to be compelled to make, but it is the truth. And if you cut out the funds, then he cuts out the preaching. There are lots of politicians who are supposed to be the leaders of the race, but out for the interests of the race politically; that are just looking out, in the true sense, for the leaves and the flames that they get in the form of graft from the white politicians higher up for the race, that the Hon. Marcus Garvey has pointed out all these defects for eight years, and he has so revolutionized the thought in the Negro race
that the old type of Negro leader is
golden less and less comfort, and the
masses of Negro people are becoming
more and more aggressive as a part of
human society.
What is that makes us come to Liberty Hall night after night and be given a gift by get-well. What is that gift that we give to Liberty Hall night after night, to be interested in the welfare of the Hon. Marius Garvey? What is it that he has brought into existence in the mind of the Negro that is welding Negroes together all over the world? It is nothing, but that instinctive desire of love and fellowship that was planted in the Negro people just like it was planted in any other race, but which had lain dormant for centuries. But the Hon. Marius Garvey awakened it and is causing the Negro all over the world to feel that brotherly care, to feel that sense of fellowship that is already rife in all other people of the world; and that sense of fellowship is steering the Negro, is making him feel that he owes a duty to the world; and that sense of fellowship and is arousing him to a true sense of his responsibilities as a member of his race and as a brother of his fellowmen. It was intended by nature that people should be that way. It was intended by nature that you and I should work just as harmoniously together as any other race or people, or, if you will pardon me, even as the bests of the field.
Worshipping False God
The Negro in his church, his church program, his church tenets, his church doctrine, had been tampered with so much that, it seems to me, oftimes in serving your God, you are serving the white man more than you are serving your God. You, do not know it, however. You go to church and you sing and pray and get happy, but when you come back the next morning, to your home and proceed about your work, in the final analysis, all you find out is you are serving the white man instead of serving God. And the same thing applies to your lodges: it applies to most of your Negro organizations. If these things had been pointed out to the Negro earlier, if they were about 20 or 40 years before this important type of leadership had taken hold of the Negro, the whole Negro race would be much better off tonight. But the ignorant type of leader led us no long, that we became fearful and impatient of the very thing that meant life to us.
Result of False Teaching
For instance, when this program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was first presented to the Negro peoples of the world, the Negro people rebelled against it. They thought Africa was really a dark continent. They thought the Negro people of the world were too incompetent to do for themselves what the other people of the world were doing for themselves. They thought the Negro people of the world were not worthy of such an honorable thing as a government of their own in Africa—a united Africa. That is what they though when the Hon. Marcus Garvey first presented this program to them. That was plainly and simply the result of 50-old years of false teaching. That was plainly and simply the result of a false religion.
God Is Not as Ho Is Painted
And religion, you know, is a mighty dangerous thing. It is a mighty good thing, but it can be a very dangerous thing. There is nothing in all this world that holds a people so strongly and always them so definitely one way or the other as religion. And if you get hold of a religion and get it going wrong you are going to ruin everybody that comes into contact with you. (Heart! Heart!) And a lot of our folk know it, too. They know they have a decided advantage, and that is why the average preacher is so bold. They have heard that, when you appeal to a people's religious sentiment you can do more with them than anybody else. And right here in this country we have got some people going around exploiting the people in the divisions, even preaching against the Hon. Marcus Garvey, by simply pandering to and exploiting the religious fervor of the people. But the Universal Negro Improvement, Association has given out a proper conception of religion, and, thank God, the Negro is realizing that God is not what some of us have been saying Ho was. They are realizing now that hell and heaven are not, quite the places they have been painted for them. They are realizing that these leaders that appealed to their religious continent were doing it for something else far removed from the glorification of God, far removed from promoting the race welfare. The Hon. Marcus Garvey taught the people that.
Why So-Called Leaders Hesitate
"How long do you think we would have such a thing as a race problem if every Negro lined up behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association? The very moment that was done would mean the end of the vexed problem (Applaise). The very moment the aims and aspirations of the Universal Negro Improvement Association take firm root in the hearts and minds of men the world over, the troubles of the race in the sense in which we speak are ended. Every reasonably-minded person knows that to be a fact. The thinkers in the white race, the thinkers in the yellow race, the thinkers in all races. know
Women, Weak, Tired,
Rumdown, and Nervous
that if Negroes are as white as they are by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, that spells the solution of the race problem. And if this is known, why is it that these educated Negroes, those would-be leaders of men, do not come into the organization? No. They think it will mean a shortening of their funds for a little while. But they are very foolish.
Machinery and Pressurity
Magninery and Prosperity
The people did not want magninery in the world. The average worker said: "we don't want work done by machinery, because it will cause hand laborers to be out of work, but we find that the age of the machine has brought more comfort and happiness and more jobs to the millions. The same thing would happen in the case of these brothers of ours. If they would think along the right lines. Cohesion within the race would make the race stronger and powerful, and the race would be able to wield a greater influence politically, religious, and in every way. Then we would have real politicians. We would not have politicians-slinking into the back doors of buildings, you would not have the people being objects of charity, you would not have ministers afraid or disinform to appear before men and women of race and tell them the truth, but you would have face with so much influence and power that could act just as freely, be just as independent in all of their activities as the American white man, or the English white-man, or any other man.

helped; and in plain, commonplace language told them the plain truth. The people who have to get out and bear the burden and the heat of the day—those are the people that are suffering most from the oppression of the white man, and those are the people that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had in mind when he said that certain types of leaders were as a millstone around the race's neck. He meant that you had a type of leader leading you this would be just as successful in their leading as a man leading an army as a millstone around his neck. They have been leading you upward, and you have been going downward. And I feel we have gone a long way in setting the Negro right on the religious question. We have gone a long way in setting the Negro right as to the opinion hold of him and the destiny that would be carved.
out for him by the white man. There are some men of the Southlands that declare they would rather live there in spite of lynching, in spite of hell, than anywhere else in the world. They would rather live in America or under the British flag than under a flag of their own. There are some Negroes so devoid of race pride and race consciousness that they have more respect for any other race than the Negro race. But, I reloiced that the Hom. Negroes Garvey has burrowed into the hearts of black men and made them glorify black. (Applause.)
The Other Fellow Knows
The other fellow knows that if the Negro feels his mind on nationhood, then nationhood will come to pase. He knows that, if the Negro brings to his task one-half of the ability he brings to the task of serving the white man.

ROYAL WELCOME FOR MR. GARVEY IN THE_
WEST INDIES = .
KY 7 Rare sure the readers of The Negro World andthe mem-
W sbets generally. uf” Ure Universal Negro Improvement
NN OASsociation, have read with absorbing interest and par-
donable pride-of the royal welcome which President-General Marcus
* Garvey rectived at every point in the West ‘Indies Which he touctedt
on.the way, from New Orleans, in ‘spite of the chiirlish attitude of
the American authorities at the Panama Canal, and: especially at
Kingston. The people gave him moré than’ an ovation, and the
British authorities gt-Hingster-rendered-a splendid part in shaping
the tremendous receptivi si as to cause the least ‘frigtion and to’
insure the-greatest Success ; i:
Mr. Garvests first address at Kingston, as reproducéd in ‘The:
Negrv. World of December 21, was a miasterpiées of oratory, dis-
_ covering the infinite sympathy: which the speaker, feels in. the.mis-
fortunes of the Negro péople everywhere, with astasterful determina
tion todo what he canto better those’ misfort esr. Garvey,
spoke as a Jrithh subject, bound to ehey its laws, But he was un?
afraid and would sand for the’rights uf. the: Negro’ as best he could.
He enunciated a great principle, applicable wherever the Negty’
“finds himsel’ subject to the rule of others. when -he said: “Chere iS

FLORIDA; CUBA
The Florida division had one of its biggest mass meetings on Christmas Sunday. The building was rented to standing correctly in the middle basement. The evening was quiet and the cold north winds refused to blow its regular bitter chill. Early Christmas morning was observed by divine services conducted by Mr. J. Ewen, when a fair gathering resisted the temptation of lying in bed, and fought the cold morning air so as to attend this first serve in the celebration of the day.
At three o'clock the division entertained a bigger audience at their Christmas Carol function. Mr. R. A. Martin, was chairman, and the lady president of the division presided at the organ. The chairman in a short but brilliant speech, briefly narrated the incidents connected with the life of Christ, and then the choir opened the program with a song entitled, "Gladly the Trumpet Sounds" after which Master Debut Thompson responded with a peroration, "Christmas in the Air." Both pieces won the applause of the audience, and Mistress W. Chambers followed with an appropriate reading of an editorial in the Negro World. Other numbers rendered weeps the recitations of Master Kennedy Waters and Misses M. W. Wilson, Esmeralde Sterling, M. Thomas, Abina McKenzie, Albertha Powell, Hazel McLean, Anna Rosa, Wilson and Violet Reik.
At the close of this service all seemed to be refreshed with the spirit of Garveyism and returned to a great number in the mass meeting, where several speakers addressed the congregation on matters that tend to enhance the interest of the Negro everywhere. The duet of M. McCarthy, Gordon and W. Reid was well rendered, also the recitation of Seydra Thompson, Thomas Campbell and the Miss Peters, Mrs. F. Hutchinson and Mr. R. Constable gave a sing and a solo respectively.
The children of the Liberty Hall school had a breaking-up concert on the night of December 23. "Though quite a few guardians attended the entertainment yet the little ones were not the least affected, and gave ample satisfaction to those present. Those were thrills of interest and warm enthusiasm from start to finish recognized by the several appeals for encore." Their favorite poems were "Where Does the Money Go?" a poem by the teacher, "Encouraging a Scholar" and "Christmas Prayer in Scotland," plays written and arranged respectively by the same gentleman.
The division thinks that every help should be given these little folks as the mark of scholarship is on them. CON ADJ. HOWLTT, Reporter.

Candy and fruit were distributed among the children for their perfect attendance, kindly and service to the Division. We have some very loyal children in the Division. They attend every meeting. They are there when the older ones are at home or elsewhere.
"When our property was threatened to be sold or taken away from us by our enemies, the children came out to every mass and business meeting to encourage the President and other faithful members. This we appreciate, and we are very proud of them, because they are the Columbus Division of tomorrow. Many members were afraid Mr. Garvey would never be paraded and gave up hope. Now they return like stray sheep. We that have been faithful and tried to carry on the work until now, doing the best that he could keep our Division together will be rewarded for brave and faithful soldiers. We have had many haphail-captures to make this division a success. After the singing of "God Bless Our President" the meeting was brought to a clergy by the President, Fred E. Johnson, with the singing of the National Anthem. Mire, Fred E. Johnson, Reporter."
