The Topeka Plaindealer Illustrical Society State House TWENTY-THIRD YEAR The Making Is The Negro The Church and TWENTY-THIRD YEAR Number 12 The Making of a People Is The Negro an Exception? The Church and The Community. By Dennis S. Thompson There are many religious denominations of this late day that yet cling to narrow views, because of their narrow interpretation of the Scriptures. Too often is this true of members of our group, who from observation are, apparently, well versed in the Scriptures, but whose lives do not reflect any great degree of divine knowledge. Denominationalism has been a great disadvantage to us, yet there is scarcely one person in fifty, that can actually tell why they are affiliated with the church of their choice. To this end we lose a great deal of time and strength; many of us will go ten blocks to a Baptist church when there is a Methodist church across the street. And why should we? Just because our great-grandmothers were strict adherents to denominationalism There are very few of us who can tell who was the pioneer among Baptist, or why Richard Allen conceived the idea of the African Methodist Episcopal church. Our people have about one hundred million dollars invested in church property, but it has always been a question as to whether our churches with that amount of capital invested are accomplishing the good that we hope for. In the rural community we have the same 'knot over our eyes with which our urban biethren are affected; denominationalism and too many little churches, and the teaching and promotion of a party spirit or policy, instead of teaching the people the principles of Christian living. Above all else, the church should be an example in the community; there are many churches that are living monuments in their respective communities, but in too many instances we find that our church organizations are content to get along with a preacher (?) which has only a vague conception of Scripture interpretation and church officers who, if they know the real teachings of the Scriptures, are afraid to declare themselves because they are afraid they might accidently hurt the feelings of some sinner. In such cases which are frequent, the church loses its identity as an agency for uplift and ceases, to be an example in the community. The church should be the center from which all the activities of the community ought to radiate; but in so many instances, it is the seat of unrest. At the present we have a large number of people who just want to be leaders, more especially do we meet with this element in the churches. They will have their following HOWARD UNIVERSITY RECEIVES GREATLY INCREASED AP- PROPRIATIONS Washington, D. C., March 22. —Howard University, after receiving last year (1920-21) an increase in Congressional appropriation nearly as large as the whole amount received for all purposes the year 1919-1920 and for several years previously, has this year (1921-22) received at the hands of the Congress, which has just adjourned a total appropriation of $280,000 an increase over the appropriation of $243,000 for the year 1920-21 of $37,000. Of this appropriation of $280,000 for the year 1921-22, $116,600 will go toward additions to the Home Economics building for which $85,000 was appropriated last year, thereby providing for the University a Home Economics building to include Dining Halls and kitchens to accommodate $25 students, to cost $201,000. This was photograph week for the Institute. Pictures were made of the entire school body and of the different clubs and organizations and the Literary societies. Mr. J. Morton-Finney, department of Languages gave a very interesting chapel talk on Wednesday, March 16. His subject was "Roman Character in Poetry." The Mandolin Club is doing fine work under the direction of Prof. Jaffran. It made its second appearance in chapel on Wednesday, March 16th. Some very fine selections LINCOLN INSTITUTE Number 12 g of a People o an Exception? d The Community. at any cost, some times it will mean the wrecking of homes, in other instances is causes the disruption of the church organization This is often true, where a church has been unfortunate in having administer, who after years of apparently faithful duty betrays his trust, and brings himself and the church disrepute through dishonesty, or immoral practices A great many times such ministers have a large following, and usually when leaving will cause a division in the church, and go out and organize another church, and have the support of some of the leading citizens of the community. This is a gross mistake on the part of many of our group; if we know of a person who has spent the best of their lives as leaders, and the public has knowledge of their continued wrong-doing, then it is up to the public to condemn, and not to recommend that person. The church cannot be an exception in the matter of encouraging wrong, since Christ has told us that all things done in secret would be proclaimed on the house tops, whether they be of good or evil. Our churches can never have the power to bring souls to Christ, nor exert the influence which has been intended they should, in the community, in its present state. There must come upon the scene a ministry that will have a fairly good knowledge of Scriptural teachings; plenty of trained Christian workers in each church; and above all, a church organization that will stand for the right. There is a loftier ambition than to merely stand high in the world. It is to stoop down and lift mankind a little higher. But we cannot stoop down, and lift one up that is doing wrong each day, by encouraging that one in the wrong So the church if it is to fulfil its real mission, must be made up of a membership that instead of being afraid of the world killing its influence, will teach the right, stand up for the right, and be guided by the word of God. It cannot have strength and be an example in the community by compromising with the wrong. But if good people are willing to stand for any kind of conditions, and make no protest, because they are cowards, or do not want to be thought odd or peculiar, just so long will the wrong thing predominate. The public holds the remedy for about all the ills from which it suffers. Let the public apply the remedy. were rendered and they received a number of encores. Mr. Truman E Gibson, founder of the Casualty Life Insurance Co., was a visitor at our chapel on Wednesday, March 16th. Miss Jullette Derrecotte, Y. W C.

Mr Akers is president of the Kansas Reserve State Bank and is interested in the welfare of the city. He is in favor of good schools and at the same time anxious that the taxpayers and patrons are given all that is necessary to maintain the standard the city schools now occupies in the systems of the country.

THE EDITOR SOJOURNS AT THE HEALTH RESORT, EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, MISSOURI. We visited Excelsior Springs last week for the purpose of taking some special baths afforded by our old friend, W. A. Doxy, also imbibed freely of the waters of that famed place which have such excellent restorative qualities, and feel greatly benefitted in having done so. Stopping at the Albany hotel, of which Mr. and Mrs. H. B Whitet are the owners, we found Mr. White, a very sick man. Mrs White, who had been spending the winter at El Paso, Texas, was called home to his bed side. At this writing he is improving. The Albany hotel is nicely furnised very home-like and convenient. Thousands of people throut out the country have been the guests of this place and speak very highly of the service and cuisine.

Hockadat, trained nurse of Kansas City is attending Mr. White. During the illness of Mrs White and the absence of his wife, the business of the hotel was handled by Mrs R. J. Monroe, Mr Monroe being a nephew of Mrs. White. ENDORSE OUR STAND Carbondale, Kansas March 18, 192 To The Topeka Plaindealer. Topeka, Kansas I am sending you 15c for three copies of your issue of March 11th. It is one of the most important issues I have read for a long time, and one which every Black man who wants to improve his condition should read the important editorial of this issue also every young Colored youth especially should take notice of the many opportunities that are set forth in this issue. This is the most important reason why every industrious Negro should read a paper that is published by our own race for our own interest. We never see these opportunities in the daily papers which are published by the whiteman, unless for their own benefits only. They never mention the Colored man's name unless he has committed some crime, then it is published in large letters on the front page. Anything good the Colored man accomplishes, is printed in small type and in some corner where it is seldom seen. Let me congratulate you in the great work which you are doing through the columns of your valuable paper for the uplift and progress of our people. May God bless you in your good work. Yours Sincerely, WM. FOSTER FRANK B. BROWN, CANDIDATE FOR SCHOOL BOARD Frank H. Brown, our old printer friend, is a candidate for the school board. Every citizen is urged to give him a vote and we will guarantee no one will ever regret their vote in his behalf. CLYDE O. TRESNER Candidate for Commissioner of Parks and Public Property Mr Tresner is a young man, full of pop and energy and will give the city a good business administration. He is active and will get around and see what is needed and will be on the job at all times. The taxpayers demand an efficient administration of its affairs and for this to be carried 14 CLYDE O. TRESNER out, it is necessary that an active occupant be placed in office who can get around the city and look after the many details connected with the office as well as to be able to see that the work is kept up to the standard. Sympathy should not be considered when it comes to public office. For five years Mr. Tresner was chief clerk in this department and is well qualified to carry on the work of that office which will be satisfactory to the citizens. He had charge of the park concessions. Mr. Earl Beck who was for a long time connected with this department under Mr. Tresner says, "He never worked for a finer gentleman" Mr. Beck is now with the Paseo Y M. C. A. of Kansas City, Mo. Mr Tresner is a friend of the laboring people, is a working man himself and will do all he can to make the parks inviting and a place of delight for the many who visit them during the summer. He believes in beautifying all the public places of the city which will have a tendency to encourage the home owners to do likewise. No mistake will be made in placing a cross after the name of Clyde O Tresner. --- CHANUTE, KANSAS Richard Hale, of Kansas City, Mo. arrived Monday to spend the summer with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

RESOLUTIONS Today man puts forth the bowers of youth Tomorrow he may be cut down; In the midst of life We are also in the midst of death Wherena, God in His All also Providence, has seen fit to remove from the faculty of Summer High School, Miss Jennie Alexander, our esteemed coworker and teacher of the History department, thereby causing a wave of sorrow that cannot be obliterated from the hearts of both teachers and student body. Miss Alexander was an alumna of Kansas University and a resident of Garnett, Kansas. She leaves a mother, three sisters, a brother and a host of friends to mourn their loss. In Miss Alexander, we found a noble embodiment of truth, loyalty and service. She showed a consistent Christian life and an untiring and unlimited devotion to her work. We sincerely feel that not only has the faculty and student body of Sumner High school suffered much thru the demise of Miss Alexander, but the race at large shares our loss. We, therefore, how in humble submission to the will of Him, who doeth all things for good to those who love his appearance. We resolve that a copy of these resolutions be written upon the records of Sumner High School, one sent to the bereaved family and one printed in the leading papers of the race. To the bereaved family, relatives and friends, we extend our heart felt sympathies and commend you to Him who will cheer you in the time of despondency, and give you strength to withstand the sudden shock. When the Book of Noble Deeds for Women is written, recording women who have stood at their post and shown their true worth and character, the name, Miss Jennie Alexander, will have a place.

There has been some discussion about the constitutionality of this measure, but Senator Curtis stated to the Associated Negro Press, in his opinion the subcommittee would find the measure constitutional. The sentiment against lynchings is not confined to any section of the country, and has grown with tremendous rapidity, so much so, that Congress cannot longer ignore action on this terrible crime. There is going to be legislation on lynching presented to the next Congress To the Associated Negro Press, Senator McCormick, of Illinois stated that he will again bring up his bill which provides for a Commission on lynching, consisting of five members "to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate" The commissioners are to be without salary, except one member designated as Secretary, who shall be paid yearly $5000 The commission would be authorized to conduct general inquiries into the subject of lynchings in the United States and make a final report MAPLE HILL, KANSAS Mrs L.

According to announcement, the Grade Teachers Study Club of this city presented Dr. Wm. E. Burghurdt DuBols, to the public on March 15th. Dr. DuBols the scholar, the stu dent of affairs, the writer, the lecturer, the philomath and the apostle of higher education. All of these, he is fully worthy of possession. He is recognized as one of the foremost writers of today. As editor of the Crisis and director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, his writings and comments are read through the world. For years he was an instructor of sociology at Atlanta University. He also studied in Germany. Mr. DuBois was the only man of color who sat as an official representative of the race in America, at the Pan-African Congress held two years ago in Paris. As to his having secured pass ports to that country at the critical time at which he went, we will not comment. He came to this city and enlightened those who heard with information and data bearing upon that trip which he delivered in the form of a lecture. Nothing sensational, nothing oratorical or flight, just an intelligent discourse, simply in its diction and impressive in its profoundness. It was an intellectual feast and in the light of the present day problems of progress and enlightenment of the race, it was worth while and very elevating. The public owes much to Mrs. Depriest, the president, and the Grade Teachers Study club for having secured the services of Dr. DuBols. A great service was done the community. This is, we understand, the initial and introductory appearance of the Study club. We trust it will not be the last, but a beginning which will continue to bring before us those of the race who are representative and qualified, to the extent of giving us enlightment and encouragement. We need it. The sentiment and thought created by this lecture will live for sometime. As intellectual lights, the teachers of our city schools should be in the forefront in all matters appertaining to the cultural and educational life of the community. Thanks to the Grade Teachers Study Club. In this connection, we take this opportunity to score the mob of our home state. We abhor such un-American conduct. To the evening paper we ask the following: Why remove such important news from the front page? We wish to thank the gentleman who summoned us over the phone to seek information of the date and day of our marriage, for not quizzing us further on the occasion than he did. As an epoch upon which to serve as a historical date, our marriage was a hummer. It satisfied so many false rumors. Up to that time we had been married several times to a number of young ladies. The inquirer might have asked us the color of the gown worn by the madam. For further information, we will say, we do not know, to our mind, we have not seen it since. MUST WE GROW OLD?
