THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER WEEK DAY SERMONETTES By Dr. H. T. S. Johnson Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma THE WAY TO INTERRACIAL COOPERATION Acts 10:34-35—"Then Peter began to speak, 'I clearly see,' said he, 'that God makes no distinctions between one man and another; but that in every nation, those who fear Him and live good lives are acceptable to Him.'" Peter was a strict Jew and shared "fully the opinion of his race that God made them out of a better clay than he ured when making the Gentiles." Theo he with other apostles, had been commissioned to "go the whole world all mankind," he still believed the over and proclaim the good news to good news was for the Jews only. Not until the house top vision did he give a thought about the Gentile claim on salvation. Not until he heard Cornelius tell of the heavenly messenger to himself did he get big enough to say, "I clearly see that God makes no distinctions between one man and another." In this story there are some notable facts: 1. These men of different races were brought to fraternal relations because of they both were men of prayer. Cornellius was offering prayer in his house when that heavenly messenger stood in front of him and gave him the knowledge that his prayer was heard and his charities recorded, together with the instruction that he send to Joppa for Peter. Peter went on the house-top to pray and there saw the vision which relieved him of race prejudice, an emancipation without which no man can live his longest and best. These men of different races were both open-minded as to divine guidance. The angel told Cornelius to send for Peter and he did it forthwith. He did not stop to reflect on the haughty attitude of the Jew towards the Gentile world and conclude that it was no use to send for that proud Israelite because he would not come. Neither did Peter refuse to respond to the request of Cornelius on the ground that it would be a condescension damaging to his social standing and religious consistency. God ordered him to go and that was enough. Social relations that could be damaged and religious consistency that could be hurt by doing God's will was not worth protecting. Relations between white men and black men in the United States will not reach the point of brotherhood until, like Cornelius and Peter, the leaders on both sides become: 1. Men and women of prayer. People who do not pray should not be entrusted with the responsibility of leadership. A leader must have the poise which prayer gives. Especially is this true as regards the Negro leader. There is so much against him so much to provoke anger, so much to discourage, so much to make him desperate that it is absolutely necessary for him to keep his head on top as a safe-conduct against conduct and counsel that would make his leadership dangerous. The only guarantee of a level head under trying circumstances is the prayer habit. The Negro must pray the prayer of faith on the door of hope will close. The white man needs to pray, especially when he thinks of himself in relation to the Negro, for humility. He is so prone to disregard the Scripture which says: "I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly." Humility is the mark of the man who prays, white or black. It is also an outstanding characteristic of the man who thinks correctly and who is of dependable piety. These are all requisites of true leadership and emphasize the necessity of prayer as a condition precedent to interracial cooperation. 2. We must become in both races, men and women open to divine guidance, like Cornellius and Peter, before we can meet on terms of brotherhood. White men and black men of America, "we are brethren." Denial does not alter the fact. Dr. Lyman Abbott never told a bigger truth than when he said: "To deny brotherhood of man is to deny the fatherhood of God." Leaving out the religion and the ethics, we should be brethren in practice regardless of color, because it adds to our personal popularity. Why did J. C. Walton, win the recent selection in Oklahoma, with every news paper in the state, except a Socialist daily and a Negro democratic weekly against him? Because whether it is NORTH TOPEKA NEWS Mrs. Bettle Freeman and daughter Hortense and grandson Lester spent the week-end with Mrs. Bills and Cornell on North Western Avenue.

Miss Gwendolyn Bills attended Mr. Cappers birthday picnic and enjoyed herself very much. Mr. and Mrs. Mattle Davis 906 N. Western Ace. entertained at 3:00 o'clock dinner Sunday.

Miss Thelma Mott of Ft. Riley is the guest of Mr.' and Mrs. James Feagin 909 N. Western Ave. for an indefinite time. Dr. W. P. Kyle of Pittsburg, Pa. is visiting in the city, having been called here on account of the death of his mother. Mr. James Scott and two of his laughters of Los Angeles, Cal. are visiting in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Payne, of Kansas City, motored to the city Sunday evening. Mrs. Elisha Scott accompanied them on the trip. Mrs. Dinah Scott and Elisha Jr. and John Jefferson Scott are visiting Mrs. Scotts daughter Carrie, in Spring Valley, Ill. The Scott boys write they are having a fine time. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Harris of New York, are visiting Mr. Harris mother in Highland Park.

If some notice had been given, some of the family would have attended the funeral, as Mr. Lambertson has been sick for some time. Mrs. Lucy Rodford Pavne, age 75 died at her home on North Jefferson Street. Funeral was held at B. Street Baptist Church. She was a member of Myrna Chapter No. 7.

Mr. Joe Smith and family of Bristow Okla. were in Topeka this week for several days visiting his sister. so or not the common white people and the Negroes believed that in him they had a friend. The practice of brotherhood is the strongest political pull one can have. If you do not believe it, philosophize on Gov. Walton's election and the popularity of Mayor Thompson of Chicago. Both of these men preach and practice a fair deal towards all the people, including Negroes. White men do not lose anything by being kind to Negroes. If so history does not show it. If the world were asked to name the two greatest presidents this country has had, the two names that would head the list would be Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipator, and Theodore Roosevelt, the only president who ever ate lunch with a Negro. Nor does the Negro lose anything by getting close to the white man. In fact, the greatest leaders the race has produced are those Negroes who have been able to get most from the white man for their people. Booker T. Washington was our greatest leader because he brought to the race the cooperation of the white people of the widest influence and greatest wealth as no other Negro had done. Since the greatest white men and the greatest Negroes America has produced are those who have practiced most wisely interracial cooperation, why not all of us add to our usefulness by following their lead?

"For many years I have been associate editor of the Voice of Missions without pay. "I can do the work. The work to me is play, and it is play because I like the work. I am not making a claim for honor; but I would be happy to be thus honored by the Church next May at Louisville, Kentucky. There is no greater office in the Church for service, and I wish to be in a position where I can at all times render the maximum services to the Church of God and my people." Dr. Downs, who, with Mrs. Downs, is a resident of this city, has reared a large family. Six of his children, all of whom are married, are living. LEAVENWORTH VETERAN IN THE CAUSE OF RACIAL ADVANCEMENT By J. A. Rodgers Special Reporter for the K. N. F. Service. Author of "From Supreman to Man," and "Blood Money." Dr. R. R. Downs, D. D., editor of "The Voice of Mission," organ of the A. M. E. church, is a veteran in the cause of the advancement of his race. Born in Vicksburg, Mins., during the days of slavery, he has labored long, faithfully and intelligently throughout the passing decades. During that stirring times of the reconstruction period, when it was much more dangerous than now to oppose disfranchisement, segregation and injustice, he stood unfilinchingly for the rights of the race at all times, and once marvelously escaped the lyncher's mob in Columbus, Ga., because of his views on Negro education. Dr. Downs entered the A. M. E. church in 1880, and has been in constant service every since. He has filled many pulpits in various parts of the United States, having served, among other places, in Atlanta, Ga., Ohio, Savannah, Ga.; Columbus, Ga.; Columbus, Ohio; Lima, Ohio. Several churches have owed their erection to his inspiration and energy, among which is the splendid A. M. E. edifice in Lima. He has served as presiding elder in the Savannah and other districts and has long been a figure at the National Conferences, where he speaks on behalf of the missionary work. Today he still stands pre-eminently one of the leading ministers of the A. M. E. church. In addition to his duties as editor Dr. Downs is in charge of the missionary department of the A. M. E. Church, located at 62 and 64 Bible House, on Anator Place. Having been for many years a contributor to the Voice of Missions, his name was carried at the head of the paper as one of its editors. It was not known directly after the board meeting in August 1922, that he was available for the position as editor, but his name having been suggested because of his long connection with the paper, he was later asked to take the post, and, after some hesitancy, consented to do so. In the field he continues to give the church, still more extensively, the benefits of his ripened scholarship and varied experiences as an active pastor. In his function as editor of one of the foremost church publications in the world, he is at last filling a post where his abilities as a thinker, preacher and writer, and his upright, sterling influence as a man of God, will be disseminated throughout the length and breadth of the church. Like most men who have served well and nobly, Dr. Downa is very reticent on the subject of his activities, A representative of the Amsterdam News, who called upon him in his office, could learn little of his interesting career from his own lips. Quiet and unassuming to a degree it is evident that he believes in doing his duty, and doing it without display. He is the recipient of many letters of congratulation for the excellent manner in which he did his work. Among the number is one from the editor of the Christian Recorder, R. R. Wright, Jr., who said "I congratulate you upon your appointment to the missionary department of the Church. I am sure it is a good one and that the work will be taken care of by a religious as well as a consecrated man." Dr. Downa is a firm believer in practical Christianity. "I believe," he said, "in the common origin of mankind—Ina common humanity. Of one blood God made all the races of the earth. I believe in practical religion—in the kind of religion that will create a better and kindlier understanding among men of all creeds, colors, and classes; not the kind of religion that is a mere display of the emotions." Serving at a Sacrifice At the present time, Dr. Downs is serving at a personal sacrifice. He is filling the position because of the illness of Rev. J. W. Rankin, D.'D., who has been suffering for some time from a nervous breakdown and overwork. Dr. Downs hopes to be elected permanently to the position of secretary of missions, which includes also the editorship of the Voice of Missions. The General Conference at which time the elections will be held, convenes in Louisville, Kentucky in 1924. He is one of the outstanding candidates. "I am no stranger to the readers SLPARATE SCHOOL QUESTION DU BOIS & DILEMMAS Since my childhood I have had a contempt for Peter, "the Rock," because he allowed himself to get too scared to speak out when he saw his friend Jesus being railroaded to execution on false testimony, and because, when Jesus was being led out by the police, Peter became such a contemptible coward that he even indulged in a little "cursin' and swearin'" just to prove to Jesus enemies that he did not belong to Jesus' church, but was one of the wicked bullies, like them. As the mob was escorting and taunting his friend, he only dared to "follow afar off." But among those sadists there was a keen-eyed servant girl, who, when she saw this once valiant Peter sneaking along in the tail end of the mob, called to the bullies who were mobbing Jesus and said: "Here—this fellow is one of them—he's His friend—this fellow here." Whereupon Peter trembled and said: "No, I'm not. I don't even know him. I'm no friend of his. I know not the man." And to prove it conclusively he cursed and swore—to prove to the bullies that he was more like them than like Him. AND THE COCK CREW And the contempt which I have had for Peter for 35 years, I would now have for myself for the rest of my life, if I kept safely and judiciously quiet under the repeated erroneous statements which I read in our papers to the effect that William Burghardt Du Boise, whom I know well, is a "segregationalist." One of the most effective, even if it is the most cowardly methods of "bearing false testimony," is to keep loudly and eloquently quiet when you have an opportunity to aid the truth through the "say so." Du Bois is not a segregationalist—never has been—and also prophecy is a precarious business, I predethe he never will be. Up to date he has done more by his influence to oppose segregation and Jim Crowism than any other man in American history. And he is almost too old to learn such a novel trick now. This is not even a pretense of a defense of Dr. Du Bols' attitude on the question and problem of Cheyney Institute. That particular case must be defended or lost on its own merits. It is the opinion of the writer of this editorial that when it was first proposed to make Cheyney Institute one of the State Normal schools, the colored leaders of Pennsylvania should have demanded of the state authorities a clear and documented understanding, to this effect: That Cheyney Institute, on becoming a state school, is no longer to be a colored school exclusively, but pupils of all races (perhaps from a certain district) are to be admitted to it, regardless of race or color; and white teachers, as well as colored teachers, may be employed in any capacity and on the basis of merit only. Something like that, including a reaffirmation of the democracy of the state school of Pennsylvania, should have been secured from the state authorities, or else the colored voters of Pennsylvania should have opposed taking Cheyney Institute into the public school system. The failure of some such precondition has caused a dilemma, in which a good school will either be damaged or a great cause lost—or both. Even now the aim and objective of our fight should be to open Cheyney and all other state schools to all qualified students and teachers of all the races. Meanwhile it is a cause for pride and gratification that colored Ameri cans have become no sensitive to the disgrace of the degradation and the humiliation of their children in "Jim Crow" schools. The least we can do is to fight the progress of "Jim Crow" every inch of its way. It will be a thousand times better in advantages to be beaten in a fight on this issue than to yield without fighting—for a settlement by force is no settlement—and there is a fight ahead of us. And don't forget, dear reader, that "You know me, Al," and that W. E. B. Du Bois will learn of this editorial just as you learn of it by reading it. And let you and him and me girl or lions and unite our forces for the "quiet struggle of our careers and against segregation and "Jim Crow" during the next ten years through the North and East.

To The Plaindealer I left Arkansas City on Thursday morning, April 12th, at 6:15 o'clock, driving a Mormon car, with Mr. and Mrs. Farror and daughter, Miss Pearl. We left via the Rock Island road, but found it too muddy and had to leave it. We went thru Winflied and on to Wichita and found the farther we went the less it had rained. At Wichita we hit the Cannon Ball trail to Kingman. We stopped just out of town and had lunch then on through Pratt and Dodge City, teaching there at 3:15 p. m. where we intended to spend the night. But it was so early we drove on to Garden City, arriving at 5:45, a distance of 286 miles. We put up the car and called on Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hart, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Brown, and Mrs. Calloway (she has changed her name by marriage but I do not recall it at present); went to see Mr. and Mrs. Pennington, 707 North 8th street, and got rooms for the night. I went with him to a special call meeting of the K. of P. lodge, but they did not have a meeting. We went on to the A. M. E. church where they were giving a social. Here we met quite a few people of the city. We also met Rev. Geo. Haller, the pastor, and his good wife. After the social we went home and wrote up our diary and retired. Mr. and Mrs. Pennington were very nice, muking a splendid host and hostess. During our short stay with them my money was as counterfeit, and I left with an invitation to return. Alising at 5 00 o'clock, we left Garden City at 6 00, time changing at Dodge City. It began to rain after we left and the roads were very slippery. After putting on the chains we got started for the rest of the day. We arrived at Syracuse, Kans., at 8 o'clock and had breakfast at the Haivey House; then left for LaJunta, Colo., arriving there at 1:15 and leaving at 1:35, arriving at at 4:15 p. m., a distance of 262 miles. I left the party at the Harvey House, put up the car, and went to look for a room. I walked the town for one hour before finding one. I constantly missed the right streets, taking streets for alleys. Met four people who knew Willia West. I finally got supper at E. P. Ferguson's restaurant, which was a very nice place. Arose at 5 o'clock Saturday morning, got the party and left at 6:35. I move from 20 to 25 miles per hour over the Ratoon. Passed through the city of Ratoon. The roads were in fine shape and it was a beautiful sight to look down upon the city. Soon after leaving Ratoon we ran into muddy roads. Then we came to Wagon Mound. This city got its name from the mound around it having the resemblance of an old fashioned covered wagon. It is a Mexican town. We arrived in Las Vegas, N. Mexico, at 3 o clock, got a room at 411 R. R. avenue, close to the house where the party stayed. Here we drained the oil out of the car, went and bought a pair of overalls, and oiled the car. After that I went to the Harvey House for supper, then to the movies, and came back and went to bed. Sunday, April 15, I arose at 5:35, went to the garage for the car, then to the Harvey House for breakfast, and left Las Vegas at 6:45. We had very good roads for 50 miles, then they were a little slower. Got to Santa Fe, N. Mex., at 11 a. m., and left for Albuquerque at 11:50, arriving there at 2:15 p. m., making 145 miles from Las Vegas to Belen, N. Mex. Twenty miles from Santa Fe comes 13. Farm Crops 14 Trucking 15 Laundry 16 Domestic Science the La Haraba grade, which is 14 miles long, has 23 short curves, and drops one thousand feet in the distance. In the center of the town. Also a Santa Fe has a beautiful little park beautiful court house and some Indian schools. We arrived at Belen, N. Mex., at 4:45 p. m., Sunday. This was my birthday but I was so busy fighting the roads that I did not think of it until night when I went to my diary. I went to Hotel Kuhn for room and left the car standing beside the building at my window. Here I met Mr. Thomas Nash. Ie, his wife and another colored man who works at the station, were the only colored people in the little town. After supper at the restaurant I went to church and they had very good services and I was made welcome. The distance from Las Vegas to Belen is 175 mile Monday morning, April 16, I are at 1:30, got the car and party and left the town at 5:35. For 11 miles we had bad roads. Went over the Johnson grade before we got to Sacramento, and the condition of the road had changed so much since we went over it in 1919, that we were looking for it until we had passed over it, on to Magdalena, N. Mex., roads. We left the Santa Fe trail after leaving Albuquerque and at Sacario gasoline was 45c per gallon and the poorest we ever had. We then went over into Arizona. Just before we got to Springerville, Ariz., we passed through St. John, Ariz., a little town where we stayed over night. On Sunday morning our 1919 trip made it to Holderbrook, Ariz., at 6:45, a distance of 319 miles from Belen, N. Mex., put the car up and went to supper. Four colored people live here, two men and two women. We visited a little while with the man who worked at a pool hall there, then went to the Commercial hotel, to my room and went to bed. Next morning I arose at 5 o'clock, had a bath, dressed and walked over the town until the party was ready to go. Lefe Winslow where we stopped for breakfast. The party went to the Harvey House. I went to a popular cafe. After breakfast we started for Ask Park, leaving Winslow for Flagg Staff. We were instructed to take the northern route, 17 miles farther, but the roads were much better. We had been over the south roads, which were very bad in places. We struck good roads soon, which led to Ashfork, arriving at 4:15, a distance of 172 miles. Here I left the party at the Harvey House, went to the hotel in Arizona. I got the room I had in 1919, came out after registering, and a tire was flat. When it was repaired and put back on the car I went to the Harvey House. There I met Mr. W. T. Ball, of Winslow, Ariz., who was chef for a man whose former home was in Topeka, and who married a lady from Newton, Kans. Was well acquainted with Rev. P. W. Weaver, also met Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Alexander, who run a cleaning and pressing establishment and are doing fine. They are in the only building that is equipped with electric lights. After an enjoyable visit with Mr. and Mrs. Alexander I went to supper at the hotel, and then to my room, where I did some writing. Next morning I arose at 5 o'clock, went to the Harvey House, got the car and party, and left at 5:45 a.m., drove to Sellgman for breakfast, a distance of 25 miles. Had breakfast at the Harvey House. Here the time changed to Western time. We had good roads from here to Needles, Cal. We took the wrong road at Kingway, Ariz. We thought after we got on it for a while, but it was really the right road. It had been changed a little. (To be continued.) 17.
