NUMBER 20 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1919 RACE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS WILL THE DAPTISTS OF THE STATE COME TOGETHER? IF NOT, WHY NOT? The Roy, Dr. Lewis Meets the Issue. With more than ord nary pleasure I read the address of President King to the Baptist of Virginia in which he made a very convincing appeal for a reconstruction and the employment of new methods in Christian work consistent with the demands of the times. I do not quite agree with those who say that the address must be read and reread to fully grasp his meaning for to my mind it was as clear as crystal and as strong steel and must awaken a responsive chord in the heart of every intelgent Baptist and member in Virginia who may perchance read it. A GLOWING TRIBUTE His ideas are possible only to a progressive man, a big man, san crowned who lives above the fog in private life and public thinking. Such a leader is the requirement of these times, these per百 times when the very air is pregnant with revolutions. With him I quite agree that we are living in a new day a day of reconstruction. Old ideas and systems are passing away and new ideas and new systems, new connotations are coming meeting and contingling. In church State and society in general new conditions contour us. Therefore, reconstructed men; men of new ideas are necessary for these times, hence men of an aquted times, men oids and systems like out of date engines and wagons should and the true place upon the scrap pile of the vanished More. QUOTATION FROM LOESE SCRIPTURES. Ability, reinforcement and efficiency are area encouraged in the teachings of Christ, see Luke 14:35, 38. No man put new wine into ours since new wine (New ideas and systems) will bring the saints and the wine will be lost; but new wine or ideas and systems must be put into new skins. The Negro's greatest importance to progress obtains in the fact that he is sow to forgive and forget past wrongs and injuries done to him. In 1910, the baptist State Convention and the baptist General Association held their Annual meetings in Norfolk Va. There and then representatives of the two organizations conferred together upon the availability of a fraternal co-operation between the two State bodies and accordingly revolutions were adopted in both meetings embdying and concluding the idea that, hereafter fraternal co-operation between the two State bodies is desirable and shall obtain. Members of both organization shall this action as the beginning of a new and better day for the Baptist of Virginia. ABLE LEADERS CUTED. In advocacy of this resolution, brilliant and forcible addresses were made by some of the greatest Baptist lights of the State among whom we recall the names of Dr. W. F. Graham Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D.; Rev. Thos. H. White D. D.; Rev. Nelson Jordain D. D.; Rev. R. H. Rowling D. D.; President Wood; Dr. A. Bingar; Proof. J. E. Jones; F. C. Campbell' D. D.; J. M. Armstead D. D.; P. F. Morris D. D., Z. D. Lewis D. D.; A. A. Graham D. D. It was at this time that we entered upon an open petition to our brethren of the State and no time since has it been closed. It would seem that with prophetic eye those most men saw the crime of the day that is now upon us a day of not yet taken on the part of the Baptist hosts of this State an issue so, as indicated by Preident King in his great address, Now we swering the question at to whether the members of the Baptist General Association will accept the Invitation of Preident King to attend the meeting of the Baptist Convention in May at Petersburg. I would say that I see no reasonable reason why they should not do so, willingly and cheer fully. ALL BARRIERS TORN DOWN According to $ _{0} $ an agreement of our Baptist family every barrier between us has been torn down. In the matter of getting together, and working together for the cause of Education and the furtherance of Christ's Kingdom I think I voice the sentiment of the members of the General Association when I say that the Baptist Gen Continued on the Fourth Page.

(By the Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., March.—Generation as well as reconstruction is going on in the south. Never has the south been put to such a test of endurance as well as diplomacy as it is now passing through. In the first place the South is very much in need of laborers especially on the farms. It has not got ten over the effects of the large migration north for the past three years and with it the thousands of Negroes who were taken by the selective service into the army. A campaign of publicity has been started in the North urging Negroes to return to their former southern homes, and be received with "open arms," so to speak. A large number of the Northern communities are up in arms, and are protesting against the efforts to induce the colored people to return just as the south protested against the northerners coming down here and offering the men higher wages to come up in the "real land of the free." The white daily newspapers of the South are constantly having extensive articles in concerning conditions and took editorial comments concerning the seriousness of the situation. There are many problems affecting in to the situation, any one of which is rather common. The feeling is everywhere preceded among the white people that Negro boys, who have been in France and who have been real taste of social justice, will no return to their native homes, where for decades they have been best in ignorance and privation and endure the former things; and it is very natural that in a very respectable though determined way, the boys are letting the fact be known just as the white people are thinking. The political situation is one of the most ticklish, for even the daily news nurses admit that it is the highest hypocacy to allow men to die for a country, fighting for the cause of democracy and not in their native land are unable to vote. The Democratic party in all sections of the couth is badly split, and the Republicans under the leadership of National chairman Will H. Vays, are playing for an opportunity to break the "sold South" in 1920 even at the cost. It is stated by some, of sacrificing the Negro vote which has practically been the only Republican stand by in the south since the infringement on the 14th and 15th Amendments. Chairman Hays has recently made several addresses in the south, one of the largest gatherings being in Greensboro, N. C., where in his address he made no reference to the Negro but stated that the south needs the Republican party, and that the Re publican party needs the south. The entire country is much alarmed over the spread of the astounding "social unrest" and the possible effect it might have on the Negroes of the country if they should become sus capable to the propaganda of Injustice. Leaders are being called upon everywhere to counsel conservatism among the people and the news papers are being urged to speak softly. These things in a large sense are being done, and yet that determination to have real justice at this time is not abating. Dr. E. R. Jefferson's Injury. Dr. E. R. Jefferson had quite an exciting experience Friday 14th in about 6 P. M. He was returning to his office and had crossed the C and O. Railroad tracks on Hospital street when his chauffeur, Rainy started across the Second R. R. tracks as a twenty clap. The wheels in some number skidded to the right and up the track. A quick shift of the steering wheel sent the car in another direction and in avoiding a telegraph pole in still another direction. The result was that the car turned over and Dr. Jefferson being under found his chauffeur on top of him. He was painfully but not seriously injured. His face was bruised and his side has pained him much since. He was confined to his residence several days but is now out again looking after his nation's A. E.

He dealt with Jonathan and David and for nearly an hour he me most elemental appeal for old time friendship. He said it was a strange thing now to hear of a man loving another man. He had come to the conclusion that no man could love God and destroy his fellowman. He referred in touching language to the prayer of Rev. Dr. Thomas. He declared that no one was wier thy of the name of man who would not protect the woman who bears his name, if need be with his life. He referred to the foot that a certain prominent man, when his wife was elected made the remark that he had told her not to do it. He denounced this position taken by this prominent man. He dealt in detail with the mysteries of secret orders and awakened interest and called forth smiles of congratulation from the church packed to its greatest capacity Rev. Dr. Lewis was an interested spectator and listened with rapt attention. The sermon of Rev Dr. Stokes was recalled as being the ablest ever delivered by him upon a similar occasion. The Jubilee Songsters of David sang a selection to the infinite amusement and satisfaction of all present. Applause could not be sup pressed for the time being. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell Jr. delivered an extended address. He explained in detail the purposes of the Order of the Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe. He told of the action at law now pending in the Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, advocated subscriptions to the Thomas M. Crump Memorial, explained the work of the colaborators in the compiling of historical data relative to the achievements of the colored troops in France and then dealt with the Peace Conference. The total number of benefited Lodges and Courts is 302, with a combined membership of 11,340. The total amount paid in death claims during the past year was $27,645.00. A collection of $36.29 was lifted for the church and choir and the other after collections raised the amount to over $40.00. A vote of thanks was extended to the Second Baptist Church, Rev.

Spencer Carpenter, pastor of the Bridge St. A. M. K. church, has created a sensation here by a recent section delivered at his church in Brooklyn. In his sermon he predicted trouble as the result of the d'crimination practiced against colored soldiers in this country and in France by Southern white army officers. He also spoke against the discrimination by the Red Cross.

Dr. Lewis Meets the Issue. With more than ordinary pleasure I read the address of President King to the Baptist of Virginia in which he made a very convincing appeal for a reconstruction and the employment of new methods in Christian work, consistent with the demands of the times. I do not quite agree with those who say that the address must be read and recited to tell his group his meaning for to my mind it was clear as crystal and as strong as steel and must awaken a responsive chord in the heart of every intelligent Baptist and member in Virginia who may perchance read it. A GLOWING TRIBUTE His ideas are possible only to a pro-gress we man, a big man, man crowned who lives above the fog in private life and public thinking. Such a lead or is the requirement of these t.mos, these perilous times when the very air is pregnant with revolutions. With him I quite agree that we are living a day a day of construction.

Therefore, reconstructed men; men of new ideas are necessary for these times, hence men of an-quashed ideas, men of an acquired ideas, men of a date engine and wagons should and true place upon the scrap pile of the vanished years. QUOTATION FROM THE SCRIPTURES. Ability, readjustment and efficiency are most enforced in the teachings of Christ, see Luke 5: 37, 38. No man pattern new wine into old skins can now wine (new ideas and systems) will burst the skins and the wine will be lost; but new wine or ideas and systems must be put into new skins. The Negroes greatest hinderance to progress contains in the fact that he is slow to forgive and forget past wrongs and injuries done to him. In 1910, the Baptist State Convention and the Baptist General Association held their Annual meetings in Norfolk Va. There and then representatives of the two organizations conferred together upon the navigability of a traternal co-operation between the two State bodies and notors of both meetings embdying and confirming the idea that hereafter traternal co-operation between the two State bodies is desirable and shall obtain. Members of both organization lained this action as the beginning of a new and better day for the Baptist of Virginia. ABLE LEADERS CITED. In advocacy of this resolution, brill mant and forcible addresses were made by some of the greatest Baptist high s of the State among whom we recall the names of Dr. W. F. Graham Rev. W. H. Moses, D.

It would seem that with prophetic eye these great men saw the coming of the day that is now upon us, a day of getting together on the part of the Baptist hosts of this State an idea so ably advocated by President King in his great address. Now answering the question as to whether the members of the Baptist General Association will accept the invitation of President King to attend the meeting of the Baptist Convention in May at Petersburg. I would say that I see no reasonable reason why they should not do so, willingly and cheerfully. ALL BARRIERS TORN DOWN.

Paris, Maren 19.—Japan_ suddenty has loomed up as ie most threaen- ing cloud on President Wilson's hori zon. She will insist upon a clear and mneauivyed chiuse in che covenant of the League of Nations, and it she fails to obtain IC her delegates will re fuse to sigh any tren y containing the Teague covenant, Careful investigation in responsible Japanese m-ssion circles here by The Stn discloses: First—the issue of a speech un. doubiedly made on direct inspiration from the 'Tok-g’ Gevermnent and in tended to serve notice on the Presi dent, as the chief author of the cove nant, that fapan will insist upon smeh! a clause. Second rhe — Japamese delegation here has received word trem ‘okie in the last few days, since ihe text fof the covenant was published there, that fo wiil be umsate for them to re (urn home if they Rive adherence te amy covenant not containing (ne clause. CHIEF REASON GIVEN. 'Third—"The racial equality Seuse insisted upon clvesly because ob tie attitude of the United Sates att Austratia, which is considered demesan into Japan: Ly Ameriea because the dopanexe are No” treated on an equality boss om the wes'ern coast; by Austral’a because she ferbas all dapanese immigration, Whatever Viscount “Ishii may have said in Ameriea there is no doubt as Ive Inqu ry in Japanese eireles here shows, as fy what he mean; namely, that Japan would not sien the treaty unless 1 contained a elause. ‘The in timation conveyed yesterday In Amer ican civeles that Viscount Ishii did not serve an ulimatum and any way did not represent the view of Japan- ese here was apparently entirely un warranted. ‘The question has hecome acwle thraugh the publication in Ja pan of the text of the covenant. ‘There is no question that the Liber al party now in power in Japan would ho overthrown instantly if the delega tion here signed a trea'y without such a clause. ‘The Japanese newspapers up {o this {ime have heen contending stoutly for the principles of the loag uo and for atl the Wilson principles, Int the publication of the covenant Without (he racial clause Las aroused a furore, The press is now complain: ing (hat the Japanese delegation is weak and it showld have pressed the Point more vigorously — iM the com- aMiltee meetings. ‘Tho vacial equatity prine’ple, it is contended in Japanese principles here is Vital to Japan and withont an af- firmation of (his principle the whole object of the league would be destroy cd. A prominent Japanese made the point to the correspondent of ‘The Sun that the Tited States gives greater Tehts to the Negro than to the Japanese and Australia is worse, “What heeomes of the universal broth erhood that the league is sapposed to establish?” he asks. DELEGATION STIFFENED. Marquis Sainji will inform Prest dent Wilson in (he next few days in regard to Japan's attitude if he has not done so already. It is apparent that cables from Tokio have st'ffened tho Japanese delegation greatly. Ja- pan now is asking what will happen to tho treaty and the league if both America and Japan refuse thelr adher enco. ‘Tho President is represented as giv ing much thought to the question whether some vague clause ean bo in serted which will satisfy Japan and yet make it clear that Imm'gration is an internal question, The situation presents immediately one of the most, serious problems before the Peace Conferoneo. ‘The Japaneso protend, naturally, that tho Immigration question is not involved directly in this question but Japan in the opinion of .sany hero, plainly Is actuated by a desire to forti fy hor position in this diplomatic controversy, and it 18 conceded that sho would succeed in thla should tho league affirm this principle of ractal equality, Tho question then would be how could any signatory troat its own na tlonals difforently from those of any other country? Great Britain {s con corned as much as America because not only are her dominions opposod to such action but it would bring up tho question also in India. AUSTRALIA'S ATTITUDE. | Australia will “see the Leaguo of Nations go bust” before consenting to tho establishment of the principle of tho equality of races which would open Australia to tho flood of Japan eso immigration, “We won't deviate an inch _ from our expressed position on the Japan- ea0 question,” said William M. Hugh- os. the Premler of Australia. “We cannot agreo to any such provision holng Incorporated Into the League of Nations covenant or adopted” in any other form by the Peace Contor- onco so as to conflict with our intor esta.” ‘Tho Australian delegation cannot see how, if the Japaneso make a de formined fight, this proposition in the proposed covenant of tho league can posalbly be agreed upon within tho time specitied by tho President's party this being Saturday. They be Hovo it will bo fought over for a month or so, and that President Wil gon cithor must drop tho idea of hav ing the covenant ready simultaneous ly with the proliminary treaty or the idea must be dropped, ‘Thus because of the Japanoso dif ficulty, which President Wilson had maintained wouldn't be serious, tho signing of peaco may be delayed in defintely as it will be imposstblo virtually for Premicr Hughes to go back on his stand and even if he de sired to do so the feoting in Australia is as unanimous as any fecling possi- Uly could be on Japanese exclusion. NO PARTISAN ISSUE. ps isnt a party issuo there at al, as every party is agreed upon it and the voters would rise in their wrath against any Premier who per Mi(od sveh x provision as the Japan ese propose to be written into the Jengtio covenant or the treaty of peace, Australia has held this wew on the Japanese question since 1902 and won't reverse it now. ‘Tho Australian law, generally. call ed she exelusion kaw, is whimiseal Wut efficient.

Dr, Moton began hs addiess by declaring that in une shadow of the Rionumenis to Crispus Attucks and Kubert Gould Shaw there was no necd of proving the valor and courage of the Negro soidjer. “This nation," he said “has never seen a finer cemonstration of loyalty and patrio- tism than was manifos ed by the Ne groes who during, the great War gave freely of their money of their energy and efforts to the ends, that the War might be waged to a successful con clusion, I doubt if there is a parall- el in history of smilar effor's put forth by @ people in a sim‘lar situa- ton In order that they might havo the privilege of placing thoir lives at the service of thelr country." “The Negro is no Bolshevit, Dr. Moton emphasized, “Ho is ‘no anar- chist. He is just a plain, hard work ing, earnest, yearning and struggling American citizen, He loves his coun try and in every emorgency has proved his willingness to die for it.” In his strong manly plea, Dr. Moon in pointed and forceful words not only played for justice for his race but set at rest some criticism on the part of his own poople for lacking qualifications to lead ihem In all that is best and h’ghest in American citlaenship. Emmet J. Scott, Secrotary of Tuske geo Ing ituto and for more than a yoar Special Assistant to the Seere- tury of War, also spoke and gave uw detailed account of the Negrces war record. The Negro was represented in practically every branch Mr. Scott declared.

Nowark, N.d., Mareh 20.—Kormer United Slates Senator Joseph — W. Bailey, of ‘Pexas and Washington leit the Democratic party in a speech to igat al a Danquet Kven by the Road Drivers’ Association ot New Jersey. ‘The announcement of the ‘Texas statesman came as a conclusion of an addiess in whick he deprecated demperacy in its present form — and practice and deplored the tend — ot national authoriies to usurp the rights of individuals. Iis contention was that the Domoerats as the domi- nant power in the country, had burd ened the people unnecessarily with taxes and resvrictions. Whilo essentially his plea was for individual liber.y, Senator Bailey con demucd the league of nations — as robbing the Uniled States of its sov eveignty and depriving | stragel ng. peoples, including Iroland of “self degermination” rights. He was em phatie in his charge that the Demo eraiie party as now controlled has an ultor disregard for the rights of all the people of America. EPECT OTHERS ‘TO Quit. Much signifieance was given to the “insurgeney” of former Senator Bail- ey hy the hundreds of men who heard him, with his characteristle orator cal power of expression. Li was looked upon here as the Lxst break ariong many Democrats, in Congress and out, who aro disap pointed with present day democracy and look for politica! relief elsewhere. In closing his address which was punctuated with amost constant —ap- plauso, Senator Batley satd: "T have been a Democrat all — my lifo—a ‘collar democrat,’ if you please nd I ave never scratched a party ULket; but those who now control the Vomoeratic party have renounced oF wMndonad one Domveratie prnciple ater another in such rapid and be- Wildering ‘succession that thoy have left us nothing except tho name, “Since Thomas Jefferson founded ft, and first gave Immortal utterance to: its creed the Democratfo party has always mslsted that every Stato shpuld exclusively control tho local afftirs of its own people; but a Dem- opiate Congress immolated — that tit®honored doctrine upon the al- tar of national proliibition, and a majority voted to repent the suet! fied in ‘behalf of woman suffrage.

Sunday was indeed a beautiful day, a day that all were assured that Spring is here. All the services at the First Baptist Church were well attended. Sunday School opened at 9:30 a.m. (large attendance). 11:30 Rev. H. H. Harvey, reached on the large waiting sermon a splendid and practical sermon from the text found in the tenth chapter of Numbers. At 3:30 the B, Y. P. U., which has awakened to new life and zeal had to come up for life meeting. Mrs. Tessio, Best, of St. Paul, present and gave the young people few encouraging remarks. The evening services were opened at the usual hour. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. H. Harvey. The pastor introduced Sergent Walker Jordan and Leontenant Paige Lancaster, robe returned from France. The audience was highly entertained as they told of their expolonies while in France. PYTHIAN ANNIVERSARY The Knights of Pythias and the Courts of Calanthe hold their annual thanksgiving service Sunday in the Odd Follows Hall on Third Street, because of the lateness of their notice, prohibited their appearance in one of the churches of the city. Mr. Weldom Scott favored the Orders with a splendid address, which was enjoyed by all. Others who gave enthusiastic remarks were Madames Pearl Madden, Julia Brown, Mary E. Hill and Annie Miller. The collection was taken for the A. M. E. Church, after which the services closed with all saying it was the best that had ever had. Mr. Tessio T. Best, of Brooklyn, M. Y. roamed to her home last week after a month's stay with her father, Mr. Simon Taylor. On her way home she will visit her brother, Mr. A. M. Taylor, of Richmond. She wishes to use this space in thanking her many friends for their kindness shown during her mother's illness and death. Mrs. Nannie Brown and Mrs. Lulu Scott who have been confused for several months, suffering from Paralysis, are improving rapidly. Mrs. Laura S. Wiley received a telegram Sunday morning stating that her brother had died in Atlanta Ga. She has our deepest sympathy. RED CROSS HONORS SOLDIERS Last Thursday evening, March 20, at the First Baptist Church will be long remembered by our soldier boys, those from overseas and those who did not go overseas, but were waiting on this side until their time should come. They were highly entertained by the Red Cross and friends. A splendid program was arranged and rendered which was indeed a success. After the opening song, Rew. J. H. Wiley read the Scriptures and Rev. J. R. Augustus prayed. Our friend and brother, Charles E. Burrell of the white Restrict Church made a few romarks. They are very brief and fine. He showed boys what a wonderful chance they have to be real men and good citizenz. Following his remarks Mr. A. W. Lancaster added a few words in behalf of soldier boys. He said all they notice is a chance to do and to be instead of being refused and punished and they will prove to be men like others as we have always done. Sergant Walker H. Jordan followed by request. He and his brother, Nelson R., Jr. are resting with the "Old folks at home." Their last hours in France after the armistice and during the conflict were spent on Metz and in the jaws of death. He not told the story they were both members of the 67th Brigade and the 351st Flield Artillery. Sergeant Jordan's remarks were also brief and snappy. He pictured very beautifully how they had fought for democracy on the other side and are now wondering if the boys who are yet to come home will find how America is going to receive them. In conclusion he invited evo-ment to attend a "mess" formation which he had informed of, but he told the friends not much because the boys weren't going to buck the line because the Red Cross workers were in line. After leaving the church they found supper ready and awaiting them at the Community Service Rooms, 410 Main Street, which were beautifully decorated. There the boys and friends ate to their hearts' content. The evening was indeed a pleasant one. But why not? Have the Red Cross workers over failed in anything? I should say no. Did they not pledge themselves to stick to the boys? Did they not go over petitions to the boys and come back with them? The boys and soldier boys who went over, weren't the last ones to say goodbye, farewell when the old greyhounds of the sea stumbled and staggered from the shores of America?
