Dr. Hatcher With Evading the Issue--He Insists That the Methodist Divine is Seeking Popularity: States the Issue as "A Four Cornered Earth and a Moving Sun""Injects the Baptismal Doctrine into the Discussion-Ridicule and Sarcasm-A Caustic Reply and a Biting Rebuke. VOLUME XLII. NO. 24 PROF. CO Charges For Evading the That the is Se States the Issue a Moving Sun' into the Discu Caustic Reply (Prof. Gordon B. Hancock is one of the eldest members of the faculty at Virginia Union University—Ed.) It is a source of regret that a further prolongation of this discussion has been forced upon us, but it must not be said of Richmond that it sat supinely by while Dr. James S. Hatcher held its nose and poured down its throat his doctrine of a "four-cornered earth- and a moving sun". Although it seems futtle to argue with a man whose mind seems so immune and impervious to consecutive thought, our community pride has been wounded and the situation demands that we pay our last respects to this erstwhile emigrant divine. PREVIOUS CHARGES In a previous communication we charged that Dr. Hatcher was either preaching what he did not believe or that he was four hundred years behind the times. We argued that if he were preaching what he did not believe, he was commercializing the fame of John Jasper; and if he actually believed in the *Stoctrine of a four-cornered earth* and a *moving sun* he thereby forfeited his claim to the attention of intelligent people. In his so-called "reply" Dr. Hatcher skilfully evades the issue in its enirety and we are therefore left to draw our own conclusions which will be obvious from what hereinafter follows. His "reply", aside from the fact that it contained but little in general and less in particular, gives one of the most striking illustrations of what we commonly call "a few scattering remarks" for in the art of forensic evasion Dr. Hatcher is a past master par excellence. This "reply" reminded us of a story like this: Once upon a time a mouse crept out of his hole to see if the cat was gone and the cat wasn't; scramble!!!!—and the mouse wasn't. EVADES THE ISSUE Dr. Hatcher's ability to evade the issue seems matched only by his ability to miss the point in an argument he seems unable to refute. In our article we pointed out that ecclesiastical robes and theological degrees and "sun do move sermons" do not go together, meaning of course to point out Dr Hatcher's inconsistency in trying to be modern in dress and ancient in mind, or rather his attempt to blow hot and cold at the same time, or still, his attempt to get down on both sides of the fence at once. The learned Doctor missed the point altogether. And again, when we exhorted him to "step out of Jasper's light", we meant Jasper's fame, having of course allusions to Diogenes. Again, the eminent Dr. Hatcher construed this exhortation to mean spiritualism and mediums and a that. When we made the exhortation we had a subtle suspicion that Dr Hatcher was seeking to exploit John Jasper's fame and our suspicion has been about confirmed, for said he in his "reply" "I preached James Hatcher's sermon". We wish to say that when he thus arrays himself against Jasper he suffers in comparison and what is mere, beside Jasper he shrinks like a pancured gas bag, or (Continued on Page 8) —Miss Regis V.

GILPIN THRILLS DURHAM DURHAM, N. C., April 20—Mrs. C. Bernard Gilpin had to sing only the first number to be inspired to give her best to the highly appreciative, cultured and critical audience which heard her here last week in recital. The applause after the first rendition was so spontaneous and beauty, wholesome and reassuring, that if such were possible, the soloist sang in sweeter tones than ever before. She registered the high notes as only a capable singer can do, returning to normativity with perfect ease and naturalness to the fulsome delight of a knowing and high 'inelient' audience. Mrs. Gilpin's program was arranged in five groups, comprising folk-songs, spirituals and classics, rendered with precision as to tone-quality technique and enunciation, filling the auditorium with exceptional volume of a voice abounding in unusual sweetness and flexibility. Mrs. Lydie Merrick, of Durham was Mrs. Gilpin's most capable accompanist. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925. SUCH IS THE FAITH OF MEN By A. B.

The newly appointed Jeane Super visor of Chesterfield County is Mrs. Janet Peyton Crawley, Hampton '11, who for the past five years has been principal of the Hickory Hill School, South Richmond, Va. On County Patrons Day each league was represented by a delegate and a good report. The children furnished songs, stories and recitations appropriate for the occasion. Our Institute Days proved of great benefit under the direction of Miss Edna M. Colson, of V, N. I. I. One of our most interesting lessons was the Intelligence Tests. We hope to get the tests for the County another year. There has been completed at the County Training School the first Rosenwald Building in the County. It will aid in relieving the congestion at the school. At the end of our term a fine commencement was held. It was an occasion long to be remembered. We had present Mr. T. C. Williams, Division Superintendent; Prof. M. W. Connor, V. U. U.; Prof. Florence, V N. I. I.; Mr. L. C. White. Field Agent, Negro Organization Society; Mr R. F. Jones, Farm Demonstration Agent.

Olive Baptist Church had a rath or peculiar experience recently, which put his oratorical powers out of commission for about two weeks. He was eating his favorite fish—perch, when a bone entered the centre of his tongue. He pulled all of it cut as he thought, but his tongue became inflamed and all efforts to locate the trouble was in vain. Finally, the tongue became swollen and the remaining place of fish-bone worked out with a slight discharge of pus and except for a slight elevation on the place of injury, he is all right now. The filling station, "Good Gulf Gasoline", the repair and workshop and the accessories' department may be found at Gayle's place, S Woolley Street.

To the Baptist Brotherhood: We are wont to fall back upon the elegant arm ("Our Fathers", whenever we want to touch the deep springs of enthusiasm. It possesses the happy power of linking us with the glorious history of the past and we are enabled to live over the stirring days when men rejoiced to stand at Armageddon and battle for the Lord. In this particular we are not unlike our fellow creatures of other race groups who fall back upon the noble achievements of their men of valor. The struggle through which the leaders and workers of the Virginia Baptist State Convention underwent to weld the Negro group into a religious organization that was to function for human betterment, and race building by Christianizing, educating and organizing for service are so kindled to the deeds of men building the State and at times social and political institutions, that we associate their endeavors with warfare. It was not carnal warfare, if you please, but moral. Christian warfare. They were indeed Christian men, preachers and teachers of truth, yet they were courageous, of stern qualities, abiding faith, animating home profound convictions. These be our fathers! The founders and fathers of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, the promoters of practically every beneficial movement in our race circles, within our denomination, that has contributed to our progress. They constitute a galaxy that will with increasing luster shine. The most of them have fallen asleep. They have stacked arms and passed to us their heritage.

The second annual State Intercolonial Ostratical Contest was held Friday evening. April 17. in the chapel of Virginia Union University, with eight accredited high schools competing for the Henderson Trophy. Prof. Miles W. Conn presided in masterly fashion. The orations were well prepared and delivered with remarkable effect. It was the closest forensic battle ever waged here.

Jackson, of Union, received the first honors with two firsts and one third, giving him low point score of 5. His subject was "Perseverance the Forerunner of Victory." Miss Geneva Ellen Byrd's oration, "Doing Your Bit" received two fifth places and one third, rating her second. She represented St. Paul's, at Lawrenceville. Armstrong, the local high school received third prize for Mr. Archer Mitchell's oration on "The Negro of the Twentieth Century." He received first place, fourth and eighth places, making a score of 13. Mr Samuel Hugo Brown, represented Peabody. Petersburg; Mr. James Rale, Norfolk. Miss Evelyn Jovens, Hartshorn, Miss Lillie A.

NEWS! WHAT IS NEWS? (Prtston News s:rvice’ Writing with thoughtful vigor and incon- trovertible logic, the Editor,of the New York Times, one of the world’s greatest newspa- pers, in its issue of April 17, 1925, discusses the subject of “Negro Education and Op- por’unity”, gravely and with a p’ainness that makes us know that his heart and head are “square” upon those things which are dearest to our Race. Says the Times Editor: “Ed- ucation, whether of the Tuskegee-Hampton industrial type or of the type supplied by colleges and professional schools, is the primary %ool which the Negro must employ to promote his own progress and that of the community in which he lives. Yet the best of tools may be blunted against too formid- able obstacles. The environment in which the trained Negro strives for achievement must be such as not to make him, wonder whether his education is not a mockery. The opportunities to which he is entitled in law and justice must NOT be RESTRICTED” “Primary Tools!” Surely, we have used them time and again only ‘o blunt them upon the “formidable obstacle” described by Mi. Ochs, name’y, the “Environment in which the trained Negro strives for achievement.” That environment, in its larger sense is, as the Times Editor knew, a white man’s en- vironment. No type of segregation or racial separation in America serves to wipe out the overhead environment of the so-called white man’s country. Rather, it serves to intensify the black man’s knowledge of environment, which ever has a false background as long as the “Opportunities to which he (the Negro) is entitled in law and justice” are restricted. “Achievement!” - Whese has there been an achievement by any racia! group, individ- ually or collectively, which has not been matched by the Negro? Must “Achieve- ment” be now classified by Race to meet the exigencies of the physical differences of peo- ples? If so, then there is no education equal to the needs of world knowledge and world progress. “Opportunity!” This, as Mr. Ochs infers, is the Will O” the Wisp which the educated Negro is forced to pursue in order to improve his community and his county. Holding’ “Opportunity” tightly within the palms of their hae limited groups of the whites are responsible for the Negro’s limitations. Economic growth alone wil never solve the problem: for social growth must blend itself into the transition of ignorance in'o knowledge. And, thus, must “Opportunity” be expanded to meet the cry of the Negro people for full eman- cipation. Mr, Ochs formeny lived in Tennessee. There he viewed Negro life in its multiforra varieties, There, too, he viewed ‘aw and justice and education as exténded to Negroes. He must have delved deep down inside the cup ‘o have formulated such splendid opinion as he has given to the American public in his editorial of April 17. North and South, black and white, should absorb the lesson, which is one teaching of wholesome cooper- ation, justice, equity, and genuine progress.

The excursionists on board the ‘ain were typical of Metropolitan life. Jew and Gentile graciously smiled at each other. ‘There were no prohibitions against the trans- itory mixing of races, and Nordics and Africs frequently exchanged cigarettes or ate a bon- bon from the same candy box. a As the commotion on the platform in- creased under the steady tread of excursion- ists’ fact, we noticed that either from choice or from necessity, some members of the gent- ler sex were seating themselves in the smoker. Here and there some charming girls, whites, yellows, browns, dark brunettes, and other varie ies of colorful and colorless tints found seats and merrily awaited the conductor's “All Aboard”. . When, to our pleasurable surprise and aesthetic satisfaction, as pretty a brown as we have ever beheld lightly tripped up the car aisie and seated herself in front of us. She was faultlessly dressed from head to foot; and under her rainbow turban there reposed features which would rival those of the world’s prettiest Nordic, Roman nose, big brown eyes,,and baby skin added to the lustre of her beauty.” Hastily we choked out the business end of a great big cigar, the smoke of which was chilting right over the seat occupied by the yetty brown mics.

Gross 2v, of Delaware State College, are holding their annual conference at Greensboro N. C., where they are giving special atten- tion to the question of economic opportunities for Negroes of the South. They are taking up such important topics as the demand for and distribution of skilled Negro workers, male and female, in the hope, it is presumed, of carrying back to their colleges a more de- finitely formulated program for the training of colored youth, thoroughly in consonance with the present and future opportunities of Negro workers, the latter of which must be obviously forced by allied concentration in the cause of a wider field of labor and com- pensation for the black man and woman. Just at this time, North Carotina has as- onichingly risen to the heights of near-parity with Massachusetts in the textile industry; but it cannot be said that the colored worker is gaining any appreciable entrance into the skilled textile ‘rades of the Tar Heel State. Is is to be hoped that the Land Grant Col- lege presidents, holding their conference in North Carolina, let down their buckets where they they were, and impressed North Cai- olina tex ile industries with the great equity «hich could be brought to pass by permitting 10i E.

Some one has said that money is power, and training is money. It follows, therefore, that training is money; but in Negro life, the equation has never as yet been a balanced one. Shapers of Negro advancement have tried to subord- inate training to opportunity, ignoring Abra- ham Lincoln's homely philosophy of “I shall study and prepare myself, and some time my opportunity may come”. Consequently, en- deavors-have frequently been made to ‘imit training to limited opportunities rather than to broaden training and let opportunities take care of themselves, The Land Grant College Presidents should be commended for conferring upon economic opportunities for the Negroes of the South, who are enforcedly a bit behind their BRETHREN of the North in Opportunity, all of whom, however, shou!d be given vol- untary cooperation of all, to the end that the BRETHREN'S economic chances, North and South, Eas! and West, may be ful! and wholesome, based upon merit and endeavor. NEWS! NEWS! WHAT IS NEWS? ‘When a Negro student of Dunbar High School, Washington, D. C., touched up the keyboard of an Underwood Typewriter at the rate of one hundred nine words per min ute, thereby winning the Underwood dia- mond medal for speed and accuracy, which, incidental'y, was the first time that any stu- dent—ANY STUDENT—in America had performed such a feat, it was believed that the youngsters’ performance would be gladly accepted as news,—news of the absorbing progress of American youth. The days of Rose Fritz were recalled, eighty-seven-words per-minute clip. Ouis Blaisdeli and his speed Remington were recalled, when tons of pa- pers were used by the press to describe Blais- dell’'s wonder-fingers. Other typewriting kings and queens, whose exploits sent many a typesetter to bed with a headache, weie recaled to our fading memory. But here, though, was a youthful Negro student, named Cortez Peters, still under in- struction, who had typewrote 109 words a minute, The news was rushed to the local presses by our good friend J. C. Wright. who, incidentally, is the instructor of Peters, a moulder of public opinion, and a Christian gent'eman overflowing with interest in the public welfare. The teacher-newspaper man made a nice story of Peter's amazing per- formance and sent it to the press far and near, particularly ‘o the four great dailies of Washington, D. C. After a few days’ vigil the story of Peter’s Triumph, boiled down. to a miniature, appeared in a semi-concealed corner of one of the Washington dailies. The other three turned it down cold. Alas, to them, such an item was not news. It had no value. But look in them all and we read: “Dry Raiders Take Forty—Nearly All the Pris- oners Were Negroes”. That's news.

(Cleveland O Gazette) Our long-time conferee and friend, Editor John Mitchell of the Richmond (Va.)

As a result of the bank failure, he was accused and convicted in a lower court of "false and fraudulent entries with intent to defraud the Mechanics Savings Bank". The Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia found that no fraud on his part was shown in the lower court and orders a new trial which we feel sure will result in the complete vindication of our long-time friend, John Mitchell has been too long on the "firing line" for our people and has done far too much good, unselfish work for the race for any of us who know him to be able to believe that he would defraud the Mechanics Savings Bank or anything else, especially a business proposition which he headed that meant so very much to the race not only in Richmond but to those throut the country.

Mr. Arendale was found dying on the floor of the office of the Patterson Lumber Company early at night on November 8, 1924. He had been beaten over the head and his eyes gouged out. The Booth woman was arrested after an investigation lasting several days, and it was charged that Mr. Arendale's watch and a bloodrained sweater were found at her home.

The slump is the headache following the debauch. Great is the power of science, which has found a way to prevent death by gas asphyxiation. Oil of red peppers is mixed with the gas in minute, inexpensive quantities. While the gas burns you don't notice it.

Newspapers sai he "defended" such preference but there is no need for defiance. The duty of a nation, its government and its chief executive, is to work for that nation, and for the working people that have created it. The British are not bashful about giving the preference to British workers. In every advertisement you read "British Made," or "British Built." Too many Americans brag about the fact that what they offer is "imported from Egland," as though there were nothing fit to produce or use in this country. If you MAKE your money in America SPEND it in America. Miss Nora Bayes' experience commands respectful attention. Returning with her fifth husband, she says she is on her first real honeymoon, because this husband is a "NO-MAN." The experienced lady divides husbands into the weak "YES-MAN," and the powerful, manly "NO-MAN." The "no-man," as you guess, harks back to the cave and knows how to say "No." A woman likes to be bossed, gets Miss Bayes, and soon gets tired of a "YES-MAN." An interesting definition of husbands, but there is such a thing as saying "NO" too often. Who knows but No. 6 may be another "YES-MAN"? Fowler McCornick, grandson of John D. Rockefeller, and their to a great Harvester Trust fortune, is working as a day laborer in a harvester plant sorting out heavy metal castings. "There's a hero for you," says public opinion. Men succeed and rule other men by the use of the mental MAINSPRING. The three greatest rulers of men in history are Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon. None of them started in as a simple soldier in the ranks. Alexander at thirty was ruler of the world. Caesar started in Roman politics, became a soldier, went to Gaul and crew powerful enough to frighten the Senate, and he ruled the world, including Rome. Napoleon went to a military academy, studied and read books, used his brain, and HE ruled the world. To have a son worth while, give him the best chance you can.

The ranch car, takes off a wheel and forces Salvy to act as ranch owner. Underwood, the owner of the ranch was in the car which they held up until Salvy was unintentionally searching the country side for the 'bandits' who held up Salvy. Salvy and the Wreck finally succeed in making an escape in their own car. Now, Salvy is a ruttical trail owner to the left. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Shall we try it?" she yawned. "Get in." He turned the fliver at a sharp angle and they left the main road. The new route began climbing a rise immediately, then dipped into a gutch. The Wreck found himself forced to drive with care, for there were sharp turns every few yards. "There are lots of these old roads in this part of the country," commented Sally. "Most of them lead to names that never passed out." After some ten minutes of slow, but thrilling travel, she suggested a road. "This ought to be far enough," she said. "There are two ridges between ce and the main road." The Wreck stopped the car. The abrupt silencing of the motor left them in a stillness that was fairly startling. The place was dark, too, for there was a heavy growth of trees all about them, and the spreading light in the eastern sky did not reach them. As they sat for a minute trying to get the feel of their environment, Sally's hand crept over and sought the Wreck's arm. She was not nervous, yet exactly, but the touch of her reassured her. "When the fingers clutched him with his muscles tense under the grip. 'Did you hear that?' she whispered. He had heard. It was the soft neck of a horse. She sprang to her feet, steadying herself against his shoulder, and her eyes began searching in the gloom. An instant later she bent her head. "There's a little fire off through the trees—to the right," she said, in low voice. "We have run into "It's got," said the Wreck. He was climbing up. "Or, when she clutched him again." "Walt! I can hear somebody; coming. You'll never be able to turn around in this place." He, too, could hear footsteps off on the brush. Reaching forward to the dash, he switched off the lights. "Turn them on!" commanded Caly. "We're caught anyhow, and Caly, being to go in the dark." He lifted the lights on again, and they waited. The footsteps were cautious, but they were still approaching. "Put the gun away," she whispered, as she saw him fumbling with it. "It's not loaded and you'll only get us into trouble. You can't run that kind of a bluff on Bob Wells, anyhow." "Who?" "Who else? Why, it's almost certain. Oh, of all his luck! We've plumb him in. You let me do the talking. Henry, Williams." The wreck were peering. JUST as Sally's fingers were digging into his arm until he was ready to growl a protest, a voice from the front shouted, "Let's get better. let's get right up in."

Howard Watt the air—quick." Sally raised her hands promptly, and the Wreck followed suit, after she commanded him. Into the back glare of the head- lights stepped a man who carried a rifle that looked ready for work. "One of 'em's a woman," he called, evidently addressing somebody behind him. He was no answer from the rear. It seemed that the matter of conversation had been left wholly in his hands. "We'll take the pedigree," said the man with the rifle. "Any relation to the Sheriff?" "Plenty of relation," said Sally, promptly. "We want to see him." There was a chuckle by way of answer. "Sure you're lookin' for the sheriff?" he inquired. "I kind of guy's asleep and don't want to get hurt." "You lead me to Bob Well," said Sally. "I'm going to step out of this car, and if you start anything with that gun you'll wish you'd be there." The Wreck followed her, and they stood beside the fliver, with a rife "WHERE IS THE SHERIFF?" DEMANDED SALLY. "WHERE IS THE SHERIFF?" DEMANDED SALLY. muzzle not more than a yard distant from them. "I'll talk to Bob Wells and nobody "I certainly am. And I'd advise you not argue about it." I couldn't tell, but I was collecting it. could not hear, yet it conveyed the idea that his mind was in doubt. The Wreck remained passive during the colloquy. He did not need Sally's caution. Whatever might be required of him, he felt that the time was not yet. Besides, he was sure that Sally had the right idea. There was no need for dealing with subordinates when Bob Wells was on the ground. He was quite willing to face the sheriff. "Lead me to the sheriff," said Sally. There was a suppressed laugh from the figure that held the rife. "I'll lead you," he said. "Come to think of it. I figure you'd better lead yourselves. You just heat for that camp-ire and I'll keep walking behind you. Not that I forget I'm carying a gun. Not that it makes any difference to me, but it might make Sally set off in the lead stumbling through the brush in the direction of the cmp.

It was a very small, disorderly and informal sort of camp, Sally discovered as soon as she put foot within the glow of dying embers. "There was no tent; there was no sign of an establishment that contained even ordinary comforts. But there two men with their hands, and studying up in their blankets, studying up in their blankets with hard eyes. "Well, who you got there, Lefty?" inquired one of the men on the ground. "Parties lookin' for the sheriff." observed Lefty, with a somewhat exaggerated wink. The asker of questions arose to his feet for a better survey of the visitors. He was a large man and his most conspicuous feature was a broken nose. Sally and the Wreck came to learn that his companions called him Nosey. "Where is the sheriff?" demanded Sally, but this time she did not say it with any confidence. A sudden misgiving had assailed her. "We ain't figurin' to meet up with the sheriff today," remarked Nosey. "This is not camp, then?" "No; you might say it isn't." Sally glanced at the Wreck. "Well, Henry, I suppose we'd better be going," she said. He nodded and was turning to lead the way, when he found the muzzle of Lefty's riffle sticking into his ribs. "You two better set down awhile," said Nosey, who seemed to be a person of authority. "Lefty, you just keep your eye on the lady and gent. Denver, I wanna talk to you." The third man climbed out of his blankets and followed Nosey. They went beyond earshot. The guard motioned Sally and the Wreck to seats on the ground and placed himself opposite them at a little distance, his back against a tree. The rifle lay ready in his hand. "I'm afraid we've blundered," whispered Sally. "What do you make of this bunch?" asked the Wreck. "That's so," nodded Sally. "But I was all ready for him. Now I don't know just what we're up against." Daylight was coming rapidly in the untidy camp, and the more Sally saw of the place the less she liked it. There was only one inference, of course; they had stumbled into some kind of a gang, very likely the same gang for which Bob Wells was searching. Fine luck! Nosey and Denver rejoined the group. "What's the idea?" demanded the Wreck. "Prisesers." "Maybe," said Nosey, who looked thoughtful. "Well, if it's rebbery, you don't stand to win very much." "What's the game, comin' in here by the shepherd?" asked Nosey. "You friends of him." said Sally, cautiously. "We know him," said Sally, cautiously. "That's plain enough. You were called him by name awhile back. You were for him." Sally and the Wreck said "No" together. "I ain't so sure," mused Nosey. "He might think it was a smart trick, gettin' a woman to help play the game. I reckon you know the sheriff's out around here somewhere with a poss?" "We heard so," admitted Sally. "Do you know who he's lookin' for?" "I suppose he's looking for you, isn't he?" "Well, you might say so." "You won't find us the least bit of use to you," said Sally. "You might as well turn us loose. And if we run into the sheriff we won't say anything." Nosey shook his head incredulously. "How come you're off the road, up in here?" he inquired. "What fetched you? No; I figure we ain't goin' to turn you loose right yet." 23 What you are as soon as you are out of bed. 35 What Abe Lincoln pulled the pig out of. 36 Cupid's best friend. 3p Half man, half beast. ...

Re ee re A eer Tanne a eae Dr. Hatcher tries to decoy us from the issue by injecting a deliverance on the Virgin Birth in which he gets a chance to say things that are “popular” but not pertinent to our discussion, I simply refuse to move on to another issue before we settle the simple matter of whether this man boasting of learning and degrees and q'that really believes his doctrine of "a four-cornered earth and a mov ing sun”. "In his advocacy of this doctrine ‘we doubt his sincerity but feel he is rather desirous of attracting atten: tion to himseif: for a casual exam- ‘ination, of his deliverances indicates that he takes himself seriously for, he speaks much about “large crowds" and “congratulations” and “‘collect- jons” and “auditoriums” and “white ministers on the platform” ‘with him eic. Because of these unfailing re- ferences to the great things he is diving We suspect that what ails him is either pernicious intellectual anem- ja or he has a “popularity complex”. Whatever the ailment is, it seems deep-seated and complicated and we feel that surgery end not sulve must be the ultimate remedy and we are speaking plainly lest this minister contributes to his own undoing as weil as to his community's chagrin. If possible this man should be saved for the cause of intelligence, REASONS FOR THe CRITICISM, Dr. Hatcher waxes vehement and asks, “Why this howl"? We shall proceed forthwith to apprise him as to the whyness of this “howt”. First, Wecause 4 perfectly possible minister of our common community has be come an impossible fame-hunter. Second, because it is humiliating to Richmond in particular and the Negro race in general to have a Negro boasting of learning and college de: grees and ministering to a great con- sregation in a great city openly and with calculation aforethought advo- cating the sensational doctrine of “a four-cornered earth and a moving sun". Third, because this avowed Fundamentalist shows himself in his writings to be so utterly short on fundamentals and yet he claims ever to believe in the “whole Bible”. If he so believes in the whole Bible and its literal interpretation by what stroke of language or logic does he justify himself with a baptism short of immersion? (This question is de- signed for Dr, Hatcher only). ...... Fourth, because openly he is trying to exploit the fame of the immortal Jasper hefore the eyes of those who hold Jusper’s name as a sacred mem- ory. Dr. Hatcher tells how he has been “congratulated” byt this is how one of John Jasper’s members esti- mates Dr, Hatcher's “efforts”, In passing down Broad Street Saturday morning, I chanced to meet a very dear old lady who reveres the name of Jasper. I asked her if she had heard Dr. Hatcher preach his “sun ‘does move’ sermon”, to which she PHE RIMM MOA) BI AAT Tere CO Oras Forty-Five Meals a Day to Feed This’ Family <=.

The doc: trines advocated by Dr. Hatcher are suited to churches situated on a “spur track”” but certainly not to churches on a main line, The foregoing are our reasons for “howling”. ‘A QUESTION OF CROWDS. “Dr, Hatcher seems to justify his doctrines by telling of. “large crowds’ —"seven hundred ete.” who heard the sermon. He seems to forget how: ever that his crowd would be large if he were doing sleightof hand stunts or walking a slack rope or doing the “human fly stuff”, Or, if he preached « sermon from’ the sub- ject, “First One Thing and Then Another”, in which he discussed “tweedle-dee”on the one hand and “tweedie-dum” on the other, his crowds would not only be large but he would have “congratulations” and an occasional convert. His second justification seems to be a “white minister will be on the platform” with him, To this we re- ply that it takes more than the mere presence of a white man on the plat- form to convince intelligent _Rich- mond of the truth of the doctrine of “a four-cornered earth and a moving sun” and this fact alone does not save our colored community from humiliation at the hands of the man who should be seeking to bolster our pride. Richmond is not as sleepy as it seems and personelly I expect no riot for entrance to the Auditorium Sun: day P.M, for some may have my seat. If a crowd should turn out-- and T have no quarrel with them if they do—I hope they are looking for a revival rather than a “Jollifieation meeting’, People like to be jollied. If anyone is converted on the doc trine of “a four-cornered earth and a moving sun" they deserve salvation for theirs is great faith—greater than was ever found in Israel. A FINAL CASTIGATION, Inso far as Dr. Hateher is a devout sincere minister of the Gospel, I-re- spect him, but wherein he turns fame hunter, I pay him the following com- piiment: ‘When he tries to use John sasper's fame ag.q stepping stone to his own, he presents the picture of a pismy trying on the boots of a colossus. As a claimant to scholarly distinction, he is a stupendous impossibility and a brisfing failure; as a theologian, he is a persistent and a vague excuse; as a member of an intelligent com- munity he fs a chronfe affliction and an inconvenience; as a polemicist he is the poor imitation of a wriggling sophist, and as a fame-+hunter he is just an “ordinary bother". ‘Dr, Hateher’s defense has a “fiat tire’, May Dr, Hatcher “behave himself” before Richmond in sheer self-defense demands it, EEE LETT LLP GIVEN IN LOVE, HEALTH BUSINE’S—Your Life Problems Solved.
