Saturday, August 28, 1926. I We'll Put Him in hisC REV. ALBERT 1 > ?# *? ? . ? t,*m /tat. AA A A . . A A.V>,A A An expression like the one^Svhich heads this article, ts never made by first-handed people. Such an exprespeople. grummond defines the pary a^ite^as being a pauper J of* nature. T^e parasite is a form of life which will not take the trouble to find "Its own food, buti borrows or steals from the more industrious. The social par. fistte is one among the most danger ous persons in any group. He nevet' produces anything. He is too nice to work. His hands are st) important _ that We can only touch those things that others have pajdj. lUp^. price for. He is always so .important thatj everybody must regard it an honor to work for him or to let. .him sponge on them*" He staifnds' at the head of .the heap where no work is in . sight. He stands for the best there' is where no work is demanded. I his fatterition is direted to any honest tvork to be gone,, he gets excited ai once and then he complains that h<i has been insulted. The social parasite is never morally strong. He likes to rough-shod it over weak women who are unprotected. Oh, he can stand *fbrth?before the public and fool the crowd ^with the dope that:. "I'll dLe for tffy{ women. No?man?breathes _ the breath of . life who will - go f urther in protecting my women than, I will go." Any man who/dares insqlt one of them I'll smash litis head artd eat his socks for him.')! Z?? . As a rule this same scoundrel iifes two or three children by one or Uycl splendid young women r neither Jof . , whdm are married. Wften he Tis "re" minded of this fact, he falls back on the fact that: *"I am a gentleman, I dare you to touch my character and I'll put you in the jug. How dare you touch my character? I'll put you in your class." Well, what class; is he'ih? He * is in a,class in whigh parasites live. He has never produced anything. He ha* ,pnly hitched ? himself to-others who h3ve ' a little something. And, tbpre as a parasitic pauper, .he hurls his darts -of deceit" and rascality at those wh0 are vrtfFRing out their own salvation while he sTumbers, pulTs and blows otf of the'honest labors of others that cost * him nothing. -Nice fellow he is, of course.. . T * "i tirr,e ago, I'ctime in Contact with a man "and his wife who ran" a ! disorderly house and who illegally sold whiskey. They rah the gamut of fines aad other such things that follow such a^life. After having hous-" ed other jpen's wives and daughters in their home for immoral purposes 1 for sometime, thej? banked quite a bit of money After they had, saved up some money off of the shame and disgrace of others, they then decided to move away f?>m-the-^haunts-of?vice in which they had lived and robbed others, and with their ill-gotten gain, force those from whom they had taken it to bow to them. Again and again those wh0 had bought whiskey from them, approached their home," only to be repulsed aruT pushed aside. A j gaui and again, the women who had once met other men in their home, visited them, only to-be slighted and "pushed aside.- Then it, was that the woman of the^hbuse said: "We'll put them in the^ class if they bother'us." Now, what class could they put them, in ? Thev themselves were, panderers to vice amd 'immorality. They had'made their money that way. The ' taint pi lust and sin had placed their stain^on every dollar they had made. Now that tiiey had bled their victims t0 deaths~<jthey exclaim": ')We'H put them in tbeir class, if they bother us." Such parasitic vultures as the ones in question are to be found in all of the walks of life among usJ They always want- to pu?_ swmTone| else in a cla^^J?i?rTHey are alwaysJ careful t,o conceal the class to which they belong. I have known these agents of hell to go to a respectable "V'Hi'W4". "miv.iv cue muiiitH" ?u tne trying to raise some respect Sv^Yni?wgjrls. Another man had sentj .^0" ftllll hOW6r on an" errand of death. She would k laugh anj chat with the mother of those girls," all_j the time trying to gpt in a word with those girls alone; The unsuspecting motffer would finally leave the reom, " and just as "soon as her back was turned, the following conversation took place: "Say, a fine young man wishes to speak to you at my house. He is there pow. He is one of the nicest men I know of. He is- a gentleman, I wai^t you to meet hrm. You need not say anything to your mother about it. Just come on over ,>'** to my place and have a good time.! So far as money is concerned, he has that to burn." You know that I would not take you into anything without V- . taking eare of you. Will you tome?" The little innocent thing., answered^ "Yes, I'll be there." She went once, again and "again. Well, what result' V 4" I . ' ?~ ..ill, I ) lass If He Bothers Us , I L LONG, D. D. I ed from her going? She is a ulldedged street woman now anj her mother's heart is brokefc. ? Well, what is the dirty woman doing who betrayed her? Oh! she is a lady nota. She has a nice house. She has it comfortably furnished. Her whole effort flow is to keep her Tolfmer pals in vice in their places, t She often exclaims: "If they bother with mef I'll put them in ifceir idass." "Thpy ought to know .hat I have money. They have none and they never will have liny." Well how did she get her money? AnsVer: Selling the virtue of otkwjr foolish women and girls to the,"highest bidder. A fine calling.' o/ course. It is funny t0 see a big preacher tfy to put a little preacher iri his class. Well, after buying up a godless grafting bunch, they land him ^t a metropolitan" appointment. After he puts on his spurs, he then begins to swell with importance'. First, Re discovers That no one caxrTMt:ihal~pu!pit but himself. Whenever the little preacher miunows come around, they are pushe?f back. "Say, man^ Qo you not know that you cannot fill this place? You will have to step back. I am sorry. Men of-your ability, have not the stull that this d'6Wd W&ttlS. They would chase me out of here if Iptrt Noiv, whrntrjdid he get what he pfetcuds to have from ? Where has he been ? - -It?matters not where he has been, there is one thing about it, and that is, he is going to make a tool of himself. His dose comes tn him in this way. He is weighed in the scales of manhood and-it is found out that- he ' has none. His Intellectual measure is taken, and it is found out^that he is a fool. Now the same crow(i that caused him to swell uf vyith false pride now strip him of everything and tell him to his face that we do not want you. Well, he was put into a class, into which class he did not belong. Now circumstances over which he can c have no- control finds the elass for .him to which he belongs. Now the little preachei whom he scorned takes the place he had. Yes, he comes to his senses but it is too late. He was so anxious te put the other fellow in his class thai he has really put himself into the class to which he belongs. This "pu him into his class business" is px>' | carried on by Christian peopled It-n carried on by the biggest hypocrite: (dn any community in which it- ? fountk Whenever this bunch of hy! pocrites fights their way to the heat of any church, it is farewell Brothei I Hun. The^jig is up"~at that plaqe No sinners out of Christ need evjei apply at that pluoe for any thihg nape I aTficket to" hell. : Commercialized _religion is firmlj (established in ?U such Or reaching many places these days, th< first?thing one is told: "Well, if y01 want to do any good in this place yoi will have to see Mr. Sfo and So. H< is one of thQ biggest men we hav? here. Unless! you can get his en dorsement you can accomplish noth ing in this plaice. 'Well, after a whih one may decide to see the ''Big Stiff' about whom so much is saidZ H( looks you over and sizes you up. H< parades hirpself before you so tha you may see just how large he is He then impresses you with Jhe influ -imce- that he^has. Sayshe-?"Now Brother, if you will follow me and d< as I tell vou to ?lor vnii ran not fail Success waits upon my word here The best white folks listen 'to me i ne "niggers" will do what I tell then to do. You look -as you and I coult pull together. You let "me manage^ business. You set still and let-every thing stay just_as^-^Tave^it. If yoi jlixM*** you will have nothing to fear However, if you change things fron -tW way "they srnnowrybu^arelTodmet at this place. "Now the first thinj you will find out is that the scoundre in question has sought to buy up ev ery commercial women id his group The second thing you-will find ou1 is that he has placed human watch dot on your Trail so~as to kee^ in toucl with your movements. Now if yoi happen to be that type of man wh< thinks for himself, ypu will have th< fight of your life at that place. Nov the type of man in question has nevei b^en converted. Just as soon as the rascal in ques tion gets angry with you the firs thinghe bellows forth is: "Well, il ne Dotners wim us and our plans we'll put him in his class." The hard worked teacher and thou sands of other over-worked honesl women of our group are often sorelj tried by the "flappers" among us Like Ah Sin, the Chinaman, fronr ways that are vain and "tricks thai are dark, they come forth all bedeck ed up with finery yid costly fixture! that are fit fQr a queen. They flauql -these things in the face of other p6o pie who itttFT?ave left a sense of de . - - , JSf ? K - THE PALMffl j cency. They visit low (white men I in their camps of lust and sin, and ithen they run between twosins with flobby and lustful Negro men, then ! they come'' forth with^ the goods on | them, They come forth ' with the , Boston -twiat or with the New -YorJt swing. If oite did net know them, he would be led- to believe that they really representee sopiethingT'Uut "if one will only low his or her ears to tho criitinH unn will rtllo wi I frain from some lqw white man or ! from some wobbly Negro: -^Say, she I looks nice in th&se togs I gave. ! Look, how she swings. I paid $25.00 ! for that outfit she has on. However, I ought not -v$o tell you all of this ' about her, for she is IS nice woman. Did you ever hear her pray ? Man j she can put up some prayer. I must 1 be a "Big-Nigger""to be able to have ,|a friend JttfcCthat." Well, when you I get a glimpse of his wife and children j you will find that they are poorly ; clad. After a while she hears of what is being said about her. Now she bellows forth: "If I hear just another word from those "jiggers," TIL put them in their class, t Well they know tlje class to which erned. about the class to which they . belong ? None of us^ need put on ;i any ..airs about what we have today. JIME will finally put us into .the ! class to which we belong.
