WALKER ROUND ; 0 For the past two weeks in this place suggestions have been made as to" ways arid nteans whereby Cofumbia's colored citizenry may become a more self-respecting citizenry. It is hoped that what has been said has not fallen on deaf ears, because a newspaper's reasons for being is to make people think, and awaken them from their lethargy?if perchance they have fallen into such a state. I have been thinking for the past few days about the alleged Christianity of our group in this city. We claim to be a very religious people?a very P.Vi rief Ian nonln T J-J ? -V- I'VJ/IV. ?? licit X Ullt'IlUt'U ehilrch last Sunday the minister asked a^^ ^ ^Iy^ ^ should stand. Thei'fe ~was not a per son according ta. jwy oboorvation? that kept his seat. That is typicla of what happens whenever such a question is asked by a minister. Of course to niy way of thinking such questions are Moronic, because the average person of our group hasn't moral stamina enough to disavow his belief in something that thfe mob has taken hold of. He is afraid of the anathema tha will be pronounced upon him in the event he is courageous enough to disclaim connection with the church. V - ? Be that as it may, what we are, dealing with hefe is -the overt testimony given by nearly all our folk that" they are Christians. If the Negroes tians really are; then beyond peradventure, there is something radically wrong with Christianity. - You ask, ; !' * * I suppose, why so radical a statement! Among your acquaintances how many are there who refuse to listen to, or disseminate scandal a! htere who would rather hear somet Vi i r* cr o*nn/l i n nraforanao f A enmafViinn disgraceful that you or anyone else has done? How many are there w^io would rather see you. .succeed in some I worthy endeavor than fail ? How j*many are there who would applaud , you in the event of your passing them I in the race of life? How many are ) t"heye who in the event of your indictII mcnt on some grave charge would be willing to. suspend their /judgment until all the .evidence is in, and not say at onco: "I knew the rascal was guilty all the time?" I venture to answer the questions for yoiT Few". Yes, there a few who are possessed of that magnanimous spirit and those few are less vociferous about their religion?their Christianity, than the howling mob whose cry s "Blood." There is too much sham and pre.tense on the part of our colored c-iti* ~ "Ztrns~"Wherrthe real spiritrof Christ is developed among us and expressed through our lives, teh realization of our dreams will take place. We wilf then be real and not pseudo-Christians. MEMORIAL SERVI. I7AU TVT> T ATTXT \j?iO r uiv jL/rv. juni> SON,M.W.G.M. The local lodges and Oueen Esther Chapter O. E.
