PHI Lit Ofte Marries And Another Buries-Jj y \ ' *' - ,i It One of the most unreasonable and ' t , inexplainable things mnonK the youngji Negroes of today is to have the Pro- < i " 1 bate Judges perform their marria^. < ceremonies and thb ntinisters'ffie bur-vi rial ceremonies. In this Ahey have' i --u? drifted far from- their: great grand -f ' mothers and fathers, who according a to tradition would "jump over a 1 T hrnnm" m an --?et nf ?I mony before they would allow, other e than a minisjter of the gospel tb per- t form sdch a sacred service for them. I don't know of a more important I ceremony in all the world than the ^ marriage ceremony. So much so un- r - til it is nronounci'd "H?>lv d And to my mind no man on earth is c better fitted to perform such ceremony t than a consecrated minister'-of the ' gospel. In many cases probate jud, ges are not even chtrrch members, to say nothing about being christians*! Christianity is not acquirement ofv :a Probate Judge, but it is the first-,y , and foremost requirement of a gospel . j minister. Yet-this- new day Negro L chooses the former for marriages a^yl I, ^ and the latter for burials, . Marriage L ceremony has to do with the begin-'s ning of life, the home, the forming of j , character and race buildings while fhe , burial ceremony has i>nlv t. <! . j the end. . It means nothing to the one t . .oxer which it is . performed-,-? AmP-'j * these latter day Negro'es in selecting (, a non professor of religion to unite j a them in the "holy matrimony" which c .. is "being joined together, by Gixl" j shows just about hpw much they have y considered the seriousness of the mar- s riage situation. No marriairgs-^ ?arsr-ltiokod*"U|5oh "so slightly pin this j 'day and are such miserable failures. y . I don't blame the -officer the"least l?it. For if I were a probate, judge I would j marry all J could just s\,s- they do. It y would be simply -a-manep of money, y .Notwithstanding, a colored probate ( ' judge, could only perform .marriage a ceremonies for cbloreii.'people. ..But | if there was an associate colored probate judge. at evereopnty seat, 1 J, hold that colored people ought not , hang around tip. court house to be y married. Go to the mipistertk home ; Zl~~TT.. ,4 -or have htm eo.n|e to yhtii s*. or where-' ever you desire, and perform this sq- q cred task. Parents should discourago. y their children marrying -at-^JioHfourt \ -house. Jf they must" have the judge, j let him tome to their h?ones"! I can- t. not see 'anything "reverently." and ; "discreetly" about marriages '' when . they are performed' at any ymCatbi; kinds of places and -in- evorv kind of i way. Borne argue that the. probate , _ judges in performing marring,. eery .-- monies are. only assisting the. minis- j ters in the discharge of their1 duty. , Well,-so far, so. .good.'But now', if the () ~probate judges would only bury all of those whom they marry, then the min j, ister could appreciate the assistance,, j But to take the living 1>odies with j money tp the Probate to be marries! ^ and the dead bodies with r- bine:, .te thh minister, to be buried'. is un.reasonable., It shows that s.-riv c.ifprex) people are still thinking in -hallow terms and are. in great -need of supc.: , rior training; . . * .

DIXON Ilendvrsonville, N. C.?I desire?t< write-a few words uf respect to a fini gentleman, and a splendid orator, it the person of the Rev. Allen T. Dixor of your city, who delivered a very fitting address in this city on Emancipation Day which surpassed any delivered here in former years. I makt this statement without the least bil of flattery. We have educators today who seem tp be ashamed of slavery and consequently try--to stamp it from "their memory, as they usually overeise a big influence, over the masses they lire.too often successful in causing them to lose interest in the cause, and iccasion. I have heard Emancipation Day speakers deliver addresses and they mentioned emancipation So seldom that one woujd think they were lecturing on a different subject. Not so with Rev. Dixon, for he began with, a review of slavery and ondod up still discussing the history connected with it which was very interesting and educational. His address was the result of his having made a careful study and research,of matter pertaining to our 0racc.. in" bondage again as a free raee. ' -TTe held the interest of his audience at the same time winning the well wishes .of all who heard him. It is for this reason that I take the liberty of trying to inform him as well as the good people of South Carolina of the popularity he has won here. Wo pre indeed grateful to Rev. E. B. King for having brought Him to our city and we will assure him that tinte he and the madam may find it convenient to visit this oitv -~ ' -?r^EugeneG; Jones.

CLEVELAND, OHIO ...It is intended to be to the body as the grace of God is to the soul. That is, tohelp every one who touches it. It is not destructive in its nature but uplifting. The time has come for us lis a race to try to help ourselves. Heaven helps those who help themselves, hut hurts. nobody by word nordeed.

Character, is the foundation on which all other principles are'built. Stand by it beyond any unreasonable doubts. j We need to. begin thinking how we cap better the condition of the man who digs the ditch; how we can help the most humble laborer. We need to begin thinking one about the other. The -Bible says, "help us to help each other Lord, each others cross to bear.", It also says, "where there is unity j 'pore , is strength. And it plainly says that a house divided against itself, it cannot stand. If we ever expect to succeed as a, race \ve niUst put these things into, practice daily. Our resource is among ourselves. If we ever rise, we will rise on our resources and n,ot on the other fellows-. To my mind.it can be best taught through an organization.' These are the powers that net on the levers that move the world. These^ are the keys that unlock the doors to commerce and enterprises. This is helping yourselves, other people are getting tired of helping us.
