a member of a church and usually I '

not becausebelieve that I have
_more religion than many others who
do not, but because I find there better

I attend church I am a much better

attend church, too, because I find my

I realize that the Negro Church is
corrupt, but it is not beyond the point
of redemption. Most of the corruption,
moreover, has developed from
the unusual opportunity which the
institiuftion offers for 'doing great _
things; and too many politicians are
going into the church to use this opportunity
for self-aggrandizement.
They promote the division of the people
into factions to make it easier to
exploit them. -Thi^-is-HQ-reason'JLor
trying to crush the church. It is .
rather a reason for gomg.intoi it- to reform
it and to use it for the good ? *
of the people. We should not be so
foolish as to burn down the barn to > .
get the rats which are destroying <
some of the grain.
