not a churchman and may .not be

"The Nfcgro Church is the most
powerful and potentially, the most
"effective medium we possess; trte
most powerful agency we comrnand
for moving forward the Race

an Intelligent, highminded,
upright ministry; and that kind of
ministry the Churchy must have.The

fore him as best he could. All
honor to him for what he accomplished,
but the- day of the ignorant

Now I have quoted. Mr. Johnson
because his words are in line with
my own Jerusalem . Letter. The
Connectiona!1 Divinity Schuul?rwtr
proppse ^should, I. think, . include
studies in the eight grade, high
school, 'college and the Divinity
part mixed through'lt" a)l. It shp.uld
^ .,ljave a faculty composed of the
/,. most thoroughly trained, Bible-.
' '* knowing, and Bible-believing men
and women that can be found, or
made; it should have a daily service
of one hour, that conducted by
a person selected to the faculty
for 'this purpose rorfIy; this- ,manner
as a part of everv student
should be compelled to attend in
order to secure credits.
There are so many very splendid
young men, who desire to enter,
tht? ministry and have had opportunity
in grammar seljool-onlx-Tipr
to the seventh or eight grade, because
of short school terms in.
some states, especially in rural
_ section, that we should include at
least the eight grade in the Con
even here in the grades and-hightrr?school
the teachers should he _ of
the very highest type as t0 taste,
fitness, character and intellectual
training; together with a firm belief
in Christianity ?nd love for
the African Methodist Episcopal

?>o many nuiTjsters^atrTTot know
how to conduct the opening and
closing services in cuch~ir way as
to create and leave and impressive,
, spiritual atmosphere around the
auditors that, as . stated above,
some one should t>e elected to the
faculty for no other purpose than
- to eonduetr^such a service daily for
one hour. And this should not be

sincere men and women,
should l>e considered or tolerated
no difference who- is "behind

School should have an air that her
graduates should go forth with a
deep sense and high regard for
moral and spiritual standards. I
trust I never become narrowminded
nor intolorent but my deep
conviction is, that our leadership,
both lay and ministerial, must
have higher morals ideals, at least
as regards sex relations. Why is
it becoming to be a light matter
?and taken as being alright to in~
t. dulge in sex promiscuity. But
what about Motherhood, and Wifehood.
and Sisterhood and Woman-'
^ hood of the Race? What has the
Divinity School and its-Faculty to
do with this? asks o^ne. My an- |
?wer ?a r-.veryr.nmg. 1 ne youth
should be taught that must at i
least, "Shun the Appearepce of j
evil." Some' young men vtere ,

Texas Centennial Central
Exposition ToShow
Progress
of Negroes
Dallas, Texas. June 29?Texas,
In next year's siUto-Wldl" uui'iIuim
"nial celebration, will beb the first
-state-in- the union to recognize the
'^pFopress. achievements and history
I of the Negro by according the
Mnprn raer> n prnrpinent nart in a
world's fair of international proportions.
" Commemorating the one-hundreth
anniVversary of Texas Independcnce.
the Texas Centennial
will be a state-wide birthday
party, with celebrations at scenes
of. historic interest throughout the
state and climaxed by the 515,OO0r
000 Texas "Centennial Exposition
in Dallas which will open June 6,
1936.
mi 1 m
me ;exas centennial has requested
of the Unttcd States
government .the sum of $3,000,000
for Federal participation In tlTtr
State Celebration and has specifically
requested an allocation of
' *300,ff00 for the construction of a
"Negro Building. Botirhouses of
Congress have approved the request
and it is believed the money
- will be forthcoming as soon as the
appropriation hill is passed,No
great national exposition
has ever before given the Negro
such a prominent role and it is expected
that Negro visitors from
all parts of the United States will
be attracted to the southwest. The
Texas Centennial Central Exposition
will of course set aside a
special day and date for Negro
recognition, Negro Day will probably
be set for June 19th, which
day, for more than sixty years has
been . observed as Texas Emancipation
Day.
? The Negro Building < at the
tion is planned as a perpetual Negro
Memorial on the exposition
grounds. The structure will house
exhibits of Negrtr'art, dramatics,
music and cultural and scientific
achoivements. There will be sjacm'rihtin'fr
amt lecture halls, and
-the leaders of Negro thought and
progress from all narts iyf the
nation will be invited to ITdllas to
deliver addresses, and ' lectures.
There will be display of Negro
art and there will be recitals to be
pnrHcipntnH in by famous Negro
-musical ogranizations. Negro colleges
and school throughout the
country will be asked to participate
in the Texas Centennial by
sending exhibits. . Murals -will
depict the history of the Texas Negro
frijui' the days of the-Republic
oiinfil tVio T\rncnnt ^oto
The request for the Negro Building
at Tevas Centennial was made
because" Texas <vell realizes the indispertdable
part played by the Negro
in agricultural and industrial
development of the. State. Texas
has a population of about a million
Negroes, law-abiding, industrious
and generally prosperous.
The white residents of Texas realize
that the broad eotten fields
and spreading plantations of the
State, which for a hundred years
have constituted the basis of Lone
Star prospertiy fould not iixist
without the aid of the Negro.
The Tevfls. Cpntonnial Central
Exposition will pay tribute to the
ndispensable part played by the
Negro in the upbuilding . of the
state and the cultural development
of the l-ace not only in. Texas
but throughout the nation.
Summer School
Students In
Vocal Recital
Orangeburg, July 1?A large
crowd of State College musid fans
assembled in White Hall auditorium?this
?^evening to hear Mrs.
Blanche T. Washington, beautiful
sopranist, in the first recital of
the session.
The affair was very succssful.
Interpreting the, numbers of
famous' composers, among whom
were Burleigh and Johnson, Mrs.
Washington displayed excellent
training in the control of her rich
voice. At the conclusion of her
final number, "By and By", a
spiritual, the audience vociferously
expressed its Teluctance to depart
until the charming young
singer returned with an encore.
Mrs. Washington, a native of ,
Beaufort, is attending summer j
school at State College. She was
accompanied in the recital by Misg
Gladys Thomas who is in charge
of the music department here for
the summer. ' Miss Thornas7 regularly
emplayed by the famous
music dtpartment of Bennett College,
appears in an organ recital
at State College on the evening of
July 15th.
