Philip Ellis III X~ " . fh A Shocking Appeal v The Interdenominational Union.. " of Charleston and vicinity was taken on surprise at 'one of its regular meeting's when a one Mr. ! Nfurph-fwhite) appeared before it, ' --J --i 1 ' una asKcu inu tuupcittviou ui v??v ^ colored ministers of Charleston to assist him in an'effort to get alh of "the non-going Cjhureh Negroes =. 7- to be contacted, and brought un- j der religious influences, so as to . become identified?with Seme de- i( nomination. He said it was alarm.< ing to know the mulWtnte of Negroes in thvs city who have no con cern for God nor regard for the ? church cur the Lord's, day. The gentleman making the request was a u, layman who tvqs in charge of the d; Bible Class of the First; Baptist tl Church of the city. He did not a simply make an appeal but secur- j<ed a place from the city authori- vi _ _ ties whore the work is to carried. I> on without a penny's expense ~orT "ft the part of the colored people. We'd must admit that every thing ' he -B said about the Negroes here i s H true in all other cities. And \vhen R Christian workers from white congregations take the initiative in r-'i Negroes' salvation 'it shows that _w Negro ministers and- church- cornmunicants are* asleep on their jobs P This is am awful indictment. De- hi plorable as it is, I am inclined to S think it's true. Many church peo- B pie among Negroes?man&e&t no r< interest whatever in those who are d unconcerned. They don't encourage H their own families to come t o[b Christi to say nothing about those, si of their neighbors,. That accounts E - very largely for the distressing conditions among Negroes. White ti peopie"" outmfmber Nefgroes by faf Tf in attending church, the result is i* they are receiving more blessings it from God. The people who do more ' for God will gut more from TJod whether they bo black or white. To _ be continued. . . ? si a Avoid Embarrassments a In states where segregation "Vx-^d* ist oar people should endeavor to tl comply with the regulations gov- h erning those states.

And when they tf meet then they must stand up. y The white people nor the author- p jtiei dare not order the Negroes rr I MAYBE SO AN (By W. H. S RRAZEN The finest thing in the world is i record of stainless character, a i?cord on no page of which may >e found a blot of crime. The per fon "who has such a record should ank first. Next to the clean-recond people ihould be placed that person who laving blurred hrs record, repents md-spends-the balance of his days reepinpr attt^yrother-pageB clean; 31ean-record people FIRST; pentent people SECOND. But what, you ask, has that to lo with your subject?brazen audicity? Well,-I'll tell you. If you vill look about you?look in your :hurch and in your community, /ou will see some people whose ecords you lOTaw have boen pret* ;y dirty and black. You will find something else perhaps; these same people are busy all the time ceeping themselves in the limei-ght. Some of them are occupyng places which othCTS deserve; lome of them have the brazen aU(dicity to try to lead their supeiors. You will see the sinner vho belongs tn the second - class 'orcing^-htmsehf into the places of iiv \.icaa-i vvuiu lvms Ul cue in si lass. Now, do you know what o jgiVe up iheir seats. Now as ong as this law has been in exigence it seems that every Ncfero n the world ought know it und ibptilif know where to sit when hey get on busses. So often they jet on busses in cities and sit niddle way, leaving two and threw eats behind them. At certain inersections of streets crowds of chite people aboard tho bus and till fliey stay there until ordered >ack by the bus operator. I t corns like common sense should uggest to th?m to move back vhen white people get on, and esjecially when they are too far up o begin. Why allow themselves o be humiliated when they could ivoid it. Many times I have been :empted to advise my people on 3USSCS to eomo furthnr hnolr hut Next Wednesday all of the preiding elders of the A.M.E.

They rather be riven back by white people than o be invited back by Negroes. It's trange but most Negroes want he^ front seats at- every, place hey go except the church.

Until quite recently the colleges supported by religious da thropy, monopolized the degree roiifamna nrivilftgQ,, ?Rut - iu - I ?? - | cent yifcrs the State colleges have assumed this prerogative tQ a sur. prising degree. The Tennessee State College of Nashville, Tenn., contains more than twice as many e^lleKe^-HUHlaftta ami i?aaf? more than three times as many Bachelor Degrees than Fisk unP" versity in the same crty. Virginia State, has a larger enrollment and a larger college student body and* conferred a larger nunA^r of degrees than Virginia Union. The College for Negrobs of North Carolina, had more students and college graduates than Johnson C. Smith. In We?st Virginia, Kentucky, and .Missouri State Colleges are the only degree conferring institutions in these several states.! \yhen we throw into the scale | Howard a super state college, and the Miner Teachers College, it will appear that the college contingent of publicrschouls as 'well as-' the number of degrees conferred, compares not unfavorably with i institutions supported by private i philanthropy. The rivalry between | private ana stau' supported institutions will soori thrust itself se-| riously upon public attention. How far will private philanthropy feel obligated to bear the burden of the j higher education for Negroes when theJ several states are able and willing to assume the local burden? VII. Occupation of College Graduates: It will bo very interesting if the next educational number of the Crisis would undertake to find out the occupation of Negro Graduates, collegiate and professional, during the college generations cov ering the past four years. Common observation convinces us that a large proportion of t,hem had been seeking in vain employmcthf comportable with their educational attainments. Our schools are turning out these giaduates at -the?rate?of 3,000?a?year.?la?afe?w_years if the present state of things continues we shall have our country overrun with college grad uates with nothing to do.
