n ?. t- ; Pate Two j - ? it The Old Gray and The New Rider By Rev. E. Philjp Ellis A Noiseless Christmas A better^. law was never passed in South Carolina than that of prohibiting the display of fire arms on Christmas and the holiday season. Aside from making this Holy occasion a perfect nuisance with disgustful noise, thousands of poor Negro children would spend most of their Christmas savings in purchasing fire works when they needed clothing and ? ovuvui auj;juiv3. a iiv.ii uiv i v 10 o crazy class among all races in eluding the Negro who does not " know when xmd where tox carry on such sports. This class has been known, to throw fire crackers in moving automobiles and ? family parlors. Any number of ? Negro churches could not-hold religious services on Christmas mornings and the laast night in . the old year. These disrespectful .. Negroes would destroy such services: by throwing fire works in the churches when the congregations were on their knees. This Negro element should be placed under the jail for any section in prison above the ground is too good for them. We hope this law will re-t main until the foolish learns ? some' sense. . Buy Christmas Seals I "m of the opinion that the re turns from Christmas seals this -year will be the largest in oui country's history. Charleston, led on by Dr. C. S. Ledbetter and Re* J. F. Henderson, will (break all previous records this year. We are confident that the same will be true of the entire state. With the exception of the Red Cross, Christmas seal's money does more good for suffering humanity than any $pent in the world. I am glad that Negroes are beginning to see the necessity of purchasing these seals. And yet all of them are not interested in such seals as they should be. Strange to say that so many ministers and othei leaders of our racial group do not concern themselves at all upon this all important item in ?tfie sav ifig of life. The gospel of good health is second to the gospel of soul saving. And any individual who cares nothing for the health leadership, be he minister, doctor, lawyer, teacher or what not. Cut Them Off Beginning with the New YeaF 1941 The Palmetto Leader com pany is cutting off the names of those persons who are in arrears with their subscription. Those subscribing or renewing their sub scriptions from now on will notice that every issue you receive the date when your subscription will expire. So when the time comes p.ipci'?Wttt?stop?trrrtess-rr^ newed. A slogan is getting unherway among many of our read ers that if you once subscribe to The Palmetto . Leader it will al ways come money or no money Because of this quite a few fail ed to renew this year. But they will meet with quite a disappoint ment this time. The house is pre paring notices to mail such persons, and unless they respond their paper will be discontinued. You have only one week of g4?ice to renew your subscription to a white daily paper, and yet Negroes want two or three years of _ grace^to renew their subscription to a jbolored paper. How unrea sonable we are with all >f our intelligence. J _ _ St. Luke ( Dr. J. L. Benbow, preached two great sermons at our first quar* . terly conference.
