1 " Pace Two The Old Gray and The New Rider* By Rev. E. Philip Ellis I New Year's Resolutions Such resolutions as ' are above ' cited have been greatly - criticised i by any number of people "profess- , tonal and otherwise. As a rule it is ,that class who is desirous of rematmng^4rr an old rut. which?is- _i bad at best, and* ha$ no inclination to improve. Bishop R. R Wright, Jr., Ph. D., wrote a masterly editorial in defence of New Year's resolutions whiW he was editor of The Christiap Recorder, and president of Wilberforce- uni versity. Among other things he said was that "if a habitual drunk ? art! would resolve on New Year's day to stop drinking, and kept " such a promise for six months; aside from his being a respectable pitizen for n half venr his-familv or those dependent - upon him would ho better supported during that period of time." JThis.rsaid the editor "would be' the outcome of such a resolution and proves beyond a reasonable doubt that some good was "done by the resolu tion. Of course Editor Wright now bishop cited examples of ; gambling and other dissipations as concrete examples from which similar conclusions, could be reach ed as above cited. In-. fact he proved to the satisfaction of sane minded readers that one could in no ways go wrong when making resolutions with a new year. Negroesr i i r' It will always be necessary for those of my race to make resolutions. This is no doubt true of every race but I happen to kr\p\v mine. A number one Resolution for hundreds of my people to make -this year would be to attend church service. For scores of them did not even look in a. church door ?... alLyxf l?st year. They should inv v projre their church relations in 1941 or be made to exchange places with the heathens in thi jUngle who arc crying to receive . ' the gospel. Then too ministers. ?n<k church members should resolve'to be missionaries this yeai and go out in' the hedges and high ways with the simple hand touch, and bring in the lost to the fold of, God. That there are trying times just ahead of us no sensible person would dare doubt. So as I see it if there ever was a time to make pledges it is now. Resolution No. 2 Negroes?should resolve this year to support colored people in business. Were all the Negroes in America to organize their buy- . ing power they would control ful ly a third of this country's wealth. Say what you will but this is the only solution of this' complicated problem for the educated among our racial gruop. Positions will never be made for the youths of = the race until Negroes themselves begin to make them. While we advocate patronizing Negro business, those operating them must 1 strive to meet competition in a , pect Negroes to purchase from them simply because they are Negroes. When an article will cost : twice as much in a Negro store, than in a white store of course Negroes are going to spend their ; monev where it will count most. We have some dead beats among us who will exhaust all of their credit doing business with Negroes and when they are denied any further consideration they, gO-la. _ white stores and pay. cash. Then too, Negroes in business must fearn how to treat their custom- ' ers. They should study people and ' know those in whom to place con- 1 fidonce. I have known some short j sighted Negroes in business to send insulting 'duns" to leaders- ' of their racial group whose repu- ^ tations were worth a thousand 1 times more to them than the ffcw J dollars due on their accounts. TV-l . .ii?t ciass or suppose business ? bjogroes will eventually dwindle - into-.bankruptoy unless they learn 4k a bdtter sense. ??- . - * One More Resolution Resolve that all Negroes reading colored papers will pay for ^ them this year and not always 4 keep putting off the representa- 1 tives, and agents when they call J. upon them. Bishop J. S. Flipper, " DiD., LL.D., is a perfect example ' for readers to follow. This pre- ? late will not allow a Negro peri odical to be given him as a com- . pliment. Ho knows the poor Negro press is not able and will not . accept it with mere thanks. And - might I say there is no man in this country who reads moro , books, and papers than he does; jjet pays for every one. Let him ^ he the example for all Negroes. * The Palmetto Leader and The Samaritan Tfnrnl/1 ' - ..... oi.uuiu rcamve to ut off every non-paid subscriber ^ in t"..e beginning of 1041. ?
