j^P?g?Tw?_ ; THE OLD GRAY * i . . % Rev. E. Philip Ellin V - WAR AND WHITE PEOPLE Whenever the country is in war there is ulways a very friendly relation between white and colored people until it closes. During1 a state of war white people are considerate of Negroes when it comes to registration for both ervice and defense. Of coarse this is as it should be. But when victory is achieved then it seems that they have hatred in their herirts for thost. who gave their lives in defense of the country. There is absolutely no need in the world for white people to despise Negroes. In the first place we Unau; thnt ua Inna- ixu?\\r n a r**v Klnnlr - we cun not expect socwd equality^ with the whites and do not want it. CJod Almighty in the creation made every creature different from another. And everyone of its kind is found together. Thi?is true in the animal kingdom, the . birds of the mir, the beasts of the forest.- the . fislu's?m-thc srn;-nndevery creeping insect is always found among its kind. Man is no exception to the rule. He is more happy among his own race than any other. There is one thing cer tain the white ?nftn need not to fear when it comes to Negroes be_ traying his country's secrets to . foreign nations. Many have been arrested for doing this a few days ago but none of tnc-m were Negroes. Those whom the white people allowed to come in our country from afar and pfctf-r Jbern 1 in superior^ J)&gitions that they ?3W#rf-cfaVe not give Negrbes are giving them their greatest trolls ble today. But the white people can always remember that the Ne gro stands ready to help them at all times and only expect in return equal consideration in accom niodations and in justice at the hands of the courts. This they should have and God Himself is not pleased with anything less. Say what you. will but these times show that there is something wrong somewhere. To be con tinued next week. OL'K NEW CHURCH OPENING St. I.ukf A. M. E. Church, Charleston, is ia modern wonder to the entire city. We had our opening the second Sunday in Aug rst at .which time President S. R. Higgins of Allen university did not only capture the city but the entire low country in his messages morning and evening. He ig a prince among princes. Dr. J. G. Dunbar of Morris Street Baptist church stirred the city in his sermon. that afternoon. Everybody went away singing the praises of this gifted man of God. Dr. D.N. Wilson pleached a wonderful sermon Tuesda evening. He can fill any palpit in the denomination. Dr. R. E. Brogden was out of the city but sent his fine choir and - congregation to us and they rendered most excellent service. Rev. Robert Doctor was at big best in his message delivered |as a substitute for Dr. Brogderi. Dr. J. W. Curry, of Centenary preached one of the greatest sermons we have eve? heard. The mother thurch has no better preadher in the denomination than Dr. Curry. Dr. R. L _ lemon of Morris, Brown , church showed himself fit for a bishop in his masterful sermon Friday evening. Say what you will but he wil be heard of up the road. Dr. T. J. Miles of Columbia spent one evening in the meeting and in a few words brought the ^ ita Wp are still saying put Dr. Miles on the bench and he will put members in the A. M. E. church. AN IMPORTANT CALL Dr. C. S. Iyedbetter, head of the Christmas Seals Sales in Ctynr?leston called his workers together last week in conection with the whites, and had a very fine meetr ing. Mrs. V. T. Ellis president of l the Ministers Wives allfence here i and who is in charge of the dejk, fense program among Negroes of > ftUi, i-anrooenfjxf these Henart ments at this meeting. Being a member of the state committee I can truthfully say that Dr. Ledbetter is among the beat chairmen L. the state has. He is riot only a ? first class preacher, educator and P~ Christian gentleman but is among the most highly respected citizen K' of thif, city irrespective of race or color. He is a subscriber to The Palmetto Leader, which is the leading paper of the South- ? ' agi THE UNION ty The Interdenominational Minis- 'Ul tors Union of Charleston <und vi- j cinity will resume regular meet- sj; all ministers are urged to be pies- 1 ent in keeping wit'h the request of d Dr. Brogden, president.
