Negro is doomed. In pass years the Church people stood for the principles of Christianity and we would often have those" soul stir- ~~ Ting prayer meetings from house to house, striving to keep the uni-' ty of tht. spirit in the bands of a peace. Praying in the spirit one ^ h fnr nnnther that the Lord might keep us strong so as to resist the temptations of worldly pleasures. ? But TTme-n days w find the so ? called Christian people pleasure c seekers frwin tlv pulpit to the -fr door. Such as plays; parties, out e invis as picnics, dances, plays in ^ the church and the pastors who congregate people each Lord's day are wholy responsible for the t conditions of the people. If the preachers Who are sup- j posed to lead the people would be j, led 1/y the spirit of God, they . would take under consideration the oppressed Negro and persu- ^ ade them to walk upright before r Gud; laying aside worldly pleas t! ures asking God for deliverance r out of the hand of our enemies. II Peter second chapter say as fhere was false prophets among the people there shall ht. false tea * chers among you, making mer- li chandise of you, which teachers'r will sell you for gain, hut unless I we turn to God with our whole 5 heart, and do so at once we are T doomed. Some people tell me c this is the brightest day that the d Negro has ever had. Rut I see, jj those Negroes are very short- p sighted. Isaiah 29:13. | REV. C. J. KOHN 1 1B20 Tobacco St., " Columbia S.
