Christians Must Fight Here i
Last Sunday morning a city:j
wide revival was started here in
5L- Charleston among the white people.
It is being held at one of
*f the largest buildings in the city and
all denominations "are coopt
em Ling in tills ?ivat movom.brtt. ~
j*? To my mind this is a stroke in the _
right diiecTToh. to bring"" victory ;i
over those nations that are determined
to destroy the principles ol
Christianity and to make might
right. I wonder if the Christians
of my race #have given, this a
thought, its Bathetic to saerincc
the best prouuct of our young
men and seemly no hope in sight
for remnant that remains. It appears
to me that all Negro church
es should petition God in interest
of this- sad situation. I believe
" not only- tli? white churches of
Charleston should issue a call tc
.prayer but those throughout th(
world of all races and o? every
faith,?Say?u.hnt ynn will hut 1 _
am in perfect accord with the
campaign that's being launcheel in
my city not withstanding it is among
white people.
The Union
Dr. R. I. Lemon was at his best
in the above meeting last week
with the subject "Advantages am.
Disadvantages?of?Wor".?It was _
the best we have heard along tha
line. The colored ministers . o 1
Charlestor^have gotten behind fht_ _
Christmas Seal sales in dead^ear
nest, and-hear-me, Charleston i !s
going-over the top in the greatest
style. Dr. C. S. Ledbetter is a
wide awake chairman and Dr* J.
W. Murph is-ha^giftsd orator. Dr.
" Red Cross Roll Call and we arc
behind him to the man. These
are real leaders and" they merit
the support of all of the colored
people irr Charleston, city and
?county. Dr. J. E. Beard .brought
echoes from the Alabama conferences.
Others making good
speeches were Drs. J. W. Curry,
H. B. Jones. C. S. Ledbetter, J. F.
Mpndgrqnn, T> N, Wilaor and I
others. Following this meeting
the A. M. E. Alliance held a great
session with President R. I. Lemon
presiding. "Child's Cor^ver..
sion^ was the order of the day
raw Ministers -of Charleston are
really having a seminar in this
city.
