There is, positively, no greater evil in the present day than “Race Prejudice.” Why is there not some propaganda to “prohibit” it? Race prejudice lays its hand directly upon God Himself, for in the image of God was man created. Man is sacred because he thus bears within him the image of the Creator. Man is one. Whether black, white, brown or yellow, he is still man, bearing the image of the Mighty God, and for one group of men to conspire against another group of their fellowinen, and through “race prejudice” despoil them of their dignity and sovereignty, because of some temporary disadvantage which they sustain—is simply awful; it is wicked. It is an assault upon the Creator. When we destroy the greater evil, and when men feel in their hearts the sacredness of humanity, then, whether it be alcohol, the sweatshop or gambling or any other evil springing from the dishonor done to manhood, whatever the evil may be, it will the more easily be eliminated. In begin ning with whiskey we start at the wrong end. We ought to start at “race prejudice,” and this being eliminated and destroyed, so one by one will de part all of the brood of evils connected with the exploitation and degrada tion of manhood. Certainly, as black men, we are interested in the elim ination of all evils which oppress our lives. But, first and foremost of all, we are interested in protecting the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father.” Let while men who convict themselves of insincerity as often as they look up to the Creator and say “Our Father,” first make their prayer genuine, and then many of the evils of which they complain will al most instantly disappear. No man can have God for his Father who does not have every man, of whatever race he may be, for his brother. This is the death of “race prejudice.” The love of the brother, the more helpless he is so much the more necessary is the proof of the love of God. Whiskey is a minor evil when contrasted with the dishonor done to God in hating and degrading any part of His Divine Image. Mr. Chas. T. Murray, of Sioux City, la., spent several clays with his mother, W. J. Costin, last week. Dr. M. B. Jones, of Kansas City, Mo., is visiting his wife and friends.
