GIVE NEGRO SQUARE DEAL, SAYS BISHOP REESE OF GEORGIA Extract* from Address Delivered By Southerner at a Recent Meeting of Federal Council of Churches THE VALUE OF A MAN Bishop F. F. Reese of Georgia, a speaker at the recent meeting of the Federal Council of Churches, said: “The first and most important con tribution which the churches can make towards any matter of right human relations is to preach the gospel of the Incarnation. The Negro is a man, as God reveals the meaning of man hood. He is within the unity of the race as the Incarnation reveals it. The religion of every man or group is fatally defective which does not so regard him. “The Negro is not like the white man in every particular. There are striking differences, physical and mental, but he is one with the white man in his essential humanity. When the churches have converted their own people and have led them to accept that truth and to base their relation* to the Negro on that principle, there will he cordial co-operation and con fidence between the races. “The responsibility rests, first, upon the white race, just in so far as it as sumes its superiority in strength ami capacity and just in so far as it has enjoyed advantages and civilization which the Negro has not enjoyed. Right relations which constitute mo rality and true religion will inevitably promote justice and fair dealing and kindness and brotherly conduct to ward the Negro. It will mean that it will be taken for granted that he is entitled to the opportunity to make, under God, the best of himself of which he is capable, and that no prej udice or contempt or injustice on the part of the white man will hinder or handicap him. Under God, he will : have every opportunity and every as sistance from his stronger brother to work out his salvation, individually and racially. "F.very man’s and race’s self-re spect must be respected ami encour aged. This means that we must re gard and treat the Negro as a man, with the self-respect which every man should feel. Thought and feelings about him and toward him which ex press themselves in words and acts implying disrespect and contempt as a superior to an inferior are un-Chris tian. “Christian leaders and preachers must consider it a primary duty to promote sympathy, and kindness, justice and charity toward the other race. And the people who call them selves Christians and are members of congregations of the various com munions must consider their religion an imperfect and a diluted form of Christian duty, unless they shall em brace within the range of their Christian duty the sense of Christian brotherhood towards every man, black or white.” TROOP NO. t!t BOY SCOUTS HAVE PARTY AT Y. W. C. A. The parents anrl friends of the members of Troop 79 Boy Scouts who failed to accept Scoutmaster T. I’. Maharnmitt’s invitation to attend the party given for his troop at the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. last Monday night missed a genuine treat. The purpose of the party was not only to give the boys a good time, but also to acquaint the parents with the pro gram which is carried out at all reg ular scout meetings. Assembly call was sounded by Troop Bugler Albert Brown, and as fine a bunch of real boys as one could find anywhere fell into line. A brief announcement con cerning scouting and the purpose of the present gathering was made by Scoutmaster Mahammitt in well chosen words. Troop Scribe Peterson called the roll. The Scout law was repeated in concert by the troop. A military drill followed under the com mand of H. J. Pinkett. Martin Thom as, assistant scoutmaster, then put the troop through a physical drill. This was followed by the O’Grady drill under Patrol leader Wade McRaven. An exhibition of first aid was then given by chosen members of the troop. The Rev. John Albert Williams was invited to tell the parents of his im pressions of a visit to Camp Gifford Boy Scouts’ camp. Following his brief remarks, the troop gave the Scout Oath and benediction and then followed refreshments, ice cream and cake and candy. The serving of re freshments, however, is not a part of the regular weekly program. As part of the refreshments Miss F.dna M. Stratton sang "By the Waters of Minnetonka” by S. Coleridge-Taylor, and aH an encore “Mother O’Mine” by Burleigh, internationally known com posers of our race; and Clarence Dea dlines contributed two exquisite violin numbers. The Boy Scout movement should have the earnest and whole-hearted co-operation of parents who have boys 1 and of all persons who are interested : as they should be interested in the highest development of our youth. —i- 1 ii—we _ 11 - I ST.

It should have read “Miss" Frances Smith and not “Mrs.” as the typographical error made it. The name of the bride’s mother is Mrs. Mattie Franklin not Mrs. Frederick Hawkins. Don’t lose your head in traffic or you may lose a limb. —Omaha Safety Council. HE A GOOD FELLOW An automobile driver can make friends by driving carefully. He can make a friend of traffic policemen on the comer, the one he passes every morning on his way to work or on his way home in the evening. He can make a pedestrian in the street say, “He’s a good fellow, thoughtful of others"; he can make the driver of <~x^~x-xk~x~x^~x~x-x~x~x~x another car say, “There’s a decent driver, I wish there were more like him”. Are you making friends? Can you smile at your traffic cop and re ceive a smile in return? Do you get a “thank you” from a passing automobilist for giving him the road? Does the elderly lady wave her hand kerchief at you for stopping to let her cross the street?
