BRUCE GRIT’S COLUMN
A great many followers of the
“meek and lowly Jesus” have adopted
his teachings, but hesitate to adopt
them in their daily practice. If this
were done generally by professing
Christians, the wide world over, I
would have a larger faith in the idea
now sizzling in the atmosphere called
Democracy.
Centuries ago certain old masters
who knew something of the art of
painting were employed by certain
dignitaries of the church to paint po,
traits of the Virgin Mary and the
Child Jesus, and these artists, among
them Michael Angelo, Raphael, San
zio and some others, produced paint
ings in oil purporting to represent the
mother of Christ, Christ, and some of
the old prophets, such as Moses and
David, which have been admired by
lovers of art the world over. The con
ceptions of these old masters as to
what their subjects looked like were,
of course, as everyone knows, purely
imaginative, for no human being liv
ing at the time these great painters
flourished ever- saw’ the Virgin Mary
or the Christ or any of the old proph
ets. The Italian, Dutch, Flemish and
German painters, who have copied
from these old masters, have invar
iably made their subject Italian,
Dutch, Flemish and German. So it is
that the pictures of the Madonna and
the Christ are largely a matter of
geography. What they really looked
like cannot be determined by any por
trait made of them w’ith w’hich we are
familiar. Tacitus is perhaps the only
writer who has given a description of
the Christ and it is so brief that no
artist living, or who if dead were now
alive, could paint a satisfactory pic
ture of him. He said: “The pestilent
disturber of order in Judea is a red
headed Jew- who calls himself Christ.”
So we know' now that this pestilent
disturber was an agitator, contemned
and despised by the high-brow's of
that period just as our agitators and
cranks are by the high-brows of the
present day.
There have been many Negroes can
onized by the Catholic church which is
the only real Christian democracy that
we know of, except the Mohammedan
religion. The Negro in both these
bodies stands on an equality with his
fellow worshipers, no matter what
their race or color or condition.
Many years ago, the first Negro
woman in America was canonized by
the Catholic church for her piety and
good works. She is known to all good
Catholics as St. Rose of Lima, Peru.
In Uganda Africa twenty-two Afri
can^ were not long ago canonized by
this church.
One of the early Popes of Rome is
known to have been an African, of
whom more anon.
The mind of Africa, whether it
gives voice to its thinking in the hot
and burning sands where stands the
Sphinx, the riddle of all ages in mute
silence evoking the admiration and
wonder of mankind, or in Europe or
in America, is at one with the central
thought expressed in the following ex
cerpt from an editorial in the Weekly
News of Sierra Leone, West Coast,
viz.: “So those places which have
contributed aeroplanes and other war
munitions, while they may be said to
do much, cannot be compared to
places which may take upon them
selves to link the British Nation to
The Power that bestoweth light; the
power that not only bestoweth light,
but gives men the ability to see the
light. This power is God Almighty,
and ALL POWERFUL. The enemy
appears to have monopolized it in this
war and to have profited largely from
it. Aeroplanes, men and munitions,
gold and all the wealth of the Allied
Nations, are NOTHING without God,
The Supreme Ruler of the Universe
and the destinies of Nations.”
The future, there is no doubt about
it, the future belongs to the educated
Nations, and those among us who fos
ter and encourage the further spread
of higher education are rendering our
race a service, the consequences of
which will lie almost beyond human
calculation, and may I also say that
the kind of education that is needed
to fit white men for the performance
of important civic, commercial, polit
ical and scientific duties, is exactly
and precisely the kind of education
that is required by every Negro youth
in this land—the undiscovered ge
niuses—poets, inventors, scientists
literateurs of “Ethiopia’s blameless
race.”
The educated Catholic priests and
educated Catholics generally know a
great deal more about the achieve
ments of the Negro in scholarship and
service than the snobs of other re
ligious faiths, who now look down on
the Negro with a sort of pitying con
tempt, and dismiss his claim to prim
acy as a leader with a supercilious
sneer. The archives of the Vatican
at Rome contains many proofs which
establish the Negro’s right to be.
When Dunbar wrote—
"B proud, my race, in mind and soul,
Thy name is writ on Glory’s scroll
In characters of fire.
High ’mid the clouds of Fame’s bright
sky
Thy banner blazoned folds now fly,
And truth shall lift them higher,”
he had a vision, as certainly as did
John on the Island of Patmos, when
he saw the number that no man could
number.
“We are living, we are dwelling
In a grand and awful time,
In an age, on ages telling,
To be living is sublime.”
