“God judg'eth the righteous,
and God is angry with the wick
ed every day ” (Palsm 7:111
In a recent article published
in the columns of this paper, by
the way of a friendly Criticism, I
stated among other things that
the majority of our churches and
so-called churches were sinful an
corrupted. I meanrt it then and I
mean it now. Hut a good medical
doctor, when h<> has taken a dia
gnosis of s>. case, he then pres
cribes a remedy. Therefore 'tlhe
prime purpose of this article is to
set forth methods in the following
ways; for the cleaning of our
churches:
* * * *
First: The Churces Should
Exercise A Strict Scriptural
Displine, H
Jesus Christ said: “Put if he
neglect to heart the church let
hint bo unto thee as an heathen
man and a publican" (Matthew,
18:17) Byond the Shadows of a
reasonable dMubt that statement
of Christ the head of the Church,
imply exclusion o” to turn a mem
ber cut of the oiiurch. Tell me
what Sin or evil, can a Church
member do, or be guilty of that
would cause the present day
Churches to exclude him from the
Church. Baptist Churches use to
take in a member for what he said
and turn him out for what Bin he
committed. But now as a rule, we
den’t turn them out Tegardless
to what sin they are guilty of,
or what offense they may com
mit. Hence our Churches are like
the "Dead Sea” have an outlet but
po outret. To rid our Churches of
sin and eonuption there must be
an outlet, in the Churches. That is
every Church exercise a strict,
instructive, and corrective disci
pline in th Church. Lift up, and
tench the Scripture Standard of
righteousness, that God have sot ^
for the Churches and have the
members to respect and obey
them by excluding from the.
Churches. Whenever our churches
exercise the courage, and the
faith in God, and begin to exclude
from their membership sinful, cor
rupted. jand ^'dnworthy members
from the church, God will bless
the church, and they will have the
presence of the Triur* personality
of God, and influnce over men.|
Nowadays, Church members, and
preachers are saying, Let us root
correct this or that member for|
their sinful way of living it will
tear the church up, and hinder
our money. The truth is the ma
jority of our churches should be
torn up and started over (read
Jeremiah l:10)and we put mon
ey above God, and righteousness
that is the reason we do not usc
ceed. "Therefore put away from
•imcTfj yours) vas that iwkked
person." (1 Corinthians 6:11)
* • * *
Secorfl: Christians Should
Keep Themselves Unspotted
From The World. H
God’s people are a peculiar
people, nnid it is his command;
and will that they separate from
the Association of S’nners, and
keep themselves Unspotted from
the World. It is not enough to
asty you are Christian, or that
you 'belong to this church. But
liavo you been regenerated or
born again and are you living
a religious life before God and
men. “Pure religion and undefil
ed before God and the Father is
this, to visit the fatherless and
widows in their affliction and to
keep himeeh unspotf*’ I ,£rom
the world.” (Jones 1:27).
The eveidences of pure religion
are not manifested by hypocri
tical shouts ungodly noise, srarge
crowds firi3 church edifices, rais
ing after Orphans and widows,
the praise of men. put by look
ing after Orphons, and widows,
and keeping unspotted from the
world. Manifess your salvation by
your life; and your works, and
not all tongue.

our preachers have but a little
faith in God and are more in
terested in themselves than they
are in the things of Christ.

God is now calling for some

And enlist in His Army to fight

things of this world dedicate

strive for the Salavation of Sin

to bo Christians are supporting

works. But wilr you help. “The
Regenerated, and the Unspotted

Wherefore come out from a

will receive you.” (2 Cor. 6:17)

FUNERAL DIRECTORS FORM
NEW NATIONAL BODY
Delegates Gathered from All
Over Ccttntry Secede from In
dependent Natonal Funeral
Directors’ Association
Philadelphia, July 16th (by E.
| P. Sutton for ANP) Climaxing
I growing dissatisfaction with the
manner in which the affairs of
I the Independent National Funeral
Directors’ association were being
handled, delegates to the annual
convention of that body, meeting
at the Southwest YWCA, here
last week, withdrew and formed
la new organization. The new
group, which comprises practic
ally the entire membership of the
[ old organization, is to be known
as the progressive National Fun
eral Directors’ association.
There were 32 states represent
ed, and 201 mmbrs comprising
the new oganization as ohartee
members.
The new officers elected were:
J. William J. Morsell, Chicago,
president; William Rhcrtridge of
Birmingham, Ala-, first vice pres
ident; Mrs. W. H. McGavick,
Nashville, Term., 2nd vice-presi
dent; Mrs. F- A. Keith, McKees
port, Pa., 3rd vice-president; J.
L. Marshall, E. St- Louis, 111., 4th
v'l•» president! William Officer
E St. Louis, 111., general secre
tary; Mrs. G- J. Tate, Knoxville,
Tenn., recording secretary; Mrs.
Inez Renfro, Cincinnati, O., assist
ant recording secretary; James
H. Irvin, Philadelphia, Pa., treas
urer.
On the Board of Directors are
A. L. Welch, Birmingham, Ala.,
R. C. Scott, Richmond, Va; T. L.
Powell, Philadelphia, Pa.; G.
Llopis, New Orleans, La.; E. L.
Boyd, Cleveland, 0-; Mrs. Jennie
Morris, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs.
Katie WilJ’ams, Baltmore, Md.;
Sydney M. Johnson, Hartford,
C.; Milliard Reid, Boston, Mass.;
Julius A. K. Fickland, Kansas
City, Mo.; Rodney Dade, New
York; John T. Rhymes, Washing
Conn.; C. L. Darden, Wlson, N.
ton, D. C.; Mrs. M. McDermon;
Chicago, 111. ; C. P. Hayes, Rich
mond, Va.; Mrs. Janie Hughes.
Louisville, Ky.; Lawton Pratt,
Jacksonville, Fla.
When the net-;* went out from
the convention that the new or
ganization was formed, messages
and telegrams poured in from
various funeral (directors throu
ghout the country, voicing their
approval of same and pledging
their support. Practically every
member of the old association
joined - the new organization.
From all indications, the conven
tion of 1939 will be held in New
York, and will be the greatest
convention ever. A number pf
directors who had refused to join
the old organization immediately
became members of the new.
Evdences of discord, which had
been freely predicted before the
meeting of the Independent group
got under way, were seen early.
As President William J. Morsell
of Chicago began his annual ad
dress, he read numerous letters
from members criticising the
businss management of the asso
ciation. Secretary R- R. Reed,
whose oSfice and action* 'were ,
being criticised, attempted to
answer him, but the auditor’s re
port showed the organization to
be in a serious financial condi
tion. The auditor stated that
funds had been exhausted far out |
cf proportion to the income avail
able. Total receipts for the year
had been $894.00 with expenses
of $1,853.14. A dficit of $895.70
had been carried over from Aug
ust, 1937.
Mr. Reed, who is executive
secretary of the Independent Na
tional association, of which he
was also founder, stuck to his
guns, artd announced that his or
ganization would carry on under
the presidency of C. P. Hayes of
Richmond, Va-, despite the defect
ion of almost the entire conven
tion.
Cmr new organization wds a
necessity under the circumstanc
es,” said President Morsell. "The
business of embalming is an im
portant proftessioi^ We need a
trade body which can advance the
general interests of those engag
i ed in this business. We are cer
tain that with this new body to
that purpose and without any of
the entangling alliances of the
past, we can develop one of the
finst trade groups in the couro
try.’
When the convention closed.
f
many of the members went to
Atlantic City whre they were
schduled to be the guests of the
Atlantic Beard of Trade.
SAM GOODMAN GIVEN DEATH
SENTENCE
Former State College Student
Found Guilty
Florence ,S. G., July 16—(By
Charlie Speanes for ANP) L. G
(alias Sam) Goodman calmly re
ceived the sentence here Saturday
to dio in the electric chair at the
sto'.te penitentiary at 5 p. m. on
July 29 for the slaying of Lew
ellyn Singletary, 28-year-old Lake
City plantation owner.
Goodman who attended the State
Colored college at Orangeburg,
is well known in this section- He
was convicted Thursday after a
speedy trial following an intense
search that lasted several days
bfore he was captured.
He surrendered to three white
farmrs a few days ago, and stated
that ho shot Eliose Graham, a
Negro woman employed on the
plantation, because she had re
ported to Singletary that he was
not doing his share of work and j
he “feard that I would he order
ed off the plantation and would
lose my share of crops on about
20 acres of tobacco, cotton a.r.d
corn lands,” Goodman said that
after killing the woman, he shot
the plantation owner in self-de
fense, as he was hiding in the
loft of Singetary’s bam when the
owner entered armed with a
double-barrelled shot gun.
H said he fired his single-bar
elled shot gun into Singletary’s
gun, leaped from the rear win
dow and fled into the swamps
where he remained in hiding for
ten days. Goodman also stated, “I
could have killed many men
while they were searching for me
in the swamps, but it was not
my desire to do so. I made friends
with the bloodhounds many times,
and they followed me around like
puppies. At one time a hound was
standing right in front of a bush
behind which I was hiding when
the owner ame up ad called him
away.”
The time is usually left to the
warden after the date is set, and
most executions occur early
Frid^.v mornings, but in this case
Circuit Judge L. D. Lide fixed
the time for 5 p. m.
LOUIS MEETS TEST
No one can gainsay that Joe
Louis met the greatest test in his
career in the most forthright,
cgourageoi** and decisive manner
posable. There is no longer aniy
doubt as to who is champion cf
the world, and who should be the
cham(pion. There is no linger
room for slurs or sneers about the
mettle or merit of the ghampion.
There is nothing but praile for
the powers of the Brown Bomber
from Detroit and nothing but good
wishes and good will for his long
ami successful reign.
