Another Impending Crisis! 1 or many years this writer has been calling attention to the econo mic plight of the Negro race. More tfhan a decade ago he was singing tfiy economic blues so persistently that he was dubbed the “Gloomy •ean ” What he saw then, even the casual observers see clearly to 4a>, The question of where the Negro is going to find a market iov his labor in labor is upper most in the minds of thoughtful Negroes, and wihat is more, it is a question st 11 unanswered an will be until Negro leadership learns to taco the ugly facts. Such important question cannot bo evaded or disniisssd but must sooner or later be face! squarely aven if our present scheme or edu cation must be revamped. The Ne gro race must rise or fall with its masses and unless these masses aro wisely guided the future of a race is uncertain indeed. The emer-j gency involving Negro leadership inspires this amide Today there arc 40,000 Negro Baptist church es alone in the United States and nearly 2,000 ministers die annually with only 200 students preparing for the ministry. It takes no pro phet to see the crisis impending! FW nearly three-quarters of a century the Negro race has been • organized about the building ot churches. Today there are scattered throughout the country thousands rof churches into which-has gone the mayor share of the Negro’s accumulated wealth. These church or, an the nn H'^ Vof higher learn ing among Negr es ami without hem the cruse ox, Negro educ > .on would be ir measurably re rarJed. Ill© e churches have been tha clearing house for the Negro’s ambitions and the cradle of the race’; enterprise. Tho Negro leadership of today js church g'r v n and there is eve y reason to believe that if the Ne gro of tomorrow is to be led the church must furnish the leaders. It is true, there are a few m sguided Negroes who feel that the church in obsolete, but the answer to the questions their position propounds can beat bo answered by a casual glance at the powerful influence that the white church is asserting. What is more, whereas the the Ne gro minstry is not self-perpe tuating tho white ministry is 'lourishing and in the two southern \Ciitc Baptilit seminaries alone .there are approximately a thousand young men preparing for the min stry. Tho South is furn:shing this na tion more than its quota of prea chers. These Southern preachers are fast taking over the ministry f this nation and thus they are he mayor force in shaping the ncrals of the nation. It is ga ng to be anawful thing for the churches ,11 .the South and country to be manned by intelligent white minis ters and for the Negro church to be manned by preachers of the • swamp angel” type who are long on “vvhoop-ology” and short on learning "he theology. Enthusiasm and zeal an poor substitutes for train ng. If the present trends continue one or two things aie inevitable. First these thousands of Negro churches must be served by illiterate and often ignorant pastors and second, the more an 1 morj intell gent nr ses will le"'' rhi c' urch pn ’ ’ir will be a cal' mity. Wo know (hat. here is a cor-eln > ion between g 'd e mmuniti?s and godi* lea reship an I which cores 1-t has been lrng pressing ques tion. Good omnv.m ties pHoVce good leaders and leaders make good communities, but we know that the good leaders comes first aof so the adv neement of the Negro through tho church depends upon the calibre of leaders w(ho have charge of the great potential power of ehe Negro church. The reason young white men enter the ministry is because white people honor and respect their nrnisitry and encourage its recruting. One reason why young Negroes do not enter the ministry is because Negroes have not grown to appre ciate its challenge If one Negro minister makes a mistake the en tiro Negro mi nistry is damned juse as our raco is damned if a Negro commits a crime. When a white minister makes a mistake it is the mistake of a m staken man. In other words Negroes do for their ministry what the whites do for i,he Negro race-gonerali7>e. Then too. it is more than passing strange that whites will bhrow-off and tell joker, cn Negro ministers but not on their own. Negroes are in many instance to (Jail to see th' and thus enjoy “ hi owing off’ on their mini sters.
