tn God, the brotherhood of ma:.
and, an unrelenting march toward I
tha Christian ideal.
Tha Baptist leader said that race I
hate, morals and character of min- j
inters and church members alike ;
were evidences that there has been
an abandonment of the teachings ,
c-J Christ. Speaking from the sub
ject “The Deplorable Conditions of
the VisabLe Church of Our Day:—
The Cause and the Fcmedy”, Dr.
Temison said.
“The life of the Christian people j
today is not on the high level, nei- i
ther can it be when the teachings
of the word of God are disregarded j
While formerly some went to the
extent of stamping as sin what (
was no sin. many today have gone
to the extreme of allowing what
God has forbidden. The demands
made today by many churches up
on the Christians of today is not
very great. Worldly righteous
ness is in many cases considered
sufficient evidences of a noble
Christian charactei. In short, mo
dem church life, is full of incon
sistencies all marked toy spiritual
differences.'
Causes cl the objectionable
church situation were to be found
in the lethargy of ministers to ar
ouse their members to inspiration
al heights, and to teach the phil
osophy o' Christ, charged Dr. Jem
ison. He said that many ministers
have denied the Bible as the “in
spired unerring word of God and

‘‘The remedy will not be found
in ignoring the facts," stated Dr.
Jemison. “The remedy proposed
Testament when its conditions
by God to his church of the Old
were similar to conditions of the
church of our day is the only rem
edy. Thus said the Lord, stand ye

I the old paths, where is the good

turning to the old path and the

again find itself on the right track.

DR. JEMISON CONDEMNS
TREATMENT OF NEGRO
SOLDIERS IN DIXIE
Cihcago, Illinois—SPECIAL: Dr.
D. V. Jemison, president of the
National Baptist Convention .put
through a resolution, which was a
dopted, condemning the treatment
of Negro chaplains in the South
Pacific area. He also denounced
what he called the failure of the
U. S. government to protect Negro
troops in Dixie camps.

sociation are amnog the gr >u;:,s
which have adopted the program.
Sixty-five Masonic Lodges ir.
Maryland, and about as many other
organizations in the country have
already adopted the movement; and
it is growing iast, Mr. .tlleri said.
Many Negro churches and the
Faptist and Methodic Councils
have endorsed the idea." he said.

Ih: Prattis P‘ ui, inasmuch as it
■was first outlined by P. L. Prattis.
executive editor of the nationally
circulated Pittsburgh Courier.
In a column appearing in the
Curier last May 1, Mr. prattis
wrote:
“A bond-buying program would
increase the Negro’s wealth in this
country. Suppose that 5,000,000 A
merican Negroes could be persuad
ed to purchase an average of one
$25 bond each month. That would
mean the purchase of 125,000,000
cold cash each month. In eight
months, these 5,000,000 Negroes
would purchase $1,000,000,000 worth
of cash. In 16 months, the amount
would be $2,000,000,000. In two
years, they would have had added
$3,000,000,000 of wealth to the race
total, or more than they did in 75
| years after slavery.”
M.- Allen pointed out that the
k
Prattis Plan is designed not only
to integrate the Negro into this
country's plans for financing the
war. but also to provide the Negro
with a nationally planned and dir
ected program of thrift and group
accumulation of savings.
He said: “It is a post war plan
for the Negro race, who should
plan for 200 years from today. The
Negro needs to sit down and map
out some concrete plans for the
future. For with everything
changing, due to science, he will
be left outside if he doesn’t plan.
No one can do for the Negro what
he can do for himeslf. His will
and desire to do must come from
within.”
