DEAR GIRLS! Happy New Year to you kill I guess DR. GRANT AND JESUS Editor of Tub Nzw Voir Agl: The recent sermon by Dr. Percy S. Grant, of the Church of the Ascension, denying that Jesus possessed the power of God, has brought on a deal of comment. It is unfortunate that the distinguished priest, after giving so many years of valuable service to the cause of the Lord, should at this late day be found taking an erroneous stand against the Church and Jesus, who came for the propitation of our sins.

Yet wr must not be alarmed. Did not Jesui say that the time would come when they would teach false doctrines? Hut despite this burning truth. He also said that "the gates of hell should not prevail against His Church No, the Church is not neces saryily a building, but rather a firm belief deep down in our soul that Jesus i all that the Bible claims Him to be; that He is "the life and the rrssurree tion The "gateway and the door to the kingdom of heaven and he that rometh up any other way save through Him is a thief and a robber," Now, as our sum begins to sink behind yon western hill, may we, like Taul, be able to say. have fought a good fight, I have krpt the faith." HENRY ALLEN. New York City.

Problems of the Race From a White Man's View Editor of Ths Nzw Voir At.e: As a white man who has the moral and material weliare of the Negro at heart, it may be that a criticism of the problems confronting the race to day, will be received in tue kindly spirit in whicn it is meant. My knowledge of the colored mans problems has not been acquired superficially. 1 have lived wkh tha race in Africa, the West Indies, the Southern States, and in every country where they are to be found. Years of study devoted to an enort tn assist in the emancipation of the Negro has also aided me in arriving at a fairly definite estimate of racial difficulties. The conscientious scholar, possessed of an inquiring and analytical mind.

will not find any pla in the whole world more suitable for a comprehen sive study of race problems than right here in Harlem. Let me say at the out set that I have absolutely no sympathy with any class of white men who regard the Negro as a thing apart. Experience has taught me that the only standards whereny you can mrasure a man is not of his color or his creed, but of his principles and bis intellect. If a man is a true man I will proudly call him friend even if bis skin is black as tar. If a man is not true, the fact that his skin is.

as white as alabaster will not impress me. God's Sun shines on God's children without regard to race or creed. The sun is the most potent evidence of the warmth and justice of God's love. Never ending. Never failing.

And that being so it would seem to me that the colored man is slightly more sun' burned that his white brother. Hold ing this view it cannot be alleged against me that I possess any colot prejudice. Indeed my leniency, if any, ni err hi ivi vi me because 1 wish to parade any sloppy sentimentality, but because he deserves the benefit of any doubt, not having long enjoyed the adantages of politi cal freedom. In Harlem there i a very large col ored community. They represent the desceiidems of numerous African Nc tro nationalities, more or less blended.

They represent, too', a considerable prt of the white race, which fact alone ought to stem the torrent ot adverse white criticism. Indeed the blood fusion between the white and colored is so complete, in many instances, a to make It a different matter to tell where the black ends and the white begins. Harlem cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be regarded as the most lawabiding section of this treat cocntry. The unthinking may tc tort that there are white sections of the country that as are bad if not worse than Harlem. True enough, but that assertion does not whitewash' Harlem.

only proves my original contention that a white kin docs not make a white character. These premises ought to be consoling lo the colored man. If the extraordinary number of churches ar anv crilerisn. the vnorals of the colored community of Harlem should be the highest in the world, That is. if we assume that churches still have a moral function.

Nowhere in the wrold are so manv churches to be found a in Harlem. Denominations weird and wonderful practise their la mentable rites in every block. So called spiritualistic fakers, fortune tel lers. charlatans, and devil destroyers, hold "church" in hundreds of "furnished rooms." Themselves colored, thev nractier evert artifice to rob their colored brethren. They debauch the teaehinff of lesus with their mumenes, and besmirch the beatuiful science of metaphysics with ignorance.

They pro fess the Christian faith while practicing the arfs of hell. These parasites arc so numerous that one marvels how colored people of Harlem have survived this assault on their moral and eronomic existence. These "rhnrchr" have erected the god of Mammon. They are a burden jui the moral and economic life's blood the thrifty and indutrious. These non prnductivc peddlers nf superstition are an intolerable impediment tn the nrooress of the rare.

If the col. ored people believe that these fakers The Age I I 1 a a am rather late in greeting, but "better late than never. 1 have been reading the column evrry week bet one week it was missing. 1 don't suppose should make any comment though because I've been a rlscker myself.

With love to all lh girls "LADDIE BOY." Boston, Mass. Readers' Forum can help them they are self deceived The white man with his centuries of civilization owes no rart of. his ad vancement to the moralist and theolo.

gians. White supremacy has been achieved, not because of the "faith fakers" but in spite of them. Educ ticn. scientific and his.orical, moral and metaphysical, has accomplished more for the moral progress of the white man than all theological "isms" since the dawn of creation. Let the colored man profit by the bluer ex perience ot ins white brother and learn thereby.

This condition of things, with other evils of lesser degree, rtem the progress of the colored race. "Churchian ity" is not Christianity. It not nearly so good. The white man has thrust too much "Churehianity" on the colored man and too little Christianity. While I am not unmindful of the failings of the white man in his "elations with the colored people I am convinced that the greatest enemies of the race are the parasites of the race.

National or racial dvancement begins with the individual. Individual sddancement means self government. It teems to me that the colored people pay too little attention to the earnest and conscirnious leaders of the race nd too much heed to the multitude of ignorant and selfih "devit destrovers" in their midst, They rgard a few rents spent on good books as a waste of monev but do not hesitate to pour J. int. Nn r.l romi.

ll mind rrader rather than listen to the Gospel of Calvary in all its sweet symplicity they barken to the "pastors" whose principal vocabulary is "Money, Money, Money." Hasten the day when brave true spirit like the Humble Galilean will again upset the mouey vnangers in tne Temple. 1 often wonler liicse takers, wno pride themselves on their P.iblical knowledge, ever read the itrd chapter of Jeremiah. The first and the eleventh verses I like particularly. It seems to me that a Dfvine l'novidence had the fakers mind when he inspired ihee lint. "Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of mv pasture, aith tqe rd; and again, "For prophet and priest are profane, yea.

in my house have found their wickedness." The rese of this chapter is equally as iluminating. It haj been alleged against the colored man by whites that he lias contributed nothing to scientific knowledge. the arts, or to literature. Relatively speaking, thae may be partly true. But that is an indictment against his white iarhrr.

rmitiderins the short time the race enjoyed emancipation it would be unjust to expect them to comprehend tbe arts much less contribute to tnem. Nevertheless the coolred man has con tributed greatly to the economic wealth of tli country. He had to. The white man cave the colored man legal equality. But moral equality can only be achieved by the colored people C5I i 1 3 isff fo PACJg JTVE Comments By The Age Editors On Sayings of Other Editors The mayoralty campaign looming in Detroit is stirring up considerable ex citement, according to the Detroit Inde pendent.

Calling it an insult to the ministry for a political condidate to ask the delivery of a congregation for election, the Independent said: The position of the ministry has changed according to the development and intelligence ot the people trom open and direct to indirect and influential leadership. While all sane men believe that no nation or people is safe without the influence of the Christian Church it is also conceded that its chief function' is to radiatt and illuminate tnf lives of men so that, God may be seen in them. It is, and ought to be, an insult tn the intelligence of congregation tor OWN efforts. The moral and material emancipation can only come from WITHIN. Even were, the white man willing to give moral 'equality to the colored man it is something beyond his power.

Even were the white people anxious to withhold it from the colored man they could not do it now. Only by the progress of the individual can'tbe race progress. It is every colored man's duty, not only to himself. but to his ri.ee. to strive for self dc vehement.

In the language of the venacular. "It's up to him." Hi educational advancement will bring about his participation in the destinies of his race. Every colored man of character aiid integrity who proves by his mental and moral equality that he is capable of the same achievement as the white man, strikes a mortal blow lo the enemies of the race. Every colored man who fails to strive for self development is the greatest enemy of his own race. Considering his splendid physical heritage, coupled with his inherent spiritual attributes, the Negro will eventually play an Important part in the history of civilisation.

But the march of colored progress is being greatly retarded because of the enemies within the camp. Nor will the enemies be destroyed by legislation. Legislation has never succeeded In making a race good or sober. It never will. Education it the Solution.

Education that is free from denominational control. Education that imparts TRUTH. The problem of the race will disappear like snow in June when the colored man, hy sell oeveiopmeni ann education, achieves mental ano moral innVnrnriVnct from the white man Those who profess to see the influence of the white man. in every moral lapse of the colored man, are bigots. Those who explain away every colored failure as the "result of white domination" only aggravate the difficulties and contribute nothing to the progress of the race.

It it the earnest wish of the writer that the colored people will face the problems of the race in the me spirit of fearlessness. Actuated with a genuine desire for truth id fur self de velopment, they will haten he day when tbe faker, will fall to rise no more. That will be tbe" dawn of a new era for the colored man. B.
