Two Physicians Enlisted.

(Houston Pest W. Grey, have in the reserve corps are now their Both have taken their amination ONE DOLLAR A WEEK At the meeting of the "Old. Landmark" Baptist association, a negro religious organization, which has just been concluded at Cameron, the moderator Barbour, had this to say concerning the negro exodus from the South: nation entering the war with Get many is not the only complex question confronting our nation. The exodus the negro to accept the flattering and many other things he thinks will give rise to his betterment is the greatest problem that concerns the economic and industrial situation of the South. Is it a fact the breach of prejudice and hatred' between the two races is of such magnitude that the great question can not be adjusted peacefully and satisfactorily so that the pleasant feeling that has made our the grandest and foremost In all this Southland in the uplift of the negro can continue to exist? It would truly pay the white man oL the South from a monetary standpoint to look after the matter seriously.

While in the Fart last year I saw that the industrial situation would compel the great business concerns to seek. labor from some section, Laborers could not be obtained from Europe as heretofore--thus they were compelled to seek them from other quarters--the South proved to be the best field. The labor agents, entering the South to remove from its cotton fields, and other industries their laborers, took advantage of the strained feeling existing between the two races and held up to the negro the North as Utopia. For, instance, political rights, equal rights fore the law, nonjimcrowism, better veducational facilities, were among the flat tering offers that touched the inherent feelings of the Southern negro. The Houston Post, which champions and defends the cause of the South, takes a philosophical and righteous view of Lie situation by admonishing the white people of the South that they can not alter the situation by enacting laws preventing the operation of these agents nor by telling the negro, he can not change his place of habitation.

The Post has well said that the proper thing for the white man of the South to do (who is really in" terested in the welfare 'of the South) da to awaken to the true situation of things and afford the protection needed to free us from the injustices perpetrated upon us by officers of the law and many other outrages we are forced to accept because of a peculiar unreasonable Southern sea liment. Inadequate compensation for his labor unsanitary living conditions, poor facilIties for educating his children, a white man and a negro standard of justice be fore the law are some of the injustices: pointed out by the great human defender The Post. With these injustices rent edied, together with his political rights self -guarded, would make the negro till cherish his home in the South above that of any other section. As one born in the South and having lived all of my days here, I see nothing. as I travel in the North, that would in duce me to leave my home.

I would not speak the truth if I say that I didn't really feel it keenly when I think of the treatment given our people by the very ones whom we think and are taught to believe are our friends. We must confess however, that the great advancement along all lines by our people during the last 50 years was largely due to the friendly aid of the Southern white man. I am also cognizant of the fact that the only spot in which the negro can com: mand large estates and become a potent factor among the races of the republic is in the South. The crowded condition of the industrial centers and their attending living quarters present a serious question 88 to how he can maintain good health and develop a strong body. I desire to discuss with you as Chris tian workers and leaders of our Face what should be our duty and the part we should play during this impending crisis.

While we have dicussed at length what the thoughtful. white man of the South should do. we must not' overlook the fact that there is much we can do to help in the solution. I am a firm believer in the gospel of the Christ to settle all questions that are out of har mony with the teachings of Christ. If I understand the significance of the gospel and the glad tidings it brought: to world, its greatest pronouncement the brotherhood of man.

Sentiment beautiful, but sentimentality is not po tential. It evolves upon the negros preacher, first of all, to 80 shape his' messages to his people that there be inculcated in their very lives an aristocracy of virtue, intelligence, truth and fidelity in order that those who des! with them will know they represent people of character and integrity. must be bold in denouncing the and criminals of the race. The negro, living in the dives. rooms, and other cesspools of iniquity and who bring upon us shame and disgrace, must be weeded out.

Those of who work upon the farm must observe the spirit of the foreigner in his industry and economy. Too many of our people do not regard the importance of time and responsibility, not only upon the farms but in all the avenues of industrial Many of them lose. too much time sitting around on the streets on Saturdays eating Bologna sausages, drinking booze, and frittering away the time when they should be cultivating their crops that they may have an abundant harvest. My brethren and sisters of this association which represents the largest area of negro population in Texas, great responsibility rest upon us in helping our people to assimilate the highest prin ciples of Christian virtues, to lift them up and take these shackles from them.
