NORTHERN HOSTILITY'* TO-
WARD NEGROES.
Events are rapidly shaping tbejn-
Belves in such way that even the
negroes, who abandoned the South
and went North to find themselves
homes among their supposed best
friends, are beginning to appreci-
ate the fact, that they made a grave
mistake in so doing.
The recent race riots at Spring
field, together with a number of
others that have occured within the
past few years in various States
North of Mason and Dixon’s line,
clearly indicates the growing feel-
ing of antagonism which in time
will become bo scute as to force the
negroes to come South for safety.
The white people of the North
do not want the negroes to labor
in competition with them, and
since no branch of industry is left
open exclusively to the latter, as in
the South, they are forced by the
very necessities of the situation into
such competition. Hence while
the immediate provocation to out-
breaks of violence against the race
may be the commission of some
shocking crime by the negro, the
incontrollable slaughter of innocent
members of the rac& and the wan-
ton destruction of their property,
fihds its origin back 'of that in the
labor problem.
In the South no such conditions
exist. There are many fields of
activity open for the negro in which
he will meet with comparatively
little competition. - The South
offers him every inducement
to engage in profitable
work for which he is by nature
peculiarly adapted, and it guar-
antees him full protection of life,
liberty and prosperty so long as he
observes the laws and does not
otherwise jnake himself offensive
by insisting on the exercise of pri-
vileges for which he is now payiAg
very dearly in the North.—Hous-i
ton Post. , /
The friends of R.‘ Q. Mills all
over the country will lie glad to
know that, the recent operation was
a success and that he is rapidly
improving. •

Last week the Teague Tribune
issued it’s first birthday edition,
which contained 24 pages, filled
with cartoons of the business men

it was a credit to Teague and the
Tribune’s management.

7 RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Qama Gleaned From th* Teaching*
of All Denominations.
More sympathy has been pressed Into

Into volumes of poetry.—Rev. Llewel-
lyn Brown, Baptist, Cleveland, O.

ator, God.—Rev. L. A. Manley, Baptist,

Happiness From Levs.
The greatest determining factor In
domestic happiness Is love, and with-
out love In The heart there can be no
happiness Tmtehe home.—Rev. W. W.
Bustard, Baptist, Boston.
One ofjQod’s Calls.
The call from*the Great Teacher to
love even enemies Is really s call to get
acquainted with folks as they really
are.—Rev. A. G. Btngsen, Congrega
tlomallst, Providence, JEL L
Great Field For Personal Workers.
The greatest work Is not dime by the
man who works In the pulpit, but the
greatest Held lies open to the personal
worker, the personal evangelist—Rev.
C. M. Boswell, Methodist, Baltimore.
One Use of Recreation.
Recreation should glorify God. It
should develop man along divinely ap-
pointed lines. It should make him
stronger and more capable. It should
put him In such condition that God can
use him more effectively when be
needs him.—Rev. De Witt M. fienham,
Presbyterian, Baltimore.
Christ’s Measure of a Man.
When a man wants to measure up to
the full measure of life, then Jesus
Christ comes and helps him. When
Christ measures a map, he does not
ask the man of his failures. He says.
HI measure a man for bis possibilities,
for what he la.”—Rev. B. J. Cann, Bap-

Society's Great Need.
The great need in oih* social life to-
day Is for women, whether In the van-
ity fair of fashion or In the quiet of the
home, to embody and exemplify the
simple Christian graces—gentleness,
patience, contentment, reverence. It Is
women more than men who give tone
and character to society.—Rev. Dr. St
Clair Haater, Episcopalian, Brooklyn.
- A Woman’s Levs.
Nowhere is the yearning of the soul
afty God more wonderfully expressed
than In the great poem called Solo-
mon’s Bong. This classic makes use of
the strongest deepest purest thing,ln
the world—a woman’s love—to show
that It Is with such intensity we
shoujd seek our Lord and Master. It
la thus we should give him the best we
have and all we have, and finally, by
being united to him, we shall find peace
and eternal Joy.—Rev, F. E. Hopkins,
Congregationalism Chicago. <
v The University of the People.
The true type of basic social organ-
ization Is an association of the people
of a municipality to raise the standard
of living In that place. Only a Hying
and learning church can survive the
ilnal shock of social changes and be
(he agent of the perpetual adventure
of the soul. The church tnuat become
the university of tbs people. The re-
ligious association whose basis of com-
munion Is wholly educational and prac-
tical la plainly elected to lead the way.
—Rev. Charles Ferguson, Unitarian.
