North Carolina Mutual Observes Fortieth
: _. Anniversary
OCTOBER 20th A MEMORABLE DAY
Company Proves Ability of Negroes to Operate Big
: Business.
4
OCTOBER 20th marks a memorable occurrence in the history, of NORTH
CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of Durham, N. C.
It was on this-occasion forty years ago that John Merrick in O aaciatiGn with
Dr. A. M. Moore called about him a small group of men for the purpose of
organizing a company, the purpose of which was to stimulate concreted effort
and thus set in motion an agency that would safeguard the financial interests
of the underprivileged. Out of this meeting grew what later was to be known
as the NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
From year.to:year the company broadened its sphere of operation, until
today it offers to the public a line of modern, approved, legal reserve coverage
that is complete in every respect.
Since its founding, the company has shown steady and persistent growth,
having paid to policyholders and beneficiaries over seventeen million dollars
in benefits. At the end of 1937 insurance in forcé amounted to $41,521,952,
with assets Over five million dollars. Both sums have increased materially
during the present year.
The institution had its beginning at a time when few Négroes had any true
conception of what life insurance really meant to the family life. As a result,
its growth was not phenominal, yet its progress was steady and consistent.
It is to be noted that during the past ten years, admitted assets have more than
doubled as the schedule of income and admitted assets will indicate.

LEARNING FROM ONE ANOTHER
And let us consider one another to
provoke unto love and to good work.
Heb. 10:24. é
“In this conference we may grate-
fully claim that the Spirit of God has
made us willing to learn from one
another, and has given us a fuller vis-
ion of the truth and enriched our
spiritual experience.” (ibid).
We have all met the man who knows
so much that he cannot be’told any-
thing. I know a minister-who has a
word of criticism for everybody and
everything. He feels that his opinion
is the last word on every issue. Con-
sequently, he does not get along well
with his fellows and closes his mind
to that help he could derive from the
opinion and views of others.
We remember the old saying:
“Sometime it is well to take a fool’s
advice.”
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, we
thank Thee for what we have learned
from others. May we always be eager
to accept the truth and gloryfy the
Father.

of our separation, a common Christian
outlook and a common standard of
values. We are therefore, assured of a
unity deeper than our divisions.” (ibid)
In proportion as we come together

The fourth and last quarterly con-
ference of Columbia District, Bethel
A. M. E. Church was held September
30th, with the Rev. S. L. Howard,
presiding elder. At 8 o'clock he called
the session to order, and asked the
Rey. A. Ji Leath, pastor of Culeska _
Circuit to conduct the deyotional ser-
vices. The Presiding Elder then made
a very brief talk and praised the Lord, —
for keeping and bringing us safely thus
far. He also commended the pastor
for being an efficient leader to have
léd the members as Moses led the
children through the Wilderness, and
building the beautiful new Bethel on
corner 11th and Glade Streets. This
has been our banner quarter, we raised
over $500 for building purposes, and
paid our Presiding Elder in full, also
gave our pastor a liberal sum. Many
good things were said of our pastor
and his good wife. We are asking
their return to us, and our Presiding
Elder also who has been a great help
to us. We hope to complete our
church in the early future. All visitors

EXODUS 20:8 Remember the Sab-
bath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days
shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto
Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not
do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy
maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates: 11 for
in six days Jehovah made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day: wherefore
Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it. ~

one of the synagogues on the sabbath
day. 11 And behold, a woman that had
a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and
she was bowed together, and could in
12 And when
Jesus saw her, he called her, and said
to her, Woman, thou art loosed from
thine infirmity. 13-And he laid his hands
upon her: and immediately she was
made straight and glorified God. 14
And the ruler of the synagogue, being
moved with indignation because Jesus
had healed on the sabbath, answered
and said to the multitude, There are
six days in which men ought to work:
in them therefore come and be healed,
and not on the day of the sabbath. 15
But the Lord answered him, and said,
Ye hypocrites, does not each one of you
on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass
from the stall, and lead him to water-
ing? 16 And ought: not this woman
being a daughter of Abraham, whom
Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen
years, to have been loosed from this
bond on the day of the sabbath? 17
And as he said these things, all his ad-
versaries were put to shame: and all
the multitude rejoiced for all the glor-
ious things that were done by him.

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
: TO DATE
By John R. Ewers
Our business is to bring the lesson
“down to: date.” In this entire ques-
tion of Sabbath observance, or the
modern, use of Sunday, we face a rather
new factor—the so-called “week-end.”
It is an importation. It is distinctly
European. There, for many years,
many people have taken Saturday aft-
ernoon and all day Sunday to get away
from home, either into the country or
to the home of friends. It was a re-
action from the teeming, overcrowned,
high-tensioned city. For ten years the
habit has been growing in our country.
A new impetus has been given to it by
the shorter work-week. Few people,
relatively, now work on Sundays, and
the majority of shops close down on
Friday evenings. All of Saturday and
all of Sunday, therefore, are unoccu-
pied; and the temptation to run away
from the locality of one’s more or less
unattractive work becomes irresistible.
Roads are congested with automobiles,
hotels fill up, beaches and golf clubs
become crowded, as millions speed a:
oe Aaa!
“nome.
-1nis has become a most serious prob-
jem. copie are not content to take
Saturday on} tmey want Sunday also.
apims im tne mountains and upon the
suores OI lakes multiply. Many cnurcn
members now have country nomes o1
various Kinds. Many nave bougnt
Iarms, otners belong to tar-aistant
ciubs. Many dash OF to visit relatives.
dney justity this by the ratner talse
jaea that modern lite is increasingly
trying that men have to work more in-
tensely while they work, and that the
Tisks, insecurities and tensions ot mod-
ern business consume their energies.
jthus they excuse themselves. ‘Lhe
“week-end” has become a well estab-
ushed institution among us, and public
worship sutters. ‘lwo little lads stood
an the door of our Sunday School
building. A fine, big car swept around
the corner tull of laughing men whose
golf clubs were apparent. One boy
said to the other: “Gee, I'll be glad
when 1’m big enough to go golting on
Sunday.”
A leading railroad official asked his
rector if he thought there would be any
harm in his playing golf on Sunday.
Lhe wise rector replied: “No, I do not
see any great harm in it, but please re-
member that you are one of the most
admired men in this town. All of the
boys will want to imitate anything you
do.” <A strange look came into the big
man’s eyes and then, after a while, he
said: “Yes, 1 see what you mean—
church.” And he kept his word.
Our city sees an exodus ol men,
women and children over the week-
ends. That means empty Sunday
School classes, empty pews, empty
treasuries. The week-end is wrecking
the modern church. We have not
learned how to use leisure. We abuse
it. Probably we shall continue to run
away from our obligation until a deluge
of banditry, dishonesty and rotten mor-
alty will drive us back to God. Plainly
the week-end habit is perfectly selfish.
It means that we use the city alto-
gether for business—to make money.
It means that we disregard the church
as an organization of any value. It
means that we allow other people to
operate the church while we run away
to enjoy ourselves. Is that a Christian
attitude? It is the very antithesis of
Christianity. Moreover it creates a
class consciousness. People who do
not have cars or who cannot afford the
expensive week-end are compelled to
stay in town and to run the church.
This is not right.
We know that the modern commer-
cial city is a monstrosity. Already we
are trying by slum clearance, by su-
burbs, by swimming pools and playing
fields, by new boulevards and the like}.
to make it a bit more lovable. We
know that the modern city is a thing to
escape. But in the interval the church
must not be allowed to suffer. The
modern church year begins in late
October and ends at Easter. May,
June, July, August, September—these
five beautiful out-of-door months are
the week-end months. One of the
best churches I know is closing this
year for all of July and August. Has it
come to that? Right now one third of
the average city church membership
is lost through the week-end habit.

holy.” Yes, Sunday is made for men

and local governments will be able to
provide when aided by the Federal
Government.”
“The State organization responsible
for old-age assistance is required to
provide an opportunity for a fair hear-
ing to any individual whose applica-
tion is denied or whose assistance is
reduced or discontinued.”
“When a State has had its plan for
aid to the needy approved by the So-
cial Security Board, the Federal Goy-
ernment will grant funds to the State
to be used for od-age assistance. Tf
the State allots to a needy aged person
$25 a month, then, under the act, the
Federal Government will grant to the
State one-half of this amount, or $12.50.
The State in turn pays the total a-
mount of $25 directly to the individual.
The same division of financial respon-
sibility between the Federal Govern-
e applies to any a-
mount fixed by the State as meeting
the needs of the applicant, up to a Fed-
eral-State total or $30 a month. A
State may pay more than $30:a month
but the act limits the Federal Govern-
ment’s contribution to a maximum of
$15. Under this act no Federal funds
may be paid for an individual who has
not reached the age of 65 or one who
is an inmate of a public institution.
“If there is no provision for assis-
tance to the needy aged in a State, or
if the present State law does not meet
the conditions for approval as set forth
in the Federal Social Securit i
will be necessary for that fet

Planning the Meeting
The three meetings of this month
have brought out the essential points
which make up the religion of Islam,
the number of people participating in
it, where they live, how they worship,
etc. =
To complete the study we should
have a careful and direct look at he
central characters of the two religions,
theirs and ours, and then arrive at
some decisions which will help the mis-
sionary cause, especially as it concerns
the Moslem world. ‘
What important things do you know
about Jesus?
This is a good place to start, because
the societies spent so much time in the
study of Him. The following questions
will start the discussion:
What was strange and different about
Jesus’ birth? Why did Jesus come to
earth as a boy and as a man? What
relation did He claim to the Father?
What relation did the Father claim to
Jesus? What was Jesus’ record in the
matter of sin? What message did He
give to the world? Why did Jesus not
make His way by force? How did He
expect His way of living to prevail
through the world?
What is to be known about Moham-
med at points which would compare
with the life of Jesus?
Mohammed was a self-seeking man.
With good motives he sought to be a t
reformer, but he used his success in
getting a following to bring himself
still greater position. (Jesus never
sought distinction or fame for Himself,
but ever tried to avoid the crowds -o
people who wished. to see Him. He
was more concerned with a few than
with a multitude.) x
Mohammed was a sinful man.
had little or nothing to say about sin,
except that which had to do with
breaking the rules he claimed to get
from God. He made no approach to
sinlessness. (Jesus lived His life with-
out sin. Nobody could ever point at
Him and say He broke God’s law, or
worked against God or man. And be-
cause He was sinless, He could pay the
penalty for sin which He did not de-
serve, and thus make up for the sins
of other. men.)
Mohammed’s teaching about good_
ness was not based on the condition
of the heart, but on doing or not doing
certain things. (Jesus insisted that
goodness is inside, in the heart; that if
this be given over to God, all the deeds
will be on the side of right.) ¥
Mohammed was a man of war. When
he had strength enough to get together
an army, he forced all who were block-
ing his way to submit to him. He had
visions of the establishment of a great
world power going across he conti-
nents in the name of a “holy war.”|-
(Jesus refused to use force at any point
_eyen to defend Himself from His ene-
¢] we cannot go on year after year in-
He| must come.”
»| versal, eR
mies, “My kingdom is not of this
world,” He said.)
Mohammed was never noted for his
sacrifice or for his loving service to
others. There is no cross in his re-
ligion, no self-denial, no suffering such
as Gethsemane. (Jesus had in His life
such qualities as obedience, service,
compassion, tenderness, forgiveness,
love.)
A Special Ending
This meeting may well end with a
period in which the Juniors themselves
give brief testimonies about their will-
ingness to follow Jesus; that when com-
parison is made, Jesus is seen to be the
ideal Saviour, etc. ;
Plans should also be made to have
the final meeting of the series one
which will set up several projects to
continue the society’s missionary in-
terest.

efficiency, establishing a record of service unbroken by wars, epidemics or
depressions. During the past: year, admitted assets reached $5,108,472, which
figure represents a gain of $391,869 over the previous year. Adequate reserve
is maintained to guarantee the full payment of every policy at maturity. In com-
menting on the company’s standing the Dunne’s Reporting Service has this to
say; “From our anatysis of NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSUR-
\NCE-COMPANY, Durham, North Carolina, we conclude it is entirely worthy
of the highest confidence, and so recommend it to the public.”
The operation of the company throughout the years has been with a view
to permanent security. A “Mutual” organization such as NORTH CAROLINA
MUTUAL, is, in its truest sense, the property of the policyholders themselves.
Just as deposits in a bank are the property of the respective depositors, in like
manner life insurance premiums are held in trust to be property handled and
so invested that the company may prove an unfailing source of strength and
dependability.
The working personnel of the company embraces more than eleven hundred
trained Negro representatives, including a home office staff of over a hundred
young mén and women who have been given an opportunity to put to practical
use the specialized training received by them in schools and colleges. In thus
creating opportunities for employment, NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL has
not only proved a hayen for widows and orphans through the payment of
invested savings, but is extending its benefits to deserving’ young men and
women through the creation of opportunities for employment that are unsur-
passed.
In extending its field of operation to the Stafe Pennsylvania, it is, not |
with the intention of curtailing’ operation in the several states in which it has |
been operating for the past forty years, but rather to bring to the people of
Pennsylvania the economic and financial opportunities the officials of the com-
pany feel that they deserve.
The fact that NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL has been continuous opera-
tion for nearly half a century is proof conclusive that the company IS NOT AN
EXPERIMENT BUT A SOUND, DEPENDABLE INSTITUTION.
Negro business is growing, and will grow faster and larger if it is encouraged
by its own people. Keep the star of hope shining brightly in the Negro’s
future by supporting business owned and managed by Negroes and operated
for the benefit and best interest of the ‘group they serve.

If we would carry out the true spir-
it of missions we must turn to Christ
and His golden rule. The Macedonian
cry of “Come over and help us” is
heard from every nook and corner of
the globe. The wounded and bleeding,
the sorrowing, the oppressed are look-

but for an age filled with the spirit of
The word missions, sent, to spread
abroad, clean up, herald the good tid-
ings of Christ, the greatest Missionary.
His was to seek and to save that
which was lost. The command to man
is to go. Whither are we going?
Every one has a mission. What is
your mission in this common human-
ity? Some are to teach, some to preach,
others. to remain at home, still others
to go abroad and minister to our breth-
ren in foreign lands.
What will we do with our civiliza-
tion’s economic, scientific and intellect-
ual gains? These are worse than use-
less if they are used by a people un-
fitted by their twisted characters to
use them properly. Our material re-
sources, our discoveries and inventions,
our philosophies are only tools in our
hands.
What we will build depends upon
the quality of the spirit of those that
use them. If they are wielded by men
of creed and prejudice they will be de-
structive. On the other hand if they
are wielded by men of friendliness and
devotion to high ends they will build
a finer social order which may be the
city of John’s vision descending out of
heaven. 5
We must remember that the most
potent forces are the spiritual forces.
It is the work of the church and of
Christian religion to keep these spirit-
ually strong, clean uppermost in the
hearts and minds of men. Mussolirli

21 CATHOLIC SCHOLARS FINISH
REVISION OF ST. JOHN, GOSPEL
By Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 5.—En-
tire revision of the English translation
of the Gospel of St. John has been
completed by a group of 21 Catholic
scholars after two years’ effort, it «was
announced today.
The new translation was distributed
to high Catholic churchmen attending
the National Catechetical Congress of
the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.
It was un-official and subject to change
before being adopted. The Theo-
logians reported completion of a revision
of the Saltimore Catechism No. 2

Some Changes.
Famous quotations rephrased by the
Scriptural scholars included: “I am the
voice of one crying in the wilderness,”
which now reads: “I am the voice of
one crying in the desert.”
In chapter ii, verse 25, a section
read:
“Jesus said to her, I am the resur-
rection and the life; he that believeth
in Me, although he be dead. shall live;
and everyone that liveth, and believeth
in Me, shall not die forever.”
This has been changed to read:
“Jesus said to her, I am the resur-
rection and the fife; he who believeth
in Me, even if he die, shall live; and
whoever lives and believes in me shall
never die.’” N
“Didymus” “Twin.”
Another change occured in chapter
xx. verse 24. It now reads:
“Now Thomas, one of the twelve.
who is called Didymus. was not with
them when Jesus came.”
The new version reads:
“Now Thomas, one of the twelve,
called The Twin, was not among them
when Jesus came.”

cleverness and wit, who scoff at every-
thing that is worth while, who assume
that sharpened intellect’s raison d’etre
is to destroy and not to create, There
knows how to adjust himself to things

effort the more complete appears to
be his failure and the more bitter his
chagrin. He marries a German woman
only to find himself, his wife, and his
little girl frequently humiliated. He
strives to forsake his Jewish world for
the larger German world only to en-

Health Giving Springs Project $6,480,000
YEARLY Is TOO MUCH MONEY TO
LET GO TO WASTE. THE UTOPIAN Conservation
Trust Estate, has a Co-operative Mutual Benelit
Plan. If used, will save the above amount and di-
vide it among its associates. At present they have a
group of Mineral Health Giving Springs, A Free Gift
From Nature. If these Springs produce 5 gallons of
water per minute at 50 cents each, and the water is
not saved, the loss is $150 pév hour, $3600 per day,
$108,000 per month, or $6,480,000 per year. Understand this is NA-
TURE’S FREE GIFT. We don’t have to buy material to manufacture
the water. Nature gives us that part in her own way, from her own
Laboratory and sends it up to us to catch, bottle, sell, and keep the
money, which we now let go to waste at the rate of $32,400,000 in
5 years. It is impossible to divide the springs into well defined classes
as many Mineral Springs hold in solution a dozen other elements be-
sides the one giving the water its name, and while they are all heal-
ing they are non-injurious. : : ;
The chief reason why physicians prescribe the Natural Mineral
Waters is because they are known to contain, in a natural state, ac-
tive remedial substances. A Mineral Water which is manufactured
and offered to the physicians under the guise of a natural water is a
deception detrimental to the patient. The Sanatorium and Mineral
Springs Co. offers the Best of purity and strength, of natural mineral
waters from Nature’s Laboratory. Used and recommended for human
ills; for internal medication, both heat and cold; also mud and water
ration of health. :
ce ane ite Mrs. Peyton Miller, near Farmville, Va., after having
been given up to die by the Doctors failed to take their opinion, in-
stead she tried Nature’s plan, she drank water from some of the
many springs on her newly acquired place, and immediately began to
Improve, and in a short time she was healed of disorders that had
wrecked her health for years. Thus, this Accidental Discovery of
Mineral Springs and marvelous recovery of this invalid was heralded
everywhere, aud millions have been helped pack to health. Mrs.
Miller, a highly respected colored lady, left many children. Among
them Dr. Miller, of Farmyille, Virginia. _ Since 1874 the ‘ Miller
“family owned these Mineral Springs, until Dr. B. P. Read purchased

: The UTOPIA CONSERVATION group offers to each purchaser
one of its Beneficial Interest at $5.00, an equal share of profits made
from this wasted wealth. Surely no colored person should permit
this great money-saving plan to pass.

JOHN P. GREEN THE SAGE OF
CLEVELAND S
On my visit to Cleveland on Septem-
ber 25, to broadcast on “Wings Over
Jordan” I of course called to see my
old friend, Honorable John P. Green,
who is now in his ninety-fifth year.
COMPLETE LINE OF
YARD
CAPS

see the
Cap and Gown Co.
PHILADELPHIA
PENNSYLVANIA
In the older day John P: Green,
Charles W. Chestnut, and Harry C.
smith constituted the Cleveland big
three. Without meeting with whom a
stranger regarded his visit to Cleveland
as being in vain. While a new gener-
ation has forged to the front and yet
the higher life of the colored people of
Cleveland would be poor indeed, with-
out the record of these pioneers in the
field of lofty endeavor. )
John P, Green was elected magis-
trate, was twice chosen a member of
the State Legislature and once a Sena-
tor, during the eighties when there
were more than a handful of colored
yoters in the city. I first met John
p. Green at the home of Professor
James M. Gregory, where he was house
guest on the occasion of delivering a
lecture on Tousaint L’Ouverture before
the faculty and student body of How-
ard University. He was among the
very first educated colored men it had
been my privilege to meet. He made
a deep and abiding impression upon
me, Which has lasted during more than
fifty years.
During the administration of Presi-
dent McKinley, Mr. Green was made
stamp agent at Washington. His ten
years residence here enabled me to
gain a closer and more intimate ac-
quaintance with the work and worth of
this remarkable man. He was among
he first colored men to graduate from
Cleveland High School, where he im-
bed a fondness for Latin and Greek
nguages which gripped him through-
it his long life with a love that will
t let go. I found him citing Latin
nd Greek quotations with an-unction
id zest rarely found among my ac-
iaintances. His reading desk was
vered with newspapers and maga-
nes, which keep’ him fully abreast of
e times. Among his reading ma-
\crial was a French novel. Mr. Green,
s the oldest member of the Cleveland
r, and practices in the courts every-
y. At his advanced age this example
all but without equal or parallel.
! enjoyed the rare privilege of seeing
cmbossed copies of numerous testi-
onials in his honor by the State
egislature, the Bar Association, the
Oldest Inhabitants, and other civitan
<roups who hold him in highest esteem,
nd point to him with pride as a dis-
‘inguished citizen of Cleveland. A pery
sonal “letter from John
‘eller reciting his long acquaintance
and appreciation for the quality and
his most precious possessions.
Mr. Green not withstanding the
heavy weight of years is still alert in
mind and sprightly in body. On taking
leave he proffered assistance in helping
me down the steps leading to the side
walk. I see no reason from present in-
dications why he may not turn the
‘entury mark and here is hoping such
luck to my sage and veteran friend. »
The untimely taking off of too many
°f our educated men and women has
often filled us with alarm and gloomy
forebodings but we are reassured when
we contemplate the career of such men
4s John P. Green, whose alert faculties
function eygn down to old age, I am’
making a list 6f the celebrated nineties
and over, which includes John P.
Green, Bishop Lane, Bishop. : Hood,
Hon, J. C. Napier, the late Congress-
man Thomas Miller, John R, Lynch,
and R. Re Welght whose days indeed

another. He tries hard to live on the
level of other Germans, but finds it im_
possible to secure employment with
certain firms”and in certain fields.
And when he finds the job the constant
danger of losing it makes life for him
always dreadfully insecure.

and punishment have seemed to purify
and raise to the high level of the
world spirits.
Sometimes it is a youth whom his par-
ents have sent abroad to study and
travel, say in France or England, as a
means of escaping for a while from
German injustices. He develops flu-
ency in the use of foreign languages.
His interests and sympathies become
broad and deep. He is at home with
people. from any part of the world.
Indeed he goes out of his way to form
acquaintanceships with all sorts of
foreigners. He knows no bitterness
and is fundamentally friendly. One
finds much traveled businessmen who
likewise possess this cosmopolitanism,
to say nothing of course of a goodly
number of Jewish scholars.
7. The Jew who has become Ger-
man There are Jews in Germany who
are thoroughly German. They are in-
separably attached to Germany and
things German: language, tradition,
holidays, locality, tastes, modes of life,
the arts. Their whole spiritual life is
shot through with the German spirit.
‘There are those who contend with a
measure of justice that the German
anti-Semitic | movement was
largely by the fact that the Jews were
becoming German too fast.
ent from Germans. His color is dark-
er, his hair is different, and so are his
nose and his mouth. The carriage of

” and even the very set of his feet
A German can usually discover Jewish
identity. Like the Negro in America,
however, thousands of Jews are “lost”
into the German race each year. The
American Negro has no monopoly on
“passing.”
Similarities to Situation of Negro
The situation of the Jew in Germany,
though not identical with that of the
; Negro in the United States, has many
marks of similarity. Like the Ameri-
can Negro the Jew is physically differ-

PROGRESS
A wide gulf separates the mod-
ern funeral director from the
“undertaker” of fifty years ago.
Today we have a highly trained
professional man, using all the
advanced methods of science and
offering a-multitude of services
which were never expected of his
predecessor. As the result of
this advancement, the public re-
ceives protection and comfort in
a time of great need.

friendly to him than others. He fares
better in predominantly Catholic com-
munities than in rabidly Protestant
communities, It is no accident that
the nazi movement grew so dispropor-
tionately fast in East Prussia and North
Prussia. Again, the large cosmopoli-
tan centers are more tolerant toward
the Jew and, of course, allow him great-
er freedom and opportunity. And yet,
also like the Negro in America, the
Jew in Germany finds himself subjected
to prejudice, restrictions and insults
everywhere in the country.
The Jew in Germany suffers worst in
times of calamities and economic dis-
tresses. He enjoys relative peace and
security when the German people are
in good humor and prosperity is in the
saddle. Among the real causes if the
present plight of the Jew is the cruel
treaty of Versailles, the “loss” of the
war that made it possible, and the de-
pression which set in in 1931. Similari-
ties here to the southern reconstruction
years are unmistakable. Once more a
helpless, and, in many respects, an in-
nocent minority has become prey to
demogogism and a poisoned and per-
verted public sentiment. And to be
sure, mistakes of a few of that minority
make still harder the lot of all.

Germans are more or less prejudiced
against Jews. This prejudice has, since
the coming of nazism, become actual.
But, like my nazi-enthusiastic landlady,
hose who have-grown up with Jewish
families from childhood will not allow
the least disparaging word said against
them. Those of us who know the
south recognize here a striking simi-
larity in the attitude of many whites
toward the Negro.
The situation of the Jew in Germany
is unlike that of the Negro in the
United States at same vital points. In
the first place, the Jewish population
is both relatively and absolutely smaller
than in the case of the latter. Jews
constitute less than 1 per cent of the
whole. The half-million Jews are con-
centrated in towns and cities, engaging
largely in businesses and professions.
The Negro constitutes about 9 per cent
of the population of the United States
and a majority of that 9 per cent still
till the soil. In rural Mississippi Ne-
groes outnumber the whites. And if
figures did not lie in South Carolina
Negroes would make up-at least 50
per cent of the population of that rural
state. The grounded in
American soil, he is rooted in
can life: he is here to stay!
