PUSTORATE
Career As Head ol
Metropolitan Church
FOR NINE YEARS
i MEMPHIS. Tenn. January 1.
" Dr. S A Owens, distinguished
pastor of th ' Metropolitan Baptist
church, has tendered his resigna
t in to this body after nine year;
of excellent service. News ot his
resignation and expected depart
■i e frm । Memphis some time in
the near future had brought ex
pressions of" deepest regrets from
luindreds of colored and white
fi iends all over the city.
Expected to Pastor in Birmingham
Having been a constructive in
fo.'me in this community, in many
phas's of I'fe whereever Negroes
stood in need of a spiritual, an edu
cational or a civic program to
quicken tiieir senses of obligations
toward God and man. the record
of Dr. Owens is a brilliant example
of a noble haracter. He said that
he expects io continue his pastorial
work at the 16th Street Baptist
church in Birmingham.
An Educational Leader
In a large portion of the south
where he has pastured. Rev. Owens
has combined educational work
with his church services. Following
his graduation from Morehouse col
lege. Atlanta, he went to Florida
and pastured in that state for eight
nears. He did educational work for
J five years of that time at the Flo
rida Memorial college. A call to
the presidency of Roger Williams
at the time this institution was lo
cated at Nashville, brought the dis
tinguished minister to the state of
Tennessee. He served as president
of Roger Williams for three years
and then came te Memphis to be
come pastor of the Metropolitan
Baptist church. After Roger Wil
liams was moved to Memphis and
a merger between this school and
Howe college was effected, he was
selected chairman of the board of
trustees, having resigned this po
sition just a few weeks ago.
’Round Columbus

Happy New Year everybody and
many happy returns of n ie day. As
we greet you at the beginning of
another year I trust you have made
those New Year resolutions and
will do a.'! that you can to keep
them
A young lady "around Columbus
Town" reminds us of the fact that
I his is Leap Ycai This should help
some ol us old bachelors to take
a step in the direction of matri
mony, that is if some young lady
would be kind enough to propose.
At the beginning of each New
Year I, and perhaps others, wonder
what the New Year will bring.
Since it is impossible to see into
the future we can only hope that
it will bring prosperity and happi
ness to all and will be better than
the previous year.
Ai: is my usual custom 1 am par
tuking of a menu of peas and hog
jowl today hoping that it. will bring
me an abundance of good luck
during the present year. From the
way that things were during the
past year I think that I should have
i aten a barrel of peas and hog jowl
instead of just a bowlful. But ttie
tiast has gone never to return so
lit’:; forget it and look to a blight
future
Today down at the Spencer High
■hool we are to celebrate the
Emancipation Proclamation and the
peaker of Hie day is Chaplain L
A. Carter <!' the 24th Infantry
'haplain Carter is a very powerful
[leaker and you will be wel' en
tertained if you go to the High
ehool this afternoon at two o'clock.
There is also going to be some very
good singing and other good num
bers on the prog,ram so don't fail
’o he present.
Speaking of the New Year, the
beginning of a new year should al-1
vays make us glad and till us with
• lope. It is another chance which is
given to make good. There are
three hundred and sixty six days
in the present year spread out be
fore us. In any one of these days
the idea may come that will lead
Io success.
Our shortcomings have manifes
ted themselves to us during the past
year and the New Year presents to
us a golden opportunity which we
should try hard to make the most
of and upon realizing our mistakes
during the year which lias just pas
sed we should be better prepared
to face the obstacles and difficul
ties of life during the New Year.
In closing we wish for all of our
readers and all the happiest and
most prosperous New Year that
you have ever experienced and in
the meantime so long until Sunday.

Currents Of Life
In Memphis
By C. J- James
MEMPHIS. Tenn., Jan. 1-
Never before in the history of
the American Negro has Christ
mas held so little and meant so
little of material gain; especially
in Memphis. Domestic work is
scarce and common day and week
ly work in white establishments
are being given to needy whites
Porters, cooks, mechanics, truck
drivers and chauffeurs who here
tofore could rely upon making
Christmas a joyous day for their
families and friends can barely
supply their own personal want'
and needs-
To get a clear picture anil read
facts about the conditions existing
among the Memphis Negroes, go

ACTION. OS.
MEKER SHS
NEW METHODS
By DR. WALKER
MEMPHIS. 'l'enii.. Dec. 20—
The changing prices in commo
dities. and deflation in real e:tatei
call for readjustments in all busi-i
nesses and put a sincere tost tOi
all small business concerns. Every |
business conducted by colored peo-j
pie fall in the class of small busi •;
ness. There must be a change ini
methods if businesses conducted by |
our people are to survive and go on j
even through 1932. New methods!
will revive our businesses and put|
them on a paving basis, if applied ।
in the rio.ht place and at the right,
time.
We cannot afford to follow the
old beaten and worn out path. Ore ,
grocery stores, and drug stores and j
many other places handling com-1
modifies, must make places for mass I
action, and make an appeal to a:
greater number of customers. In
other words the profits must be I
smaller on most articles but may |
be compensated bv doubling the,
sales.
The keenest competition in busi
ness will obtain in 1932. We must
prepare ourselves to meet this com
petition or make our exit. Gur
banks and insurance companies
have suffered not so much from lesv.
deposits or premium income, but
from the greatest reduction in real
estate value in a geenration.
Those who are entrusted with
funds should look more to invest
ing in liquid securities rather than
for profit. An investment yielding
the most profit has the least secur
ity back of it. The old adage "ex
perience is a great teacher." should
serve us well in 1932 because we
have learned our leson, even if
we forget it soon.
Many theories have been ex
pounded to explain our plight and
many more will be written before
this situation is cleared up.
