CLEAR NOTE SOUNDED
By ATLANTA PASTORS
FOR REIGN OF LA W
The following excerpts from eermoni
delivered by the ministers of Atlanta
ara given to the public with the hope
that the strong word* spoken will help
to cryetallse a hearty and Immovable
public opinion against crime and all
forma of mob violence.
This la one step taken by the mlnla
ters In co-operation with tha officers of
the Business Men'e Gospel Union, to
ward an effort to readjuat the relation,
of the races at the South.
The Christian League, recently dr
ganlxed In thla city with members from
both races, Is now attempting to bring
order out of confusion and harmony out
of discord and hate, through a sane,
sound public opinion, to become domi
nant among all the. people. The end
sought Is concerted effort to Inspire In
all the people a greater respect for the
law.
There la naeded strong public santl
ment to back up the law upon the fol
lowing propositions:
1. That criminal assaults upon worn
en constitute the moat villainous crime
known to the catalogue of Iniquities
and must be puntehed to the very ex
tent of the law In the execution of the
criminal.
2. That death by mob violence Is
murder, outright, and can have no ex
cuse or countenance In Christian clvlll
xatlon or Individual or community life.
It violates the law of Ood and tha law
of man as well.
3. That all law-abiding white people
and law-abiding negroes, as far as may
be needed, will aid the proper offleera
of the law to apprehend and bring to
trial all offenders aralnst the law,
whether Individuals or mobs, regardless
of race, with such proof to convict a,
may be within their knowledge and
control.
4. That It la the duty of every cltlxen
to be absolutely obedient to law and to
maintain the peace of tha community
ns far as His power and Influence mny
go. /
6, That In the adjustment of all dlf.
ferences between the racea absolute
Justice os to all legal rights shall be
secured to each Individual, Irrespective
of race or social condition.
8. That the press of the state may be
uaed to create. In every possible way.
such public sentiment as will maintain
obedience to law.
That all the people may pron —,
positively, against all undue delays by
the courts, whether In forma of the law
or through petty technicalities that
Anally defeat the end of Justice, and
demand such .changes In the law aa will
make the penalties for violation swift,
certain and effective.
W. J. NORTHE.N’.
REV. W. A. FOUNTAIN.
Pastor Allen Temple A. M. E. Church
Gal. 6:14. St. Paul would have all
rational creatures and Christians
know that all tha commandments of
the second tnble touching the mutual
duties of Ilfs—honesty,- truth, peace,
charity and law—are fulfilled In these
word*, "Thou shall love thy neighbor
as thyself."
JSod expects the people and especially
the rulers In the church and the state
to love and obey Him. This Is incum
bent upon all men. Irrespective of creed,
mtltlral party or color. Grow rfire-
'ess toward hla great Ideal of living
and get Intoxicated with prosperity
and fall to practice the golden rule and
thla country, like Carthage end Rome,
will beeome a hlaa and a byword among
the nations.
We are all on trial before God ahd
man. We have grown too careless In
our respect for both the moral and
civil laws. We arc our brother's keep
er and we can only be this by respect
ing the moral and the civil codes. “We
are member* one of another,” and aa
auch- we have relative duties which
trow out of our mutual relationship,
n order for the Interest of all we must
call upon the conservative, peace-lov
Ing cltlsens everywhere, Irrespective of
color, to acknowledge the great truth
of the text that, all the law la fulfilled
In one word, even In thla, "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor aa thyself." Only
by a strict adherence to thla Injunc
tion will the majesty of the law be up
held. Ood Is us much a God of racea
us of Individuals and Hla favor, Ilka
His spirit, will not always strive with
men.
Will America, after her mud baths
of crimes, lynching* and discrimina
tions, ever rise to the dignity of i
Christian nation? Thla question la be-
Ing answered right hers In Georgia by
the men who compose the recently
organised League to readjust the re
latlona of the races. The only solution
to the perplexing problem Is to be
found In practicing tha Injunction of
our text.
Wa desire It known to the world that,
aa a race, we condemn the rapist, the
lynchers and all other criminals while
we assure the people that In our re
spectable homes these classes nre not
to be found. We stand ready to hunt
down the criminals In dlvea and other
notorious places and land every possi
ble assistance to the offleera of the law
In ferreting out and bringing to swift
and apeedy Justice alt criminals. We
emphasise that wa want them brought
to Justice, not to blood-thlrety mobs and
lynchers, but to Justice. We are earn
est In our contention that crime hOa
no color and all criminals should be
brought to Justice. As our hearts ora
right on thla subject, will not our
white brethren give ue the assurance
that the trenxled mob ahall not tram
ple the majesty of the law under their
savage feet? "Is thine heart right a*
my heart Is with thy heart? If It
be give me your hand.”
We are all agreed that tha lawless,
vicious element among ua le our
greatest drawback. Thla element per
sists In being the mllleton* about oar
neck. They are seen,In dlvea and
alums of our cities and on the high
ways, railroads and country districts
well. That multitudes of our
ng people are rushing to dei
tlon over the precipice of Intemperance
end Immorality are patent facte to the
casual observer.
We appeal with all tha earnestness
our soul to the mothers and fathers
begin early to train their children
the fear, nurture and admonition of
Lord. Only along thla line will law
order be supreme In our eommunl-
Let ua not become discouraged.
Intelligent press and powerful pul-
of the South have decided that our
like other racea, has two classes
—good and bad.
'Ve are secure In the belief that the
gospel of the meek and lowly Naxarene
Is the only panacea for all the prob
lame of life.
REV. g.“h7MACK,
Pastor of Cumberland Presbyterian
Church.
Every set of conditions has Its pres,
ent duty, as well as Its future con
slderatlons. We may not know what
will be the outcome of the complex
workings of the present: we have our
view*, our convictions, our prejudices.
Wo will find that the future Is best
solved, la only solved, by doing right,
eously In the present. Aa statesmen
we may plan for the future—we will
do so as thoughtful people—but that
does not absolve us from doing right
eously now. Righteousness—that is
the solvent.
This performance of present duty
must not wait upon any future devel
opment. The repeal of an nmendment,
waiting until the negro reaches a eer-
In development—these can form no
Bufflcfent reason for doing unjustly
now. Any Injustice done by a part of
the social body muet react for Injury
upon *11. And regarding the negro,
the Christian white men must temper
his actions with mei'cy. For the Afri
can Is the white man's ward and must
be dealt with patiently and with
"long-suffering." No policy of fear
will succeed. The Anglo-Saxon must
stand In the majesty of hla dearly-
bought freedom aa a self-controlling
being, and beoduse of that Intellectual,
moral and Industrial freedom he must
deal In a generous, Christian way with
those who nre not so fortunate.
Society Is made up of Individuals.
And because these are-many we may
not relieve ourselves of responsibility
and hide behind the organised forms of
law. Each of us is under obligations
to help solve a hard question and solve
It In our Individual duties. “No man
llveth unto himself." Aa cltlxen* who
make the laws, as those who employ
men, ns members of a domestic circle
where we touch those of another race,
we each have opr part In the solution
of the difficulties. No lawless outbreak
can help us. The Anglo-Saxon la lnw-
abldlng. If his sense of Justice Is out
raged, he will, If acting sanely, remedy
the evil In a lawful way. Let ua recall
ourselves to fundamentals In a time of
tension and fear.
REV. Q. W. LUKE,
Pastor of McKinley Temple (Colored).
Mat. 7:12. This divine Injunction of
our blessed Lord Is Intended to be the
standard of our conduct at home and
the rule of our actions abroad. It la
called the. golden rule and presupposes
three things:
1. That nil men are expected to love
one another.
2. No man Is entitled to better treat,
ment from others than he la willing to
accord to them, that God takes the will
for the deed, making one’s settled de
sire the criterion and standard of hla
character. Now, then, let the colored
men be no more guilty of violating thla
divine Injunction. Let them do better
by returning to their God, to the
churches and holding to (heir lawful
marital relations.
As for our white friends: We are
here together, our Interests are one, our
welfare Is one. What Is good for on*
la good for the other. What will hurt
one will hurt the other. Let us now
and henceforth forget the things of the
past and, It may be .the prejudices of
the present, while we renew that aame
old friendly relation for each other that
existed twenty-live years ago.
Out of more than 60,000 negroes with
in and around Atlanta I do not think
I would he wrong to say that not more
than 10.000 of them are churchgoer*.-
The other 40,000 are- spending their
time on the Rabbath In pool rooms,
rambling dent, whisky and beer sa-
oons, or riding about on electric cars.
From these claaae* come alt the bad
negroes that make the law-breaking
class.
