TMB THE ADVOCATE tike Sanitary A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY STRENGTH AND SONG: — The Lord la my strength and song, and He I* become my salvation—Exodus U:*. Give us men and women. O Lord; give u* men and women I When Hannibal, the indominable swarthy skinned king of Carthage, brought his army across the mighty Alps, he pointed down to the Valley of the Po and exclaimed: “Beyond you lie* Rome Take it!" With a courage as great »nd heart a* fearelaa, one today can point the eye* of the Negro to an unlim ited fleld of opportunity and cry: "Be yond you He* success. Take it!" Success is not within the power another man or race to give. It within ourselves Twelve millions of as in one conn try! Tblpk of It! Twelve millions! Great God. what potential power! What endlees wealth! What limitless chance tor achievement! Twelve mil lions who are searching for the light and with all so blind that they grope in darkness seeking the way out! Beyond you lie* success! Take it! Do something! Hope for something! Achieve something' Stop being beg gars outside the closed gates! The path of ages is litered with the memories of nations that achieved with les* than twelve mUlions! Think of the Jew In this country, with less than four million*. He is hated, despised and spat upon; but he strive* on. Let us strive, too! "Beyond you lies Rome! Take It!" If you fail it will be because you are not worthy to win! But you will not fall! None can tail who truly try! THE SPIRIT OF LAFAYETTE (By L. B. Stewart) Among the news Items of the week appear* an account of the assistance which France rendered to Ethiopia ns* Abyssinia, the African empire In the letter's effort to gain admission to the League of Nations. Another chapter thereby is added to an al ready lengthy historical record of the instances In which thl* great nation ha* given the helping hand to strug- cling nation*, We have but to recall the dreadful, doubtful day* of the revolution and the part France played to realize at least in pert what the ultimate outcome of thl* policy will be. Turkey, whose dismemberment was sought ostensibly in defense of the Christian religion, but in reality for the unhampered acquisition of covetad natural resources, owe* the retention of her sovereignty to the land of Lafayette. And now she stretches forth the hand of fellowship to Ethiopia. How sweet I* the fruit of freedom! Freedom from religion* bigotry; freedom from racial »nd color prejudice; freedom from na tional Jealousy, for it i* not only con ceivable but quite probable that when the wound* made by the heel of the Russian Invader will have heeled, the traditional magnanimity of the peer less leader of world democracy will forgive and forget Viva, La France! CROOKED PREACHERS Several week* ago The Advocate made mention of the dirty deed* of two loeal colored preacher*. Forthat. some people have eeen fit to criticise us for so doing. To all of them let It be known that no one has a great er respect for the ministry than we have. But, first of all, we believe that the ministry I* the highest call ing to be found and that a preacher should practice what he preaches; only In that way can he be a shin ing light and a real leader, not only of hl* own flock but of the people la general. A elaan, moral and intel ligent pulpit Is one of the greatest need* of our race. The minister must be a student of the Bible, a student of sociology. He must pre pare hl* sermon* during the week, and feed hie flock spiritually He mast not spend hi* time chasing the women of hl* flock, or dodging up and down dark alley-waya, drinking boos* and committing other act* of intemperance and immorality.
