It is your privilege as well as ours to disagree with Kite and she invites your opinion upon subjects she discusses from time to time in her column. I have b e e n reading L e w i s Brownes' "Stranger than Fiction”- and jfastjnating do I find i t I have just finished Chapter X II in which Browne tells us of the despair of the few “ Pious” ones over the cor ruption, cruelty, injustice jmd vice that prevailed among the small handful of Jews in Judah after their many persecution* And he tells us that of the “ Pious” ones, "the chief protestant was a prophet whom we know as Malachi and tho priestly ideas had taken fast hold on him, there was still much of the old pro phetic spirit ablaze in his preach ment-. But in vain did he raise his voice for the day had almost pass ed when a prophet could command the respect o f the mob. The W ord of God had lost its power in Judah and only the word of some earthly authority could carry any weight in the land now” . Thus speak, Browne in his inspi red book Let us take out of his paragraphs the name "Judah” and insert in its stead “ Black America”. Is it not a true picture of today? But where is our prophet Malachi? As I read the address of W . E. B. DuBois in last week's Advocate and as I read his notes in each ^nonth's Crisis. I feel that I am right in believing that in DuBois do we find the power of Malachi, Nehemiah and those other Jewish leaders of the old days. But he can not do the task he has set for him- seify—alone— My people must weld themselves into a loyal supporting body to follow this leader if we would take our rightful place in the sun. W e cannot waste our energies quarreling among ourselves—toe cannot go forward if we fight each other for economic, social or politi cal leadership.
