Aside from the foregoing list of Colored ministers, there are many
thousands of others whose names the writer did not get in his research
but who are known to be faithfully serving on similar or smaller but
none the less important scales in the above or smaller cities, towns,
villages and country districts all over the United States.
[Illustration: THE GLOBE--BETHLEHEM, PA., SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1920
_Eastertide and Springtime_
From spring does Easter get its blend
In new-born life of plants and men,
And thus the two will ever trend,
While God with love the world does tend.
New life and hope in spring are seen,
As fields unfold their rugs of green
Where robins bold in songs serene
Strut forth in cheer that is supreme.
Fresh is the air with fragrant smell;
Calm are the creeks of winter swell;
And pious men will always tell
Of peace they hear in Easter’s knell.
Young crops on farms have just begun
To feel the warmth of golden sun
That sends its beams to dance and run
With little babes in play and fun.
Up from the mire of earth’s black room
White lilies rise in purest bloom
To drive away all tainted gloom
And leave on earth their sweet perfume.
Thus did our Christ from manger start
And served the role of Jesus’ part--
Thence on the cross to give His heart
In pay for sins that must depart.
So to our minds is always borne
That every man can shed his thorn
As did our Christ so bruised and torn
From earth arose on Easter morn.

IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
In no surroundings of childhood, except the home life, is there a more
suitable or fruitful place in which to spiritually nourish and grow up
Colored youths than in the forty-six thousand or more Colored Sunday
Schools where over two million boys and girls are regularly having
impressed upon their tender and open minds the religious teachings of
the Bible.
As a step toward further broadening the Sunday School work among
American Colored children and at the same time enabling them to get
better teachings about the Christian religion, The International Sunday
School Association began in 1911 to organize classes for specially
training Sunday School teachers among the young men and women attending
Colored colleges and large schools. Many white friends to the Race
became interested in this good movement, especially Mr. W. N. Hartshorn
of Boston, Mass., who gave of his own personal money $15,000 to pay the
expenses of a fair trial of the work. This Christian effort has aroused
so much interest and has grown so rapidly that at present upward of two
hundred Colored universities, colleges and large schools have accepted
and given this Sunday School Teachers’ Course a regular place in their
class room studies.
Some of the foremost religious leaders who are helping to direct and
carry on this much needed work among American Colored children are
Bishop Geo. W. Clinton and Dr. R. H. Boyd, both life members of the
International Sunday School Association; Prof. Wm. B. Matthews, member
of the Executive Committee of the above association, Dr. H. G. Lyman,
Supt. of work among Colored people, and Mr. M. L. Finckel, President
of the American Sunday School Union. (Ref.: Work’s Negro Year Book,
1918-1919 edition, pgs. 1-257-8).
THE YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
THE GIRL RESERVE
If she’s a three-angled, true “Y” Girl Reserve;
The world she is willing to Christlike serve:
Her sunshine smiles will come thru rains;
Her kind heart will guide her fertile brains:
She will love to work as well as play;
She will have “good times” but not too gay:
She will swim the streams and camp the woods;
She will love all sports that are pure and good:
And thus she learns “the simple life” reader
To make her some day a great woman leader.
--_Harrison._
Under the sisterly and wise supervision of Miss Eva D. Bowles, as the
first salaried Y. W. C. A. Colored branch secretary in New York City
and since then Executive of Colored Work, the Young Women’s Christian
Association for Colored girls and women has made wonderful progress,
since 1907 when Mrs. Wm. A. Hunton was appointed by the National Board
to investigate and arouse interest in the work. As Special Student
Worker, Miss Catherine Lealted greatly aided in building up and
strengthening this work in Colored schools until she took up work in
another field of uplift.
Today there are over fifty city Y. W. C. A. Colored Branches in as many
cities in 23 states and the District of Columbia; while there are at
least 100 such branches in Colored schools located in 18 States and
the District of Columbia. Just as the school branches are the means
of helping to build up and fortify the practical Christian minds of
the girls who join them; the city branches prove sheltering havens and
protections for self-respecting and self-supporting Colored single
girls and women when they leave such schools and respectable homes
to embark upon the rough oceans of life and desire to nightly anchor
in places of moral protection, social uplift, mental development,
sanitary conditions, congenial companionships, pleasures of innocence
and Christian influences. For the safe arrival and calm anchorage
of such Colored girls and women, the writer assures them that the
following list of addresses is a true compass needle that will, when
they set-sail for a new city port, safely guide them into any of the

Winston-Salem, N. C., Y. W. C. A., 717 East Depot Street.
Youngstown, Ohio, Y. W. C. A., 248 Belmont Avenue.
Among the foremost Y. W. C. A. Colored leaders who are so nobly
and ably assisting Miss Eva D. Bowles in the smooth and efficient
supervision of the above named branches are Misses May B. Belcher,
Crystal Bird, Mabel Brady, Mary E. Jackson, Josephine Pinyon, Lucy B.
Richmond, Adele F. Ruffin, Clayda Williams, Mrs. Charlton Wallace, and
Mrs. Cordella A. Winn. Before her death on December 31, 1919, Mrs.
Marie A. Wilder was one of the most faithful and hardest workers in the
above group.
But the main stream of success connected with this work has come about
through the “working together” “branch relationship” co-operation
on the parts of Mrs. Samuel J. Broadwell, Treasurer; Miss Mable
Cratty, Gen’l Sec’y; Mrs. Jas. S. Cushman, 1st Vice-Pres.; Mrs. John
French, Chairman Execu. Com.; Mrs. Lewis H. Lapham, Sec’y; Mrs. Wm.
W. Rossiter, 2nd Vice-Pres.; and Mrs. Robt. E. Speer, President, who
compose the National Board (white) of The Young Womens Christian
Association of the United States of America. And in the different
cities where they are established the white and Colored branch workers
are carrying on the above co-operations. During the World War, the
War Work Council showed its co-operation by appointing a Colored Work
Committee with Miss Eva D. Bowles as Executive and Mrs. Charlton
Wallace as Chairman and, The War Work Council, “recognizing the loyalty
and need of the colored girls and women in this country, appropriated
$400,000 for the work.”
In speaking of the work of this committee Miss Bowles said, “The Y. W.
C. A. is the only organization that is handling the work with all girls
alike, and the result of its efforts is bound to be the building up of
the confidence of the colored race, not only in the nation itself but
in Christianity. With the colored, as with all other women and girls
throughout the world, the aim of the Y. W. C. A. is a constructive
foundation of Christian ideals. Girls are girls, whatever their race or
complexion. As naturally as a flower demands sunshine and rain, a girl
craves good times, pretty clothes and happiness.”
In closing this vital chapter, the writer can think of no better way
than to quote the following words of Miss Bowles when she summed up the
past and pointed out the future regarding the leaderships of Colored
women among their own people in the United States.
“The war has given opportunity to the colored woman to prove her
ability for leadership. She had her chance and she made good. With all
the strength of having suffered, she will be able, through the patience
born of suffering, to lead the women and girls whom only she can lead.
The time is past for white leadership for colored people. As white and
colored women, we must understand each other, we must think and work
and plan together for upon all of us rests the responsibility of the
girlhood of our nation.”

THE YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
THE “Y” MEN
The buildings where, “Y” men do live
Have comforts like, dear mothers give.
Fine lodgings they are for single men,
Who with the best do want to blend.
Without rank smoke and vulgar swear
Billiards and pool are also there
The gym., the baths and sleeping rooms
Give to their healths the greatest booms.
Night schools and also Christian talks
Do most to guide young “Y” men walks.
--_Harrison._
The 110 Negro college Young Men’s Christian Associations and the fifty
or more city branches is as many cities in twenty-three different
states in the Union are really God-sends to thousands of young Colored
men who prefer to spend their spare minutes in the best places of
physical cleanliness, social purity and mental advancement. These
“Y” branches in the cities are also great blessings for thousands of
intelligent, refined and progressive Colored men who are constantly
visiting strange places on important businesses and want to be sure
they are stopping in modern, sanitary, decent, respectable and
congenial lodgings.
Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, Ill. made an offer in 1911 to give
the sum of $25,000 to every city in the United States that would raise
$75,000 by public subscription for the construction of a Y. M. C. A.
building for the use of Colored people. This offer was gladly and
eagerly accepted and as a result buildings have already been erected
in Atlanta, Ga., Baltimore, Md., Brooklyn, N.Y., Chicago, Ill.,
Columbus, O., Indianapolis, Ind., Kansas City, Mo., New York City, N.
Y., Philadelphia, Pa., Pittsburgh, Pa., St. Louis, Mo., and Washington,
D.C. During the past ten years Mr. Rosenwald has given $350,000 toward
the erection of these buildings, other white people have given nearly a
million dollars, while Colored people have contributed over a quarter
of a million dollars. Thus over two million dollars have already been
expended in the construction of Y. M. C. A. buildings in cities for
Colored men.
Great credit for the early development and rapid growth of this work is
due the late W. A. Hunton, who was made a member on the staff of the
International Secretary Board of the Y. M. C. A. Today this work is
continuing to rapidly grow and spread with the friendly co-operation
and hearty support of Messrs. B. H. Fancher, Treas., A. E. Marling,
Chairman and J. R. Mott, Gen’l Sec’y of The International Committee of
the Y. M. C. A., and under the wise supervision of Dr. J. E. Mooreland,
who is being ably assisted by H. K. Craft, W. C. Craver, R. P. Hamlin,
C. H. Tobias, J. B. Watson, Max Yergen and other efficient members
on that large staff. During the World War 350 Y. M. C. A. Colored
Secretaries, under the guidance of Dr. J. E. Moorland, R. B. DeFrantz,
W. J. Faulkner, J. F. Gregory and G. L. Johnson loyally served Colored
soldiers stationed in 55 camps, training schools and forts in America.
Among those who were the leaders in Y. M. C. A. and social work among
the Colored soldiers over-seas were J. E. Blanton, Mrs. Helen Curtis,
Miss Helen Hagan, Dr. John Hope, Mrs. Addie Hunton, Miss Katherine
Johnson, Dr. B. M. Murrell, Dr. H. H. Proctor, C. H. Williams and Max
Yergen.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN
NATIONAL COLORED CLUB WOMEN
“Lifting As We Climb”--Their motto in life
Is their battle cry in uplift strife
In leading their women to higher things
So better to rear their Race off-springs.
--_Harrison._
While they went about their self-imposed and greatly beneficial tasks
in somewhat crude ways that were executed under circumstances far more
trying and peculiar than these modern times; nevertheless, Harriet
Tubman and Sojourner Truth may be rightly called the first real welfare
and uplift national workers among American Colored women. And the
histories of the untiring efforts, speakings and lectures of those two
pioneers who fearlessly worked for the freedom of their Race sisters
and brothers should be learned by all Colored youths, especially girls.
