BUSINESS SERMON FOR BUSINESSMEN.
Rev. Robert L. Pope of Shorter church preached a strong sermon to the Negro business and professional men of this city Sunday night. He made some telling points in developing how Negroes are sometimes unprepared; try to "get by," practice the get-rich-quick system and how we fail to properly respect our business and professional men. If the West wants a big Negro, let the West develop and make him. Let us get together and begin with the little babes to inculcate these ideas into their brain. The youth and old people are too old; begin with the babies now, said the Reverend. Many of the congregation warmly shook his hand.
