Speakers Stir Inter-Racial Audience
BISHOP CLEMENT AND DR. KLICK INTER-RACIAL MEETING SPEAKERS Arouse Audience In Plea For Real Christian Attitude And Better Race Relationship Noted churchmen aroused what was perhaps the largest interracial audience known to this community last Sunday afternoon. It was the Tenth Annual Race Relations Sunday, the first time in the history of the movement inaugurated by the Federal Council of Churches of America, that such a meeting has been held here. The preaching of race relations sermons by white and colored ministers of the city has been the usual way. The last Sunday meeting at the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church was opened with the devotions led by Dr. George Klingman and Rev. N. D. Shamborguer. Dr. E. R. Overly, pastor of Trinity, presided and welcomed the audience two-thirds of which was composed of white citizens. The speakers, Dr. A. E. Klick and Bishop George C. Clement, were introduced by Mr. E. S. Lotspeich of the Inter-racial Commission of Kentucky. Both Dr. Klick and Bishop Clement emphasized the fact that the religion of Jesus of Nazareth was the solvent for the race question and all other international problems. Dr. Klick, who is pastor of the Evangelical Church, said in his address, "That They All May Be One," that "Christianity is the religion of the individual, that the Christian attitude is to give every man a chance and an opportunity to develop himself and measure up to his highest possibilities." He said that minor misunderstandings and prejudices prevented different racial groups from recognizing intrinsic worth in each other. In his speech on "The Approach on Race Relations," Bishop Clement said, the question of race not only involved our own country but goes around the world. It is a vital question in India, China, Japan, South Africa and the Mexico border said he. Stating that he knew no higher authority than Jesus Christ, Bishop Clement said that a better understanding of each other from a Christian standpoint would  ultimately solve all racial problems. Said the bishop, "Ignorance motivates nearly everything that concerns race prejudice. When you come to know a man, a group of men or a race, you will have a different attitude. Let us know each other then we will respect each other--please." Father J. A. Johnson, rector of the Church of Our Merciful Saviour, chairman of the Race Relations program committee, admonished the audience to be evangelists to carry the news of what they had seen and heard during the meeting, thereby becoming instruments in molding better race relations in the community. Dean G. P. Bruner, of the Bouregard School of Music, gave organ selections and a vocal solo was rendered by Prof. Carl Barbour. The choir of Broadway TEmple A. M. E. Zion Church sang several numbers.

ASKS FAVOR; IS KILLED When he asked Edward Taylor, a white man from Warsaw, Ky., for a knife to cut a broken finger-nail, Clarence Cooper of 1532 Lloyd street was shot and killed last Monday night. Cooper and Taylor were sitting in a shanty boat anchored near Adams street. Witnesses say that the white man never made any reply when asked for the knife, but summarily pulled out his pistol and fired point bank at Cooper. It is claimed that Taylor was drinking. He was held for murder and without bond when arraigned in Police Court Tuesday morning. Cooper worked for John Crawford, a fisherman and owner of the boat.
HAMILTON CASE NOT CLOSED The case against Officer Henry Hamilton is not completely closed. Officer Hamilton was dismissed from the local Police Department because of conduct unbecoming an officer several weeks ago. Immediately after the dismissal of Hamilton, who was known as one of the best type of men connected with the department, a committee from the recently organized Citizens League, composed of Revs. J. M. Williams, G. F. Watson, Drs. W. T. Merchant, R. B. Scott, Messrs. W. H. Steward, G. W. Mason, W. C. Buford, T. H. Mason, I. Willis Cole investigated the case. Hamilton admitted his guilt to the committee, but because of circumstances connected with the case felt that he was due another chance. Members of the committee felt likewise, and Revs. Williams and Watson and Messrs. Mason and Cole were named as a committee to confer with Chief of Police Radcliffe, and Col. Roy W. Easley, Director of Safety. Chief Ratcliffe and Col. Easley both spoke in the highest terms of Of  ficer Hamilton and were sorry that he had gotten into the troube. They said, however, that Hamilton admitted that he was guilty of both the gambling and shooting and that there was nothing else for them to do but to dismiss him. They suggest that the matter be taken before the Civil Service Commission, and that is what the committee has arranged to do.
Bishop W. J. Walls was in the city Thursday.

Raymond A. Kent Vesper Speaker
TELLS AUDIENCE ABOUT CHARACTER BUILDING AND RIGHT LIVING Says Purpose Of College Is To Teach People How To Live And Think Dr. Raymond A. Kent, president of the University of Louisville, was the speaker at the first of a series of vesper services at the Louisville Municipal College last Sunday afternoon. Launching into an address which dealt mainly with character building and right living, Dr. Kent outlined the purpose of any college as being to teach people how to live and think, to live within as well as without the home, to work and to spend leisure time, the importance of civic duties and to lead them to create within themselves a wider view of life such as comes through sound religious and philosophical ideas. Dr. Kent emphasized the part that character building should play. "Too often," said he, "people have gone all the way throughs school including college but one would not believe so judging from their conduct." A proper balance, he said, must be struck between the right kind of living and thinking before one is properly educated, and added that education does not end with the study of few or many college courses but continues through life and is based on what the student contributes to his own advancement in college as well as what the institution ought to offer the student. The practice of reading good literature whether in college or out is valuable, said Dr. Kent. He spoke of an intimate friend whom he admired that had never been to college, not even to high school but was so well informed that he could discuss most any subject intelligently and was never lonesome because he knew how to entertain himself by reading properly. He said he wondered what the people would do with so much leisure time, in this machine age. Will they spend it idly or try to improve themselves by reading good literature and doing other worth while things or will they waste it by going too often to the movies and doing such things that will be of no benefit to them. Dr. Kent was introduced by Dean Rufus E. Clement. The college choir, directed by Miss Nancy Bullock and Prof. Daniel Lawson, rendered selections. Rev. C. W. Welch, pastor of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church, will speak at the services Sunday, February 21, on "The Way to Recovery."
