all municipal regulations to the contrary,
has equal rights with the white man.
Neither race nor complexion disables a

prior to the introduction of Christianity,
and is more in accordance with the teach

Gospel. We do protest against
such an opinion which places negroes as

public, but out of the pale of humanity.

The road to Heaven by Christ was made,
With heavenly truth the rails were laid
From earth to heaven the line extends
To life eternal, where it ends.
CHORUS.
We're going home, we're going home,
We're going home to die no more.
In first and second and third class,
Repentance, faith and holiness
You must the way t,' glory gain,
Or you with Christ will never reign.
Repentance is the station, then,
Where passengers are taken in;
No fee for them is there to pay,
For Jesus is himself the way.
The Bible is cur engineer.
II POINTS the way to heaven so clear;
Through tunnels dark and dreary here
1t does the way to glory steer.
Gods Love the fire-His Truth the steam,
Which drive the engine and the train;
All you who would to glory ride.
Here passage take-in Christ abide. -

At any station on the line. 4

The train will stop and take you in.

The road is safe, the passage fine,

The signal it will soon be given, t i
To start from earth and go to heaven.
