in inviting others to come and compete

rior to those of our own color that they
must be brought in to receive the bread
of which there is scarce enough for

We do not appeal to philanthrepists:
they are ine&orable. Like all idola-

abjeOtly will they worship him. The
African never loves his God so fer
vently as when he has been freshly be-
daubed with offal. Our philanthropic
fellow citizens are in the midst of q
paroxysm of African ferver. But to
others we would say: 1t is mott meet
to take the children's bread and give
it to-strangers. Remember the wild

houseless among our own people, and
let Mr.. Levi Coffin and his associates
