We must carry on business Of every
kind and that too on a large scale and
not confine ourselves to a few kinds OF
work and professions. We must learn
the great lesson that we should provide
for our children as well as love them, in
order that they may enjoy the advan-
tages afforded the youth of other races.
We must teach them by example az
well as precept. Asa peopl. We must
become more provident and careful in
our. expenditures. We are to easily
satisfied and contented and on &C.
count of this fact, many of our faculties
are allowed to remain dormant. To be-
come dissatisfied with ones condition is
necessary state for extension and &C.
ton. Great desires and longings to rise
must fill the soul of anyone who would
become truly great and benefactor OF
mankind. We must accumulate wealth
and become independent. no poverty
stricken dependent race can ever lead
the vanguard of civilization. Wealth
education, industry, intelligence, skill
morality and religion will solve any
problem and right many wrongs de.
stroy prejudice establish brotherlv love
and command respect. Our aims must
be high, better to have high standard
and fall short of it, than to have a low
one and attain it. We must not permit
the remembrance of past things tc
weigh too heavily upon US, but. forget
ting our burdens if possible let us SCI
our faces as flint towards the attain
ment of the exalted station which W.
are destined, in the providence of Coo
to raach. We must learn to have conf
dence in ourselves and in each other, tt
assist each other in all practical wav,
and chief of all we must be united il
our efforts. The Individual is easil,
overcome. A large number of individ
uals closely bound together. united il
thought, action and desire is invincible

the drops of water of which IT. ia com
posed. Were we united az we shoult
be our influence and power would be Al
broad and far reaching as the ocean
We must be unit in all that ia good
just, honest, upright and true. Another
important lesson for us to learn is tina
we must be ourselves, we must be origi
nal. We are quite initiative enough
nature has largely endowed us in thi,
line. / rejoice in it, but I would tina
lit were onesided imitativeness
that is. that we initiated virtne,
and eschewed vices We shoulc
not be afraid to allow orr native origin
atty to manifest itself in all nroner chan
neIs. We have faults many and grew
GUS, all races have. We have virtues il
common with other races. Let us eve1
strive that our virtues oyerbalance on,
vices. We must have proper race
pride and we must cultivate it. Let nc
man deplore the fact that he belongs t
Ia downtroden people. Mans strength
consists not alone in his never falling
but in his power to rise when he
has fallen. Let us rejoice that We
