THE RACE PROBLEM
A New Light to Cast its Refulgent
Rays on the Vexed Question.
An Afro. American Says he VIII Answer
the Prayers That Assembled to Hea-
ven on the National Day OF Fast
Ing and Prayer.

therefore taught the people differently
and the reason of that was he was sup
ernatural being that is to say, while he
had human body he la divine mind
which is the soul Of man, divine mind
or divine soul just which ever YOU
choose to call it but either OF both mean
the same thing, for a nuns mind is bis
soul. l will explain this thing more
fully at another time more convenient.
So now we have before US the natural
man and the supernatural man, the
natural man seeks to obtain or gain his
point by force, while the supernatural
man pursues persuasive course, using
all peaceful methods, when we say that
Jeasus WAS both God and man we mean
that his body was man while his mind
was God, human and divine combined
The natural man manifests 4 disposition
to use force, for he is ever ready to 60 TO
law to compel his opponent to come to
terms, he will use bombs, dynamite, fire
poison, and host of other things to
compel his opponent to come to an
agreement, and often when these things
fail he will declare war but with the sup
ernatura! man it is quite different for he
follows after the spirit, which is right
eousness mot by power, neither by
might, but by my spirit saith the Lord"
Now said that God answered the
National Prayer when he sent Jesus the
Christ into the world. The Christ was
Gods answer, to all enquiries, but Gods
answer which was Jesus had to act as
Interpreter and make known the Lords
will to man. Now let us see what the
Interpreter SAYS about troubles such as
YOU prayed to God about on the 3lst day
of May last. Listen "When they per-
secute you in one city, community stay
and fight it OUT Is not that what he
told you to do? Oh, no you say that
don'c sound right Well will try it over
again. When they persecute you in one
city Community flee we into another.
Now how does that strike you? Oh, you
saw, that sounds more like it. Then
why don't you do il? Where is the wis.
dom in complaining about matter, and
praying to God to do something when
you have already been told what to do?
God has done his duty when it comes to
answering prayer. Now why don't you
do yours? He that heAreth these say
ings of mine, and doeth them is like unto
man which butt his house upon rock
etc. But on the other hand. He that
heareth these sayings of mine and dOeth
them not is like unto man which bnilt
his house upon the sand. Which
house was destroyed when the food
came because it had no foundation, a
(tloods of ungodly men) and you are be.
ing destroyed by them day after day,
and don't seem to know the Cause of it.
Until you learn to make use of the grace
that has already been given, You need
not expect to be delivered from your
enemies Next week l will give you the
outlines of a place for practical solution
of the Race Problem and, venture to
say that if you will come together as one
man and carry it out as suggest you will
forever settle the difficulty existing be-
tween the races. I am for settling the
race trouble as am for breaking up the
solid South. Neither will ever be &C.
complished by fighting, you will never
settle the race trouble by ,esorting to
arms, you will never settle it by using
dynamite as some have limited at, and
you will never settle it in the Courts Of
Justice by law for You might exhaust the
United States treasury and you would be
worse off in the end than you are now
for all the while you would be increasing
race hatred, and only consider that it is
that hatred and prejudice that you are
trying to kill out.
Your little bosh called citizenship. is
helplessly drifting with the tide of public
opinion while the winds are blowing in
eyery direction and 80 furiously that it
looks as though your boat would 90 to
pieces, but fear not be of good cheer, for
the pilot is at the wheel, and if every
man will stand at his post and do is dury
we will land on the evergreen shore.
When l said winds mean winds of
doctrine, Republicanism, Democracy
The Peoples Party movement. The
Prohibitionsts and all others. You
seemingly have forgotten the words of
warning, which says, be not We carried
about with or by every wind Of doctrine.
Those words are applicable to both
church and state. If man is sick and
calls in a physician and if he has any
faith in him he usually takes the medi-
cine the physician prescribes, and so it
should b. with a race that is afflicted
when it v.I.s on the great physician to
do something to stop the pain, that race
it seems should be willing to follow the
instructions even "When they persecute
you in one city or community flee ye
into another" But before the fleeing
takes place there is something else OF
great importance to be attended to. and
I will tell you all about it next week, as
I purpose to write series of articles on
the Race Problem, and other things
pertaining to the future welfare of the
Negro Race. and before wind up you
will have first place among the Nations
of the earth, but of course you are going
to have your doubts about that, just be-
cause you don't see how it is going to be
