THE RACE PROBLEM
A NEW LIGHT ON THE VExED
QUESTION:.
An Afr0-Amcrican Says he VIII Answer
the Prayers That Assembled to Heaven
on the National Day of Fasting and
Prnycr--Rend and Understand.
(CONTINUED.)


WhenI announced that would ans.
wer that National Prayer, many of you
no doubt thought l was some religious
crank, who had no doubt worried 60
much over the Race problem as to lose
my reason. Well such however 1 can
assure you is not the case. When a GER
tain young man announced that he
would give lecture on Africa, he also
said that he could place glass of water
IN one hand, and five of the strongest
men in the city could not keep him
from drinking the water, we'll I saw the
men try it, but the performer drank the
water with the greatest of ease, for
while the men were holding on to the
mans arm and were preparing for a
great struggle, the performer simply
took his other hand and lifted the glass
of water out Of the hand that the men
had hold of and drank it, very easy you
see when you know how. Not by
might, neither by power, but by my
spirit saith the Lord. And 30 it will be
in answering that prayer. I will not
perform any great miracle in answering
it for [ myself am the answer. If you
can receive it, am he that was to come
you do not believe it now but you will
by and by, for will certainly convince
you of that fact. In the foregoing article
did not enter into detail, but simply
gave you the outlines OF plan for a
practical solution of the Race Problem.
l have only written two articles on the
Race Problem, and it has taken just six
teen weeks to publish the latr one for it
was cut up into that many letters, 1 WAS
in hopes that the editor would give the
entire article to the public at once by
issuing a supplement to the regular pap
er, and by contributing an article every
week as was my intention, could have
been we'll on the way by this time in
arouslng the race to action in the solu-
lion OF the problem. In the article Just
finished I merely suggested that there
be an organization to be known as the
American Citizens Aid, but since my
article for publication another organiza-
ton has come into existence known as
the North Western Emigration Company
or Association, which if it lays the right
kind of foundation and has the proper
encouragement it will do the work that
has need to be done, to simply remove
great number of our people from the
South and find them places OF employ
ment in the North is not a sure founda-
ton, for in the end it will prove TO be
only swap of, to have sure founda
ton the race must raise money and pur-
chase land in the West and Northwest.
1 could tell you why the West and North
west is the proper place to buy the land
with which to make homes for our
people, but do not consider this the
proper time and place, but should 1 have
an opportunity to lay my plans before an
assembly of the deep thinking men Of
the race, you will see then that I am
right A man on yonders mountain has
alluded to me of being some crank, but
that is nothing in comparison to what l
have been called, for have even been
called the prince of devils, but time al
ways proves who and what man is, he
also called my writing crazy stuff, possib.
ly that was because there were so many
mistakes in the print, there were
number of mistakes but I will only
mention two or three, not that wish to
cast any reflection on the management
OF the paper for when 1 have explained
the nature of those mistakes it can be
seen how eaay such mistakes could &C.
cur, and any sane person will know that
they were not intentional.
