might D6 n'lsted up to de top of de pole fur
a week or so, but den would come dc drop
an de jar.
1T Will be we'll fur yo' to let it be
known dat yO' respect truth an honesty,
but dOan' be disappointed if dey doan' git
out de brass band to welcome yO'. Even if
dey believed yO', it would be no novelty,
an yo' mustn't feel hurt if dcy refuse to
take yo'r word widOut proofs behind it
or want cash down fur bacon. We hev a
heap of honest, truthful men in dis ken
try, but l can't see dat dey hev any extra
luck in gettin de front seats ober de odder
class. Be honest, but not too honest. Be
truthful, but also be noncommittal. It's
a heap safer to equivocate dan to gin a
man yo'r honest Opinyun on de aige OF his
boss or de wOrthlcSSncSS of his dawg.
"While yO'r pOsishun as a brickyardist
at $50 a Month am a good thing an shows
de trust an confidence rcposed in yo', loan
be puffed up an emagine dat dis United
States would go to grass if yo' happened
to be laid VI fur a day or two. While yo'
will hav q standin to maintain, do it wild
out being offensive.
Il ar KNOWN to de fact dat yo' am a
member Of dc Baptist church. Oar will
probably be a Baptist church III de town yo'
am gwine to, but doan' go rushin round

slow an look obcr de ground. If dc Bap-
tlst people hCv got a great big church, wild
a high stccplc Al a big bell an a furnace
in de basement, go an introduce yo'self an
jine in wild de people. If, on de contrary,
dat Baptist church am only a one boss
buildin heated by one stove, an no stecple,
bell, or cushions in de pews, take a walk
around an look in OF dc Methodist. All
religions lead to heaben, but dar am SIGH
a thing as bein in dc swim in church mat
tiers.
"Dey tell me yo' am likely to git mar
ried out dar. On dat subjick no man kin
wisely advise yo'. When yo' am co'tin a
gal, she does her best to look purity an
control her temper, an yO' hev simply got
to a yO'r chances. On de Odder hand,
yO' will also strive to hide yo'r shortcom-
ms, an she will likewise be takin chances.
Yo' probably won't come out any better
nor any wuss a de rest of us, an SO yo'
needn't hesitate to go ahead.
Let relig'u5 discussion alone, Bruddcr
Johnson. Yo' won't be out dar a week
befo' some man will stand up an declar'
his belief dat Noah's ark was painted blue.
He'll spect yo' to contend dat de color was
green, but doan' yO' say a word. Eben if
yo' broke dat mans neck yO' couldn't
prove he was wrong an y0' was right. Let
pOllytics alone. Eben if yo' got an offs de
assessments fur de next campaign would
take all de salary. De white man is hcvcn
a heap mo- dan he kin do to keep track of
politics, an de culled man who mikes in
hain't gwinc TO take any comfort
Lastly, let me warn yO' not to adopt
any motto as yO'r guidin star, an doan'
sw'ar off on any p%erticklcr vices yo' may
hev imbibed. A man wild a motto never
pays back borrowed money as anybody
eber heard tell Of, an de man who swears
off on one vice is ginerally gittin hisself
ready to Encourage two wusser ones. Jist
be so so-'bout half an half. While de
too bad man am to be Stunned de too
good mar am classed as either a hypocrite
q fuln"
