one whose name is on thelist, send a
| free-will Offering 70 the Convention
in money, If il is not more than ten
cents each. Then let the delegates
bring the whole list with them TO the
| Convention, and we viii enroll all
their names in book, and we will en-
power that delegate and that list of
persons brought by it. and they shall
have control OF the H. 4 A. system in
the city or town where they live. and
we will all be one general body, acting
for the general welfare of the race al
large in unity.
Now. suppose the expenses are toe
great for che amount of people who
want TO send certain delegate TO the
| Convention Well. 1 win show you
how TO manage that. Dear reader.
| il the expenses are too great on &C.
count of the distance, just let the one
who is a delegate, write q list Of all
the persons wishing Co take the move
ment, then call them together. Let
a recommendation be written for the
delegate. to the Convention, then
make up free will Offering, if no
more than one dollar. Send the
recommendation and the list of names
and gift III money, and the photo
graph of the one who wanted to meet
the Convention, and we will arrange
said delegate in the system, Just by
seeing his photograph, with the list OF
persons sent. And they shall be en-
powered to work the system in their
city or town ijust the same as if they
had come to Convention in person.
This throws open wide gate sufEi-
cient for all men ana women both to
come in and live at once. And it is
q.
men and the right women who Join the
III. I. A. Combine.
Now. the chief object of this cOnven-
ton is to select and endower more
arch rulers for the government of the
Ii. L. A. We cannot place over al
arch rulers in the National Board
called the Congress of the II. 7. A.
System, and we viii not allow more
than 3 of them to be pastors Of church
es, and hold office (Of being an arch
ruler) in the H. T. A. system We
will not allow more than one third Of
them to be an ofiice-hOlder in any Sc
cret society, and at the same time be
an arch ruler in the IL. L. a. system,
and we will not allow any man or wo-
man % be an arch ruler of the II 7.
A. system who does not profess to be a
true christian and we viii not allow
HAL VI NOAAAii W 4CAntflk III HkCu
ruler of the II. L. A. system who
will not do whatsoever is right Now.
you understand we will not allow any
man or ruler to be an arch ruler of the
IL I. A. system unless they Will agree
to work for God and for righteousness
instead of working all together for
their own personal gain; and we can
use over 100000 assistant arch rulers
in the system, which constitutes the
Arch Combine. But not more than
AL arch rulers shall be formed in the
National Board of the Arch Combine
Now, understand that we Will not al
low more than one-third of them to
be of the same denomination.
The II. T. A. has been Incorporated
ever since October 2Ist, 1891. You
may know by this that it is reality.
We are already living, and as soon
as we get the full amount of arch rul-
ers set in the system, we are going to
lead the race out of poverty. and we
will not take them TO Africa either.
We are going to live forever where
ever God lives, and we are surely GO
ing TO lead the race. And we give all
of our wise Negroes this truth, that
we have the only system and plans
that there was left in Heaven, by
which the American Negroes could
ever be a perpetual success on the
American continent. If you brothers
do not believe what we tell you, YOU
may apply TO the Almighty for al suf-
| ticient remedy for the Negroes COM
plant, and if he answers you, He will
inform you that we have gotten the
last remedy which was left. And /
tell you, one and all, that you might
think for fifty years, and you could
not think of any way TO equal the plan
we have got 1t was given Co us from
God, through his son, and we will teach
you wisdom If you love wisdom: but
must help to pay the expenses of
printing, so you can understand it.
/ ask you question, dear reader
an any man learn the alphabet with
out some one teaches him j say
no-There nev.r was a man wise
enough to learn the alphabet without
a teacher.
| Well, do you suppose any man could
| learn how tc save race or a nation.
or could ~ man learn how to outwit all
men and the devil, without somebody
teaching him, or except God would
teach him say nay and this is the
way we have gotten hold of the II
7. A. system. What do you say about
lit?
If you try to prove us to be liars, we
Will prove you to be one who has ar
/ evil eye, and who is also liar. We are
fright, and we viii prove it by both the
Father and Son. You solicit your wit
hesses to prove we are wrong, and we
will proceed, as Elijah did, to have q
trial before all the people.
My people, you need not send meT
or women to this Convention who viii
not agree to do right. We will mo-
have them; neither should you send
any who think more of their own de-
nomination that they do of God OF
Christ Jesus.
| We do not want such idiots; we
want men and women who viii dt
Whatsoever is right, regardless of wha-
it may cost them TO do so, and then we
will produce the right, and defy sue
lcessful contradiction from either mer
or angels, high or low, from the throne
Of God even down to the very gates o.

be not right, we Will gladly get behind
and let the right party lead. Is no
