handsome sum to the General fund
and Three or Four Thousand Dollars

former, and we could be TO the Negro
race of this country what the Irish
World" is to the Irish. We could make

States.
RELIGION AS A CLOAK FOR Evil.
Now, Brethren and Sisters bestir
yourselves remember your motto.
think for yourselves, act for your
selves, think in the interest of YOUR
selves, act in the interest of yourselves
speak in the interest of yourselves and
work in the interest OF yourselves
Remember your motto again, "In be-
half of our Institution. that we have
the cheapest institution, the best in
stitution and the most beneficial Insti-
tuition" Remember, our notices of
Union, and put them into operation
Love, the chain that binds us together.
Truth, the torcA-bearer that shows us
the way Truth to live by, Truth to die
by, and Truth to light as through the
dark valley and shadow of death: Mer-
cy TO hold the umbrella, Mercy the
shield of faith, Mercy the angel of con-
ISOLATION, Mercy the swift winged Mes
senger OF God. Mercy the bright-wing-
ed-shining angel that stands before
the throne of God: Wisdom that was
with God in the beginning, Wisdom
that pilots the wave, Wisdom that
keeps the channel of life, v isdom the
angel by which Judges rule and prin-
ces decree justice" Wisdom the pilot
and director of Truth, Wisdom the di-
rector of Mercy, Wisdom the director
of Finance, Wisdom the director and
pilot of the brain, Wisdom the gov
synor of the world, Wisdom the swift
winged angel that sits at the feet of
jehovah" {"
THE DEVIL QUOTED SCRIPTURE.
If any man lacketh wisdom, let him
ask of God, who giveth TO all men lib
orally and upbraided not Wisdom
the finder of witty inventions, Wisdom
that directs knowledge to hunt these
inventions. Remember our notices
and put them into operation. They
are the guards to the gateway of the
True Reformers With these in opar-
alton, we have nothing to fear. Re-
member, be swift, be Industrious, be
up and doing. The Bible says go to
the ant thou sluggard consider her
ways and be wise, who has neither
guide nor overseer, but provides her
meat in harvest for winter" Then
take the example of the ant for indus
try wrench from the fox his cunning
to guide your industry; take from the
lion his strength to protect your indus
try take from the eagle his foresight
to give eyes to the ant, the fox, and the
lion.
ANOTHER WORKOUT ILLUSTRATION.
The eagle when he sees a storm ris-
ing, and he hears the muttering thun-
der, he sees the earth commence to
darken and the zig-Zag lightning fash
ing and playing in the skies above his
head, he mounts the top of the highest
tree, strips from his body the loose
feathers, plumes his wing, mounts his
pinions with his eyes on the sun, ne
scars above the clouds and rests upon
his wings far beyond the storm until
the storm is over and comes back when
the clouds, the lightning and thunder
disappear, lights upon the top of the
tree from which he ascended the skies
and gives shout of joy and suprema-
cy, showing that he has weathered the
storm and has returned again to his
home. Like the eagle mount on pin
ions of your Imagination. soar away tc
| your God in prayer. in song and in de-
votion. AS the eagle asks his wings tC
help him, ask your God to help you.

Take the swiftness of the grey
hound for the legs of your industry
and with the swiftness of the grey
hound, let your industry act ac
wisely, act discreetly, and when tn,
meetings are held and the results coun

ly and concentrate the forces of tn,
True Reformers shall return to head
quarters, and we shall hear the cry o
