NEGRO CHIT1ALR 7,
What Souuherm Wipe Uomom
Has to San.

The following extract from a most
interesting article taken from the New
York Sun of last Sunday. by a southern
white woman Is in line with what was
recently said by US in these columns
First, the Christian heart is in the
South and secondly, contact between
the best citizens, white and colored
will greatly minimize race friction.
"A Southern woman whose family is
the one white family on cotton plan
tation in lower South0 Carolina, a tract
embracing 5000 acres and pcopled
with colored tenants numbering 35
families in all, maintains chat the Ne
gro is as chivalrous and kindly by ma
ture as the white man, and that the
assumption that his presence is a men
ace to the white women of the South is
most unfair In speaking of recent
disturbances in the South and the COM
ments and statements which they have
provoked, she said

has as much chivalry and court
mind for the native Southern
or for any white woman as

do her service on the slightest

II have read of lynchings and
need for them. but in each cast
the feeling that there was anotE
deriving cause, some harsh, brow u
ing treatment of the Negro that culm-
mated even if indirectly, in form OF
outrage. doubt seriously if a true
born Southern lady, one whom the Ne
groes respected as such, was ever sub
iected to rude treatment by Negro
tenant or employee. And the unfort-
innate woman victim of lynching events
will in nearly every case, be found to
be associated with the common, under
bred, Ncgro-hating order of white men
in the Southern white population,
people whose fathers never owned
much of anything, mentally or mater
ially and who are jealous of the Ne

What Christmas Means.

It means. peace and good will toward
man.
1t means, that every broken heart.
will one day be bound up and healed.
1t means: the birthday, of the one
who was sent toreveal the Fathers love
to us.
1t means, that Christ. was born to
tell us of an everlasting Father and of
his everlasting love.
1t means, that the righteous, shall
90 free, and that everlasting JOY shall
be their portion.
1t means that the poorest. the most
forlorn. the most forsaken and outcast,
can have eternal love, eternal life,
eternal joy.
1t means, that God so love the world
that he gave his only son. that whose
ever beleiveth in him should not per-
ish but have everlasting life.
TO the worshiper, the birth of Christ
means. the birth of worship.
This is knowing Christmas in its high
est and noblest sense, in its trucst con-
ception. knowing it in that spirit from
which we derive the surest happiness.
No one who will thus accept Christ
mas will experience other than the
deepest thrills of pleasure on that day.
1t will be the genuine love for man
kind. which will make Christmas the
llappicst day of the year. the day when
harsh or cruel words will be out OF
placc with such day and it's good
deeds before US it will make all mon
our brothers, and if this has not been
our Christmas in the past, let us try at
least to make it such Christmas this
year. not by worshiping Christ less
but by loving one another more and we
should try and make the Christmas OF
1898 such a Christmas. This is what
we mean chen we say to every one.
rich or poor, sick or we'll I'VE wish
you all a merry Christmas.
