Mr. HBwIN's CRITICISM.
He Does Not Aerse with DR. Mitchell.

He said the Negroes OF this country
had much to thank God for, and as
they were on the eve of bidding fare
well to the nineteenth century, he re-
commended that special services be
held at the next annual session of the
convention.
The above is not so. If the Negro
owes thanks to anybody, he owes it to
liberators, statesmen, poets, scientists,
sculptors and political economists.
The Negro owes nothing to Col. A God
who counts the hairs on a mans head
watches every sparrow fall to the
earth. and can't save the Negro from
unjust ostracism and the curse of a
bloody "Lynch-law" is myth. The
history of mankind is my guide. II q
nation was made of adamant, ortho-
doxism would grind it into powder
The success of the Negro depends upor
his becoming socialistic, just as the
white man is.
A Negro with money in his pocket
coupled with reasonable amount o
common sense can do more TO defen'
the sanctity Of his wife and daughters
than all the sermons that have bee
preached since creation began.
