the Philippines was matter of divine
direction If ne felt an impulse to go

God Put if he felt inchned to reach
into another mans pocket and rob him,
he would not charge that against the
Almighty. The Republican Philippine
policy. he said reminded him OF colored
gentleman about whom he had heard.
This negro said he had found that II he
prayed to God to send him chicken,
He rarely ever responded, but IL ne
prayed to God to send him to chicken,
he most always got it.
