Mr.. Editor:

PITTsBuRe. Pa, April 2s, 1901
Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me space in the
columns OF your psper to announce to
the Negro some facts that the greater
part OF them are ignorant of. I want
to say that the truth of Gods word
through all ages past in the Prophetic
age as well as in the Early age.
The hero, j ssper is sleeping in his
grave and the truths with he began
TO utter 20 years prior to his death Was
considered by some men as folly and
ignorant ia their estimation, but God
was the author Of these words throug gh
Joshua in say ing: The sun stood stll
over Gideon and the moon over the
valley OF A Ajleon; and Solomon was A
man OF distinction aid he said the syn
rise in The East, goes dowa in the
West a-d hassens back where it came
from.
The hero, Jasper defined himself Co
Coos word and q d has made it plain.
The colored children have said that
Geography was correct in saying thae
the earth revolves on its axes, bat L
want TO show the children that their
minds have been b. fl ID and the aS-
tronomers also. Although Jaspar ss
dead, but he said that the day would
come when the astronomers would
sanction and coincide with him in say
ing the sun do move, and at length
God called Jasper from the e isld Of IA
bor to rest. God has left Us here to see
and read the publication of one of the
greatest astronomers and he said the.
sun do move and not only the sun
move, but the sun, moon and stars ara
still going Jme where at the rate OF
10000 miles per hour and where thev
started from and whittier they are
bound are questions which must be
lett for future scientists to solve and
reheArse this that the Negro children
may be no longer bafflsd who thought
and said that Jasper did not know.
but from this publication thew NAV
realize that the hero, Jasper was the
right and only right one because he
took God at His word and God hrou ght
him out conquer and more than con-
quer.
Just think of it, God told JASPER no
man should exceed him in his day and
he has put the philosophers to test and
caused the astronomers TO wonder and
ut last be forced to take up his pen
ana says the sun, moon and stars, all
meve. Jasper is in his grave, but We
are here to convey his ideas to az un-
born generation. ! love the dust OF
that hero's grave. Pray God mAY sen nd
Us another Jasper.
Yours in Christ,
