J. c.. Reid delivered a stirring ad-
dress last Sunday evening to a large
audience at Bethesda Baptist church.
He spoke of his trip to Washington,
D. c., and the part the eastern Afro
Americans are playing toward the
solution of the race problem. He
said in part: "The solution of the
race, both North and South, depended
entirely upon the, responsiveness of
the bulk of the Afro-Americans: Of
course they are quartered in eastern
and southern states, and a step back
ward in the South means the same
thing in the North. The Washington
Afro-Americans7 seem to place great
stress upon Christian principles as the
only bright star Inevitable to the soIu-
tion of our cause. They are right,
if the Afro-American deserts his guide,
namely, the maker of men, he will
have no future to look forward to.
Get Alright first with the creator of
motives and there we will be strong,
to fight our battles and we will win.
I am extremely optimistic regarding
the future of our race. I believe that
| the race will ere long override lynch
| ings, burnings, and even shooting our
women, and stand victorious. If we
be true and manly to our inward i'm
pulse we cannot know. defeat::'
