A SERMON FOR THE NEW YEAR

EDITOR OF THE COLORED AMERICAN
To my Friends and Fellow Citizens
of the United States of America, and
into who's hands this paper may come,
let me inform you that God has
spared us all the many years to live
and every year we live, we live for
purpose, and during the many years
of cur earthly dwelling we are called
upon to witness New Problems, Propo-
sitions and Manifold Innovations, but
l wish TO tell you as I have told many
before, that the Colored People of
America are witnessing the most dire
and appalling trials that any race or
nation, calling themselves civilized,
ever witnessed since Christ declared
Himself the Savior Of men.
1t was thought in the days of slav-
cry that in reviewing the circumstan-
ces which existed in those days it was
considered inhuman and irreligious.
but when We pull back the curtains of
time and take peep down in the
Southland, we see that our Colored
Brother, for the slightest fault and
SOA1CIlllSS IOI HOISulDl0S the true
God, are taken from their hemes and
children and burned alive; swung up
by the neck; shot down like birds Of
the air, and all sorts of turpitude, and
the half has never been told. Ny
friends l only want to tell you that it
is time for Divine action and that God
will hold us responsible in the last
day If we fail TO open our mouths and
ask deliverance for those downtrod-
den people. My reason for these re
marks is the lynching of Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver Wideman, in South Carolina,
and ask and pray that every one of
us at the beginning of the New Year
viii open prayers and take some steps
to rehabilitate our rights. And as a
race and nation, that the Colored Peo-
pie in the South, and everywhere that
Gods word prevails, and that in all
crimes, whatsoever, they be given
Fair Trial by Jury.
