Outraged or cast down. For every /
white man of this type against US,
God is raising up numbers OF others
in our favor. This slanderous play
is but the beginning Of the end. 1t

intended. just In proportion as it
.arouses some white people against us
il viii awaken sympathy in others,
who win not be slow to speak in our
favor. Let us have patience, be poI
lite and obliging and continue to
make friends with the white people
amongst whom we live. This should
not Zoe done, however, at the expense
Of our manhood. but il should be ac-
companied with that old-time Ches-
terfeldan dignity that we were
taught by the old slaye-owners of
other days.
Colored men, we can win out this
way and it viii take the combined
efforts of ten thousand Dixons and
million of followers to even shake
our hold upon the goodwill Of the
better class of southerners of this
sunny soil
The sunlight of material progress

sp'endor upon MS and it viii at once
be realized that we have come
through hard trials and great tribu-
lation, trusting God and leaning up
on His everlasting arm. Out of the
Good Book, we read the divine an

fenced our lips. which for the mo

lures:
Though I speak with the tongues
of men and angels. aud have not
charity, I become as sounding brass,

And though I have the gift of

provoked. thinketh no evil;

But when that which is perfect IS

And now abideth faith, hope, char

SO readeth the thirteenth chapter
OF the first episte Of Paul TO the
Corinthians. IL reads like a special
message 60 Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr.
Well says Mrs. Heard:
eve are rising. rising, rising,
And our progress is surprising,
With our brawny muscles earning
daily bread.
Though our wages be a pittance,
Still. each week a small remittance
Builds a shelter for the weary,
toiling head.
| We are coming, coming boldly.
Though the nation greets us coldly.
We are coming from the hillside
and the plain.
With our scars, we tell the story
/ OF the cane-braze wet and CORY.
Where our brothers bones lie
bleaching with the slain.
We are coming; we are coming.
Listeni You can hear the humming
OF the thousands, who are falling
into line.
We have lawyers, doctors, preach
ers.
We have poets, sculptors, teachers,
Men and women, who with honor
yet shall shine.
We are coming, coming singing.
Our Thanksgiving hymn is ringing,
For the night is slowly breaking
now away.
And there comes a brighter dawn
ing;
P il is liberty's fair morning.
We are coming, surely coming,
clear the way.
Yes, we come, our stepping's steady,
And our power is felt already.
God has heard the lowly cry Of the
/ oppressed
And beneath His mighty frowns
Every wrong shall crumbie down,
And the right shall triumph and
the world be blessed"
