nervous wrecks in after life, the
break down in old age.
1t is criminal to devote that
power of mans life to tie produc-
ton of evil, or waste them in the
study and formation of plans to
the aggrandizement of self and
selfish ends. Life is too short to
rush, the responsibilities too great,
the hope of the future too bright
to waste our precious opportunities
of power to meet in after life these
responsibilities with tagged out
energy. We pass through this
life but once. If there is any de-
sire to accomplish anything to the
betterment of our fellowman let us
do it now, not defer or neglect
not waste and fritter that energy
away, but do it while we can, for
we pass this way but once.
Then, it is the duty, the God
imposed duty of man, to conse-
crate and dedicate his power and
energy to the building of vigor-
Gus, spiritual manhood with the
enlargement of the soul, the
keenness of sympathy as our years
enfold and our nature natures.
Preserve and fortify that energy
given by loving Father for the
beauty of a good old age that our
lives may serve as an inspiration"
as a preservation of youth, its
vigor and energy and thus our old
age may not be SO embittered
with thought of repentance for
youthful follies, SO soured by dis
ease that those who know us wish
the good Lord would take us to
His keeping.-Maurice G. Walker

Science, teaches us that man is
endowed with given amount OF
energy; that this energy is divided
into certain kinds, kinetic, poten-
tial and others. To this class may

gy and misdirected energy. We
know that though God is the di-
vine cause of all things, nothing
happens contrary to His will or
purpose. We are confident OF the

fate and to him is given the use
and direction of that energy. That

TAFT AT TUSKEGEE.

Tuskegee, Ala, April BIN an
address to the students of the in
stitute here to-day Secretary of
State Taft said:
at now is the habit of many
contemplating the condition of the
two races in the Southern states
to shake their heads and say that
the Negro problem is far from
solved, and that the future in this
respect is dark. Plans have been
suggested of a. migration of the
Negro race to some other country
where they would live by them
selves and grow up by themselves
and have a society by themselves
and create a nation by themselves.
Such a suggestion is most chimer-
ical The Negro has no desire to
90 and the men of the South would
seriously object to his going 1t
makes no difference how the Ne
gro came here; it makes no differ
ence how impossible and objection
able the amalgamation of the two
races may be; it makes no differ
ence how impossible it may be for
them to come together socially; the
Negroes are here in this country,
as part of our people and are
bound to continue to be a part of
our people. They are entitled to
the unceasing effort of our whole
people in their strugge for better
things both because it is our duty
and our interest "
Mr. Taft said the Negro had
made great progress since the civil
war and continued:
'The white men who can do the
most good for the Negro; who can
aid him IN his tollSome march to
better material and intellectual
conditions, are the Southern white
men who are his neighbors. 1t is
one of the encouraging signs of
the time that there is growing up
in the South a body of leading
white men who feel that the future
of the Negro race affects the future
of the South and that both self in
terest and humanity require them
to lead all the aid they can to this
people in the throes of burden.

sipation that kills, that ends in
bell. We may as well acknowl-
edge it to ourselves as such, the
sooner the better, for sins that
men have a right to know sting
and do harm as long as they are
hid, and not until acknowledged
will they cease to gnaw our very
vitals. Unless they are admitted
is there any hope of change?
Then, again, there is that all too
prevalent means of wasting energy
by idly loafing, supporting the
lamp posts and corners of stores,
frequently those of Negro enter
prise, with our bodies. Have
yonr daughters, young, virtuous
girls, not said to you, 81 wouldn't
mind going to Mr.. Jones store to
trade, but there is such a gang of
boys hanging around that I hate
to pass them" These young men
consider themselves very wise, but
what do they accomplish? What
are they but public nuisance, not
only harming themselves, wasting
their own energy, but missing the
opportunities D. hers.
There is no use to mince words;
this is too important a subject, too
grave a question. This loss of
energy is most too common and
must cease or produce weaker men.
1t will undermine the strongest
constitution. Young men may as
well realize now the fact that his
vitality can be used but once, his
energy squanGered but once. The
force and strength consumed in
the frivolities and vices of youth
can never be regafned regardless
of how essential it may be to cur
success in middle life. Just that
time and energy wasted in youth
in carousiug, irregular sleep or dis
sipation in any form is so much
horsepower, the working force
taken out of the sum and total of
any life, man or woman.
Try as you may, it is as utterly
impossible to safely crowd the du-
ties and pleasures of sixty years
into ten as it is to walk across the
Pacific ocean. The age of fable
has passed, the miracles has had
it's sway; this is a common, every
day, practical age. No one man
can do the work of two men and
maintain the high condition of
physical and mental health. Do
you doubt this? Look at the
rank and file of your churchmen,
your scholars and professors, see
the prematurely gray hair, the
continual frown, the lines and fur
rows of care and responsibility
upon the face of those who should
look otherwise in the prime of life.
