was so accentuated by the unfortu-
nate incident, will be given a lasting
quietus. This inquiry viii be n last

More than this, the report will

Further investigation. however.
has shown that IL extends from the
more advanced Negroes of the bor-
der states 90 the field hands on the
plantations OF the South and the
farms of the Central West.
The Brownsville incident and the
terrible punishment meted out con-
sututed the first blot upon the re-
cord IL has been insisted by the
Negroes, Senator Foraker being their
spokesman, that such punishment
should not be visited without posi-
tive proof of guilt This is the view
the Senate Committee viii take.
The approval by President Rooso-
Welt OF such a decision by the Sen
ate Committee will be accepted the
country over as "a renewed adherence
TO his doctrine OF the square deal. q"

so many are doing we'll This IS
Gods way. III they are doing well,
let them continue TO do well. The
Lord would not have us go away as
so many beggars, not at all. He did
not bring away his chosen people
from Egypt as such. They were
we'll provided for. The doing of
Gods will is not always agreeable
TO us, but we should seek TO find out
what is His will and do il neverthe-
less.
l think I hear some one say, How
do you know what is Gods will in
this matter, who made you a pro-
phet? I am no prophet nor the son
of a prophet. I do not even pretend
10 know what is Gods will in this
matter. But I call upon every think
ing man. every leading man of the
Negro race in America TO seek 20
find out what is the Lords will as TO
our destiny in this world.
do not believe that 1t is the will
of God that ten millions of people
whom He has caused to be civilized
Christianized and educated, should
be lost in a country and amongst a
people who do not want them nor
need them. while their own country
which He has given them and their
own people and kinsmen are perish
ing for lack of the services which
they can render.
Go on, do we'll in America. Get
wealth, build houses, palaces, halls,
churches; acquire land; get religion,
become educated and moral. Do ali
of these for yourselves in America,
it will the better qualify you to build
empires and redeem millions of souls

There has been no doubt since the

has been stirred to a resentment that
it has az no time felt since emanci-
patton. There are TntimatiOns that
