a NEW BOOK AND ITS MOTIVE
HPointInu the Way" Discussed.

~PointIna the Way" Discussed.
Il was the unanimous opinion OF
all who read The Hindered Hand"
that the author, Sutton E. Griggs,
had drawn a most powerful in
dictment against the system Of Ne
gro repression In the South, show
ing most clearly the terrible plight
of the Negro when shorn of his
citizenship rights. But the book
left one with some such thought as
this coursing through his mind:
Here is a vivid picture Of a dreaded
disease But where, oh where Is
the remedy"
In answer to this eager question
ing of the mind, there now comes
from the pen Of this same author.
book entitled, Pointing The Way"
In this new book, Mr.. Griggs
sticks to his text which, though
handled in various ways, has ever
been the absolute necessity CT &C
cording TO the Negro equality OF
rights in point Of citizenship.
Selecting Illuminating incidents
that have come to his knowledge. Mr..
Griggs has grouped them into a
closely woven story that is dramatic,
humorous, pathetic, forceful, and cal
cuIated to convince the most oOtuse
mind that life IN America for the Ne
gro is q hollow mockery, nay, wrose
an unending human tragedy, unless
the Negro is placed upon a solid po-
litical foundation.
Mr.. Griggs chose as the dominating
characters Of his book able represen-
tatives Of both races, who eventually
find a common ground on which to
stand to work for the betterment Of
conditions. While there is not the
slightest suggestion Of the surrender
of any right Of the Negro race. the
points are so brought out in the book
that no man Of any race or section (
can Justly find fault with the manner
of their presentation. Pointing The
Wy" fills a long felt need, being an
artistic, logical presentation Of a
great truth IN such palatable form
that all groups of American people
North and South, white and ColOred
can with perfect composure sit down
and contemplate Americas greatest
problem.
That this effort on the part Of Mr..
Griggs may bear perfect fruit it is
now but necessary for the book to
be generally read by the white and
Colored people that they may I'M
derstand each others position and
begin the harmonious working out Of
the great race question. 1t is to be
hoped that the Negro race is sufici-
entity awake to seize and use this
great weapon of moral suasion.
Pointing the Way that has been
forged in the brain of a man whom
the ablest Of men call one OF the
most profound thinkers of his times.
Through the general circulation
of this book the Colored people now
have it within their power to pave ]
the way for the solving Of the race
question.
The book contains 233 pages, is
beautifully bound in cloth, lettered
in gold and has a particularly beau
tiful cover design. II is published

Those who are really loyal 10 the

clared and privately written that "no
