e. CHURCH, NOV. 80.
The st. Paul Appeal.
And thank God that the race Is
finding it's voice, for the development
of race consciousness.
For the idealism and scholarship
of Dubois, for the realism and prac-
ticability of Booker Washington, for
"The Crisis" and "The Age" and the
Free man and The Planet the Pal
ladium and the Guardian the Chron-
icle and the Idea and our own Ap-
peal, for the editors and teachers and
lawyers and doctors, and divines, for
it's associations, religions, charitable,
reformatory and preventive; for It's
business companies and corporations,
declarations and alliances. / am thank
full for an increasing output OF Negro
literature, for "The Marrow of Tradl-
ton" and "The House Behind the
Cedars": for "The Soul of Black
Folks" and "The Quest of the Silver
Fleece" for up from Slavery" and
"The Story of My Life;" for the songs
of Dunbar and Braithwaite and Ka-
therine Tillman; Of James Edwin
Campbell, William H. A. Moore; for
the essays of Kelley Miller. / am
thankful for the growth of the art Of
illustration, for the Hampton Art
Club and it's illustrations Of Dunbar's
poems; for the Douglas Calendar Co,
and it's beautiful calendars; for the
illustrations and cartoons in our jour
nails and magazines; for the manu-
facturers Of Negro dolls; the contin-
ued existence of these things means
that they are filling a want, that they
come in answer to a demand; they
are prophetic of a coming day when
growing sense of self-respect will
make caricatures rare; when other
needs will be supplied, a just appre-
citation and support of what is being
done, will induce those who are now
doing to do more and those who are
not doing to try. 1t means the de-
velopment of our own lines of bust
| ness, the employment Of our own
boys and girls, and at the same tirae
it is an unanswerable argument to
every charge of racial incompetency,
irrefutable evidence to racial coopera-
ton and business integrity-the final
word as to the possession of race
ideals, concrete expression of a pur-
pose to do our own thinking, reach
our own conclusions, and act as our
judgment dictates.
We should be thankful for clear
er conception of the constituent ele-
ments in the foundation of permanent
progress.-Rev. H. P. Jones.
And the people of the Twin Cities
are thankful to have such man as
Rev. H. P. Jones among them.

say that easily, for there was no occa-

long before Snodgrass got TO the bag.
