Democratic Jim Grows.
OMAHA, Feb. 24.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Seeing in your paper the account OF
our northern democratic brothers taking
steps to Jim Crow his northern negro broth
ers ] thought I would write. God is the
creator of all men and in creating man
he had no evil in his mind towards man
He created all colors Since God created
man without evil in his mind man ought
to be clean. 1t was Gods purpose for man
TO be clean at any rate. SO brothers, move
the evil out Of your hearts and cast It from
you.
Jesus says, come not to call the
righteous to repent once, but the ungodly
We, the negro, are your ungodly
so you act. Brothers, we are seeking Jesus;
we are seeking Him for a purpose That
is to help cleanse the world We read the
papers and we see what sin and immor-
ality is doing; how the people, white and
black, are going on down to ruin We read
where mans mind is growing on higher
planes. DO you think. my brothers. that
Jesus, who came here and walked among
men and who teaches us He came not
seeking the high, but the low, considers
us whom you think not worthy 70 eat the
crumbs which fall from your tables? Don't
you suppose God the Father hears our
prayers?
1 feel assured that some Of you are fol-
lowing Jesus. II you are, let me, one OF
your inferior sisters. ask you to follow
Him while in prayer and works and see
IL you won't feet better. Jesus cleansed
the leprosy, opened the eyes Of the Blind,
made the lame walk, caused the deaf to
hear and the dumb to speak Says He, be
We perfect, even as your Father in heaven
is perfect. He says learn of me. We are /
learning and fast Some of us are like |
the lower class Of whites-don't care to do !
right
would say to my colored brothers, let's
unite ourselves for Jesus. So doing Jesus
viii raise us up and we will be more de-
sirable to our bigger brothers Your race
Is almost run. Your northern democratic ]
brothers whom you have tryed so hard to
put in office are trying to Jim Grow you
now. until the next election. Jesus says, |
beware OF false prophets stick close to
Jesus, who heard and delivered us in a |
day Of sorrow. He knows our needs and |
wants. He will prove Himself to us as He |
did Daniel / am not a preacher, but a |
colored woman, born with the disadvan- !
tages Of the race. but I know that Jesus
is mine. and all others that will seek Him |
