clean life. No one can rob us of the
fruits Of Christian character nor the
sweetness of lofty ideals
Plea For Greater Race Solidarity.
We should endeavor under all cir
cumstances to patronize race enter
prises and institutions. The great

solidarity and makes our influence
more keenly felt. This is the main
thing that we need to instill into the
mind of the average young man and
woman of the race. .....
