With the last word the boy sat

note was sounded The purchaser
walked over, half pushed the boy aside,
and stood with one knee on the stool,
playing idly with the keys. The boy
walked away rapidly to the edge of the
crowd
1t was his organ. He told q man
that and the man, somehow interested
because of the memory Of that "Old

The organ was all his, to play at night
and in the afternoons when there was
no school. He didn't know many boys,
because he had always the organ as a
friend. 1t was a friend and almost
alive to him. And then, because the

on merit, having not only passed the
examinations but climbed over the
barriers of prejudice that are con-
stantly placed in their pathway. In
some of the southern cities every one
of the mail carriers is an Afro-Amer-
lean, and in Chicago over 600 of the
men in the postofice are Afro-Amer.

pagans be converted to Christianity

He further states that: "the time has
come to put an end to this white
arrogance. He does not seek tt

principals of universal brotherhood by
destroying the unjust prejudices Of
the white races which are prompted by
selfish purposes"

SUPERSTITION.

Superstition, in all times and
among all nations, is the fear Of
a spirit whose passions are those
OF man. whose acts are the
acts of man; who is present in
some places, not in others; who
makes some places holy and not
others; who is kind to one per-
son and unkind to another; who
is pleased or angry according to
the degree Of attention you pay
him or praise you refuse him;
who is hostile generally to hu-
man pleasure. but may be bribed
by a sacrifice of a part Of that
pleasure into permitting the rest.
This, whatever form of faith it
colors, is the essence Of supersti-
tion.-Ruskin.
