imperative that he shall be reused
to meet it. Yet it is not to theori-
tically dramatized all my own woes
that | would enter the public arena,
but, so far as. my feeble efforts might
be of value would lend a helping
hand to focalize conditions, awaken
the slumbering spirit, strike blow
at the base of the iniquity, combat
and destroy the influence which al

moralized the minds, blasted the
hopes and impaired the lives of mil
lions of the grandest race that has
ever pleased God to place upon His
Footstool.
/ come not alone and a stranger;
lit is not only my own story, but the
story of millions that l would relate.
Honesty believing that the humblest
creature may become an instrument
in the hands of Providence, and be-
cause can't think of anything to
keep still about, l have decided to
take an occasional chance on the
rostrum.

demonstration of conditions as they
really are, and methods and means
used and applied, by blandishing
usurpers, to bring about intolerable
conditions, and to foster and feed
the blind demonolartry in Christian
land of liberty where men kneel eft

TO all those to whom would like

the ice, ambigously trying to dis

for such is not the case. 1t is far
thest from my thoughts. The article
is not an expression on any personal
animosity. 1t does not find its
origin in any quarrel with any par
ticular man or men. / bear hatred
against no man, class or clan; it is

If | had means at my command.
would write volume with my right
hand, truthful story truly grand so
those that run could comprehend the
meaning of my burning brand; |
would have the people to understand
that the time has come is now at
