HERE IS THE POINT.

Are the determinations against us
Colored Americans, the denial of
rights, the prescription, the persecu-
ton, the killings, sufficiently extern
sive, degrading and injurious to cause
you in defence of the welfare and al
so the very reputation of our race,
to induce you to stand the expense of
attending a National Congress on
rights at D. of c., Oct.4, 1916; or to
solicit the expense to go for yourself
or some one else; or to get up mass
meeting or entertainment to raise
money to send delegates? That's the
rub.

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.

1 1t teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of it are unchristian and cruel ef-
forts of the stronger to Cypress
the weaker.
z It combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
5 It aims TO bring about such
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social, civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice in all the relations of
life.
T. 1t believes in and teaches the doc
trine of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality of all races in our Amer
ican civilization.
5. 1t aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti-race inter-marriage
laws &.
g. It is composed of members of both
races and sexes on terms of COM
plete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.
An Appeal for Funds.
Y I The Association needs mon
ey and new members. 1t costs just
one dollar to join. II you believe in
fair play, in fighting for your rights,
If you believe in organization and CO.
operation, join this Association and
