Possibly this subject is rather
broad and incomprensible and it may
be rather early to write on this kind
of subject, but there are so many
things happening these days among
all races of people that a man does
not know when he strikes the nail on
the head. I believe when men are
leaders, they are born leaders. l
don't believe that men can make
leaders of themselves; but God gives
them the ability to lead and therefore
they grow into leadership just as any
other plant or vine develops. They
should not grow selfish because the
divine Hand seems to have appointed
them leaders over their weaker breth-
rem and then lose feeling of heart or
soul because their weaker followers
do not come to their ideal, and then
attempt to crush the life out OF them
and trample them down as an OK
would an ant. This kind of action to
my mind is not Divine leadership,
nor is it good racial leadership but
mean and diabolical in its effect and
action. If there is any class OF peo-
ple that has suffered for the missing
! link of leadership it is my people for
there is indeed missing link in men
who have accomplished little or much
in the world yet pose as leaders and
have done but little for the worlds
sake and cannot too much for the
reason that selfishness like a black
cloud looms up and not only hinders
themselves from doing but stops
others that would do. For instance
| have seen men advising others how
to make living, how to go init
business, how to buy land, how tt
build houses, who themselves neve
owned one inch Of land, never bull
a house or made any show whateve
in the uplift of the world; and We
they howl and howl for leadership
But the people are growing to
place today that they actually wan
leaders of integrity; leaders then
selves who have brought somethin
to pass.
We are living in time now Whe
our race is diseased with Leadership
The air seems to be pregnant with tn
voice of leaders among us, from on
end of the country to the othe
Should we not be very careful an

By the grace OF God We have been
kept through a sever winter and
found comfort amid the trying vicisi-
tudes of the past months.
Individually, down in our hearts,
We are grateful. but the capacity OF
the human heart is not great enough
to hold the endless gratitude due the
beneficient being, who has given us
all we now possess and from whom
we expect everything we yet hope
for, hence the world is the field in
which gratitude may expatiate. go

great things the Lord hath done for
thee, and hath had compassion on
thee" We look upon the field, we
behold a harvest ripe and ready to be
gathered from Mt. Zion, the query

and whom may we send?"
Remember dear brethren the Mis-
sionary Baptist State Convention will
