William D. Brigham's Remarkable Let
ter to Race Through the Guardian.
Boston. "A remarkable episode in
race affairs has taken place here. A
practical friend of the race was taken
down with pneumonia recently. Ed
itor w. TrOtter. as secretary Of the
Equal Rights league. which is urging
the race to hold Douglass centenaries
under Equal Rights committees, sent
word to the pastors of the various
churches of his friends condition, and
prayers were offered in their churches
for his recovery. This friend Is now
recovering and has sent the following
letter of sincere gratitude to the Bos-
ton Guardian. Of which Mr.. Trotter Is
the editor:
Dorchester, Mass, Jan. II, 1917.
Dear Friends-I have been during the
last four weeks critically i'll with pneumo-
mia and walking in 1.-The Valley of the
Shadow Of Death"--I am glad to say
walking in it and not through it-and l
am writing these lines to express my deep
est gratitude for the prayers offered for
me in the colored churches and homes of
my friends In Greater Boston.
There are two sides to the equation
when one has a day and night nurse. q
physician calling two or three times q
day, q pneumonia specialist from the city
and q tank CT oxygen In an adjoining
room ready for sudden use. 1t Is difficult
to say how much Of recovery is due to
human skill and how much to prayer, but
I firmly believe that prayers offered by
those who have the ear Of God affect the
live in hr a
and are unknown to the world, but be-
lieve that "prayer moves the hand that
moves the world
suppose those who believe In segrega-
ton will agree that prayer Is colorless-
that there Is no such thing as black pray
ers and white prayers. 1t Is almost worth
while to have been 80 sick for the sake
Of receiving such evidences Of love and
affection and appreciation as were sent to
me and which was only able to have
read to me during the last few days.
During my sickness I thought Of Tenny-
sons lines:
"And may there be no moaning Of the bar
When put out to sea-"
am glad to have struck some blows for
equality and only wish they had been
harder. Let each Of us be found with
his face to the foe, fighting for freedom
and equal rights, and then when the last
hour comes each one Of us will have un.
derneath him the everlasting arms and
can say:
II hope to see my Pilot face to face
When have crossed the bar"
May I ask all who were kind enough
to remember me to receive this expression
Of my gratitude in place Of a personal
acknowledgment. Sincerely.
