who knows the negro better
than any other man, and will dc
as much, or more, for him.
I appeal to the negro of the
south, and of Rankin county in
particular-the best county in
the state for negroes-let your
bucket down where you are and
draw a good honest living out OF
the Rankin soil.

Christ, and until the end he
served his fellows in accordance
with the teachings Of this Christ,
as a brother.
Naturally, Masonry which,
humbly following the Truth,
would try to help to bring all
men into that relationship which
the Christ came to re-establish,
appealed to him, and he became

life. III his every thought and
