Upon all important engagements when
our country is in need or a call is IS
sued, who like Abraham Lincoln, who
after meeting defeat several times and
finding that our country could not be
preserved without the aid Of the Ne
gro, he finally issued the call for the
colored boys to help. They came TO-
600 strong. Yea, 100000 of those
sable tan sons of African descent
came and reached out their ironed
arms, snatched the old flag from de-
feat and shame, placed it in the free
air of heaven, and if the opportunity
calls for him today he will respond,
regardless of past treatment, hoping
some day that a just God will right
the wrongs he now bears. The Bos-
ton massacre, where the first blood
was spilled to appease the British
wrath and cement our union, was
from Negro, and Bunker Hill, Valley
Forge, New Orleans, Gettysburg
Richmond and Vicksburg, Manila bay
Ell Caney and Carrill, Mexico, are the
beacon lights of his bravery, but now
your country don't want you and tell
you so. Why need we 60 now, and
yet we have a few who hoped to be
leaders who are trying to persuade
the Negro to 60, and they would not
60 themselves unless they hoped to gel
some office and notoriety.

WHAT IS PATRIOTISM?

In these momentous times one asks
himself, What is patriotism? Is it
the love of country and the respect
one has for his adopted home? Or
does it consist of getting excited, be-
coming mad or whoop and hur-
rah? Or is it the quiet, earnest, hon.
est, unassuming citizen who loves his
country, not for her victories in war
or military achievements, but who
loves his country because of her equal
ity of law, just enforcement of the
laws and equality of manhood, who
honors the flag of peace, industry and
sobriety, who does not seek trouble or
stir up a fuss. We prefer this latter
type of citizen, who is ever willing to
do unto others as he would have them
do to us. A real patriot is not run
ming around with a petition asking
other people to 60 or seeking to get
up company so that he or they may
get some Office or cheap notoriety.
First go and enlist yourself when the
call is issued.

EASTER.

EASTER.
The Christian people are approach
ing one of their greatest festival days
in it's history, namely, the resurrection
of our blessed Savior. 1t is the Easter
day that brings our thoughts first to
meditation, sorrow and sadness, and
finally the resurrection, hope, life and
enthusiasm of joy to the world. That
our, Savior though once dead, but
broke the grave, arose from the dead
to living Savior, who assembled into
Heaven and is sitting with the Holy
Trinity as mediator for our sins.
Therefore we can all rejoice that we
worship a living Savior, who gave life
and light to the world. We Chris
tians should be the missionaries and
true disciples of Christ to carry this
great light to the dark and 'benighted
world, with love for all humanity
ever keeping in mind the universal
brotherhood of man and the father
hood of God.

WHAT SHALL THE NEGRO DO IN

The great question is, "What will
the Negro do in the present war
crisis?" The war department does
not want Negro soldiers. The pres
ent administration is against the
progress of the Negro, having refused
him admission into the navy and
army schools or even to- enlist, and
segregated and Disseminated against
him, and as yet has offered no in
ducement to come and fight for the
American flag. No one doubts the
Negroes fighting quality. No one
doubts the Negroes loyalty to the flag.
