Let Us Go Forward
By Geo. ". Kibble.

As spring seems to be near, the
farmer is planning for March and
April in which to prepare their
ground for large crop. There is a
spirit abroad in the South which will
have the effect of diversifying the
crops. The farmer will not again de.
pend solely upon one crop. War has
brought with it a warning, and has al
the same time taught wholesome
lesson. The winter weather has
more to do with the nature Of the
summer crops than one would at
first think. The farmer watches the
weeks of winter patiently. He
knows what dry winter means and
what plenty of, rain and snow and
moisture will accomplish in the com
ing hot months of summer. That We
have had our own special brand Of
weather this winter we cheeHfully
acknowledge.
That we have had thrust upon us
several other brands we reluctantly
admit. 1t has been for the best, how
ever, for nature is watchful mothei
and provides for her children as she
thinks best. Winter is now nearly
at an end. The flowers are beginning
to awaken the sleeping earth. We
must be prepared to make use o
every available hoe and every plough
to be had in this land Of ours.

4 MESSAGE TO
YOUNG MEN.
]. P. Robinson
Little Rock, Ark.

Some one had said: ITO be a
young man is a blunder, to be an old
man is a regret" both of which I re-
gard as falsehood. To be a young
man is an opportunity; to be an old
man is the grace of looking back over
past victory.
This subject comes to me possibly
because l have had for the last few
weeks the privilege of studying young
men, and of all men they have the op-
portunity of looking forth unto the
future; vast opportunities lie before
them and these opportunities should
be looked into seriously because their
future life depends upon it.
was invited few days ago to be
the spiritual advisor Of young man
who had committed an awful crime for
his age. A young man Of only twent-
four years who was thoughtless
enough to kill woman and child be-
cause he thought the woman had
money; but in this effort to get this
money he trapped himself and lost
his life. I admit all men should want
to have money but they should desire
to obtain 1t honestly. This lesson he
to obtain it honestly. This lesson he
did not learn until it was too late.
He was caught, convicted and electro
cuted last Tuesday morning at seven
o'clock labored with him again and
again while he was in the penetentiary
to become Christian, all Of which he
did profess. Even that was by the
skin Of his teeth for he had lost a life
that could have been used for the bet
terment of mankind. But instead his
life was thrown away for a few dol
lars. I asked him how he came to
came to his downfall; he said he came
to his downfall: he said he came to it
by drinking and gambling. I think
I persuaded him that although he had
been a miserable wretch, Jesus loved
him because He died to save him.
This young man had been tried in the
Criminal Court at Little River County
and the jury that sat on his case, the
lawyer that represented him and even
he himself acknowledged his guilt,
This case so burdened my heart until
I felt compelled to write a message to
young men; because you, young men,
are the future hope of the race.
The old fathers and mothers who
prayed for this day Of freedom have
passed into the great beyond; but
they never thought that in their fast
ing, praying and shedding Of tears,
they were doing this for those who
would not appreciate their effort in
bringing about this freedom. saw

him, I baptized him in the faith in

worlds life, a man will have to think
this way through. By industry and
economy, he will rise step by step
both into civic and commercial life
and will be a great benefactor to man.
kind. And that young men is the only
life worth living. When I asked John
Hawkins, the man Of whom I am writ
ing, the victim of the electric chair,
II he attended Sunday school, his an
swer was NO Then when I asked II
he attended church his answer was
NO. Thus the two most important
factors that cause men to think Alright
were neglected by this man, the Sun
day school and the church, and his
life was blank and void Of good as
ISOLATION. In this connection I am
forced to ask the young men to desist
from living a blank life for by living
such a life you will eventually be led
into the snares and pitfalls Of Satan.
The sun OF enlightment is TOO high
for a man to live in strata Of the
lowest humanity.
Young man you can easily think
yourself into a thing but your biggest
trouble will be to think out Of it.
We have now in this connection
many young men who are going along
in the world not thinking OF the vast
ness Of eternity, They fill their lives
with complaining. They have an OBJ
lection to every state law, the CONNER
cial interests and even the church and
Sunday school. They fill the corners
of the streets with smoke and words
of dissatisfaction but they must re-
member they have the opportunity OF
making and shaping the world as they
think It should be shaped so far as
right Is concerned. God never intend
ed for the world to be turned over TO
complainers; but men who think SEN
siblv and strong will eventually sue
coed in shaping the policy and life OF
mankind. hear many OF the young
men complaining now because the pro-
hibition law has prevailed and more
than six hundred thousand saloons
have been driven out OF business.
Now It comes to the young man TO
think himself into business without
breaking the law, because II he breaks
the law, he becomes criminal and a
vagabond. But frequently the Ne
gro excuses his conduct on the
grounds that the white man does as
he does. But the young colored
man must remember that the
white mans father owned this coun-
try; it has been handed down to their
race although many Of them are living
off money made by the sweat from
the brow of our parents to say moth
ing of what they are making today OF
their children.
