The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1918-03-30

ApOpka, Fiat is time for all peOuIe
to turn attention to their farms and 7
suppose that ! must soon do nv part Of
1t. 1 have been one more busy man
and think that I win have to be busv
for some time to come. am going 20
put IN corn, potatoes, peas, army beans,
turnips' and think fhsil plant some
thing out Of which to make sugar, for
that has been one of the things we have
not been able to get hold of because we
need it to help to win the war, and I
am going to raise some war sugar, be-
heye me.
There is not time for fooling now, we
have got to whip or get whipped, for
them Huns mean business and we must
mean little business. We are going to
kill them out or they are going to kill
us out. They are some fighting people,
and we know little about this fighting
business too. We have served notice on
the kaiser that the black boys are COM
ing, and every one of them are soldiers
and heroes. They are going to make a
mark for their race and their country.
1t is true that death don t draw the
color line, and believe me when we enter
them trenches over yonder we are not
going to draw the color line either.
White man on one side, black man on
the other. We are going to make up the
firing line, and if one dies the other will
die by his side. The white man is going
to protect the Negro and the Negro is
going to protect the white man. Let
us say to the southern white people
whose sons and brothers and husbands
have gone over there, that we are going
to join them, and there will be a mighty
dust kicked up when we get there. We
are going to turn on the enemy like
demons of he'll.
There are those of us right here in
America who are too old to get on the
firing line, but we are going to see that
you boys are fed over there, even though
We may have to 60 hungry. We are 60
ing to furnish the money. Every quarter
l get hold of now am turning it over
to our government, and asking that it
be used for protection, and this must be.
Now there is no need of you talking
about the government getting broke, for
if something like that should happen
your money would not be worth any
thing. II has its face value today be-
cause Uncle Sam is behind it, and if he
should fall from behind it then it would
be as useless as some other money was
after the war of the sixties. OF course
buy war saving stamps and buy them
long and often. Put all the money you
can get into them and into liberty bonds.
Let your country use your money. /
am speaking from my heart to you this
week.
Do you see where am this weekf /
am way down here in Florida, but 1 am
leaving as / write to you this week
am going to another part of the world,
and win write to you when get there.
am going to Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia, and the Lord
will have to tell you the other places
where / viii stop before I get through
With this trip.
1 have had q great time down here in
Florida with Bishop and Mrs John
Hurst. They have given me the best
hey had, and then I have had such fine
treatment from the men down here in
his state. I have spent . little time
With Dr.. John E. Ford, who use TO i've
n Chicago, and started his public life
here. He took up his preaching in
chicago and from there he went to other
,arts of the world. Now he is at the
,ead of one of the finest churches in
he country, known as the Bethel Bap-
list Institutional church. He has made
ueh q reputation as q preacher and
,ducator until the Home Mission So
iety has elected him for the president
4 Leland University. 1t win be the
