mystic confines Of the White House,

behalf of the rights and privileges Of
the colorcd people of the country
and presented these TO Speaker Clark

the Office OF the Secretary to The Prcsi
dent in presenting them. Now comes
the National Nace Congress with Rev.
w. II. Jcrnigan as the moving sp.r
it and Hon. William Harrison as spok

tive Of the nation himself. This was
not all for Rev. j. C. Austin Of Vir
ginia but who is now Of Pittsburgh.
Pa, offered prayer, Il most apDroprI-
ate course to pursue.
Then Hon. William Harrison spoke
and every one knows that Harrison
can speak. Reports say that President
Wilson was moved to tears by the
appeal. There was a reason. Condi-
tons now are critical in more ways
than one. President Wilson was con-
frontcd with duty on ,onc hand and
athe powerful influence at work against
the colored people Of this country on
the other. He made a promise and
we believe that he will make an ef
fort TO keep that promise. It is not
our purpose to unduly embarras him
by further comment here and so we
content ourselves with asking the
colored people Of the United States
to continue the prayer without ceas
ing that Rev. J. G.. Austin began in
the White House at Washington.
God will bring all things right in
His own time.
