When we at last turned into the open road, we were not so confident.

DISTINGUISHED CoLoRED ORA
TOR HERE MONDAY NIGHT.
(Contrihutedl

On last Monday night the pastor of
the Wilbur Memorial Methodist Epis-
! copal Church, colored, called togeth-
er members and friends to receive o
service flag which contains twenty
stars, representing the loyal sons OF
Tazewell.
The flag was presented to the
church by Judge S. C. Graham, in a
very timely address. The Judge COM
plimented the loyalty of the boys and
the entire negro soldiery, citing in
stances of deeds of daring.
DR.. w. A. C. Hughes, of the Board
OF Home Missions and Church Ex-
tension Society of the church, the
speaker of the hour, was introduced
to the audience, and for one hour
held his audience in a pleasing schol-
arly manner. DR.. Hughes placed be-
we are in the war and why the ne
grose so willingly gave themselves to
their country. He said it was because
they are loyal to the Stars and the
Stripes and believe in democracy, and
because we are true American citi-
zens.
A speaker of this type will always
be welcomed in gazewell, and those
who missed these addresses have lost
much.
Judge Graham has addressed the
following letter to the Rev. w. H.
Brown, pastor of the colored church
in Tazewell:
81 was requested by you to attend
a meeting of the colored people of
the town at their church (Methodistj
to present "Servce Flag" placed
in the church in honor of the boys
from the congregation who have join
ed the eXpeditionary force. This was
on Monday evening last. was pleas
ed to be there, as the assemblage
was, after the Flag ceremony, ad-
dressed by Rev. DR.. w. A. C. Hughes,
Field Secretary of the Board of Home
Missions and Church Extension Soci-
ETY. of his church. You requested me
to give my appreciation of his ad
dress. The address of DIR. Hughes
was strictly patriotic one. He is
really al accomplished orator, mod
est, earnest and eloquent. was
greatly pleased with his presenta-
tion of the issues Of this world war,
could comprehend him. After this
presentation he then spoke of and to
his race; of their intense. patriotism
and devotion to the cause for which
America is fighting; that the vital
issues involved were world wide and
pertaincd to all people who wished
freedom and independence, irrespec-
tive of race. That this was the time
for his race to show its manhood and
patriotism. Tis address arose above
partizanry or race feeling Of any
kind.
He is the kind of an earnest man
that is doing good and will continue
to do SO, and l shall wish him God
speed.
"Respectfully,
"S. G.. GRAHAM"
