LITTLE WILLIE'S LETTER.
Who arc to make up the Negro
Race Of tomorrow? Who are the
mon and women to be? Why, of
course. they are tho boys and girls
of today. Then the big question
comes. What will the race be?
Unless there Is Il great change,
wonder what will become Of this race
when the present boys and girls be-
come men and women? God only
hlo"S Gnu hoDc lllaJ TIC
will lay His mighty hand on them,
guido and direct them that they may
not forget that there is God. 1t
seems that Il greater number Of our
young people, even to the very small
boy and girl, arc more impressed
with the things that will keep them
from being somebody and from doing
something that will be credit to
themselves and the race, than they
are with the things that will help
bring about great results.
The streets are full Of children at
) night, boys and girls.--and alonc-as
, late as eleven o'clock, where they
! hear and see all kinds OF things that
they should not know at eighteen
and twenty years of age. What do
, we expect the race to be? How can
they be anything that any people
would be proud to live among? Who
is to blame? Don't ask that ques-
ton. Who kept you at homo and in
your place, when you, who are now
mothers and fathers, were children?
Who made you stay. in school
those Of you who had Il chance at
school? Who saw to it that you
attended Sunday School and Church?
Who saw to it that you got to bed by
nine O'Clock every night and knew
that you were at home and not roam
ing the street? We'll then. that's
whose fault it is now, that the chill
drcn are not what they should be.
Start them right and they will get
used to doing right and when they
are older they will keep 1t up and in
your old days, they will make you
. proud.
Mrs. Mickey Atkins, OF Fourth
D.. Avenue, n. w. has returned from Il
few days visit to her friend, Mrs.
Fannie Joplin, at Wilcoc, w. Va. and
reports Il great time in the coal
fields. Mrs. Atkins is expecting Mrs.
Joplin for the week end in Roanoke.
MIR. and Mrs. Joplin are old Roam
okcrs, but Mr.. Joplin has been in
West Virginia for several months,
where he is holding Il position with
one OF the large companies and
making good.
All who missed hearing DR.. G. N.
Grandcrson, last Sunday morning ut
MI. Zion Church missed the treat
OF their lives. All those in love
should have heard this great sermon
from tho text, "God so loved the
world" DR.. Grandcrson claims that
most of us know nothing about lovo
, and / Amen!
Last Sunday was Mems Day at
Hill Street Baptist Church, and in
the afternoon, Mr.. Wicks, in charge
OF the program, had for the people,
Lawyer AtD. Oliver, DR.. e. r. Dudley
and Major w. b. T.. Crowell, all on
same program--somc combination
and it was hard TO tell who should
have tho dog. Tho sexton had to
turn the lights on the last speaker
(and they spoke in order named
above) so that's hint to all in tho
future, to either have just one OF
these gentlemen at a time, or have
an all day affair or a three days
run and invite them, and it will DO
continuous, no stops or waits. And
they all stopped by saying they were
not wound up, hut just stopped to
give the other follow a chance. But
it was q fine meeting and neat sum
was lifted to be turned in the gener-
al church fund.
Miss Nellie Myers, OF Fourth Ave-
nue., N. W., an invalid, but the jol-
Hest girl in town, plays fine string
music, guitar, mandolin and does
fancy needle work. She can hardly
be equalled. She is Jolly Nellie
every time you meet hcr--sprcading
sunshine all the while.
Look out, here comes the Hogs.
Tell you all about it next week.
Yours.
