essential elements that make for per-
ity Of heart, rather than . presumP-
don that makes al men unworthy Of
their consideration. A good woman has
nothing TO fear from any man, no mat
ter how debassd he may be- Her an
eelie nature was brought to earth to
enrich and soffsn the ugiy improperly
of humanity, and 1t IN becomes, them
to entertain premature, unhoiy thoughts
of al men indiscriminately.
A great many Of our Kind are drunk
with the notion that something about
them or their family, or something that
somebody did for them or their family
makes them far better than others who
are slow at pretense, and who hate
foolish vanity and exaggerstion- Wen,
that often Is true. People Of this kind
have bat little need, If any at al, to
emphasize the fset. The fact speaks
for itself. A diamond does not try to
blind anybody with its brillianey. If
it's q diamond that is all to be said.
The poet says:
The gaudy gloss of fortune only
strikes the vulgar eye. The praise
that's worth ambition is attained by
sense alone, and dignity Of mind.
The best man or woman, or girl or
boy, the writer ever knew, were folks
who cared nothing for social life, pre-
tended to be not good, but just, were
honest with themselves, friendly to
others, and would not gossip. Worth

too often q large bunch Of somebody

Scene: On street ear between slst
St. and seth St., On State, the following
episode vas rsslsd on in ten minutes;
Two big strapping cOlOred men engaged
in . conversation audible 10 every
passenger in the ear. One of them was
saying that he was going back home,
Offering a. q reason the hep he got from
mister Smith, the big grocer, in the
town he came from in Mississippi.
ssYou don't have TO work 90 hard and
you gifts your rest, eOse You don't get
q heap . money, but you can have all
You wants to eat, and that is the chief
Joy of life, besides you can 60 fishing
once in while and they ain Y no rental
agent to report TO-"
The other contended that living in
the North makes q man free, eose you
has to work hard anywhere, you can
save more money here, and you can
dress up swell, and no low whites tn
poster you. If you means to git along
you can do it right here, and eat al
you wants if you amt too lazy and
good for nothing to work" He went
on: "I've bought me two wagons and
four horses, and they brings me in six
dollars a day, after paying the driver
and feeding the horses; besides ]
works, and now has q bank account
more than had in Nstchez, Miss"
The above offers an excellent con
trast between two of the crude chill
dren Of nature. One Of them was Of
no earthly use, the other was indus
trious, saving and frugal 1t shows
the difference in individuals, and q
strong proof that people make q great
mistake in sizing up Coiored men oil
women as being alike, because by aeci
dent, they happened to be born eolored
The North does offer suffering Ne
groes an opportunity to show theil
worth. OF course the lazy, shiftlesi
Negro had better stay down South
where he can at least keep warm, and
have plenty to eat, that's about al
life offers to him anywhere. Such 6
Negro does not mind the cruelty and
oppression of the white South. He doe:
not feel il, and therefore the South il
better for him. The North is the good
ly land flowing, 50 to speak, with milk
and honey to any man, If only he Ia:
the spirit to go forward and be some
body.

Nothing has happened since the i'm
mortal Lincoln wrote laws into that
great proclamation that gave freedom
to four million souls that could in any
manner compare with what the present
great world war has done for the Ne
gro. II has helped individuals Of all
races, and it has helped some other
races, but not to be compared with
what it has done for the Negro Of
America. It would not be q bad idea
II the Negro pulpit should grow elo-
quent on the many things that have
been brought to us As race. 1t might
be discussed at our Iitersries Sunday
afternoons, our lodges, temples, clubs
might thing and talk of the multiplicity
Of benefits we are to get out Of the
great world strife now being waged in
Europe.
Let us see If we can name q few
things we ought to be proud of. There
is plenty of all kinds Of work, giving
to eur race an opportunity to demon
strate our fitness to do more than q
hundred things that hitherto were mo-
nopolized by union labor organizations
that gave no chance to Us, not even the
mildest encouragement to q few indi-
viduals that had made themselves 1T
for various lines of work
Recognition to places Of responsible
ity and chances of promotion heretofore
undreamed of.
A chance to take our place inS the
battle front where men are men, and
where the color Of man is not to be
diseredited or discounted.
The opportunity for organization and
teamwork, in subscriptions for Liberty
loans, helpful women clubs of Tarions
kinds for relief and comfort of soldiers,
Z. W. c. A. and Y. N. C. A, and the
educational propaganda to enlighten
our people, speakers, officers, ehsplains,
surgeons, etc.
We have only touched the surface Of
the great subject that lay 50 beautifully
before rs.
We are rising, yes ne are making
progress that surprises even ourselves.
We are no more to be judged by the
scale set apart to weigh the work Of
the unlettersd.
Nor by the power to lift thises from
the ground, but We are 10 be meas
ured by that greater power, knowledge,
which is required to move the world.
We nust grid up our loins, awake
from the appalling isthargy that onss
hold rs hand and foot, and make Gun
claim upon the best things of life. and
prove tat thsy were curss BY eur sbE-
| ity and facility 70 held then and BY
