which stands unequalled by any
other in the state.
Rev. over has earned the further
distinction of being the oldest pastor
in point of continuous service among
the colored churches in Colorado. He
began his work at the Eighth Street
Baptist Church, Pueblo, in the sum-
mer of 1906, and has continued to
the present time, period of almost
thirteen years.
During these years constructive
leadership has marked all his activi-
ties throughout and has determined
him a man of that personality and
force of character who will make
himself known and respected as a
leader in any community.
Realizing his worth and the quail
ity of his service Zion Church in
tends to express its appreciation in
these activities in which ii asks the
public to join. The Tenth Anniver-
sary sermon will be delivered by the
Rev. George w. Henry, Pueblo, on
the fourth Sunday morning and the
next evening a programme of appro-
pirate addresses and choice music
will be followed by public reception
in which the service will be charac-
teristic of Zion Church. 1t is the
hope of the congregation that the
whole community will make itself
free to participate in all these func-
tons. Complete programs will be
published next week.

COMMUNICATION FROM AN Elk
SLAVE.
Especial to the Colored People of
COlOradO).

COlorado).
VIII the Negroes ever be a full |
Pledged citizen of the United States?
The Democrat platform says:
white supremacy" He intends for
you to do just what ever he says to do,
and you must not object. Now they
have DISTINGUISHED the Negro in some
parts of the South. What does it take
to constitute disfranchise? You
have to commit treason against the
government before you can be disfran-
chised. Jeff Davis committed treason
when he ceceded from the Union. He
was taken before the U. s. Supreme
court, found guilty and was disfran-
chiSed. Now they can't diSfranchiSe
a man because he is black, according
to law.
1t is now time for the young Ne
gro to get busy. The Democratic
party not long ago tried to take the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
out of the constitution. They had to
put them in the constitution before
they could make the slave Il free man.
now if they We're taken out of the
constitution, they would be slaves. He
had no protection; the government
can't protect him because he is no
citizen. We must thank the Republi-
can party lOI our lIttNitlll. J'ilh
Brown said at Harper'S Ferry, Nir
gina, that after | am hanged there
will rise one John Brown for every
strand of hair in my head, for every
slave who is just as free as you ara.
| He called an old slave mother from
the crowd and ask her to pray for him,
| for whom he was going to die.
John Browns Prayer.
John Brown of Osawatamie
Spoke on his dying day,
! will not have to strive my soul,
A priest in slavery pay;
But let some poor slave mother,
Whom l have strive to free,
With her children from the gallows
stare,
Put up a prayer for me.
John Brown of Osawatamie,
They led him out to die,
And 10 a poor slave mother,
With her child pressed nigh,
His dark blue eye grew tender
And his old harsh face grew mild
AS he stopped between the jerring
ranks
And kissed the Negroes child
/ will say to the colored people of
America that they commit as much
sin to work against the Republican
party as it is to sin against Christ.
God is opposed to slavery. He sent
Moses down into Egypt to lead the
slaves out of bondage, and Lincoln
sent Grant into the Souht to free the
slaves. When Grant arrived in the
South he wired Lincoln to free the
slaves, and let them fight to free
themselves.
Now how can colored man be n
| Democrat? Some of the colored min
listers will get up in their pulpits and
tell their people to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket just for few cents. The
ministers will strain at gnat and
and swallow camel, when they will
| take n Negro in some parts of the gov
eminent and tie him to Il stake, cut
off his ears, his fingers and gouge his
eyes out of his head, that is no harm,
but il you are caught in the city, with
bottle of whisky, they Will go to the
courts and say, "There is a man in our
district seen with bottle of whisky;
he must be arrested" but it is no harm
to burn his eyes out of his head and
burn him to the stake; that is all
right. Just leave the case with God.
God revenges all wrongs and says,
"Vengence is mine"
