The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1920-12-25

bered, said Mr.. Wallace. But that
time is no longer, the Negro has
awakened he has yawned and will
soon shake his gigantic body as some
mighty beast shakes his name. Then
the world will tremble with pent-up
sorrow and mysterious sounds will
and cry will go up that means
all this and a voice answering: 1t
is the souls OF black men departed by
atrocities, crying from under the
altar, How long Oh Lord holy and
true, doth thou not judge and avenge
our blood on them that dwell on the
earth" Such outburst of oratory
from Mr.. Wallace held the audience
spell bound.
Mr.. Rudolph Smith chief of the u.
n. |. A. Field Corps, talked on the
ancient history of Africa. He told of
how 1000 year B. c. Arabs went to
Africa and there discovered the Afri-
can civilization was equal to that of
Arabia. And told of how Lucius
Opranius, an African chieftain was
deceived and kidnapped by the
Romans and what a great warrior he
was under Pompius Mr.. Smith also
told of the honesty of the African
Abborigines and that the evils of the
Negroes are due to the white mans
influence
The meeting next Sunday will be at
the West Point Baptist Church 1000
Cottage Grove Avenue.
Black Cross Nurses
In many instances throughout the
world the dereliction OF the Red cross
nurses due to chronological differentia-
lions has caused black soldiers, fight
ing under various flags, untold misery,
most severe torture and an untimely
death. On many battle fields have
the red cross nurses of the caucasian
and semitic races rushed past the
black soldiers, who lie helplessly
bleeding on shell swepted "No-Man's
Land their gaping wounds pleading
in eloquent tones for aid. Onward
rushed these red cross TO their white
brothers, needless TO the call OF their
duty to all mankind needless to their
sworn allegiance, not giving first aid
and often not giving SO much as a
! drink OF water. By such neglect
deadly disease germs of gangrene and
tenarus started their virulent course
and carried hundreds to an untimely
end. In view of these existing facts,
the Universal Negro Improvement
| Association is consumating an aux
iliary whose duty is to the black boys
the same as the red cross is to the
white boys. That auxiliary is called
the Black Cross Nurses.
\ corps OF efficient physicians
and surgeons have been selected to
give instructions in first aid care OF
| the sick, sick room management and
to impart others knowledge neces-
! sary for a trained nurse.
The uniform OF these angels OF
mercy is white with a black cross on
the upper arm, black cross on the
| front OF the couture, a veil falling
! back over the shoulders terminating
a little below the waist line, making
dainty and impressive appearance.
In the Chicago Division OF the u. N.
! |. A. there are about one hundred
women who have. taken up this
branch of the work under the vice
lady president Capt. Mary Z. Taylor
They will SOON launch out on their
duties Of sitting aud administering
Ito the sick. And Chicago will soon
be benefited by their work especially
in outbreaks of epidemics. The
Black Cross Society offers great OPP
portunity to women who have in
clinations towards Mythology. They
are drilled in light tactics by ex-offi-
GERS of the L. S. army, who fought
in the worlds war 1t is generally
conceded that when the United States
again send over black boys to the
battle front, our black women in the
name of the Black Cross Nurses shall
be waiting to give unto them first aid
and to care for the sick and wounded.
The Black Cross is the logical conse-
quence OF the past experiences.
