"It is astonishing to realize what

he was their best friend. He was the
best friend to more people than any
man 1 ever knew. His friendships
were not confined to those of large
affairs, but extended to those in all
walks in life. He had the happy
faculty of not only making men friend,
ly with him but of making them
friendly with each other as we'll. In
his public life as in his private rela,
tiOns he was always genial, upright
and effective. The shrine of his great
devotiOns was his home. His life was
eOnseerated to his wife, his children
and to his kindred. Though taken
from the earthly paradise far too soon
we can truly say that his work was
finished in the joy and the happiness
which he radiated among men,"
"our departed friend is not here
beneath this blanket of flowers. He is
in our hearts, there ever to remain
until we in our several turns shall fol.
low him. And he lived so as to en-
twine himself around our hearts so
that he cannot be forgotten"
eff just the friends who are gath
cred here were to give expression to
their love for him it would take from
now until sundown to hear his good
deeds uttered. He was a human dyna-
mo, generating happiness and friendli-
ness"
For more than twenty years Mr..
Redheld was one Of the warmest
friends Of the writer and for that same
length Of time he was a constant sub
seriber to this paper and We join with
his relatives and troops Of steadfast
friends in lamenting his passing on out
into the next world where he win be-
come living part Of the monumental

Since his death the daily papers have

THE BEGINNING OF ooAnR
CIAIIsa6.
By DR.. N. A. Majors.

Looking back through the past
twelve months one can see many incl
dents Of q trifing nature that stirred
the heart. If out Of the rich exper-
fences we have not profted we have
ourselves only to blame. Further and
higher we have come from the squalor
of other unnpened years. A seeming
triumph is ours with those of other
mortals bent upon making this old
world better to live in.
Certainly we are making progress.
The kind that lasts. The kind that
causes people to take notice in all
seriousness, and TO rate us higher in the
scale of economics.
The business idea is taking strong
hold on the race. There is really some
incentive for such action. b There is
also today a greater possibility of ideal
ism among US. Finaneiers, realty men,
insurance men and bankers are coming
up from the ranks, and the future
seems bright for big things in the not
distant days.
What we are beginning to witness
daily has been on the road for quite 9
while. Thousands who hoped to see
this bright dawning of a great rising
sun of commercial life among us have
died with the full-bloomcd thought in
their minds.
Yesterday the spiritual life of the
race was ablaze in. all its glory, the
bishop, the ministers and the laity
thought much and preached much of
dieing and going to heaven. Much
good has been done through the
churches for it was the way to pride,
to self-respeet and the college.
Through the church the race has real
lied its intellectual awakening. Today
we have the intelligent clergy to
eorrellate, and coordinate forces with
the business men of the race, the bank,
ers, the realty and insurance men,
these to further augment eapitaliza-
tion, which points to the mercantile
and commercial enterprises which are
swiftly coming to the fore.
To-day the merchant, the business
man and the manufacturer are attract
ing our attention. Another age with a
physical, yes a human interest to sur
vive, to speculate, to accumulate, to
build fortunes and amass wealth and
to enjoy an earth plane existence, be-
cause this one on the mundane sphere
comes first.
Today the department store idea is
dominant, cooperation, union of capital
and concentration of interests, where
all have peradventure the same hopes
and where all work together to accom-
pish that same good end, this is the
solution to our racial difficulties, "That
is the Negro State Bank" " "that is
the Negro Department Store" "That
is the Negro Building and Loan Asso-
citation" "That is the Negro K. of P.
Temple" "That is the Negro Hos
pital," "That is the Negro Chamber
of Commerce." these are the sayings
of a white skinned race that must ever
feel that our own best interests dooms
US to isolation from the rest of the
human organizations and corporations.
In thunder tones it speaks to us a
various language. We must make our
soft and big salaried places for our
own kind and out of our very best hu-
man material. The college, the uni
versity and the industrial institutions
will do their part.
