 The meeting closed by heart sing
 ing:
 Help us to help each other. Lord,
 Each others cross to bear, &
 And each his friendly aid afford.
 And feel his brothers care.'
 The colored news gatherer would l suggest. after the doll drive is over. that a meat, flour and meal drive be put on as a help for the unemployed
 Since so many of the colored people
 want to take The Age Herald. bui
 say first we are unemployed. Second I we have nothing to eat. and third, we
 would take the paper, If we had en-
 ployment, or even half of something
 to eat, so that we could pay for the paper. They praise the white people I and their employers especially, and I watch. pray and hope for them to get work. So meat and bread drive,
 and then a coal and wood drive, ana
 clothes drive and household drive
 among the colored people would help
 some if 1t did not do any more than
 make them feel better in the Sunny | South, beloved negro land, these com
 binations might produce an employ
 ment drive. We should all remember, however, it has been well said: "The \ darkest hour is just before day. s"Watchman what of the night?"
 'Whene'er I take my walk Cor ride) abroad
 How many poor Unemployed l see What shall I render to my God
 For all His gifts to me?"
