Jesus maketh clean all who trust;
and He is a universal physician to
whom all may go without money and
without price The educational mass

of illiteracy more than the whites
have. To have better world, we
must have better action by all; that
teachers are only helpers, assisting
the people to train their children
for usefulness. Parents should pro
vide suitable social entertainment for

is necessary for good citizenship
