The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1922-04-15

one OF the stewards of His money
and Mr.. Rosenwald is making the
proper distribution of the money and
rendering unto God the service and at
the same time blessing humanity, and
thousands of little children through
the south can testify that this is true,
and as they develop into manhood
and womanhood they will praise
the name of Julius Rosenwald who
will never die, but will live on and on
for the service he has rendered unto
the people.
In the statement to which I have
put my name is expressed my opinion
of one of the greatest men l have
met since l have been in this part
OF the world and since God said "Let
there be light" and it was done. 1
am reminded in this that God don't
make mistakes but He knows human
ity, and selects the men He wants to
use hence more of them should get
where God can use them.
1 have been hearing and hearing
about Mr.. Rosenwald, and 1 thought
that he was a man that you could
not reach with a ladder a thousand
feet long, that he would have four or
FIVE private and other kind of secre-
taries who would ask What do you
want to see him about?" and then tell
you it can't be done. You see where
l am as I write you these few lines?
Well, / came here to be at the unS
yelling of the mopument which !
have been talking about before today
or other days, for you have been
reading what ! said and how / said
it. After the drill Monday afternoon,
I noticed crowd of men around a
little clean faced man who seemed
full of life and as friendly as men
get to be, hence i sought to know
who he was, and DR.. George c. Hall
gave me an introduction to the friend
" character, and to my surprise he
extended his hand and expressed
pleasure in meeting me-
"Sure this is not that wealthy man,
julius Rosenwald have been read
ing about" / said to myself. and
thought for 4 while that DR.. Hall was
trying to play practical joke on me,
but II was not long before I dis
covered that he was not, and wanted
10 shake again. but would not ask
his, but just decided not to wash
hat hand for a week, because il had
been in the hand of the man who had
so much for the Y. NJ.
{. A. buildings throughout the eoun-
nv, the benefit of which is being en-
Dyed by so many young men. Then
/ thought of the hundreds of Rosen-
valid rural schools throughout the
southland in which thousands of
children. are being trained for man
rood and womanhood and others now
icing erected. / just had to shout
md shout, and believe IN my soul
hat / shouted all over Tuskegee In
titute campus, and some of the shout
rot down in the town.
God gave us Mr.. Rosenwald, and
hen He gave US Booker I. Wash
ngton TO locate him, and just indi-
.ated where he should serve, and the
ervice has been gladly rendered. and
light by his side IS to be found the
cal queen, Mrs. Rosenwald, who is
ust as friendly as her husband. and
Who is doing her part to bless the
yomanhood of America She IS not
,nly a wealthy woman. but she IS
PRACTICAL woman and IS rendering
ervice unto humanity.
II Is wonderful how many great
nen-wealthy men, men of influence
rho are serving as trustees OF Tus-
eeee Institute. and how readily they
,v aside everything once a year and
make their way to this place to trans
Ct the business of the great school,
nd inspire the people with their mes
age of hope and good cheer, and re-
urn home. These men are not paid,
ut they pay. They pay their own
abroad fare, and often the fares OF
,bers who will take the time to make
he trim. and then return home feel
~ that they have done what God 4
,o,Id have them do and have gone
here God would have them go.
Thousands of people crowded into
'uskegee town and Institute to pay
heir respects to the work at the
rhool and at the same time pay ,
-ibute to that character who VIII live /;
, and on as long as time, and then
ITO eternity, Booker T. Washington,
hose bronze monument was I'M
-;Ied and will stand to inspire the
outh with the idea that Il can follow
Inn Then we look at that other re- ,
,arkabIe servant Of God and his peo-
