ers for these policy-holders are all
Negroes, loyal to their race and to
their God. They will not be dis
couraged by this sale, but they will
rededicate and reconcentrate them
selves to the task of building up Ra
cial enterprises and will demand the
cash or loan value of their policies
and place their membership with
some other Negro institution, and
thus, out of the ashes Of the Stand
ard will rise a greater North Caro-
lima Mutual, greater Atlanta Life,
a greater National Benefit "a great
er Supreme Life and Casualty, great
er safe Negro institutions every
where The loss of control of this
institution will not shake the conf
dence of our race in Negro enter
prise, but spur on Negro Manhood to
deeds of greater achievement.
Look to God, OH Black men, and
swear by Him that liveth forever
that pride in Negro Manhood, pride
in Negro Womanhood, and pride in
Race achievement are assets that
cannot be bought and sold, and
though the material assets of the
Standard Life go out, the race, the
Negro manhood and womanhood, the
agency force, and the policy-holders
will exercise their manhood rights
and demonstrate to the world that
they themselves cannot be sold; that
they are above the price of gold;
that they are free and independent
human beings and will continue to
support their Race by demanding
the cash surrender value of their
policies and lining up with some
strictly racial institution.
Arise, OH Black men in the North,
the South, the West, the East, and
linking hands and hearts, create and
build newer and mightier institu-
tions wherein the manhood and wom-
anhood of the Race will have a fair
opportunity of unhampered express
sion and advancement.

Stevens. Both principals are col

though the witness declared on the
stand that she had been divorced
from her former husband in Atlanta
in March, 1922, no decree of divorce

Arguments on the motion have
