CD Prevent further wars by teaching the so-caIled
white race that it is high time for them to quit foOling
themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths
of the worlds population. They must be taught that
color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught
that seven-tenths of the worlds population is made up of
darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun
that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do
not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold
ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race:
and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed
by a money mad few. If the FatherhOOd of God and the
Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this
worlds family now, by teaching the principles laid down
by our Saviour. it will be welded into the hearts of our

Again we watch the old year recede into oblivion
and look forward to the New Year.
Each year we form new resolutions and pray for
health, happiness and better understanding. The world
we live in, Is changing, moving forward to an indefinite
destiny. Much unhappiness abOunds as a result of mis-
takes on the part Of some and the general trend Of condi-
tons.
The year 1882 brought happiness to some, sadness
to others. AS we 20 forward into another year, with the

THE RAILROAD TO FREEDOM"

THE RAILROAD TO FREEDOM"
by Hildegarde Hoyt Swift
(Harcourt, Brace & Co. N. Y. City,
Harriet Tubman was born a slave in
Maryland about 1921 and died in Au-
burn, New York, March 10th, 1913.
Even as a girl on the southern plan
tation she was different from the
others. Life to her was a serious af-
fair and she couldn't accept the fate
Of being a slave without making at
tempts to free herself.
"The Railroad to Freedom" is a
most interesting, intensely stirring
novel built around the life of Harriet
Tubman, or "Moses" as she became
known. She escapes from a cruel
master, making her way north where
she attracts the interest and attens
ton of the great abolition leaders and
she devotes herself to the cause of
freeing other slaves by way of the
underground railroad, or the railroad
to freedom.
Time after time she enters the
southland, each time returning with
slave refugees whom she successfully
pilots to northern points and freedom.
Eventually she steals her own father
and mother from the throes of the
slave-master and they settle in a
little home on the outskirts of Au-
burn, New York.
Later, during the civil war, Harriet
plays an important role for the Union
forces, and these activities, like all
the others, are 50 written as to cause
