energy then must not be lost
when there is still much to be
done toward SELF etterment for
colored Americans"

This year the church will be
organized along different lines
with the object of becoming a
larger community force. A
number of new organizations
will be formed with new leaders

have adequate support. Free
from debt the church feels il
should increase its service in
many ways.

"We come to pay tribute to the

Republican Party. In his speech
he upheld the Union against
Southern threats of secession
