LETTER FROM ELDER
DONOVAN .....
Dear General Overseeer:
Peace to Thee!

LEAR GouoIdI OV0IoocS1
Peace to Thee!
We received your most well
come letter today and we were
richly blessed by its contents.
You surely encouraged us in
our onward march to our eter-
nal home. 1t surely is sac
rifice not to be there for the
Convocation. We had looked
forward for a Spiritual Feast
for so long, but we are with
you in spirit, every meeting.
We often say, Cali things
work together for good to those
who love God" Sometimes we
can't see that, but this time it
worked out all right. We fully
intended to come to Zion, leav-
ing here on the 18th of Sept
ember. We prayed, if it was
not Gods Will, to block the
way up tight. We got our car
all fixed up, oil changed, bat
terry tested, etc. The man who
fixed the brakes and clutch,
said, "That car will take you
any place."
seemed to be getting strong
err, but the night before I got
awfully weak and the pain in
my neck was something terri
BILE. I saw Gods Hand in it
all. I was not fit to ride in a
car nor on a train, so we de-
cided God did not want us to
go. So we gave it up, and
then came the hurricane and
we were needed right here to
take care Of things. Our home
was not damaged but had we
not been here, the rain COM
ing in through two windows
would have spoiled things.
The wind was blowing at the
rate of 127 miles an hour and
the rain came in torrents. We
had to tighten down the win
dows to keep the water out.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1947-10-08
Wednesday, October 9Th, 1947

The leaves were torn off the
trees and blown against the
house until it looked green.
Our trees and shrubbery were
bent clean over and most of
them had to be reset. The
storm from the north last
ed about three hours, then
there was a lull lasting about
an hour; then we got word
that a worse one was COM
ing from the south and about
100 p. m. it started. 1t kept
us busy praying and wiping up
water which came through
two of our windows. 1t was ter
rible. Surely the devil is the
author of hurricanes. The cleo
tricity went off early in the
morning and we had none for
more than five days. A water
main broke but it was soon fix
ed up. God wonderfully pro-
tected us and we prayed and
repeated your verse, "Rejoice
in the Lord Always, and again
1 say rejoice" Phil. IA.
All our Zion friends advised
us not to stay in the house but
go to shelter that the city
provided, but we trusted God.
This is well-built house and
had gone through the 1926
hurricane without any dam
age. It cost us $1,000 to get
our yard fixed up. Some peo-
pie had to pay a couple hun
dred dollars, and had rugs and
furniture ruined. They say
the Beach was a wreck and
the people who lived near
New River were flooded. This
proved to be a good location
and we are grateful for Gods
protecting hand during this
hurricane, but we would rath-
er not have any more.
We had a week of squalls af-
ter that but now it is nice and
cool. Last night we needed a
comforter. There is good
breeze and the sun is shining.
I am feeling so much better.

day and it did not tire me.

alone but takes native. Then
too, a white person such as
Faith would not be seen alone
with a native man, so that is
the reason I went along. It was
a nice ride-bumpy, muddy
and long, but I enjoyed it. We
passed by some spots that
were simply gorgeous to look
at. The clouds are beautiful
and add so much to the seem
cry. We have an odd-looking
tree here that is exceptionally
bare on the lower part and
then on the very top it branch
es out and appears perfectly
flat on the top. I call them the
"flat tops" I'll try to get a pic
ture of one and send to you.
They say they are Crab trees.
Then there are many eerie-
looking vines that hang from
the trees, giving the forest
wierd look. It's strange how
green, green is, and yet when
you look at the jungle, each
green has it's own distinction.
There is another tree that
grows very tall and straight
and slender. It seems to have
a sort of peeling-bark, similar
to our Birch trees. The bark
is very light, almost phosphor-
escent at night. There are
more large rocks than I had
imagined, and Bob says some
day we will go over to them
and go climbing.
The boys who cut grass are
working on our hill this week.
They work a long time before
they accomplish much but at
least they are working.
Bob and the boys went by
freight train, which seems to
be all they have around here.
After they take care of the
business they will drive the
station wagon back. I believe
the trip is almost 700 miles.
The only thing left in the wag-
on to be shipped through that
way was our radio. Bob car
ried his radio and accordion
with him at the last minute so
that left the car empty except
for my radio. The freight man
said it would be safe and I
sure hope he was right.
We haven't received any of
the papers yet. I imagine it
will take a long time to get
them started and then they
will probably be regular. We
are reading a book of Daily
Readings together and I
thought you might want to get
it some time. You might ask
Aunt Flossie, she should know
about it. The title is "My Ut
most for His Highest" by Os-
valid Chambers. It is an ex-
ceptional commentary in my
estimation and I think you
would enjoy it.
On Thursday a little boy
came to our back door and
said his brother was sick and
wondered if we could send
anything for his stomach.
Faith found out that the child
had not had a movement for
almost a week and now
couldn't eat and was rapidly

On Friday the DfOLnef CAME
again and said they wanted
some one to come and help the
boy. Mr.. Lichty wasn't here
and Faith couldn't go so she
sent Gene and me to pray for
him. We had a "mtoto' (child-
boy) to lead us to the native
hut about four blocks away
and about two blocks into the
forest. We saw the grimy
heather native sitting on the
ground wearing his dirty rot
ten animal skin. Seemingly he
was uninterested in the con-
dition of his son. Death doesn't
seem to mean much to them.
Then too, they lose so many
children, I guess they get used
to it. We greeted him with
tonnage" (Hello) and he
just sat there and looked
mean. There were several peo-
pie around the hut-women
and children. One of the la
dies approached us with a
child about three years old in
her arms. The child appeared
to be lifeless-his eyes were
swollen and half open. They
talked their language a mile
an-hour, all of which we un-
derstood nothing. AS they
talked they showed us his
stomach and pressed it to indi-
cate how full and hard it was.
We knew only a few words
that applied to the situation,
so said very little, excepting
our own conversation in Eng
fish. Gene prayed and
we said we would be back
again (Rudi tena). We didn't
get back while he was still
alive. While we were gone to
Elderet yesterday, he passed
away. We didn't get back un-
til 1O:45 p. M, SO we didn't
find out until this morning. In
asmuch as the father is heath
en- and the mother, Christian,
it was hard to conduct the
funeral services to please both.
The heather gather together
and moan and wall, seeing
who can make the most noise.
The Christians gather and sing
hymns, have a message and
pray. After Church, a group
of Christians went over to
the place and had our services.
Musa held the meeting as Bob
was gone. A bed was made for
the dead boy just outside the
hut, sort of sheltered. They
took limbs from the trees
about ~ or 2 inches thick
and tied them together with
grass and bark, making a mat
tress. Then this flat crossword
of limbs was placed on four
larger limbs driven into the
ground to raise him up above
the ground level. The bed was
then padded with grass and
the body was placed on top.
1t was covered with a new
white piece of muslin cloth
and part of his head was
bound with cloth also. The
body was protected from the
sun by a large mat about four
feet in diameter, which lean
ed against the hut, leaving
only hic hnad and foot chn,11

Negro Voters Must Swear
Dislike For Lynch Law

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 4-(F}-
Some 5000 Negroes expected to
turn out for Mississippi's Dem
ocratlc primary tomorrow will be
asked to swear their dislike of
federal anti-lynch laws as g pre-
requisite to voting.
Adding perhaps to the irony of
this situation-the initial test of a
1947 law designed to discourage
Negro voting-the prospective Ne
gro voters also will be required
to swear accord with the time
IGNORED and cherished traditions
of the South"
The new law DEGREES that all
voters must certify agreement
with party principles as set forth
by the State Democratic Execu-
tive committee. Those principles
also embrace opposition to feder-
al anti-poll tax legislation and to
the Fair Employment Practices
commission.
In short, the Negroes who vote
tomorrow would go on record as
opposing several federal instru'
ments designed to help them gain
more equality in the South. The
Mississippi law demanding them
to do this was passed at a special
session of the legislature last
March. In 1916 Negroes had voted
throughout the state-in sizeable
numbers-for the first time. At
that time Senator Theo G.. Bilbo,
Acknowledgements proponent of
white supremacy, had urged the
whites to keep the Negroes from
the voting booths.
Clashes Reported
Several instances of white and
Negro clashes were reported. A
few Negroes charged they were
beaten by groups of whites, prior
to the election and on election day.
Later some of the Negroes testi-
fled at a hearing in Jackson that
they were physically abused and
bullied after expressing q desire
to vote.
Meantime, however, the MAORI

the Mortified help had regained
their nerve and entered the room.
The manager carefully unwrap-
ped the bundle and a small dog
walked out from beneath the
clothes. The puppy shrugged him
self and glanced around at the
large group of workers and slow
ly began to walk away.
The bundle was quickly checked
and the little puppy vas sent back
home and the workers went back
to work, some still a little shaky al
