In connection with the celebra-
ton of the launching of the New

dents Of Tougaloo College had the

companied by an historical account

In addition, there were various
other versions on display: the
American Bible Society version of
1854, King James, Smith Good
speed. Short Bible, and a rare edi-
ton of the English attempt to fore
stall the American Standard of

I'VE NEED UNDERSTANDING
TO KNOW GOD"
You will find the killer at the
slaughter pen
And a skinner if he knows how
You will find the Butcher in the
market
Knowing how to cut every part of
the cow.
The killer and the skinner
On his clothes the blood is seen
The butcher in the market
His clothes are white and clean
| want you to see the difference
Between these two men in sight
One works on the dark side
And the other is on the bright
side.
The killer and skinner is not the
man you see
To cut and sell the market meat
The man that kill and skin the cow
His clothes are not so neat.
The thing to do is to watch as you
go on
And know the things you see as
we'll
Thousands of people are stumblin..
on downward
The road to hell
If every woman and man in the
church
All girls and boys the same
Would obey Gods Holy Word to-
day
This world could afford som e
shame.
There is no shame in the slaughter
pen
Where the killer is standing with
his knife
Blood is streaming like water you
see
The killer is taking the animals
life.
The meat cutter is in the market
His clothes are white and clean
He gives you the kind of meat you
want
You can get it fat or lean.
Read and think as you go along
God gives me all true facts
His Son shed his blood for every
race
Made it plain for white and black.
God has no lazy child on roll
His Holy Spirit makes you smart
Also His Holy Bible tells US
