Sin is the greatest disease in the
world
1t has spread from land to land
Hatred has gotten the world in a
hell of a fix
And not much longer can it stand.
II
God gave man the ruling power of
the world
And man has given woman part
of that
That's why the world is in hell of
fix
And most every race down on the
black.
Christ said fer us all to love We
one another
Every word he said was true facts
He did not say to hate the colored
man
Because his face is black.
"
God is going to change mans mind
No man will know when it will be
Abraham Lincoln freed the black
man once
The next, God is going to set him
free.
The next hundred years there will
be no black
They will be mixed from A to L
Read as you go down the line
And take a good look at me.
VI
The brightest child is not the cause
of this
The Caucasian race is the blame
The black lambs wool is as warm
as the white
So it's a black lamb just the same.
VII
Jesus did not die for color
He died for all who would believe
That he was the Son of the Al
mighty God
So let US all now take heed.
VIII
Stop fighting the black lamb today
Soon or late we will be one
So We must love We one another
And let God the Fathers will be
done.
We must stay on the Kings High
way
Where the salvation of God abide
No drunkards or gamblers on this
highway
There is no place on it to hide.
The flesh and blood highway is not
the one
Jesus travelled the Kings Highway
Of life
It's the highway for our family
Both man. his children and his wife

Moreover, weighing Mr. wilkins statement from

BY PERCY GREENE

NlGH !. Occupying my AoNoiite
spot down on the lower end of the |
Ole Avenue where | sometimes
park on Saturday night for pur-
poses of observation and inspira-
ton, a young couple, husband and
wife, without doubt, passed close
enough for me to Overhear the
madame insisting that she be given
some Of the remaining cash from
the Saturday night pay envelope
which must have already been
greatly depleted from the looks Of
the large bundles of groceries and
things that were divided between
them. The husband was equally
insistent in proclaiming that what
he had was needed to pay some
bills. From their countenances |
could see that the subject at hand
was not conducive to the proper
attitude between husband and wife.
Just then a young professor, friend
of mine who had also observed
them, came up and we started
conversation which ran to the sub
ject of young wives, many OF whom
were working before their mar
rage, who quit work as soon as
they are married and set down on
their husbands when they could
be working and helping to pay
some of the small bills common tC
a family that make for a great
deal of the unpleasant relations:
and final break-ups of young mar
ried folks. Like things are now
it is a great problem for a young
husband to provide enough money
for the family's real needs, and
at the same time pay for all the
frills, such as hair dressing, fancy
hose and leg paints, powder and
perfume demanded by the average
young wife, and with such job OPP
portunities as now exist, it seems
a reflection on a woman to be so
dependent. That cid expression
Child, | amt gonna work no more,
| married that man for him to take
care of me-" is outworn and fool
ish The young married woman
working and contributing to the
immediate and future needs of the
family is a much more admired
creature, both in the eyes of her
husband, and in the eyes Of the
public and friends.
