On thing I'd like to add to the above necessarily num-
Der eleven the order of conclusion to be pointed
out TO any Negro who fails to appreciate fully the ten phrases
FRAME THEM that put fear Of God any grateful Negro M
zen; aso i'll insI great love of the Southland in him.

whom talked they said Kennad framed that he more
had liquor his than easand belongs to the NeP And to
