favorite spot on the Old Avenue,
indulging in my favorite Satdee
night repast, which I won't name
by name this time on account Of
the subject to follow, and while
abiding my time, listening to what
was being talked about by Amt
Haggar's chillun most Of whom
come to town from the farms and
interlands out by the forks Of the
creek to spend their little change
on fust one thing den another
and in order to learn what goes"
amongst the hep kats and chics
who promenade in gloss and high
paint up and down the Ole Avenue.
What 1 heard at every turn was
talk about going to hear Rev. Bro.
Joseph H. Jackson, that BIG
PREACHER FROM CHICAGO
(. who preached out at the new
Colored Folks Auditorium here
Sunday and what I heard Sat
urday night / wasn't a-tall dis
appointed when I got out there
Sunday myself, and saw more Of
Amt Haggar's Chillun there, as
sembled in one place for the same
thing, than I have ever seen here,
since here I been And when
the thing was over I got off by
myself and set down and wished
for q long time that the place had
been a hundred times bigger, so
that q hundred times that many
could've been there, which would
have included all Of them that got
turned away what made me
wish that all Of Amt Haggar's
Chillun could've got in was
what the preacher said about and
to Amt Haggar's Chillun in par
ticular, aside from what he said
to EVERYBODY And the
part I'm talking about, what ne
said to the Chillun o-the-tribe OF
Haggar's, is what the BIG
PREACHERS here, there, and
EVERYWHERE, ought to've been
saying long time ago, and is what
it's time now for Amt Haggar's
Chillun to be putting into practice
'mongst they-selves The part
what he said what Pm talking
about is when he said THE LORD
DIDN'T TELL YOU TO BE NO
"CROSS MAKER" HE TOLD
YOU UTO BE A "CROSS BEAR
Err" and folks who set out "mak-
ing crosses" for folks has their re-
wards already fixed, and none Of
'em won't want that reward when
it's issued out to 'em know
now what's mostly the trouble with
us . TOO MANY OF US is
TOO BUSY MAKING CROSSES"
FOR OTHERS TO BEAR FOR
THE LORD TO HEAR OUR
PRAYERS.
