How you planned and talked of the little home you would have.

You saiw the children of the dear old South working in fields or miills when they should have been in school. O(n every hand you saw poverty and all its aecom panying evils. But "John is not like other men, he will provide for mn. better than father ever did for mother," you said. Then came years and years of nerve racking toil andl anguish, years in which the fear of starvation haunted you night and day. These were the years in which you almost lost hope, and optinlisam all bhut vanished. lBut these were the years in which you discovered all was not right. You wondered why some did all the work and had nothing. while others did nothing and~had everything. These were the years in which you grew resentful at the undeserved abuse heaped upon you and yours. These were also the years in which the race saving spirit of rebellion had its birth within your l~tantt, but you did not know this spirit. so you vented it on poor .John. You held the individual as being responible for your a tnl ition. You did not know that it was and is this inxcr, Sshxtte ,,[ of soci4y we are living under.
