EIGHTH YEAR.
THE RACE PROBLEM
A N ew ^Light to Cast its Refulgent
Rays on the Vexed Question-
An Afro-American Says lie Will Answer
the Prayer* That Asscndeil to Hea
ven on the National Day of Fast
ing: nn Prayer.
Tnat is to say lie spoke with more
wisdom, and had a better understand
ing of things than ordinary men andner
therefore taught the people differently,
and the reason of that was he was a sup
ernatural bein that is to say, while ru
had a human body lie ha 1 a divine mind
which is the soul of man, a divine mind
or a divine soul just which ever you
choose to call it but either or both mean
the same thing, for am ui's mind is bis
soul. I will explain this thing more
fully at another time mire convenient.
So now we have before
us the natural
man and the supernatural man, the
natural man seeks to obtain or gain his
point by force, while the supernatural
man pursues a peisuasive course, usinc
all peaceful methods, when we say that
Jeasufl was both God and man we mean
that his body was man while his mind
was God, human and divine combined*
The natural man manifests a disposition
to use force, for he is ever ready to go to
law to compel his opponent to come to
terms, he will use bomb3, dynamite, fire
poison, and a host of other things to
compel his opponent to come to an
agreement, and often when these things
fail he will declare war but with the sup
ernatural man it is quite different for he
follows after the spirit, which is right
eousness "Not by power, neither by
might, but by my spirit saith the Lord."
Now I said that God answered the
National Prayer when he sent Jesus the
Christ into the World. The Christ was
God's answer, to all enquiries, but God's
answer which was Jesus had to act as
interpreter and make known the Lord's
will to m.in. Now let us see what the
interpreter-8fkV8 about troubles such as
you prayed to God about on the 31st day
of Mav last. Listen "When they per
secute you in one city, (community) stay
and fight it out." Is not that what he
told you to do? Oh, no you say that
don'c sound right. Well I will try it over
again. When they persecute you in one
city (community) rloe ye into another.
Now how does that strike you? Oh, you
say, that sounds more like it. Then
why dont you do h? Where is the wis
dom in complaining about a matter, and
ptaying to God to do something when
you have already been told what to do?
God has done his duty when it comes to
answering prayer. Now why (Ton't you
do yours? "He that hoareth these say
ings of mine, and doetb them is like unto
a man which bui'.t his house upon a rock
etc. But on the other hand. "He tiiat
heareth these siyines ot mine and doeth
them not is like unto a man which b'lilt
hi-i house upon the sand. Which
house was destroyed when the flood
came because it had no foundation, a
(Hoods of ungodly men) and you are be
ing destroyed by them day after day,
and don't seem to know the cause of it
Until you learn to make use of the grace
that has already been given, you need
not expect to be delivered from your
enemies. Next week I will give you the
outlines of a place for a practical solution
of the Race Problem and, I venture to
say that if you will come together as one
man and carry it OHt as I suggest will
forever settle the difficulty existing be
tween the races. I am for settling the
race trouble as I am for breaking up the
solid South. Neither will ever be
acthe
complished by fighting, you will never
settle the race trouble by lesortingto
arms, you will never settle it by using
dynamite as some have hinted at, and
you will never settle it in the Courts of
Justice by law for you m'ght exhaust, the
United States treaeury and you would be
worse off in the end than you are now
for all the while you would be increasing
race hatred, and only consider that it is
that hatred and prejudice that you are
trying to kill out.
four little bosh called cit'zinphip. is
helplessly drifting with the tide of public
opinion while the winds are blowing in
every direction and so furiously that it
looks as though your boat would go to
pieces, but fear not be of good cheer, for
the pilot is at the wheel, and if every
man will stand at his post and do is duty
we will land on the evergreen shore.
When I said winds 1 mean winds of
doctrine, Republicanism, Democracy
The People's Party movement. The
Prohibitionists and all others. You
seemingly have forgotten the -words of
warning, which says, be not ye carried
about with or by every wind of doctrine.
Those words are applicable to both
church and state. If a man is sick and
calls in a physician and if he has any

WIIBU ic CAS.B on the great physician to
do something to stop the pain, that race
it seems should be willing to follow the
instructions even "When they persecute
you in one city or (community) flee ye
into another." But before the fleeing
takes place there is something else of
great importance to be attended to, and
I will tell you all about it next week, as
I purpose to write a series of articles on
the Race Problem, and other things
pertaining to the future "wellfare of the

And in violation of one of the most

An apparently innocent Colored boot

has sprung up about the Court house.
The entef prising brokers deal in these

they would seize them and offer to crsh
their vouchers. The practice became
such a nuisance that a rule was passed
to the effect that the special officers of
the Court house should allow no voucher
brokers to practice their business in the
Court house corridors.
Superintendent Hildreth has enforced
the rule in the strictest manner, but
back behind the main stairway, at the
door of the
COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICE.
An old Colored man named Mose
Strange runs a boot-black stand. He
has been there for years and has manag

he ksarned that the innocent looking
boot-black was one of the most extensive

plaint was made to Superintendent
Hildreth. and he, after looking into ihe
matter, becuue satisfied that the stories
told were true. He Kent hid men to
watch the boot-black, and it is a safe bet
that in a few more days his familiar face
will be missing from around the Court
house unless there is some truth in the
rumor that a prominent official of the
county is baeking him and will protect
him. The discovery has created quite a

the word of God are sure evidences of a
person being born again." II. "Growth
and improvement in wisdom and in
grace are the desire of every christian.
The word of God rightly used does not
leave a man as it finds him, but improves
and makes him better etc." A lively
