Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER XXIII No. 33 OTTUMWA ITEMS Mrs. Ovey Gooch entertained a few friends at her home Sunday in honor of her mother, who is making her a short visit. Mr. Eugene Herold left for Minneapolis on Friday, where he expects to make his future home. The Sunshine Band of the A. M. E. church will have a supper and program Monday evening, January 29th. Everyone come out and help the workers along. What might have been a serious accident happened to Mrs. Hattie Benton last Sunday. As she stepped into the door the wind blew furiously and threw her about ten feet into the yard on the ground. Mr. Robert Mayou of Cleveland, O., died at the Sunnyslope Sanitarium, and the funeral was held from Dagget's undertaking parlors. Rev. Cato had charge of the service. Messrs. Pierre Barquet, Will Downey, Russell Elliot and Mrs. Elizabeth Downey have returned from Omaha, Neb., where they have been on business. A number of our young men and women have formed a club to meet each week. Mr. Rice Lintz, president; Geo. King, secretary. Their initial meeting was held at the home of the Misses Wagner. They met this past Thursday with Misses Zeila Clark and Genevieve Searcy at the home of the former. QMAHA. NEB. Mrs. Julia W. Sanders, a devoted wife and mother, and also conductress and organist of Zion Baptist church, died at her residence Monday, January 15, 1917, at the hour of 9:30 a.m. m. She was married to William Walker Saunders in 1902, January 12, in the city of Omaha. She was born in the state of Kentucky in 1874. She was 42 years, 11 months and 15 days old. She leaves to mourn her loss two brothers, one sister, two sons, one daughter and three grandchildren and a devoted husband, Mr. W. Saunders. We have lost a mother, a friend to the girls in the choir and to the young girls of the church. Our loss is heaven's gain. Rev. W. F. Botts officiated. CLINTON, IOWA. Mrs. M. O. Culberdon, who was taken to Agatha hospital a few days ago for treatment, had another operation last Friday. She is doing as well as can be expected, so say reports from her bedside. Mr. Richard Clarke is a new subscriber to the Bystander. Clinton seems to have its share of illness among our people. Those who are thus afflicted are Mr. Price Elegan, Mrs. Wm. Henderson and Rev. W. W. Williams. Curtis C. Bush came out from Chicago on Monday night for a week's visit with his parents. Rev. F. J. Nott was reported on the sick list last week, but is up and around again. There was no services at Bethel A. M. E. church Sunday, owing to the illness of the pastor. The program which was to have been rendered at the evening service will be given next Sunday, nothing preventing. The Bystander while deprived in size nevertheless gives better satisfaction. Its columns are much more interesting and could be more so by the co-operation of the correspondents by the contribution of items oftener Owing to the fact that the C. & Jr. W. railway has purchased properties on which they will make large improvements in the way of a new passenger terminal and freight offices, Mr. F. F. Jackson will be forced soon to quit the present location of his Tenth avenue hotel and take quarters elsewhere. There are some who make no disposition to settle their obligations with this paper. The management desires they do so soon. It costs money to give service. People cannot expect service when they do not pay for it. Mrs. M. B. Davis of Chicago is in Clinton, called here on account of the illness of her daughter, Mrs. M. O. Culberson. MT. PLEASANT. IOWA. Mrs. M. Conner was born in Bellefountain, Ohio, September 15, 1862, and came to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, in the fall of 1863, where she has since made her home, with the exception of a few years which were spent in Lincoln, Neb. She was married to George Madison Harris on January 1, 1880. To them were born five children, all of whom survive her, William, Viola, Nora, a married daughter, Mrs. Bertha Holt, and Grace. She departed this life on Sunday, January 14, 1917, aged 54 years, 3 months and 29 days. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, one son, four daughters, one brother, Oscar Conner, of Red Oak, Iowa, other relatives and a host of friends. Our loss is heaven's gain. The funeral services were held from the St. John's A. M. E. church Wednesday, January 17, at 2 p.m. by her pastor, Rev. B. F. Hubbard, assisted by Rev. Thos. Osborne, pastor of the First M. E. church. William Hutchinson was born in Kentucky in 1848 and died Thursday, January 18, 1917. He was married to Laura A. Johnson at Chillicothe, Mo., in 1869, who preceded him about seventeen years ago. He came to Fairfield in the spring of 1875. He went into business as a barber for himself about 1888. Afterwards he went to Eldon in 1900 and followed the trade, and then he came back to Fairfield and continued his trade until about six or seven years ago. He leaves to mourn his loss an adopted son, Herbert Hutchinson, of Ottumwa, Iowa, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at Frazye's undertaking parlors Saturday, January 20, 1917, at 2 o'clock p. m., conducted by Rev B. F. Hubbard, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, assisted by Rev Keesey of the First M. E. church. ST. PAUL BUDGETARIAN One of the heaviest snow storms of many years reached us Sunday morning last and continued all day and night. Street car traffic was very much impaired by the snow drifts. Quarterly meeting at St. James A. M. E. church was poorly attended, owing to the severe weather.

MACON, MO, NEWS Although a very quiet home affair, the marriage last week of Miss Carrie Henderson and David Noel was one of the notable nuptial events of the week: The ceremony was performed at 8 p.m. by the Rev. A. M. I. Bird, pastor of the Baptist church of Kirksville, Mo. Only a few were present at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Noel, as it was to be quite a surprise to their many friends.

The importation of many thousands of colored laborers, both skilled and unskilled, from the southland to the northland is an epoch in the commercial and industrial life of the Negro in the north. We plead with our white friends as well as those factories and workshops in the north to open your door of opportunity to he or she who may knock, regardless of color, and give the Negro a man's chance to make good. Let honesty, efficiency and labor count, not the color of his skin. All we hope for and ask is an equal opportunity as any other man to make good. PRESIDENT HYPOCRISY. In a recent address to the American congress President Wilson outlines his International Peace League propaganda, which when sifted down to practical facts, is full of deceit, hypocrisy and meaningless phrases. Like all of his former public utterances, the civilized nations have but little respect for them. His tariff views are wrong. His preparedness views are wrong. His Mexican policy has been an ignoble failure. His financial management of this country is a dismal failure, as we are now running behind in expense of operating our government. One of the quickest ways to stop this war is to put a munitions or arms blockade from the United States to any warring country. WHY DO WE CONGREGATE TO OURSELVES. Our attention has often been called to the fact that our colored children in our city high schools will huddle off to themselves and show no disposition to be sociable or friendly with their white fellow students. Why is this? Why should we be sulky, and try to keep ourselves away from our white companions? Let our children show a broad view and friendly desire to mingle and mix and thus lessen the racial feeling. Parents, teach your children to do this, and soon this color line may disappear. FORMER IOWA MAN MAKING GOOD. We are in receipt of a letter stating that Mr. S. C. Thompson, formerly of this city, but now on his farm near Driscoll', N.

This office only lasts during the session of the state legislature to the end of March. Mr. Thompson was recommended by the Farmers' League of that state. We congratulate Mr. Thompson. It will be remembered that while in our city he was active in city politics. This is the first political position ever given a colored man in North Dakota. OSKALOOSA. IOWA.

Scarborough Calls Attention to Labore of Great American In Bailhold of Our Race—Praise For Other Noted Men Who Have Contributed to Our Education. In outlining the work for the new year, 1917, and speaking of the urgent news of the Wilberforce (O.) university Dr. W. S. Scarborough, president of that noted institution, says in a letter to the New York Independent that it is the purpose of Wilberforce university to erect a science building as a memorial to the late distinguished editor of the Independent, naming it the "William Hayes Ward Science hall." We feel that no better tribute could be paid to his memory by the PETER H. Negro. He virtually devoted his life to the interests of the race. By voice and pen he aided our emancipation, upheld our rights and denounced our wrongs, advocated our education and encouraged our ambitions. He inspired us with hope for a future free from prejudice and proscription. Dr. Ward was also a personal friend of Wilberforce university and of Bishop Daniel A. Payne, the chief of its founders. Whatever pertained to its welfare deeply interested him. Therefore he noted with deep regret on a visit some four years ago when he addressed us during commencement week that our quarters for science teaching were totally inadequate. Every one who knew Dr. Ward knows what a keen interest he took in all lines of scientific endeavor and research. It seems to us, therefore, very fitting that we strive to build for our great need a monument to him that will not only show our grateful appreciation as a people of his labors in our behalf, but that will also have a close connection with the things in which he took so great delight. It is equally fitting that the oldest Negro school in America should be the one to put forth this effort and that its campus should be the spot where such a memorial shall stand. Dr. Ward was always quick to recognize a real need, and there is no question that a science building is one of the greatest needs of Wilberforce university today. All its class work along scientific lines is greatly hampered by lack of room for work and for even the proper placing of the laboratory equipment for which friends are making arrangements to provide. Our work planned for advance study demands the new building, as does the constantly increasing work in certain industries and in agriculture. We cannot even make the most profitable use of our small but well selected museum because it cannot be properly arranged in our present crowded quarters. Thus we find very important work suffering at every point because of needed enlargement. Wilberforce university, because of its strategic situation, its environment and many admirable facilities, is one of the strongest centers of Negro higher education in the country. Its work is constantly growing. It provides all around training in literary courses, teachers' training and vocational courses, of which there are seven. With forty-one instructors and 500 students, it is serving most acceptably in a wide field of Negro education. It is the oldest institution of its kind in the United States, as I have just said, dating as far back as 1847, when was founded the Union seminary, a manual labor institution for the education of colored people, and which was subsequently merged into Wilberforce university. It was named in honor of the great English statesman and benefactor of the colored race, William Wilberforce. It was incorporated in 1856, and its first board of trustees included Governor Salmon P. Chase, who at his death left it $10,000. Major General O. O. Howard, Major General Saxton, Dr. Bellows, Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Frederick Douglas and other men of prominence have served as trustees of this institution. Mr. Andrew Carnegie recently gave DR. W. 8. SCARBOROUGH. $17,500 toward the erection of a $50,000 building for girls, which with the $20,000 already donated by him for a library building made his total contribution to Wilberforce university $37,500. It has today an enrollment of 500 young men and women, from nearly all the states of the Union, from the islands of the sea and from Africa, and needs still larger quarters for them. We are therefore sending this appeal to the independent, to the readers of this stance and fearless paper, to the friends of Negro education generally and to the friends of Dr. William Hayes Ward in particular, asking their aid in accomplishing our purpose. The cost of this proposed building will be $40,000. We beg earnestly that out of their philanthropic love of humanity, out of their interest in education as the saving and uplifting power of a nation as well as a race and out of their friendship for and pride in the master mind that has gone to its reward our friends and Dr. Ward's friends will assist us in accomplishing our purpose. The memory of one who delighted in service will thus be perpetuated in an institution whose aim is service. Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, New York, throws the weight of his influence toward the efforts of Dr. William Sanders Scarborough to raise funds for the erection of a suitable science building at the Wilberforce university. Mr. Holt says: "The Independent is glad to publish the appeal to its readers from the president of Wilberforce university. I may add that I have visited Wilberforce, know its president well and can vouch for the good work being done there for the elevation of the Negro. "While the university maintains a very good industrial department, it has always stressed the higher education of the Negro, believing its greatest service lay in training its students for professional life and for the leadership of the race. I have often heard Dr. Ward speak with enthusiasm of the work Wilberforce was doing, and I am sure that any of his friends who feel like responding to President Scarborough's appeal will be aiding a genuinely worthy project." GIFTS TO MEMORIAL FUND. New Year Brings Many Evidences of Esteem For Tuskegee's Founder. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—With almost prearranged exactness a number of organizations and individuals sent in contributions to the Booker T. Washington memorial fund just about the close of the old year, and these letters reached Tuskegee at the beginning of the new year just like messages of New Year greetings for 1917. It was one of those significantly fortunate occurrences which seem to give a most encouraging outlook for continued returns during the present year. The Birmingham District Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical association sent $25 with the following expression accompanying it: "Some time ago our association's attention was called to the fact that a memorial fund was in process of collection for the purpose of commemorating the life and work of our great friend, brother and coworker, Dr. Booker T. Washington. As a body we raised the sum of $25." This letter was signed by Dr. B. E. Huckabee, president; Dr. J. C. Johnson, treasurer, and Dr. Fred D. Bradford, secretary. Through the courtesy of Hon. R. B. McCrary, most worshipful grand master of Masons of North Carolina, a contribution of $100 was received from that important state grand lodge. Mr. McCrary says: "Pursuant to my promise, I have the honor of handing you our check for $100 for the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. This contribution is a free will offering from various Masonic lodges within the jurisdiction of North Carolina, and at the time of sending the actual amount reported was $04, to which I have added the balance to make the even $100." J. A. Blume of Winston-Salem, N. C., a member of the Masonic grand lodge of his state, in a letter announcing the decision of the grand lodge to send the $100 referred to above says: "There is no reason why the fraternal organizations of North Carolina should not contribute at least $1,200 to this fund. We have in this state over 500 Masonic lodges, 500 Odd Fellows lodges and more than 200 Pythlian lodges. If these would contribute $1 each the amount would be quite large." The individual contribution was $100 from Hoh. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Tapier was a lifelong friend of Dr. Washington and was associated with the National Negro Business league from its beginning up to the present time, having been elected president at the last annual meeting at Kansas City, Mo., in 1916. Mr. Napier is one of that group of loyal friends to Dr. Washington whom he often referred to as "the old guard." Dr. Robert R. Moton Is Optimistic. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, in discussing the migration of large numbers of colored people from the south to the north says: "Sooner or later the farmers, business men and scientists are going to get together very seriously, and the boll weevil is bound to be exterminated. Then cotton will continue as 'king' and the Negro who remains and helps to fight the boll weevil pest will share richly in the production of cotton and other forms of prosperity which are sure to come in the south. We must make up our minds that our chances for work, for homemaking and for developing are just as good in Alabama as anywhere else in the world."

Dewes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lead a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life first, to give always in proportion as your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and you will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other "follows have only their eyes.

Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less exertment than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demand upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and hearing of the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have him. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Most Effectual.

The Public is Invited ```markdown ``` BOOK COLLECTORS' EXCHANGE ORGANIZED AT WASHINGTON Movement Started to Centralize All Literature Written by Colored People. So widespread is the interest in Negro books written by members of the Negro race that many persons all over the country are now emulating the example set them by other collectors of rare books and pamphlets. They are adding to their collections whenever possible any books or pamphlets by Negro authors, of which there is no inconsiderable number prior to and after the war of rebellion. Many of these books have considerable historical and literary value and are well written productions, dealing with the various phases of the race problem as it was when their authors wrote about or against it. During the sessions of the American Negro academy at Washington recently a number of gentlemen met at dinner at the residence of Professor J. W. Cromwell, 1439 Swan street, and organized the American Negro Book Collectors' Exchange, one of the objects of which is to get in touch with Negro book collectors throughout this country, Africa, the West Indies, South America and Europe for the exchange of duplicate copies of any rare book or pamphlet by a Negro author and to compile as complete a list of titles and authors as possible. After considerable discussion of the matter John E. Bruce of New York moved to proceed with organizing the Negro Book Collectors' Exchange. The motion was duly seconded, with the result that Henry P. Slaughter of Washington, who owns one of the largest and finest collections of rare books by and about the Negro race in the District of Columbia, was unanimously elected president; Professor John W. Cromwell, District of Columbia, vice president; A. A. Schomburg of Brooklyn secretary-treasurer. Rev. Charles Douglass Martin of New York city, who has about 2,000 volumes, was elected librarian. Daniel Murray, Esq., assistant librarian of congress, was elected registrar, and John E. Bruce of New York city public agent. Book collectors among the white people all over the country are buying these old books written by Negro authors, no matter how insignificant they are in size and matter. Some day they will be valuable helps in the writing of the history of the Negro in America. Individual citizens having old books and pamphlets by race authors will perform a patriotic duty by sending the names of the authors, titles of their works, year of publication and names of publishers to the secretary of the exchange, 364 Van Buren street, Brooklyn, N. X. Daniel Murray of the Library of Congress is now classifying and rebinding all books now in his section of the library which have been written by Negroes, as well as all pamphlets on any subjects. No better disposition of these old books stored in closets and garrets when not on the library shelves of colored citizens could be made than by sending them either to the exchange or to the Library of Congress, where they will be preserved for all time. It will be an interesting sight to see the private collections of our Negro book collectors at the next great exposition held in this country. It would be a revelation to friends and enemies alike. The Schomburg collection in Brooklyn for the Negro Society For Historical Research is one of the most valuable in this country. MEETING FOR ADJUSTMENT. National Urban League to Hold Conference on Migration. On Friday, Jan. 26, a conference on Negro migration will be held at the Russell Sage Foundation building, Twenty-second street and Lexington avenue, under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. This conference is to be national in character and will consist of two sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The conferences will be representatives of national organizations throughout the country, including churches, welfare movements and schools. The subjects for discussion will be: "Causes and Consequences of the Migration." "Present Conditions of Those Migrating." "What Is to Be Doed to Aid In the Negro's Adjustment to His New Environment?" The purpose of the conference is to bring before the leaders of the various communities to which the Negroes are migrating the importance of aiding them to adjust themselves to their new environment, so that when the war ceases and immigration increases the Negroes may be well intrenched in their positions and may be worthy citizens of their adopted homes. Some of those who are expected to be present and contribute to the success of the meeting are: Dr. R. R. Moton, Professor John Hope, president of Morehouse college; J. E. Moreland, national secretary, Y. M. C. A.; John Mitchell of the state labor commission; Mrs. Mary Talbert, president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs; Dr. George E. Haynes of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and Mrs. S. W. Layten, secretary of the Philadelphia Association For the Protection of Colored Women. L. Hollingsworth Wood, president of the National Urban league, will preside. The sessions will be open to the public, and all persons who are interested in this question are invited to attend.

The cultivation of the purely esthetic is a fine habit and pays in widening one's mental horizon and elevating our sphere of usefulness. No one can have a grouch on who sings in his soul. To get out of bed humming a few bars of Melody in F is to make friends all day. In certain factories in Spain and France the workers hire readers to read to them; in some others, especially tobacco factories, they have players of music to speed up the work and keep the employees in good humor. It is a well known fact that waiters in this country do very much better work with less fatigue where they have an orchestra. It is true that popular music, so-called, does not stay popular very long and ceases to charm. The so-called "classical" music has a wearing and an appealing quality which appeals to the soul of all classes. Like poetry and other of the fine arts, the attempt to express a soul quality finds response in the effort to decipher the true meaning. As Jessica states: "I am never merry when I hear sweet music." Ragtime is but a reflection of the fast, thoughtless, easy, skimming-along-the-surface trend of our American life at present, while good music lasts so long as the deep abiding emotions are a part of the life of man. No one should lay them down to sleep without reading some line of poetry. If you are a lover, the poets have sung of your emotions and joys in terms which will make your heart swell to know that others have felt as you. If you are a parent, let Shakespeare, Southwell, Cowper or Wordsworth make you know the delight and despair of a lovely or ungrateful child. All in such a manner as to quicken the heart or the tears, as the case may be. If you be young, either in age or decision about life and what it is, let Pope, Ben Johnson, Sir Walter Raleigh, Dwyer, Surry or Holmes talk to you in such an intimate way that you will understand and the scales will fall from your eyes and you be transported beyond the usual views and live in a realm unsullied by usual practices. If you are lacking in patriotism let Scott, Byron, Longfellow, Whittier or Shakespeare tell you about your duty and the grandeur of sensation in really loving home. "When in disgrace in men and fortune's eyes" turn to the Psalms and Shakespeare. They will lift up your heart and make you know the common fortunes of men and put pride in your efforts if your conscience be clear. These names may sound like one needs be a profound student of literature to enjoy them, but it is all amiss, the thoughts are often so plain, the feeling so mutual that one will feel that they have met an old friend, one who can sympathize and not burden with that which is uninteresting. "My mind to me my kingdom is; Such present joys therein I find, That it excels all other bliss That earth affords or grows by kind: Though much I want that most would have, Yet still my mind forbids to crave. Some have too much, yet still do crave; They are but poor, though much they have, And I am rich with little store; They poor, I rich; they beg, I give; They lack, I leave; they pine, I live. My wealth is health and perfect ease; My conscience clear my chief defense; I neither seek by bribes to please, Nor by deceit to breed offense; Thus do I live; thus will I die; Would all did so well as I!" We have parted forever. He writes me to send back the ring." "Tell me to call for it." advised the experienced friend. "Louisville One Day Journal."

EXERTS WIDE INFLUENCE Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Ordination of First Colored Roman Catholic Priest Fittingly Observed—Members of Protestant Churches Take Leading Part—Presented With Purse of $700. Baltimore.—The recent celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Father Charles R. Uncles' ordination to the Roman Catholic priesthood was an unusually brilliant event in the religious circles among our people in this city. St. Francis Xavier Catholic church was the scene of the most interesting series of services perhaps in its history. The occasion was significant of the growing tendency of the race toward broad mindedness in religious affairs without regard to denominational affiliation. Members of the various Protestant churches mingled with the great throng at the celebration as freely as did members of the Roman Catholic church. The anniversary sermon was delivered by the Rev. Joseph Waring. Among the noted prelates at this service were Bishop O. B. Corrigan and Mgrs. Foley and Starr. C. M. Dorsey PRESIDENT FATHER CHARLES R. UNCLES. was chairman of the committee having charge of the arrangements for the civic exercises, which were held at St. Peter Claver's hall. Addresses were delivered by Messrs. Dorsey, Thomas A. Johnson, W. M. McDick, Dean William Pickens of Morgan college, Hon Harry S. Cummings, Father James J. Nally of St. Peter Claver's church and others prominent in the civic and religious life of the community. The presentation address to Father Uncles was made by Frank A. Simmons, treasurer of the local committee. Mr. Simmons said that the token of esteem which he had been requested to present to Father Uncles was from both Catholics and Protestants; that it was a purse containing $700 as a small gift from those whom he had the honor of representing. In accepting the gift Father Uncles in part said: I thank you most heartily for your cordial greeting and extraordinary generosity. This testimonial comes as the climax of thousands and thousands of evidences that the friends of my youth are still my friends. For this I thank God, and I thank you. Blessed is he that has many friends, even if he has no dollars; most unhappy friends, even if he is a millionaire. How grateful, then, and how happy must I be, now that I have many dollars and friends galore! Twenty-five years a priest of God! The mere announcement suggests a refrain which, like most good music, has notes of sadness as well as of joy. Though all anniversaries remind one of the rapid march of time, of the gradual approach to the bourne whence no traveler returns*, yet, as I have health and strength, as my girlfriend, as my girlfriend is strong and alert, as my heart is as glad and young as ever, I ought and I do give thanks to God for these and other blessings innumerable. After twenty-five years! The meeting of intimate friends, the congratulations of loving and helpful colaborers, the remembrance of twenty-five years of earnest labor and dutiful service, the hope of living yet longer to help others along the straight and narrow path, these facts, I say, these thoughts and aspirations, can fill my heart with gladness and gratitude. For all that has been commendable in my life and labor I here and now gracefully give credit to Almighty God, to my parents and to all my teachers in all the schools that I have attended, especially to my teachers in St. Joseph's and St. Mary's seminaries. And I give unstinted praise and unqualified thanks for all the teachers I have served, through those zealous and efficient missionaries, the fathers of the Society of St. Joseph. Nor am I unmindful of what I owe to you, my dear friends. Gladly, therefore, do I seize this opportunity to assure you of my heartfelt appreciation of all that I have received from you and encouragement. Yet I beg one more favor, a frequent remembrance in your prayers. Ask Almighty God to strengthen me, to protect me, to make me so serviceable as to win his favor and deserve your blessing. God bless all my friends and benefactors. Found a Sure Thing. I. B. Wixon, Farmers Mills, N.
