About Fifteen Have Expressed Inten- tion to Enlist with Red Cross. Kanssa City, Mo., July 6. Miss Cornelia Seelye, chairman of the Red Cross Nursing Service of Kansas City, Mo., received instructions from Red Cross headquarters at Washington Monday to enroll Negro nurses. Up to last night five Negro nurses at the Old City Hospital had made application for enrollment. There are about fifteen Negro nurses in the city, all of whom have expressed themselves etaoiScE have expressed their intention of enrolling with the Red Cross, it is said. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. This church, as usual, had a very large congregation, and the pastor, Rev. D. A. Holmes, at 11 a.m. preached on "Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Many heard the Word, and New Pile-Driving By Colored (From Hog Island News.) A world's record for driving piles was made by Edward Burwell, a colored captain and his crew of eleven men of the Arthur McMullen Contracting Company, when on Wednesday, June 12, they drove two hundred and twenty sixty-five-foot piles in nine hours and five minutes. By this wonderful feat of pile driving Burwell and his crew beat the world's record of 165 miles held by Captain Bob Sutton, of the Raymond, Concrete Pile Company, made early in May. The total linear fet driven by Captain Burwell was 14,300. The latest world's record was made by Group No. 5, Shipway 46, Captain Burwell and his crew used a Vulcan No. 1 hammer and skidding rolling machine when they made their wonderful record. At noon 126 piles wer driven and shortly after the crew returned from their luncheon a violent thunder storm broke loose. Every other workman in the yard ran for shelter, but Burwell and his crew, who stripped to the waist and worked for an hour in the heavy downpour. At CHAPLAIN AND FAMILY ARRIVED HERE FROM HONOLULU WEDNESDAY Chaplain George W. Prioleau and his wife and three children, Mary, Ethel Anna and George W., Jr., arrived at Mrs. Prioleau's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Stafford, 405 State avenue Wednesday evening on a two-months' leave. All are looking one. Chaplain Prioleau has the distinction of being the only colored army chaplain with the rank of major. He is with the crack 25th regiment, stationed at Schofield Barracks, twenty-six miles from Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. THE STATE GUARDS AT FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. The first Fourth of July celebration was indeed a gala day of patriotism, beauty and mirth. About CHAS. P. WI Present The Inv Concert co Featur JAS, JOHNSON AND THE WORLD'S BLU say it was a very deep and interesting sermon. The Sunday school had a large attendance and the church choir has some new members and with the pipe organ, makes more effective music. The B. Y. P. U., under the Rev. A. Roys.on, is doing well. At the evening service, the pastor preached another glowing sermon, and several joined the church. They also, temporarily, closed a special financial effort, which, although they had no entertainments, no soliciting, and in two Sundays laid down over $1050. They reached a high pinnacle, as they always give more in ordinary collections than any church in the city. Next Sunday, Covenant and the Holy Sacrament is expected to be administered. All are invited to this Baptist Temple. Squire Lee and Mr. Comager, two of our well known and enterprising citizens, have formed a partnership in the real estate business, offices located at 514 Minesota avenue. 2:30 o'clock 170 piles had been driven and the standing record smashed. When the world's record mark was passed, the crew shouted in glee and although pretty well tired out, they started in again with renewed vigor. One after another the piles were driven into the earth, and as each pile was driven to its required length the little whistle on the engine tooted a cheery blast to the tired workers. The crew started in to drive piles at 7 o'clock and worked until noon, then half hour was taken for lunch. Just as they returned to their task after lunch the thunder storm marched and the men worked in the heavy downpour. An hour later the sun came out again, but an hour after this dark clouds appeared on the horizon and another storm broke loose. At 4:35 o'clock in the afternoon it was sound that all of the piling of the shipway had been driven, and as there were no more piles to be driven, work was stopped. The crew was surrounded and cheered and patted on the back. All the members of the crew were colored men. 150 guards met at the Metropolitan Hall on Ninth street, formed the grandest procession that has been seen here on this memorable day among our people. The men were led by Captain Dickerson, Captain Cespides and Lieutenants Boone and Napper in beautiful army maneuvers, and Rev. Major D. A. Holmes, mounted on a beautiful black steed, capped the climax of the procession. He, as general commander, was complimented on his looks and said to be as gallant and as good an equestrian as our great General Pershing. After the parade, the guards gave five or six thousand friends assembled at Heathwood Park, where the people enjoyed the finest picnic ever held here. Many noted persons spoke and the State Guard band rendered excellent music for the drill of Olathe Guards and others. The officers and State Guards deserve much credit for giving such a grand pleasant entertainment and clearing so much money. CITY NSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDA Footwear on First A. M. E. Goes Top" for Four T Dr.Griffin Termi First A. M. E. Goes "Over Top" for Four Thousand Dr.Griffin Terminates Rally some by applauding, others by the shedding of tears—it was a happy sight to look upon, and no one was happier than the pastor, who has labored so ardently night and day for the last four weeks. The rally was planned from the beginning fo rhtirty-six hundred dollars, but when the total amounts were reported for the day, it was found that, they had gone "Over the Top," and still coming in and by next Sunday, is expected to reach the four thousand mark. It may be said of this great rally that out of every thousand dollars, nine hundred of it came directly out of the pockets of colored people, thus teaching them a lesson to bear their own responsibilities. At 3:30 p. m., a patriotic mass meting was held, at which time Mr. McGuire, superintendent of the Armour Packing Plant, Judge U. S. Guyer, Hon. N. C. Crews, editor of The Kansas City Sun, and Bishop Parks spoke. It was a wonderful meeting. The Alabama quartet and a double quartet of the church furnished excellent music. The Rev. Dr. Bolden, pastor of the C. M. E. church, with his superb choir and his congregation, had full charge of the evening service. Dr. Bolden preached a sermon of great spiritual power. His members laid on the table for the rally the sum of $40.35. Our next week's issue will give a full report of the rally. Browne, Mr. Calhoun, H. Moberly and most all intelligent people admire her writings. She has taken the Chicago University extension course, and attended State Normal at Emporia. She has talents God gave her, and her greatest act was organizing the Neighborhood Bible Class and not allowing it to miss a meeting thus far, over two years. She was the first president of the City Federation of Art Clubs, and Adelphia Club, of which she was once a member, has conferred the honorary membership on her. She has also been given a silk Red Cross flag for her patriotism; and is the only colored person in Kansas Citr, Kansas, who has ever read a welcome address before 1,500 whites and twelve colored persons, members of the W. R. C. at the First Presbyterian church. She has been married twice and God blessed her with two good husbands, Mr. Albert Younger and Mr. Pleasant Matthews, both deceased; and although she has been beseiged with many fine suitors since then, she resolved not to ever marry again and has kept her word; and continues to work for God and for her race. She has raised more war money in a week than any colored woman in the city; and with the W. S. S. raised $642.21, cash in one day, and pledges over $4,500. She has been writing for The Advocate longer than anyone on the staff, and persons like Prof. French's wife, Rev. Adams' wife, Mrs. A. M. Browne by the thousands greatly admire her writings. She is also publicity committee for the Rev. D. A. Holmes and for the Chautauqua of Greater Kansas City, and is asked to be society editor on another paper and to write another poem for Governor Capper; also for Rev. C. G. Fishback of Illinois, and other noted men. She is a devout Christian and loves best to be reading or writing for God. Her widow's mite was an expensive plate glass double door to Metropolitan Circle. She has traveled to New York City, Niagara Falls, Saratoga Springs, in Canada, Washington, D. C., Buffalo, the Atlantic Ocean, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, Denver, The Royal Gorge of the Rockies, Pike's Peak, Leadville, Pueblo, etc. She has attended World's Fairs at Chicago, Omaha and St. Louis. Thus she has wide experience. She was invited by Rev. and Mrs. Maxwell White, at the great Congressional World's Convention, but declined. She is still active in church work and work for humanity. May she continue to the end is the wish of her friends all over the United States; ill Christ; her Redeemer, calls her from labor to reward. BISHOP PARKS DELIVERS A MASTERLY SERMON AT 11 A. M.—A BIG PATRIOTIC MASS MEETING AT 3 P. M.—DR. BOLDEN PREACHES ELOQUENT SERMON AT THE EVENING SERVICE—CHURCH PACKED FROM EARLY MORN TO LATE AT NIGHT. Sunday was the scene of one of the most gigantic financial rallys at First A. M. E. church that has ever occurred in a financial struggle in any church west of the Ozarks. It was the culmination of several momentous days of earnest endeavor by this church and pastor to raise thirty-six hundred dollars to pay off a mortgage. Long before the regular hour for service thre was a steady stream of members and friends pouring into the place of worship and was kept up all day until wate late at night. After listening to a most intellectual and soul-stiring sermon by that great giant and profound preacher, Bishop H. Blanton Parks, the pastor, J. F. Griffin, called for the three hundred units, which were divided into ten divisions, with a general in command of each division, and when the last division was brought to the firing line at the close of the day's meeting, the pastor, in his humorous way and a smile that is still there, announced to the hundreds of anxious souls "Oyer the Top." Great hall-jahhs went up with joy, some showing their gratefulness by amens. A WELL-KNOWN RACE WOMAN. (By Inez Davis.) Mrs. Margaret Calaway-Matthews graduated in 1887 from the Ingalls High school in Atchison, Kansas, and was the only colored in a class of 19. The same year she came to Kansas City, Kansas, and passed the rigid examination held then, and began to teach in Douglass district under Prof. J. J. Lewis. She taught successfully over 10 years until she married, nad for that reason is called the "Mother of Douglass school." She was always complimented for her ability to recite and get up real operas; and after maturity found her natural talent for writing poems. At the State Federation in Topeka, her poem received the first prize and is now the club women's state song. She has composed and read more poems that any one in the Missouri Valley. At the interstate in Kansas City, Kansas, December, 1917, the vast audience gave her an ovation on her ```markdown ``` poem, "The Dream of a Race," and professor and mean of the K. U. School of Fine Arts had his English class go over it and wrote the poetess a letter, saying she had a great promise for the future and that the subject matter is fine." She also has others commending her poems from Hon. Chas, Hughes, Governor Arthur Capper, Hon. Emmett Scott, Booker T. Washington, Prof. Lee, Rev.Bacote and many of the white people. Profs. Bowser, M. Collins, Andrew Wilson, T A. Reynolds, G. B. Buster, Misses Pendleton, Johnson and many other teachers, professional people and persons from all walks of life love her poetry.

It's not the number of words that you say, but how valuable the ones that you say. Don't stick a needle in a person and think they won't feel it. When a man thinks he is wise, then wake up and find so many things that he didn't know, it's just a dream. Some people have thoughts that are good and wholesome, if they would just loan them to someone else. Pain changes the color of a man's opinion. Man's mind is like that of belted machinery, when the belt slips off the mind ceases. There's nothing under the sun to exceed the birth rate of new farm ideas. Some people are always complaining, and yet won't consult a physician. The sun shines on everybody alike unless you are on the shady side of the house. There are apparently still some men in Kansas who are inclined to depreciate the intelligence of the Colored Man. The men who recently made a bid for prestige by turning a rally in the Iola colored church into a political meeting could have presented their appeal to a much larger audience by taking it to the First Methodist church or to some of the other churches which are attended by white men. No candidate would dare be so presumptious. Is it likely that a candidate who so openly underestimates the Colored Man's intelligence will receive his support in the primary election? Dr. J. S. Bass, author of the following article, is one of Allen county's most prominent colored citizens. His article reflects the sentimnet of practically all self-respecting colored men. To the Iola Register: Please allow space for a few words about the rally at the First A. M. E. church. The church was in need of about $300 for repairs and other indebtedness. There was a large crowd all day and evening and many visitors from neighboring towns. Rev. Watson, pastor of the colored church, has a big heart and a great zeal for church work. He has accomplished much good here. The church is now out of debt. He and his family are highly respected by the people of Iola. But he allowed the political fixer, the Hon. Thomas Sneed of Topeka, to take advantage of the rally for the day and turned it into a political rally for Governor Capper on a day which has been dedicated by the church for the worship of God. The church was desecrated and the Lord's Day was profaned. It was done by deception of those who concocted the plan of advertising that Gov. Caper would be here on the day of the rally when Thomas Sneed and others knew at the time that Governor, Capper would not be here. Was the governor a party to the plan, or did he know that the Hon. Sneed was using his name to deceive the people to advance his cause as a candidate for the U. S. Senate? We nope not. Thomas was very sad when he found that his speaker did not come at the fixed time. PUB. NO.52. 652 Minn. Some people are like a drifting log, liable to drift most anywhere. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR We are sorry, indeed, that conditions are such that we had to call off our meeting. Let us not cease in our efforts to build up the work in our various charges. These are times that test leadership. Let each president be equal to the occasion. Yours for service, G. A. GREGG, President. W. S. S. ECHOES. Miss Ella Neely was patriotic and also responded as a cashier for the W. S. S. captain, but a mistake was made at the C. of C. in the number of the 22nd precinct, and she did not get to work. Miss Posey assisted Miss Myrtle Oliver in precinct 21. Mrs. Brannan has arrived from Texas, and resides with her husband, on Everett avenue. Do This to Gettes? McNeal came in late and Hon. Sneed explained his lateness. This statement was true, but when he told me that Governor Caper was tied up on the road, but would be here, that was not the truth. O what deceivers some mortals are. The Hon. McNeal made a fine talk and he well entertained his hearers. He did not speak of Governor Caper as a candidate, but he is a fine politician and I know how to get in his work by using such language as will please the factions he wishes to capture. But we could read between the lines and plainly see that he was brought here by the clique. The next white man's speech was short in time but long in praise of the good deeds of Governor Capper. I did not hear the talk of Mr. Hawks but I am informed that he read from chapters in Isaiah and made a good talk. He may be a Christian man but he was with the fixer and the clique that came to Iola and violated the Sabbath day and helped to desecrate the church by turning the church rally into a political rally. I did not hear the talk of Lieut. Beets but he told me that Governor Capper asked him to come on the 12th to the thralm. I did hear the Hon. T. Sneed's talk, but he told me that tGovernor Capper sent him to the rally and I informed him that this talk was advising the people to vote for Governor Capper and Mr. Hawks. Thomas is a fixer and he and his clique succeeded in making the church rally a political rally. The love of money is the root of all evil. Did the pastor, officers and members after allowing the church to be disgraced as it was, realize $15 out of Governor Capper and his representatives? We did wrong in permitting these things in the church which should be used only as a place to promote the cause of righteousness—where the gospel only should be preached. Now, in conclusion, let me ask the pastor, officers and members to watch and see to it that no clique in the future, regardless of whose name they come in, will be allowed against to disgrace our church by converting our church rally into a political rally. Respectfully, (Adv.) DR./J. S. BASS. tory ples RICES RANGE FROM FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1918. HON. U. S. GUYER. Judge Guyer is one of the best known men in Kansas. His reputation as an orator brings him requests for his services as a speaker from many states. He is one of the best informed men relative to the war, its history and issues in the country and presents the facts in a most logical and attractive manner. He stands squarely with the administration, in its prosecution of the war to a finish, that will bring everlasting peace and will insure freedom to the peoples of the world, for all time, without the threatening menace of ambitions and unscrupulous militarism. With Judge Guyer in congress, this district would have a representative of which the district and state would be justly proud. He is fearless and clean and as an indication as to how he stands with his neighbors, he carried this county at the last congressional primary by 1,139 votes, with his opponent, also a citizen of this city and polling the entire vote of his friends. That speaks volumes in behalf of Judge Guyer, not only as a strong candidate, but as a testimony from his neighbors, who know him best. Judge Guyer is country bred, as are so many of our most able statesmen, having been brought up on a farm and spent several years in the western part of the state battling with the environments of a frontier life. He understands the wants and trials of the poor man and in his position as Mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, proved his friendship for the old soldier and the colored race. Our people recognize him as their friend, ever 10 M. JUDGE U. S. GUYER Candidate for Congress, Second District. ready and vigorously defending their rights and in his administration as Mayor, our people found him to be a true friend in the distribution of patronage and providing for their welfare. As a brief indication of how he is regarded by the press of the state, a few extracts selected from many will indicate. The following will be of interest to those who may desire to ascertain how Judge Guyer stands with the newspaers of the state and elsewhere: tory glow with his address on " and Woman's Park Fort Scott papers man's Current Te Judge Guyer is thoroughly equi and if nominated by an overwhelm is deservedly po as his extensive cates, and his b tions which he his The following "Judge U. S. Guyer certainly made a sacrifice hit when he did not contest the congressional nomination and permitted Col. E. C. Little to take it without objection. There were 21,000 votes cast for congressman in the district, and in all these votes the winner had only one more vote than the loser. Judge Guyer has proved himself to be a great big, liberal, unselfish man."—Lawrence Gazette, August 23, 1916. "It was the unanimous sentiment of those inattendance—the largest audience at any of the commencement week events—that this address by a Leander Clark graduate was one of the very best that has been given in Toledo on the war."—Toledo (Iowa) Chronicle, June 6, 1918. "Fine and strong and clean."—Emporia Gazette. "Personally he is a man who has the ability and the character to make the district a great representative."—Topeka Capital.

"An eloquent and forceful speaker and has had valuable experience. This district would honor itself in the nomination and election of Mr. Guyer."—Miami Republican. "Judge Guyer was mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, when a thirty-year franchise of a light company was applied for. He carried the fight to the people and blocked the franchise grab and the way was paved for the municipal light plant."—The Elsmere Leader. "As mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, U. S. Guyer cleaned out the joints and gambling dens and by so doing naturally incurred the enmity of the brewery interests and the tough element."—Parker Message. "Judge U. S. Guyer of Kansas City, Kansas, on last Friday evening at the Y. M. C. A. hall of this city, gave one of the most eloquent and forcible addresses it has even been our privilege to listen to. In spite of the downpour of rain the hall was filled with one of the most enthusiastic and appreciative audiences that ever faced a speaker. It is no exaggeration to say that never before in the history of this city was an audience so thoroughly stirred by an address as upon this occasion."—Religious Telescope, Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 6th, 1907. At Masonic Hall he laid wide open the kaiser's persistency for world domination. At the Masonic banquet Wednesday night Hon. U. S. Guyer made a wonderful speech on the present war. —Fort Scott Tribune, Oct. 10, 1917. At the Women's Current Topic Club, Hon. U. S. Guyer of Kansas City, Kansas, made the pages of his- 1 tory glow with life and interest in his address on "The War for Liberty and Woman's Part in It."—Report in Fort Scott papers of meeting of Woman's Current Topic Club. Judge Guyer is rich in scholarship, thoroughly equipped in experiences and if nominated he will be elected by an overwhelming majority, as he is deservedly popular in all parties, as his extensive law practice indicates, and his big vote for all positions which he has sought illustrates. The following from "Who's Who in America for 1916 and 1917," indicates some of his scholarly attainments and varied experiences. The extract from this poular and discriminatig publication, which is not given to bestowing undeserved compliments, is suggestive of the ability and character of the well known Kansas orator, Christian gentleman and upright statesman. The brief extract is as follows: "Ulysses Samuel/Guyer, lawyer, born on a farm in Illinois. Educated at Lane University, Leompton, Kansas; Southwestern Business College, Wichita, Kansas; Leander Clark College, Toledo, Iowa; Kansas University, Lawrence, Kansas; Kansas City School of Law, Kansas City. Principal St. John High School, St. John, Kansas, from 1897 to 1901. Elected judge of city court of Kansas City, Kansas, in 1907. Elected Mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, in 1909." The following from the Edgerton Journal very clearly sets forth the prevailing sentiment in the country, relative to Judge Guyer's qualifications and strength. The Journal says: "In another part of this paper will be found the announcement of U. S. Guyer for congress. In 1916 Mr. Guyer lost by one vote but, did not contest and supported the winning opponent loyally. In the primary that year he carried Wyandotte county, where both candidates lived by" the THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE decisive majority of 1,139. Mr. Guyer is now making a canvass of the district when he is not speaking for the various war activities of the government. He has spoken in five states on the war and goes wherever called to speak helping to mobilize public sentiment behind the war and its prosecution. He does not believe there will be any peace in the world until the Hohenzollern dynasty is beaten and humbled till it begs for mercy. If nominated and elected he pledges to devote his entire energy without partisan bias to helping bring a victorious decision to the war and with it a lasting peace and then to the development and conservation of the material and moral welfare of the nation.[27] H. A. KENNEY. H. A. Kenney, who lives at 1961 North Thirty-third street, Kansas City, Kansas, is a candidate for sheriff, subject to the decision of the Republicans at the August primary. Mr. Kenney is a working Republican, has been found in the ranks for years, serving the interests of the party and working for the recognition of others. He has never asked for anythng for himself until now, he desires the nomination for Sheriff. Personally, Mr. Kenney is an upright Christian gentleman, ever battling for the better things in life, striving to uplift the country in civil righteousness. His work in connection with public welfare has been pronounced and his efforts crowned with success. He is a patriot of unquestioned standing. His father is a family of fighting stock, being a son of a veteran; his father was in the Union service for four years with the conquering hosts of Grant from the beginning of that chieftain's service to the last; was captain of a colored company which rendered valient service for the Union cause. He has a son with the aviation department and another a lieutenant in the artillery in the trenches in France. He also has two sons-in-law in the service of their country. He will prove to be a very strong candidate with elements, if he receives the nomination. His record as railway engineer is an enviable one and he enjoys the hearty support of the labor veto. He has been a traveling salesman for fifteen years and has extensive acquaintance all over the county and state. He has lived in the county for years and has been identified with all the interests of the county and community for an extended period, always found in the thickest of the political fray. If nominated and elected he will make an excellent officer fearless; clean and determined; enforcing all the laws with which his office is concerned. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE.

Governor Morgan is one of the best known men in the country. He is a Republican and editor of the Hutchinson News, one of the strongest newspapers in the west. His experience in both legislative and executive matters is extensive, having been a member of the house of representatives from his district for a number of terms and his ability was recognized as a most thorough statesman. He has served two terms as Lieutenant Governor, in which position he is considered one of the strongest men who ever occupied that office. His fairness in his rulings in presiding over the deliberations of the senate made him very poular with all parties. He early espoused the cause of women suffrage in this state and did great work for the amendment. He is deservedly poular among the women of the state. In short, Governor Morgan is a strong man. His extensive travel abroad, his ripe scholarship, his varied experience in public service, all contribute to the excellent equipment of Governor Morgan.

In the District Court of Wyandotte County; Kansas G. P. McNair, Plaintiff, vs. George G. Macartney, if living, and if dead, then the unknown heirs, executors, trustees, administrators and assigns of said George G. Macartney, Thomas Macartney, if living, and if dead, then the unknown heirs executors, trustees, administrators and assigns of said Thomas Macartney, the unknown widow of said Thomas Macartney, if any, and the unknown heirs, executors, trustees, administrators and assigns of said widow, if any, defendants. To the above named defendants, and to each, every and all of them, and all such persons as are mentioned and described as such defendants, above herein, you and each of you, are hereby notified that you have been sued in the above named court. by the above named plaintiff, and that unless you appear and answer on or before the 10th day of August, 1918, the petition filed will be presented, to the court, and evidence will be adduced, upon which a judgment will be rendered, the nature of which will be a Decree, forever barring you and each of you, and all of you, from any claim, right, title or interest in or to the following described real property, to-wit: Lots Fifteen and Sixteen, in Block Fifty-five in the former City of Wyandotte, now a part of Kansas City, in Wyandotte County, Kansas. And declaring the plaintiff to be the owner in fee simple of said property, and forever quieting his title to the same, and removing any and all cloud, or clouds upon the same, arising by reason of any claim by any, or all of the said defendants, and for RIGHTS, of their Race,—its "er-nuff ter make you feel "Bran-dilloquent." It was indeed something pleasing to note,—such a long list of names of men and women,—who have taken the timb to THINK, of their duty to their fellow man. And that has been the contention;—all along the line of reason: to-write.—"That we should do the SIMPLE act of THINKING," of, and for our own and Racial welfare. For we had as well come to it at once, as to "Beat around the bush" The truth is, that the Active Principle of the relation and operation between races, is selfishness and hate; while the professed one is that of Civility and Love. In fact, such has ben the underlying principle of Modern Civilization, which has flourished since the Decline of the Roman Empire. Indeed, Nations have prospered, according to the popular standard; in the direct proportion, that they have been Selfish and Exclusive, and inclined to over-reach and exploit other and weaker races. That feature of human nature has wrought heavily upon us, as a portion of a powerful Nation. And it is such feature, that has brought about the necessity of such a noble band. Then,Let's really be wise;and cease longer to defer the putting into DAILY practice, every principle for which the Society, to which this Band belongs, stands. Let's become Highly Sensible of our own welfare, and cease to lend our EFFORTS, our ENERGY, our APPRECIATION, and all that goes to make a people strong and worthy; to those who do the very OPPOSITE, for us; i.e., Let's move "Along the Line of Reason."
