Out of One Blood God Made All Nations of Men As Christmas will have come and gone before our next issue, we take this opportunity to extend to our subscribers, advertisers, readers, well-wishers and friends a very hearty and sincere MERRY CHRISTMAS. As the season of good-will and cheer approaches we become more conscious of the many things for which we should be thankful and the many obligations under which we are to those who have given us their support during the year about to pass into Eternity. And while it takes money to run a newspaper and it has not always been supplied us in such amounts as our needs demand, yet we are not unmindful nor unappreciative of that other form of support— His Excellency GOV.

Fair and Impartial. the good will and encouragement of the public—which is equally as necessary for the successfully publication of any newspaper. This we have had in most generous quantities and from the public generally. We therefore entertain the wish and express the hope that this happy season may find you possessed of many of the comforts and enjoyments of the yule-tide season and not without those things necessary to a comfortable and enjoyable Christmas; that you may continue in health and strength for many years to come with the power unimpaired to enjoy yourselves.

For a number of years the Voorhees Institute has served as a distributing station for books, magazines, or any other kind of periodicals, cards, packages. and fruits, that have come to us from friends in different parts of the country for the poor, yet worthy Negro children upon our campus and ist the rural sections of our community. Except for this means, a large number of children both at the school and in the counties adja- cent to the school, will have no way of being reminded of the date commemorating the birth of the Savior, the Christ. In past years a very large number of un- fortunate children have been told through this agency for the first time the significance of Christmas. Not only has this been true of children, but we have found it true in many cases with the adults who live in the parts of the rural country beyond the reach of educational influences. This does not describe by any means all of the unfortunate children here at Voorhees or in the rural districts. We have students upon our campus who will only be reminded of the oc- easion which brought the wise men from the East by reason of seeing others enter into the joy- ous festivities of the Yuletide season — who themselves and whose parents are so impover- lished that they wilf not be able in any measure to share in these pleasures of the season’s greet- ings. * It is for the classes above re- ferred to, we are making this ur- gent appeal to our friends and sympathizers, We hope many of the readers of this appeal will use us as a clearing house in reaching these unfortunate children. Through you this institution has been a blessing in: the past in this re- gard, and we sincerely hope this year will not prove an exception. We very much hope all will bear in mind that the greatest good accomplished in this effort does not come from giving a few children Christmas gifts in dif- ferent forms, but the calling the attention of the young to the birth of the Savior of men, through Christmas tokens, quickens a spirit of — spiritual gratitude and stimulates an abid- ing interest in the Savior’s mis- sion upon the earth which prom- ises to live in the hearts of these people permanently. _ With the two above conditions in mind, we make this our annual appeal to all ‘who would like to live in a house by the side of the road where the race of men go by.” (Signed JESSE 0.

Miss Sarah Woods has return- ed home from a North and West- ern tour and is rendering valu- able assistance in the Soeial Cen- ter work.

Walden is untiring in his endeavours to rendex and secure the best service of others for the Soldiers. Last Sunday he seeur- ed the services of some of the best speakers. At 10 a. m. officers and soldiers as usual had gather- ed into the Auditorium of the Y. to hear a very able speaker, the Rey. W. T. Boone, who preached an instructive sermon on ‘*The Ability of a Good Soldier to en- dure Hardships.”’ In response to his appeal for all who desired prayer a captain and tive privates rose to their feet. At 2 p.m. a large number of Sunday School soldiers gathered for | Sunday School at which time Seeretary Rutger from Y. No. — gave an excellent talk on ‘The pre-emin- ence of Jesus.’” And at 7 p.m. Chaplain Lee of the 35th Engin- cers preached to an audience of more than three hundred. His sermon was not only inspiring but & master piece of oratory. All present enjoyed it.

A Public Statement and Appeal to Colored Americans. The Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League has issued the following statement and appeal to the Colored race on the hanging of the thirteen Colored Soldiers for the rioting at Houston, Texas. "The deeper signifance of the unfortunate shooting-up riot by Colored soldiers of the 24th U. S. Infantry at Houston, Texas, is an index of the intolerable Color prejudice and race persecution in the U. S., especially the South," was the public declaration of the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League on Sept. 4, 1917. Shocked by the hanging in especial disgrace of thirteen of these Colored soldiers, their bodies cast into unmarked graves, this League, speaking for the Colored millions thus wounded in spirit who are permitted only racial regiments and but four in the regular army, this league stands by that sentiment and others uttered at that public meeting, to wit, "If the unbearable provocation by white Southern police and civilians and the splendid record of these soldiers in noble, brave, self sacrificing loyalty and service to this Republic do not mitigate the severity of their punishment, then we can only honor the mas martyrs to mean American Color prejudice and enroll their names as heroes in the fight of Colored Americans for life, liberty and justice." This unrestrained severity in penalty, accompanied with degradation unnecessary and undeserved is but another instance of the utter indifference of this HER CHRISTMAS ALONE THE COST OF YOUR CHRISTMAS WOULD HAVE GIVEN MANY DAYS' LIFE TO ALL OF HER CHILDREN In War Countries MILLIONS of children are on the verge of starvation—hundreds of thousands are in rags, and naked.

For particu- lars, write Turner & Reuben BROKERS 319 N. Henry St. Madison national administration to the sensibilities and self-respect of the millions of Colored Americans, even now that they are drafted to fight for the country in a war for "World Democracy." With no punishment for those who assaulted and terrorized these soldiers, with not only no punishment for lynchers of Colored citizens and but light sentences for confessed murderers in the massacre of men and women, but not even a word from the President against the burning alive of our people, the treatment of the dead bodies of these brave Colored soldiers becomes an outrage upon the Colored American people. We call upon President Wilson to restore the bodies to their relatives if they can be found. The League urges upon Colored Americans: First, That there be held on Sunday, Dec. 23, 1917, in every Colored Church, funeral services for these soldiers of the 24th who went to their death singing hymns. Second, That on New Year's Day, 1918, our annual 'Liberty Day', the Colored citizens in all large communities march in an 'In Memoriam Silent Protest Parade'. Third, That every adult in the fifteen millions of our people wear a black badge for thirty days in sorrow for the death of those martyrs to Color prejudice in the land of their birth.

A PRAYER In future years, when men shall tell Of valiant deeds 'mid stress and fire; How they swept on, when e- rades fell That Freedom's name might still inspire. When Home-ward they shall march again From hard-fought field, and from the sea. And Music swells a grander strain— O God, grant Thou this boon to me: That I may join in that high speech. Telling the wonders of the fight; How that I too, did help to teach That Truth must triumph over Might. On that great day point me a place Among the heroes of the line. That I may bring my waiting race Bright jewels, on each brow to shine. Unfettered, and a man at last. Grant me to walk amid the throng. Unburdened by a shame-filled past. To sing the new-writ freedom song. Let those who hear my story told, And see the scars—the denied blade. Know that the hated things of old Will rise no more to make afraid. Let Prejudice, and Greed, and all The blight of hope. I've known before. Be banished with a Despot's fall— Let Valor find an Open Door. God give me power to do my part, Help me perform the deathless deed. Gird me with strength, set firm my heart In this dread hour the call to heed. And if I be not there to tread The Victor's way with glory drest. Somewhere among the silent dead Where raged the battle, let me rest! —R. C. Jamison in K. C. Sun BLADELETS Very many thanks. Be willing to accept nothing shorter than a man's right. Vagrancy is the all-embracing refuge of a policeman in doubt. In spite of her shortcomings, this is the only country we know. "Wine, Women and Song" will "get" any fellow who dallies with them long. If your business is blacking boots, black them better than the other fellow. The sum total of some men's patriotism is in the little button they wear. Let them lose that and their patriotism is lost. "How easy it is to hate a man you have wronged", opines the Milwaukee News. Perhaps that accounts for the southern white man's hatred of the Negro. If we cheerfully support our common country in this greatest war of all ages, we may hope to participate in the rewards which justly follow upon services well rendered. It is no small matter to give up a son or husband to this war's demands, and the women who do so cheerfully are no less of heroic mold than the men who lead the warring hosts. THE CAPITAL TIMES More than a week has elapsed since the issue of the initial number of the Capital Times, and we note no effect upon the circulation of the Blade. With pleasure we welcome it to the charmed circle of newspapers at the Capital. The men behind it are by no means novices and they fully realize the hard sledding that is before them—sledding that will be made more difficult by obstacles thrown in their way. Remember, gentlemen, the top rungs of the ladder are less crowded than the bottom ones; some never reach the top, all at some time are at the bottom. Aim to be the best there is, deal fairly with public questions, how to the line and let the chips fly as they may strive to be right rather than popular, and you will deserve to survive and will prevail. Here's, wishing your success in your undertaking. SCISSORED THOUGHTS Ailanta Independent—Now, if the white man wants to stop migration to the North and save for the South its best laboring and producing class of people, it will increase the educational advantages by cutting out the inequitable and inexeusable distribution of the public school funds. The Negro is a useful factor in the industrial and economical development of the state, and he is entitled to fair play in the distribution of public funds, and any division of any public fund that does not recognize the worth and value of the Negro as an economic factor, is criminal and ought not to exist. Milwaukee Daily News—There is a superstition that American mob violence is in some way a different thing from the mob violence of other countries. The Turks kill the Armenian "infidels"; the Russians killed the Jews because "they killed Christ"; the Germans kill the Belgians who resist invasion; African cannibals kill and eat their enemies; degenerate Americans kill negroes. In every case the real reason is the same. People who are sufficiently barbarous never see any objection to killing anybody they do not like. Kansas City Sun — Now that the "Dear Ole Southern Mammy" is dead, peace to her loving memory, let the adoring white "chillin" whom she nursed and loved show their continued affection by a sympathetic and helpful attitude toward "Ole Mammy's" children and grand children. Help make a way for these to live decently, to maintain their moral dignity and self-respect. Let them have the same chance in life that has been accorded to you through the unrequited labors and trials of poor "Ole Mammy." The (Austin) Herald — Better be poor, honest, and be able to sleep well at night than to be rich, dishonest, and troubled with nightmares. Money is not the thing that makes happiness. If you would be sure enough happy, line up with God. It is an humble course to pursue, but smiles will play upon your face like diapons upon the brow of a peerless beauty if you'll wall' the narrow way. American Baptist — As the Christion grows old, as he draws toward the close of his long life, he is less and less inclined to talk about "salvation by character." He becomes incarcerally conscious of his sins. He recognizes the defects of his affection, the pettiness of his service and all the soil and raggedness of his own righteousness. He feels as he could not feel in his youth the need of something that is higher than himself on which to take his stand. And then he finds in Jesus what he needs, the shadow of a Great Rock in a weary land. Except for the cross, old age would be a horror to the most godly. In the love, the life, the death of his Redeemer, the Bible Christian finds a hiding-place, a strong tower, a covert from the wind, and everlasting peace. Greenville (S. C.) News. — The course of the Negro race has been highly creditable in this war. Upon barren soil fell the seeds of sedition and insurrection disseminated by German agents and pro-German newspapers in an attempt to incite the Negroes to uprising against the United States. So far as we have observed, Negro leaders have been conspicuously free from treasonable utterances. Drafted Negroes have gone to the front as cheerfully as any other set of men and, if history repeats itself, they will fight with signal bravery. The patriotism of these people will not be forgotten and should ever be kept in mind and taken into account for full credit in the adjustment of racial problems. The (Austin) Herald — The Negro has the same right to go North or to any other section of this country, singly or collectively, just as other people and races do, whenever he chooses. His first duty is to obey the laws and attend to his own business wherever he may go. People come from across the ocean by the shiploads who can not speak one word of English and are received with open arms. Then why should we who speak the English language, reared in this country, pay our taxes, fight for the stars and stripes as others do, be looked upon as undesirables simply because we choose to change localities with the hope of bettering our conditions? Kansas City Sun—Let's help win the war. Let's be unselfishly patriotic. Let's hope. Loyal devotion to that which is true, right and just has never been RICHMOND PLANET We have no respect for a servile, cringing colored man. He is of more service to his people under the ground than he is on top of it. IF YOU FAIL TO GET THE BLADE REMEMBER YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS UNPAID. Jefferson Transfer Co. PHONE 7 Taxi.

Company D, 21st Engineers, Light Railways, attached to the 86th Division, under Major General Thomas H. Barry, must have been well versed in his nightly prayer, as evidenced by the following, reconstructed interpretation, he gives. Private Miller, probably found the exigencies of army life not in accord with the blessings asked in the old time bed-side prayer and believes he has hit upon a more satisfactory and conscience-easing prayer. It is said, he has a very popular expression of nightly reverence, as a large chorus joins him in his little chant, when tatto sounds. Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep; Grant no other soldier take My shoes and socks before I wake. Lord guard me in my sleep, And keep my bunk upon its feet; May the bunk not tear nor break And let me down before I wake. Keep me safely in thy sight And grant no fire drill tonight; And in the morning let me wake Breathing whiffs of sirloin steak. Lord protect me in my dreams And make this better than it Grant the time may swiftly fly When I myself may rest on high In a snowy feather bed. Where I long to rest my head. Far away from all these scenes, From the smell of hash and beans; Take me back into the land, Where they don't serub down with sand. Where no demon "Lake Shore" blows. And where the women wash the clothes. Lord Thou knowest all my woes, Feed me in my dyin' throes. Take me back and I'll promise thee To not leave home and cross the sea.
