? ' ' -V Nil ij "The Old Gray" | ; By ? !! Rev. E. Thilip Elli? ? Christmas Seal Drive Charleston is certainly organiz ?<>H fnr tVi?? SpoI Sn|i"i this year. Dr. C.. S. Ledbefter, chairman of the' colored population of the city is indeed the ri.eht man for the position and we mean to do our full share under his wise leadership. Individuals and churches are disposing of the seals by the thousands and our purpose is to make this year our high mark. Dr Ledbetter's committee seem to be in perfect accord with him. We wish for South Carolina just what Charleston is doing. For we feel that with all we have done scarcely begun to do what they should in purchasing Xrnas seals This money saves Hundreds o f lives from tuberculosis among our people. The white people who fur nish most of the money even for Negroes have been very kind irT consideration of our acial. group. So let the Negroes buy seals this year as never before as -an cxpres sion of our appdciation to the white people for what they have done to help us. To be continued. Itcligi us Census With Dr. It. E. 43-rogdon chairL man of the religious census and 7 the Rev. J. Fk' Henderson secretary, the colored people of Char-' leston did the greatest missionary work last Sunday^ in the history of that Metropolitan City. Every ward here was canvassed for the purp se of getting those who have no church home to mke. a choice and it was a glorious sight to behold the hundreds of lay workers ehgagod in the work. We believe God 'smiled 01; the work accomplished .in Charleston b y col red Christians of all denominations last Sunday. When the drive is completed it is our opinion that hundreds wlL be brought to the fold of God.' We sometime make a. serious mistake in saying the laity will not work on a program for soul saving. But if they are given a chance in all cities and rural districts as in Charleston, they will rended the same sen-ice.
