At Mil'er'f Chapel A. M. E. Church, New berry; South Carolina. Fellow citizens, ladies and gen' tlemon, I eome before you with 8 [ mired mind and hetrt. First: It gives me joy and de li^h* t0 see these mrny present on 1 such an important occasion,, the j i celebration of Emancipation Day. ' On the other hand, I I'm filed 1 with awe, to aee and to think of ? o meny that should be here and : _ are not. And think of so many -t not appreciating what God his^ done tor them, and will not come out once a year and give God the thanks for our ptrlial freedom that Emancipation gave us. Civilized Nations There is no civilized natiorf in for tnem, so important an event as Emancipation, but would stop once u year and givfe God and the men through which God worked to oring it aoout, THANKS. They1 hallow their names. Then why snoulu the Negro sol soon forget God's grer.t r.tercy andl help rendered them in a civic way, most especially the southern Ne. grp. Tjiod anil the abolitionist should never be forgotten. Fourth' Day Of July The fourth dty of July was a dopted over one hundred and sixty ug0 by our nation a? Inde^ pendejice Day. At that time the Negro was in :he heart of slavery, an ! you j :.ii know it did rot mean a thing to the Negro. It wc.q about bO years ; before we were declared Jrce. -Yet, J >ome deccitlul Negroes , in myi judgement show more apprecit _ ! iion for that cay, than to our day - -Emancipation. Some Negroes say that we. ought to forget-that our race wis ~ver in slavery, anu that our I children should .not know it. I think that that is more deceit! i imn rpuiiiv. ti vine to becOnio pop ular with other groups. Because oome educitc^ Negroes and othei little one3 st y so. They need to be pittied by all civilized persons ^nd races. Because they are a_ ^arnst the principles of good gov ernment, and would not do to .1USC. Flipnds and fellow citizens is lot that doctrine i,nd teaching ab iUid? Would not they be better jif in he&ven than to stay here and teach and preach such foolish -nd ceceiving uoctrine? it is a_ gt inst the principles of civilizt. tion. I thinK that they n.ve more ;.ense but are trying to fool the Southern white man. I again say ueceit! White folk are not fools. ' no re is not a civilized white man in the civilized world thrt would wvlievy u Negro of that type and uia fi-iiat him if j.hev want "OMiu ,IVW v'%"wv ? <* ad one to trust under serious cir. ..instances or ^conditions. Any man or woman tnat hasn't ace pride and wiuitts to be'so for jetful of what God has done for nim, will not do to tiust in time ol ..rr, when the nation needs noth .ng but the true and trusty. Ar^person" against ficedonr and" the cause is i: traitor to their race ,.n<l government. How can God o.ing civic blessings upon the Ne gr0 or any other race, when they tail to thank him and the men for hat lie did for them? There is no time in history where God has especially blessed my person, race nati? n that aid not w;nt it, and ioi got what He had done for them. They may have received?tumpor-.? ury blessings of man or their own i.angement, but the after effect wcs destructive. The Israelites' prosperity Hvas reversed to destruction and great punishment e\erytime they forgot and-tailed to thank hint for what He did for them. Ail laces and nniiorts hrve im_ o.tant days that they celebrate and corhemorete in giving thanks .0 God lor some great event thr.t ni ppcned to or far them. . Then' why?should?the?Negro forget a? on? Friends and fellow citizens I 1,1 that ehe leadership of oui race, where the people have lost 11-ere st in Lmancipation Day( is argely responsible. They show ouch little interest end sometime .one at -1.1. When I say leaders, I mean all types of leaders, preach rs, teachers, lawyers, doctors, and til others. Most leaders are getting where -hey do not wmt to lead out and .ake.part in nothing that they c.o IXV/V Otc OWlUt WUUitilQ V* ?o them now. They lose sight of i ace pride and-tfue leadership rnd ire largely letting the race go to a business tnd thankful hell. We cannot blame the other rrce or making the Negro schools o." jen on Emancipation Day because ur leaders do not care, or show my interest therein. Woe unto a rrce that its leaders teach nothing but the pearly gates and only that -hen. the dollar is coming now, and fail to tetch and practice the -ce on how to r ttain to that gate y work, action and thankiulness to God and mm. My advice is that we should never forget Emancipation Day nn stop. andL-grge-'thahks once a jlear. Why other rices pay so little at i nfion to Emancipation Day is because the Negro manifests such til.- interest' in it. They see that n*.sv *- ~ r,^ 4-V?,-vtr n.... wc aic c- uvjuc uu auigiri, au witjr aif oing many things to help us for get it. You cannot bk me the sou them white man because it did not mean anything to him. After all l means the same thing to him. of t the fourth day of July means to us. We rfl should be glad that they are on the statute books of nation. As we toast of civi lizition, and democracy, and that r 11 men are torn equal. So let U3 < \ y homage to both, and most es vcialls Emancipation Day. I hank you!?H. B. 'Rikard. Pres. XM AS EXERCISE A\T) TRF.K ^ Orangelfurg".?
