In F.m anpinatlftti ArlHri
The observance of tht Emancipation
by tha citizens of Cbtr

of the Ministerial Alliance. Not.
withstanding the very tnclemert
weather a large representative aud
ience filled the Little Rock Zior
church of which Rev. H. E.: Wilson
is pastor, whtre the exercise*
were held.
Mrs. H. L. McCrorey of Johusojp
C. Smith university was jh>
guest sperker. She initiated the
New Year hy delivering a most
inspiring, and challenging rrves
saga.
In ber usutJ impressive and.
persuasive winner Mrs, McCro.
,ev reviewed in retrospect the nr?r
velous degree of progress the Negro
ha? made, exhorted Negroe*
then chellenged the Negroes of the
to be proud of their history, and
present Jay to build npon the
foundation layed by their predecessors
a grand and noble rtce
She reminded her audience that
it was not through gaining of tri
erial goods clone, nor was If
through education alone, <s important
as these are, that hss en.
abled the Negro to riae out of the
depth of debauchery and insignicanee
into which slrvery east him
but it is beet use the Negro has
possessed a grip on things which
bsve deep spiritual significance,? >
the Negro has had a grip on God,
that he has been able to mrke un
rivaii?a progress. in order that
we mey be able to continue to
carry on in the future we must
not loee our grip on these high
and noble .*pecta of life. '
Mrs. McCrorey traced the rise
r-F the Negro family from a time
when only e. few children were hon
orably born and honorably rear-.
ed to the present time when, as a'
rule, compt ratively few children
;?re dishonorably born,, and that!
the Negro family is now en institution
for th# honor of which
thousands of Negro men would
gladly' give their lives today.
Mra. McCrorey refered to the
much talked about New Freedom
of the preaeftt day, and referred to
the duties tnd redsponslblllties
which accompany ,or flow therefrom.
She referred to the oppor-!
tunity of voting In our local end
nrtional elections as "our intelli I
gent and sacred duty", and stated
that it is the sacred duty of every
red blooded Negro citizen to
do his bit to bring c bout a gov I
i emment in which justice and
eoulty ar* me'ed out, and law abiding
citizens ere protected and
| lawlessness abolished.
