Dear Bir:-
Please give me a little space in your
splendid weekly paper to say a few
words about the common things we see
daily. Subject:Jealousy in the Colored
j Race evaded; Progressive Business
home and abroad.
1 Avoid jealousx; let there be no room
in 1 our house fur Jealousy— either to
sit or stand. It is a leperous abomina
tion. Your brother’a or sister’s success
jis your success, his victories will be
your victories. While Moses, the broth
er, led the vocal music after the cross
ing of the Red Sea, Miriam, the sister,
with two glistening sheets of brass up
lifted and glistening in the sun, led the
instrumental music, clapping the cym
bals ’til the last frighted neigh of pur
suing Calvary horse was smothered ia
