-- - t A DAY TO HE OBSERVED. E DESIRE frankly to confess that we do not know why Aug ust 4 is so generally observed as Emancipation Day in so many sections of the United States. But it is. Just why we do not know. Lincoln read his proclamation to his cabinet July 19, 1862, and issued it September 22 of the same year. It became effective January 1, 1863. England emanci pated her slaves in the West Indies, August 1, 1858, and so quite generally throughout the British possessions this is the day observed. But somehow August 4 has come to be observed In many states in the Union as Emanci pation Day. Be that as it may. it is quite fitting that some day should be kept in mem ory of this great event. It is quite fitting that one should pause to take note of the progress made during the now more than fifty years of freedom into which more than|4.000,000 of our race were ushered by the official man date of Abraham Lincoln. , As one reviews the lights and shad ows of the past fifty-odd years through which we have passed there are just grounds for rejoicing. True, we have not come into the full enjoyment of ail the privileges which should be ours by right of our citizenship. Many limitations still exist, but the steady progress and advance which have been made furnish grounds for thanks giving, hope and encouragement. We do not believe one can read this A issue, with its very meagre hint, by no means an adequate record, of the ad vancement made by our people since Emancipation, without a feeling of profound gratitude to the Giver of every good and perfect gift, that He has wrought such wonderful things for us. Nor can we fail to be moved with the desire and determination to do our utmost to advance to a higher plane of citizenship. We have made wonderful progress in fifty years of physical freedom considering the han dicap of slavery which does such vio lence to personality and leaves it such an entail of weaknesses, faults and limitations. We have much to over come yet. We have a long way to go: but the important fact is that we are headed in the right direction and mov ing onward. The past points not backward but forward. With grat • ude to God for all His past favors, and with faith in Him, in mankind and ourselves, let- us take courage and press forward to the land of larget op portunity which lies before us in this goodly land to which our forefathers were brought in chains 300 years ago, and those manacles removed a little over fifty years ago, when the stroke of justice fell upon the gyves that bound us.
