TO THE DUSKY WARRIORS
O F T H E IT. S. A.
Shine on, ye stars of Ethiopia, til)
your brilliancy blazes a girdle around
the earth as bright as the noonday
sun, whose effulgence may be seen and
whose influence be felt from the icy
crags at the North Pole to the frozen
plains of the Antarctic.
My brothers, you are being weighed
in the balance. Never before has the
test been so severe or the scale so
gigantic. Much of the destiny of the
Negro as a race is placed in your
hands. The eyes of the world are upon
you. May the conduct of you, both as
officers and privates, on or off duty,
be such that not only we, your broth
ers, but the whole nation, can point to
you with pride.
We know, as protectors of the Stars
and Stripes, no race has shown more
loyalty and your bravery and forti
tude on the battlefield is unparalleled.
You have faced the foe with smiles on
your faces, given up your lives with
your faces to the front.
No American Negro troopers have
ever been known to shirk a duty or
disobey an order on the field of battle.
He has given quarter, but has never
asked it. Nowr, may the result of this
test of your efficiency, both morally
and physically, be of the highest stan
dard. You must not, you will not, be
found wanting in this, the supreme
test. God speed you, my brothers!
Our hearts arc with you.
W. S. WILKINSON.

CARD OF THANKS
Mr. John Norman wishes to thank
the many friends who so willingly and
cheerfully lent their aid to lessen his
sorrow caused by the recent loss of
his wife. The body of Mrs. Norman,
who died in Chicago, 111., was accom
panied home by two sisters and a
brother, and the funeral held from
Zion Baptist Church November 26.
The large crowd in attendance and
the beautiful floral offerings proved
the esteem in which Sister Norman
was held by all who knew her.
The ceremonies were in charge of
the Household of Ruth and Ivy Leaf
Court, No. 438.
The faithful discharge of her duties
toward Zion Baptist Church and the
above mentioned societies will ever
be held in grateful remembrance, but
we express the hope that even so great
a loss to earth will be overruled for
good by Him who doeth all things
well. May the living be taught by
Sister Norman’s life to
“So live, that when thy summons
comes,
To join that innumerable caravan
That moves from this to realms where
each shall take his chamber in the
silent halls of death,
Thou go, not like the quarry slave at
night, scourged to his dungeon,
But sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust;
Approach thy grave, like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch
about him,
And lies down to pleasant dreams.”
