This Week In Religion
and Thought
BY ROBT. L. MOODY ...
February Friends—
The birthdays of two great Am
ericans were observed last week.
Abraham Lincoln( the great Eman
cipator was born February 12
Frederick Douglas, the great Ne
gro abolitionist, lecturer and jour
nalist, did not know the exact date
of his birth, but he thought it was
February 14th.
President Lincoln will be rcmen*.
bered as long as America exists
because of hia devotion to the Un
ion and his hatred for injustice.
Our nation is facing a crisis as
serious as that which exited at the
time of the Civil war. Lincoln’s
words of March 4, 1865 are ap
propriate for the entire world of
today: “Fondly do we hope and fer
vently do we pray, that this migh
ty scourge of war may soon pass
away”.

OPEN LETTER—
Dear Sir— In honor of Mr. Wm.
Davis, I submit the following art
icle.
NEGRO HISTORY WEEK, 9-16
Emphasizes the Career of Fred
erick Douglas.
Frederick Douglas did not know
the exact date when he was born
He figured out later in life that
he was born in Februafy in 1817.
He decided to celebrate Valentines
Day as his birthday. He is gen
erally thought of then as having
been born on the 14th of February
Through the United States when
others are thinking of the birthday
of Washington and Lincoln, Negro
es and their friends honor along
with these two presidents that
great reformer who helped make
the United States the free country
that both Washington and Lincoln
desired.
Frederick Douglass, although
|>orn a slave^ was a thinker from
childhood. He had a master mind
With little assistance he learned to
read and by reading he made him
self one of the greatest thinkers
and orators of all time. Every
school boy should read his narrat
ive and above all his most amazing
apostrophe to freedom which lie
uttered when but a slave boy held
on a plantation on tiie eastern
shore of Maryland.
My Opinion is that ,we as Negro
es should think of one of his since
he determined his birthday as
February 14th. Gives us a chance
to think more of our own, and in
honor of our race. In turn show
appreciation for our own people,
yours very truly,
Augustus K. Hines.

A Prominent Business l
Woman Praises Mme. C J. j
Walker’s Preparations I
' "I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where. t
• Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine.
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won
derful preparations are sold by
Walker Beauticians and Drug
Stores everywhere, or you can
