Sometimes they work very well alona but can’t make a hitch with others.

We are building every day, In a good and and evil way, And the structure as it grows Does our Inmost selves disclose. Till in every arch anu line, All our sins and failures shine We can build a castle grand Or a wreck upon the sand, Do you ask what builds this That can show both pain and bliss That can be both dark and fair? Lo its name is Character. Build it well whatever you do, Build it strong and straight and true Build it deep, and high and broad, Build it for the eye of God.

My Morning Prayer. I praise the Lord each morn I rise, To guide me safe until I die.' Each day I live may I do more Than what I did* the day before. May my prayer reach someone and save That soul from a sinner’s grave. As God elects His angels dear Sometimes they’re babe* and yet I fear £ And dread there’s something I.ve left out For God I fear without a doubt, We know nor the moment nor hour For God has such wonderful power It may be you or me who knows, So let good deeds take root and grow Then when we leave this world below, To yonder’s world we’re bound to go Neele Phillips.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. President of the United States.

PRESIDENT TAFT’S DEEP SYMPATHY FOR THE RACE.

I am fully alive to the heart pangs that a colored man endures when suffering from the contemptuous insults of white men not at all his equal either in point of intelligence or devotion to duty. | know the sense of injustice that has oftentimes burned itself into his breast when he realizes that his rights have been trampled upon and his claims to fair treatment rejected solely because of the color of his skin.—President William Howard Taft.

“I KNOW THE BURDENS YOU HAVE TO BEAR,”

I know the burdens you have to bear. I can understand the disadvantages under which you labor. I know of your sufferings, mental and otherwise, and humiliations. I can understand what they are and how hard they are to bear, but I want you to know that there are a lot of good people in this world who sympathize deeply with you and are anxious to help you in your hard course.—From Speech of President Taft at Georgia Industrial School, Ga^ May 1, 1912.

THE DOOR OF HOPE—1902.

I cannot consent to take the positjon that -the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man. no matter how worthy, purely upon the ground of race or color.—THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

TEN YEARS LATER—1912.

It would be much worse than useless to try to build up the Progressive party in these southern states, where there is no real Republican party, by appealing to the Negroes or to the men who in the past have derived their sole standing from leading and manipulating the Negroes.—THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
