Description
"So hope, so pray that the sun of Christmas blessing may shine upon the snow of your discontent, that it melt and in rivulets run away.
To all our subscribers, readers and advertisers we are wishing a Merry Christmas and many happy returns of the day. May every one of them, that so desires, have the biggest, tenderest and fattest turkey the market affords, with plenty of good things on the side and the happiest day they have ever experienced. To our enemies, if we have any, many good wishes for their Christmas day.
That the colored races under the dominion of Great Britain and other countries now in the thrones of war are doing some thinking is manifested in the fact that the Abysinians and others are endeavoring to make terms before sending troops to the front. In the case of Abysinia, she is asking a guarantee of freedom of independence before taking apart or sending troops to the front. There is but little doubt but greater recognition of the manhood of the darker races will be conceded by all parties after this war is over. Perhaps after all in the end the “Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man” will be recognized as never before.
It is generally known that Saturday of last week was the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of freedom to the colored people of these United States. Some day, possibly, we will get it into our heads that occasions should be such properly celebrated much the same as the Fourth of July is now celebrated by all the citizens of this United States."
