A Hard-Working Race

As is true of any race, we have a class
about bar-rooms and street corners, but the
rank and file of the Negro race works from

comes from the cotton-fields of Mississippi, the
rice-swamps of the Carolinas, or the sugar-bottoms
of Louisiana, the Negro answers that
call. Home Missionary Meeting.
