death at the hands of persons
unknown.:

On July 26, the Civil Rights
congress was the- first tu offer
a reward of $1,000 for information leading to the conviction
and punishment of those guilty
of the murders, Subs2quently
other organizations and _ the
governor of Georgia have posted rewards totalling nearly $50,000.

Further scrutiny of Harrison,
another key witness, was demanded on the basis of the
claim that the ~short cut~ he
claims to have uSed in driving

route than the road he was\accustomed to travel,~ His having
given three hours advance notice of his urrangement for the

two hours before he gave pubic elarm, thus allowing the

Last, but not least, I can
say that he is telling the good
news in an effective way; he
is showing himself to be a
~workman~ that needeth not be
ashamed, because he is rightly
dividing the word of truth, |

May I say to you, Rev, Arnold, preach on, and continue
to hold up the blood-stained
banner for Jesus Christ, Thesé
four years have not been easy,
and though you have suffered
mahv bukes and scorns, Jesus
said ~All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth. Go
ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and the Son
and. of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them -to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded]
you: and, lo, I am wiih you
always, even unto the end
~the world.~

Again, may I say, preach on,
live on, live long, and when
the battle of life is over, may
you wear a crown in the New
Jerusalem.
