A Calamity

By F. G.

THE serious misfortune which befell the Oakwood Manual Training-school will undoubtedly be known to our people before they read this. This is our only school for the training of colored workers, and the loss of their chapel and dormitory for their young men is indeed a most serious one. This loss calls not only for sympathy on our part, but for a hearty contribution in the upbuilding of new and better accommodations for their work. We have no other training-school where the accommodations are so meager as at Huntsville. This school has a great and important work to perform, and it should have suitable quarters in which to carry it on. We should not only pray for the recovery of their loss, but we should work while we pray. God has a great work for this school to do. Let us all help it in performing its work. F. G.
