THE OOLORED PREA0E1R. Mr- Ohauman Deecly Affected.Religion in Its Simoiicity. Mr. E R Chapman, the rich broker, who was sentenced to thirty days in jail for contempt in refusing to reply to questions propound* d by the Un¬ ited States Senste wrote the following to the Washington Post: Editor Post: Permit me through you to cali the attention of the good people of Wash¬ ington to the *fact that they have in their midst a man deserving of a mon¬ ument in one of your public squares 1 refer to a plain, unaffected and practically unknown colored man who for seventeen years has without fee or reward conducted the principal relig¬ ious services at the jail eva ry Sunday morning has devoted such time as could be spared to religious work amang his people confined therein, and has spent days and nights tff arding spiritual comfort and consolation to such of his race as have been condemned to death. To see this simple follower of tho Lamb in his unaffected way, pointing out to the mass of blsck humanity as- a* mbied at his services, the way of the cross is an inspiration. Through his efforts thousands have no doubt been taught the way of salvation, and are to-day leading better lives. In this man's presence I take off my hat. I sought an introduction to him and found him a man of tbe most modest and retiring disposition, claiming no credit for his efforts, apparently satis- tied to be the humble instrument of the Master in the work of salvation of bis fellow-man. On inquiry I found he is what is called a local preacher, not being reg¬ ularly insta'led over a church organi¬ zation, and is obliged to support him¬ self. For several years ha was em¬ ployed aa a laborer at $40 per month in the Bureau of Engraving and Print¬ ing, but was dismissed about a year ago by Secretary Carlisle with others, without the recommendation of tho chief of that Bureau, presumably to make a place for some one else. The authorities shou'd, in my opin¬ ion, employ this man at a proper sala¬ ry as chaplain of the jail, so thst he could devote his whole time to this service. If this csnnot be done he should at least be reinstated to the position from which he was dismissed, through no fault of his, the duties of which position he is entirely compe¬ tent and willing to perform. The pro¬ priety of this would seem to be self- evident. ER Chapman. Radporo, Va , June 15 Lsst Sunday being the second Sun¬ day in .lune, Rev F.

PEABODY MEDAL8 CONFERRED 8Y HOV JOHN MITCHELL, JR. List of Grad natos and Successful Stud¬ ents* Thirty-one graduates were sent forth lsst Monday night having com¬ pleted their course in the Richmond Colored High and Normal School to carve out a future that will redact credit upon their Alma Mater. Tha Thirtieth Annual Oommence- mt nt of the above named school tool- place at the First Baptist Church (ool¬ ored) sud was marked by the excellent order that prevailed through oat the evening, as well as the beatiful rendi¬ tion of the programme. It is hardly necessary to give a description of the beatiful collection of flowera that adorned the rostrum of the church, but sn (lice to say tbst these floral tri¬ butes from tha hands of admiring friends to the young graduates, lent additional charm to the gathering. At S :15 p. m, the gsxe of the assembly waa directed towards the door, through which the graduates marched, their appearance being all that foi d and lov¬ ing hearts c -uld have desired, THB P BOOBA M MB Fart I:.March ; song.

Jessie C. Smith embodied thoughts that were truly inspiring. The singing showed with what care and excellence the students had been trained and reflected great credit upon the school. The address of the even¬ ing wss delivered by Rev. W. F. Gra¬ ham; his subject being the "Benefits of the Present Free-School System," He pronounc-d it a friend of the poor and rich alike, and a stimulus to boys snd girls to higher and nobler endeavors, regardless of color or con¬ dition of birth, and defended in glo¬ rious terms this system that haa prov¬ en such a blessing to the eolored race in the south. A t'BATBFUL PKOPLB. Rev. Graham enlsrged upon one of the beautiful characteristics of the race and that was thair gratitude and appreciation for whatever kindness others have rendered to them. "Pri¬ vate and sectarian institutians ara good," he said, "but they only reach tha few ; but the public school system reaches the masses of our people and is the greatest agency t hat elevates us aa a rsce. It comes in contact with the masses directly, whiie the private and sectarian schools come in contact indirectly." Continuing, he explained that perfection had not been reached, but the stimulus given had already made tremendous advances. He then pointed out the great benefits the church, society, business, mercantile and the professional pursuits had de¬ rived from the Free School System and exhorted the colored race to make the roost of thea* advantages, consid¬ ering the fact that they are not finan¬ cially able to meet the growing de¬ mands of the race in their anxiety for an education. He heartily condemned the ides that tha Negro is on trisl and said that if given the proper encour¬ agement snd sn equal opportunity the Negro would go up Ike other races. He cited facts to prove that tbe Negro has long since demons tra ted his abili¬ ty along all lines, and showed that there were already 79 colored ladies and gentlemen who were teaching in the public schools of Richmond alone, and throughout the south tha colored schools have their colored presidents, faculties superintendents, principals and over 25.000 teachers His perora¬ tion wss a grand one, and when he re¬ sumed his seat there were rounls af¬ ter rounds of applause. COX KB RBI KO I'BABODT KBDAL.8. After a song Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. stepped forward and was greeted with a roar of applause He started out by explaining that the earliest records of prize giving in profane history were the prizes awarded at the Olympian (Tames, but could trace farther back in Sacred History to the time when, amid thunder and smoke, the laws were given Moses on Mount Sinai. He very aptly said that the world guages sll races by their literary and other achievements, but the permanent suc¬ cess for the colored race lies in their good behavior, since all think that we ahould be four times as good as any one else. He exhorted the great audience to be four times better, thereby showing us te be identified with the best blood in the whole world. Mr. Mitchell as¬ cended to great heights of eloquence and csutioned those who wera starting out that they wyuld have to fight the battle of life, that there was no royal road to success, or need they expect success through chance work, but that it waa through hard and earnest labor combined with an honest and persevering endeavor that would bring them success. The addreas wss fired with all the ardor of his nature and fairly electrified the house. Al¬ though many representatives of the other race were present, yet he did not hesitate to say that when the south ern white man pledgtd his friendship he was a friend indeed ; but when an enemy he was sn implacable one, in other words he was the best friend and worst enemy. When he closed hisad- dress, there was another grand out- ' bunt of enthusiasm. After which he THE ZEV^ZMZIINnH] I2nT TUTIDT^. PHOTOGRAPH FROM LIFE OF THE PRESENT FAMINE SCENE IN INDIA.

Free to all mai THE BAMJBLEE Sunday Traveling;.Gnostic Oriticiom. President Hayes' Effort. Hon. William McKinley, president of the United States of America in his recent trip to the Tennessee Exposi¬ tion at Nashville al ministered a strong, stir-King rebuke, reproof to Sunday traveling christians (?) espec¬ ially ministers, pastors, deacons, by his refining to travel on the Sabbath, lie is deliberately opposed to Sunday traveling, and had his train so sched¬ uled as not to travel on the Lord's Day. All honor to his rebuke. It is certainly needed. It is a disgrace to christisnity, the extent to which ministers and pastors trawl on Sunday. They aay as an ex¬ cuse, they do not like to do so, it is against their faith : but they are com¬ pelled -to do so, because of necessity. press of bu-ainess, to meet a note in bank on Monday morning, or to meet a committee meeting, etc. Flimsy ex¬ cuses weighed in the balance of Clod's law and found wanting. THE PRESIDENT'S EXAMPLE. No pastor bas tbe responsibilities, obligations, necessities, press of busi¬ ness, and persons to meet, etc., than has the President of this nation, and yet he remembers the Sabbath Day to keep it holy, and to take that rest es¬ sential to the human body- Some pastors preach against Sabbath breaking, and discipline their members for working on Sunday, and yet see the number of men they cause to work on Sundays, as conductors, engineers, firemen, train hands, ticket agents, de¬ pot men, flagmen, switchmen, and so on. to convey them on their Sunday trips. The Sunday traveling pastors say it is lawful to do good on the Sab¬ bath. Yes it is. Is not remembering tbe Sabbath Day and keeping it holy, doing good ? Relieving persons from v-ikes, from burden, from distress, is the good to be done on the Sabbath, but not to put yokes, burdens and dis¬ tresses upon persons. Some preach against 8unday excursions, street promenading, big dinners, secular so¬ ciety meeting, funerals and other non¬ observances of the Sabbath. The peo¬ ple have as much right to so act as the preacher hss to travel on Sunday, What is the difference in a preacher going to NorfolktOn Sunday to preach and a person going to Norfolk for recre¬ ation, and to enjoy a salt water bath in the Atlantic Ocean ? ROIUH ON TBS PREACHER. I am not an advocate for such, but I cannot see how a laymen should be condemned for Sunday traveling, and the preacher stand acquitted. Some¬ times tbe plea is put forth by preach¬ ers who travel on Sundays, we have something important that cannot be put oil, and thus not trusting in God- Many preach to the people, trust in God, but in many things do not set the example of trusting God themselves. The good Book tells them to be exam¬ ples in righteousness to their flocks. There are preachers who go to con¬ ferences, conventions snd associations; and make motions, and vote to lay a subject on the table, to postpone, or ' indefinitely postpone, and yet they I cannot so treat a matter as to ka»ep them from traveling on Sunday. The great Columbian Exposition, and celebration of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus was put off What harm or loss ensued? Columbus discovered America in 1492. IK'2 was the 400th year from the dis¬ covery. It was proposed to celebrate such in 1892, but owing to its being a presidential election year, the expo¬ sition and celebration were postponed to 1893. Yet all was well. PBEFEBBED THB DOO'O BABB.

Before Rambler lays down his pen, he must express a word of approval of the noble stand taken by the Plan rt concerning the ha. ads of our colored schools. Amos tell us that 30.000 colored stu¬ dents have been graduated from schools in the South, supported ny Northern finance since the intestine war. Notwithstanding such, wo are told that not one of the 30 000 is able to control a school, or influential enough to draw finsnce from the maintenance of the school. It is curious that a na¬ tive born American, lie-cause his skin . . is black, or hit hair kinky cannot eon* k trol and draw money as well as a man born in Scotland. Rambler is informed by the laat number of the Christian Banner that Professors D. N. Vasssr ard J. E. Jont-s of the Richmond Theological Seminary have been educators for si- most a quarter of a century, and have given ample satisfsction. Why was not one of them made President of Wayland Seminary ? Echo answers. Why? We are told at annual meetings your race has done nobler, grander and made more rapid progress than any other race of people of like cir¬ cumstance, and yet they endeavor to put us back to where we were when in severities. Oh consistency 1 thou art a Jewel. We are told by the press that tbe re¬ cent visit of President Hayes of the Virginia Seminary, in a paper ra-ad by him before the Baptist Ministers' Con¬ ference of Philadelphia, Pa., a laure influential body of nearly one hundred ministers, removed many false impres¬ sions concerning the capability of the colored man, especially the colored scholar. We clipped the following from the Christian Banner: "There nas been a barrier placed by some of our well wishers, between in¬ stitutions controlled by capable col¬ ored men and women, and our charita¬ ble friends at the North, which has prevented worthy schools from getting that support which would have greatly increased and multiplied their useful¬ ness. The impression has been made that the Negro soholsr, though he hails from the same school as the white scholar, and has graduated in the same class with the white, is not qualified to be president and manager of a collage. This impression has to a great extent been removed from our Philadelphia Baptist, by the paper of Professor G. W. Hayes. .'Virginia Seminary and other wor¬ thy schools will he benefitted by this result, Professor Hayes emphasized to the satisfaction of all, the importance of higher education for th--* Negro. Tho Negro should have the educational qualifications to fill any position in the gift of the greatest institutions of our land, and if he ia debsrred let it not ba for lack of qualification. Many of our so-called leaders and friends have ad¬ vocated industrial education at the ex¬ pense and injury of higher or classical education. Industrial education is good in its place ; but can never bring a man up on the level with the man who was both. Tha development of the intellect of the Negro should not De limited, but should be encouraged to reach out in every branch of knowl¬ edge as far as the mind can conceive."

The many questions put to him during his last term of office wa re ably sud we believe satisfactorily answered. If the brethren were to keep them¬ selves totter versed in tbe laws we think it would bstOD-b better. Ke¬ rrs ma? in br should l n.»w the laws and not have to ask such Hi ms j questions. The Endowment Association did good srork daring; last term. Some of the members are at a loss to know the rcat-a-n that stone of th» beneficiaries of deceased brethren received more than others. The cann' is quite plain when we remember that the Endowment is run on the assessment plan Some members of ooaree which is quite nat¬ ural sre continually becoming antx-tie- fitted which makes the amount re¬ ceived frtim the assessments smaller If a stipulated sum had to be paitl at regulsr periods regardless of the deaths that tenir, the amount paid to beneficiaries would necessarily he the same. The yo.mg men are fast learning the importnnce of conneeting themselves with this grand old order, ar.il we hope to have a Patriarch ie composed of all young men. The Past Grand Masters' Council is in a flourishing condition and its ranks are being filled by the material from the several lodges. The Permanent Secretaries of tbe several lodges are earnestly requestt-d to send us a line eoneernit'j? the grow th s:.d election of ffl rasri of their l-Oat-brea. .>u!d like to have thc members interested along this line also. These matt- rs are published in this column gratuitously and we hope each lodge in the State will be heard from K:\itht i- li Bet'elita*- Taylor is one of the many acive young men conni with tlie fraternity in this city. He is well-known and bears an excellent reputatk n among the brethren and eit- la-aone. Many young men remain out of the order because positions of trust are not offered them. We think it far bet¬ ter that von should st tty uninitiated as sn Odd I-*ili:w has to work for honors. We think this the best course as lsxy people shouid not be encouraged any where and will not bo iu this order. We have just been informed that Brother James ll Rhurer of Friend¬ ship Lodge, 18-M tock unto himself a fair one on the 7th of .lune.

Thus on last Sunday it was fully re¬ alised that summer is hare, and that the g'ory of the sun's rays made ev¬ erything warm and bright* Most of our churches were well attended. At the First Baptist Ghurch. Rev. Johnson of New Kent administered tbe ordinance of Baptism. The funeral of Rev. Timothy Harris, pastor of Saint John Baptist Church waa preached at the Fifth Street Bap¬ tist Church last Sunday morning. A large number of hit* members ware in attendance. The elder haa been a suf¬ ferer for sometime. On n»-xt Sunday, there will be n Grand Rally at the Moora Street Bap¬ tist Church. At ll :30, Rev. Binga and his choir of First Baptist Churah of Manchester will conduct the services. At 3 o'clock. Rev. W. F. Graham and his excellent ohoir will conduct the services. Rev. Grawley of South Bos¬ ton will preach at 8 o'clock, while tho Shsron Church chair will sing to the occasion. Go and hear those distin¬ guished divines and carry a piece of money. Probably the largest baptizing of the season will take place*at the Ebenezer Baptist Church next Sunday morning. Tbe revival success haa been groat at this church and many are still bowing there. Thia has been a great school closing week. Every school in tha system hss cloted. On last Monday night, the Com¬ mencement Exercises of the Richmond Normal School was held in prasenea of large number of both white and col¬ ored persons. After the rendition of the programme by the graduates of tba? ra-nior das. whioh waa exception¬ ally floe. Ker W. F. Graham delivered a most timely anu oloquent address to those who were about so I****** thia course of learning. Ha waa followea by Editor John Mitchell, one of her sons, who redacted credit upon bio alma mater in delivering the peabody medals. It was in this that ha again won the estimation of his people. Hia noble effort waa hailed with great ex¬ ultation in this section. On Tuesday morning, tha District Schools wera elosed. We ara sorry to ssy there were quite a number of un¬ fortunates in both of these, and tear¬ ful eyes were numerous. We have quite a number on our sick list; yet we are glad to aay that some ara improving. We ststed a few weeks ago that the first marriage for this month took place on ths 3rd on Leigh street; but wc beg to state here that the first waa on the 2nd on Harrison street. It seems that the printing force of that organization had a misunder¬ standing last week concerning their pay, and would have knocked oh* bat for the timely action of the bono. "Do right and fear not." The ice-cream saloon keepers cay they know it is hot from the amount of cream they are Belling. Say John, don't you know my girl demonstrated more love towards me last night than she haa for the last six months? Well, yon shouldn't notice that; for it's hot now, and that may be ice-croam lora. Boys, don't stroll in the direction of the ice-cream saloon unless you hare ii-e-cream money. Girls, when you love a young man, be sure it's pure. Remember that love doth seldom suffer itself to lie confined by other matchee than thoae of its-own making. Women have, in general, but ona ob¬ ject, which is their beauty, and no flattery is too gross for them. This io plainly demonstrated in their use of paints and powder and their hair- straightening processes. Maoho Uno. FROM CLIFTON FORGE.

Mr- Ohauman Deecly Affected.Religionin Its Simoiicity.

Mr. E R Chapman, the rich broker,who was sentenced to thirty days injail for contempt in refusing to replyto questions propound* d by the Un¬ited States Senste wrote the followingto the Washington Post:Editor Post:Permit me through you to cali the

attention of the good people of Wash¬ington to the *fact that they have intheir midst a man deserving of a mon¬ument in one of your public squares1 refer to a plain, unaffected andpractically unknown colored man whofor seventeen years has without fee orreward conducted the principal relig¬ious services at the jail eva ry Sundaymorning has devoted such time as couldbe spared to religious work amang hispeople confined therein, and has spentdays and nights tff arding spiritualcomfort and consolation to such of hisrace as have been condemned todeath.To see this simple follower of tho

Lamb in his unaffected way, pointingout to the mass of blsck humanity as-a* mbied at his services, the way of thecross is an inspiration. Through hisefforts thousands have no doubt beentaught the way of salvation, and areto-day leading better lives. In thisman's presence I take off my hat.

I sought an introduction to him andfound him a man of tbe most modestand retiring disposition, claiming nocredit for his efforts, apparently satis-tied to be the humble instrument ofthe Master in the work of salvation ofbis fellow-man.On inquiry I found he is what is

called a local preacher, not being reg¬ularly insta'led over a church organi¬zation, and is obliged to support him¬self. For several years ha was em¬ployed aa a laborer at $40 per monthin the Bureau of Engraving and Print¬ing, but was dismissed about a yearago by Secretary Carlisle with others,without the recommendation of thochief of that Bureau, presumably tomake a place for some one else.The authorities shou'd, in my opin¬ion, employ this man at a proper sala¬

ry as chaplain of the jail, so thst hecould devote his whole time to thisservice. If this csnnot be done heshould at least be reinstated to theposition from which he was dismissed,through no fault of his, the duties ofwhich position he is entirely compe¬tent and willing to perform. The pro¬priety of this would seem to be self-evident.

Gra¬ham; his subject being the "Benefitsof the Present Free-School System,"He pronounc-d it a friend of the poorand rich alike, and a stimulus toboys snd girls to higher and noblerendeavors, regardless of color or con¬dition of birth, and defended in glo¬rious terms this system that haa prov¬en such a blessing to the eolored racein the south.

A t'BATBFUL PKOPLB.

Rev. Graham enlsrged upon one ofthe beautiful characteristics of therace and that was thair gratitude andappreciation for whatever kindnessothers have rendered to them. "Pri¬vate and sectarian institutians aragood," he said, "but they only reachtha few ; but the public school systemreaches the masses of our people andis the greatest agency t hat elevates usaa a rsce. It comes in contact withthe masses directly, whiie the privateand sectarian schools come in contactindirectly." Continuing, he explainedthat perfection had not been reached,but the stimulus given had alreadymade tremendous advances. He thenpointed out the great benefits thechurch, society, business, mercantileand the professional pursuits had de¬rived from the Free School Systemand exhorted the colored race to makethe roost of thea* advantages, consid¬ering the fact that they are not finan¬cially able to meet the growing de¬mands of the race in their anxiety foran education. He heartily condemnedthe ides that tha Negro is on trisl andsaid that if given the proper encour¬agement snd sn equal opportunity theNegro would go up Ike other races.He cited facts to prove that tbe Negrohas long since demons trated his abili¬ty along all lines, and showed thatthere were already 79 colored ladiesand gentlemen who were teaching inthe public schools of Richmond alone,and throughout the south tha coloredschools have their colored presidents,faculties superintendents, principalsand over 25.000 teachers His perora¬tion wss a grand one, and when he re¬sumed his seat there were rounls af¬ter rounds of applause.

After a song Hon. John Mitchell, Jr.stepped forward and was greeted witha roar of applause He started out byexplaining that the earliest records ofprize giving in profane history werethe prizes awarded at the Olympian(Tames, but could trace farther backin Sacred History to the time when,amid thunder and smoke, the lawswere given Moses on Mount Sinai. Hevery aptly said that the world guagessll races by their literary and otherachievements, but the permanent suc¬cess for the colored race lies in theirgood behavior, since all think that weahould be four times as good as anyone else.He exhorted the great audience to

be four times better, thereby showingus te be identified with the best bloodin the whole world. Mr. Mitchell as¬cended to great heights of eloquenceand csutioned those who wera startingout that they wyuld have to fight thebattle of life, that there was no royalroad to success, or need they expectsuccess through chance work, butthat it waa through hard and earnestlabor combined with an honest andpersevering endeavor that wouldbring them success. The addreas wssfired with all the ardor of his natureand fairly electrified the house. Al¬though many representatives of theother race were present, yet he didnot hesitate to say that when the southern white man pledgtd his friendshiphe was a friend indeed ; but when anenemy he was sn implacable one, inother words he was the best friend andworst enemy. When he closed hisad-dress, there was another grand out-' bunt of enthusiasm. After which he

THE BAMJBLEE

Sunday Traveling;.Gnostic Oriticiom.President Hayes' Effort.

Hon. William McKinley, presidentof the United States of America in hisrecent trip to the Tennessee Exposi¬tion at Nashville al ministered astrong, stir-King rebuke, reproof toSunday traveling christians (?) espec¬ially ministers, pastors, deacons, byhis refining to travel on the Sabbath,lie is deliberately opposed to Sundaytraveling, and had his train so sched¬uled as not to travel on the Lord'sDay. All honor to his rebuke. It iscertainly needed.

It is a disgrace to christisnity, theextent to which ministers and pastorstrawl on Sunday. They aay as an ex¬cuse, they do not like to do so, it isagainst their faith : but they are com¬pelled -to do so, because of necessity.press of bu-ainess, to meet a note inbank on Monday morning, or to meet acommittee meeting, etc. Flimsy ex¬cuses weighed in the balance of Clod'slaw and found wanting.

THE PRESIDENT'S EXAMPLE.No pastor bas tbe responsibilities,obligations, necessities, press of busi¬

ness, and persons to meet, etc., thanhas the President of this nation, andyet he remembers the Sabbath Day tokeep it holy, and to take that rest es¬sential to the human body-Some pastors preach against Sabbath

breaking, and discipline their membersfor working on Sunday, and yet seethe number of men they cause to workon Sundays, as conductors, engineers,firemen, train hands, ticket agents, de¬pot men, flagmen, switchmen, and soon. to convey them on their Sundaytrips. The Sunday traveling pastorssay it is lawful to do good on the Sab¬bath. Yes it is. Is not rememberingtbe Sabbath Day and keeping it holy,doing good ? Relieving persons fromv-ikes, from burden, from distress, isthe good to be done on the Sabbath,but not to put yokes, burdens and dis¬tresses upon persons. Some preachagainst 8unday excursions, streetpromenading, big dinners, secular so¬ciety meeting, funerals and other non¬observances of the Sabbath. The peo¬ple have as much right to so act as thepreacher hss to travel on Sunday,What is the difference in a preachergoing to NorfolktOn Sunday to preachand a person going to Norfolk for recre¬ation, and to enjoy a salt water bathin the Atlantic Ocean ?

ROIUH ON TBS PREACHER.

I am not an advocate for such, but Icannot see how a laymen should becondemned for Sunday traveling, andthe preacher stand acquitted. Some¬times tbe plea is put forth by preach¬ers who travel on Sundays, we havesomething important that cannot beput oil, and thus not trusting in God-Many preach to the people, trust inGod, but in many things do not set theexample of trusting God themselves.The good Book tells them to be exam¬ples in righteousness to their flocks.There are preachers who go to con¬

ferences, conventions snd associations;and make motions, and vote to lay asubject on the table, to postpone, or

' indefinitely postpone, and yet theyI cannot so treat a matter as to ka»epthem from traveling on Sunday.The great Columbian Exposition,and celebration of the discovery ofAmerica by Christopher Columbus wasput off What harm or loss ensued?Columbus discovered America in 1492.IK'2 was the 400th year from the dis¬covery. It was proposed to celebratesuch in 1892, but owing to its beinga presidential election year, the expo¬sition and celebration were postponedto 1893. Yet all was well.

PBEFEBBED THB DOO'O BABB.

A man once said, thst he would ra!li¬er hear a dog bark than to hear a Sun¬day traveling preacher; that the bark¬ing of the dog would have a salutaryeffect upon him, but such preachingwould be to him aa pouring water on aduck's backA Methodist conference in Maine

prayed that God would make a goodMethodist of President McKinley. Lerjail christians, all Sabbath keepers,I pray that President McKinley msy ev-11 I er present the example of a good Sab¬bath keeper and ever rebuke Sundaytraveling preachers. Amen and amen.

Before Rambler lays down his pen,he must express a word of approval ofthe noble stand taken by the Plan rtconcerning the ha. ads of our coloredschools.Amos tell us that 30.000 colored stu¬

dents have been graduated fromschools in the South, supported nyNorthern finance since the intestinewar. Notwithstanding such, wo aretold that not one of the 30 000 is able tocontrol a school, or influential enoughto draw finsnce from the maintenanceof the school. It is curious that a na¬tive born American, lie-cause his skin

. . is black, or hit hair kinky cannot eon*

k

trol and draw money as well as a manborn in Scotland.Rambler is informed by the laat

number of the Christian Banner thatProfessors D. N. Vasssr ard J. E.Jont-s of the Richmond TheologicalSeminary have been educators for si-most a quarter of a century, and havegiven ample satisfsction. Why wasnot one of them made President ofWayland Seminary ? Echo answers.Why? We are told at annual meetingsyour race has done nobler, granderand made more rapid progress thanany other race of people of like cir¬cumstance, and yet they endeavor toput us back to where we were when inseverities. Oh consistency 1 thou art aJewel.We are told by the press that tbe re¬cent visit of President Hayes of theVirginia Seminary, in a paper ra-ad byhim before the Baptist Ministers' Con¬ference of Philadelphia, Pa., a laureinfluential body of nearly one hundredministers, removed many false impres¬sions concerning the capability of thecolored man, especially the coloredscholar. We clipped the followingfrom the Christian Banner:"There nas been a barrier placed bysome of our well wishers, between in¬stitutions controlled by capable col¬ored men and women, and our charita¬ble friends at the North, which hasprevented worthy schools from gettingthat support which would have greatlyincreased and multiplied their useful¬ness. The impression has been madethat the Negro soholsr, though hehails from the same school as the whitescholar, and has graduated in the sameclass with the white, is not qualified tobe president and manager of a collage.This impression has to a great extentbeen removed from our PhiladelphiaBaptist, by the paper of Professor G.W. Hayes..'Virginia Seminary and other wor¬thy schools will he benefitted by thisresult, Professor Hayes emphasized tothe satisfaction of all, the importanceof higher education for th--* Negro.Tho Negro should have the educationalqualifications to fill any position in thegift of the greatest institutions of ourland, and if he ia debsrred let it not bafor lack of qualification. Many of ourso-called leaders and friends have ad¬vocated industrial education at the ex¬pense and injury of higher or classicaleducation. Industrial education isgood in its place ; but can never bringa man up on the level with the manwho was both. Tha development ofthe intellect of the Negro should notDe limited, but should be encouragedto reach out in every branch of knowl¬edge as far as the mind can conceive."
