Ably Conducted Religious Corporation Founded 106 Years Ago Celebrates Anniversary With Series of Public Exercises and Raises $2,040—Results of Intelligent Leadership. New York.—The Abyssinian Baptist church in this city, of which the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell is the capable and highly esteemed pastor, recently closed a ten days' celebration of its one hundred and sixth anniversary. Some of the most able clergymen and laymen of the race took part in the anniversary exercises. Inspiring and scholarly sermons were delivered by Revs. H. H. Warring, W. J. Lucas, W. M. Moss, W. H. Brooks, W. P. Hayes, W. H. Harrod and S. W. Timms. Mr. Watt Terry, the young real estate operator of Brockton, Mass., who is reported to be worth nearly a million dollars, and Hon. Fred R. Moore urged the race to save money and go into business. One of the features of the celebration was a recital of sacred music by an orchestra of fifty members from the Martin-Smith music school. Never before was a sacred concert held on so large a scale seen in a church among our people in this city. The pastor and officers asked for $2,000 during the celebration. Up to the fourth Sunday in November $2,040 had been reported, and some auxiliaries were to be heard from. This church has a unique and admirable method of conducting its activities. The prayer meetings, revival services and financial rallies are conducted by the eleven auxiliaries. It is the business of two of these auxiliaries to help REV. DR. A. CLAYTON POWELL.

MANNING'S LETTER. Approves Work of National Independent Equal Rights League. The following letter has been received by President Gunner of the National Independent Equal Rights league from the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, a white man and former member of the Alabama legislature: Crawford House, Boston, Nov. 21, 1914. Rev. Byron Gunner, President National Independent Equal Rights League, Hillburn, N. Y.: Dear Rev. Gunner—If ever before there was needed any demonstration of the effectiveness of an organization of, for and by colored people in their own behalf this has been shown by the league you have the honor to head as president. Your organization has awakened the country and forced the issue and has proved that "he who would be free must first strike the blow." Surely now that the fighting ability of your league is shown there will be a disposition on the part of all colored people to turn their support to it as the means to the end of the achievement of their rights. I hope that every possible support will be concentrated to the end that the league and Trotter and the Guardian will be backed up for that continued achievement which the recent events show you can bring to pass.
