E, Church, the good Bishop made a very touching summa- ry of hig life and work, for the ad- vancemment of the Educational Life of the Negro. He told how he left a splendid parish in Cincinnati and went to Georgia, and on the outskirts of Atlanta, founded the Gammon Theologizal Seminary. From th's humble teginning, today, that school po'nts with pride to several Bishops and some of the outstanding pastors of the country, who have graduated from Gammon, | Our own Rev. Pope fs from that Institution; tke only graduate in Wichita. The Bishop then told of the strug- gle at Howard, and how hard he had worked to put that college on a sound footing; and that today, Howard ranks with the beat Universities in the land. The Howard group in our city are: Dr. P. M. Bell, Dr, G. G, Brown, Mr. J. C. Green, Miss Hattle Harper, and Atty. Jas. A. Spears. They were seated together and In a presenta- tion talk made by Lawyer Spears, they gave to the Bishop a beautiful leather bound Testament as an ex- pression of their loyalty to Howard, nd their appreciation for his hfe s. service for that Institution, The Bishop says tkat if there Ss one drop of Race Prejudice in his heart, he would take a knife and let it out. He fs now Bishop of Mexico. He ‘gave a brief account of that great country and of the Latin Americans and how they are being revolutlon- ized by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Come again Bishop, you are welcome, “Hutch.” 2 eH That any jackass can bray, but it takes a thinker to say something that will help others.§ ‘That those who fight with the eword shall perish by the sword; what is your wesponofdefense? =” That those who had already made the Summer's ebange of apparel felt some- what shakey during the few chilly days this week? That Mrs. Geeder, head of the music department of L'Ouverture School, again put the school and the Negro on the map when, under her very efficient direction, the little girls of thie achoo! won the music memory contest? This meana the defeat of all the others in town. This success of the music de: partment only gives additional evidence of the excelling and prevailing ab lity of a despised and rejected pecple, ‘That Miss Laura Rawles has allowed the little chilly spell to make her s little uppish; she bardly speaks to us now, ‘That we must continuously remind ourselves of the need of encouraging the young folk?
