Marshal Douglass Lectures at Mount Pleas
ant.
On Wednesday Frederick Douglass, the
United States Marshal for this District delivered
his lecture on "SelfMade Men" to n small but ap-
preciative audience at Mount Pleasant He re-
ceived close attention and was frequently applaud
ed. The lecture bristled with brilliant passages
and materials for reflection. The substratum Of
his theory In relation to the successes of selfmnde
men Is that, while they differ In the warp aud woof
OF human nature and are variant In their capaci-
ties and endowmcnts, they are uniform In q per-
sistcnt and never.tiring industry. They build
themselves up slowly by toll. While other men are
idle they labor The lesson Cleaned from the lec-
ture Is TINT all men may rise more or less, by the
same means; that an Improvement of time, a per.
sistcnt application, is the royal road to advance.
ncnt; and that In the race Of life, other things be-
ing equal, labor will always win. Mr.. Douglass
idea Of prayer was illustrated by his own expert.
ence. Afler saying that faith aud prayer must be
attended by works, he observed that he used to
pray oflen and long for freedom, but he never got
II till he prayed with his legs.
