A Four Year Old Oolored Preacher
Louisville Courier-Journn.


There is now in Louisville q negress
who is perfect child wonder. She is .
Scriptural marvel. She does not even
know her letters, yet she can quote &C
curately most any passage in the Bible.
At the age of nine months abe could
talk; and would frequently tell her
mother what her idea of heaven was.
As she grew older she would sit for hours
and expatiate on the beauties and glories
of the other world. The old colored
folks would listen to her sayings for
hours.
At the age of three years she began to
lecture on heaven, its wonders, or God
and His omnipotent power. She has
lectured in many places, and has created
q furore in every place she has appeared.
The prodigy lectured at the York Street
Colored Church recently in the after
noon, and at night spoke to q largo
crowd at the Green Street Colored
Church. Her speech was good, and her
delivery impressive.
A reporter of the C0srier-.Joas~al in
terrogated her.
"What is your name, little girli"
"Alice Cotany."
how OLD are your
"1se just 4 years and % days old to-
night"
"Where were you born1".
"I was born in Liverpool. England
cross the Atlantic"
-,.l9t How ~. long ,g since you felt the power
~ don't know; Ise always felt the
power of God"
"What do you talk about when you
speak to . cr0Wdf"
1 talk about Jesus, about heavenly
things, about how Jesus died and was
crucified; how He rose again in three
days and sitteth on the right hand Of
God"
"Can you spellf"
"No sir; I don't know my A, B, Cs
yet"
She then went on in rapturous strain,
about things Biblical and spiritual, CON-
pletely nonpluMing tho reporter.
She was accompanied BY two colored
men. They talked in an enthusiastic
manner about her. She said in her own
conversation that she believed in two
kinds of baptism. She spoke of the diff
ferent modes Of salvation; how to reach
paradise; how to BE- converted from .
bad man to good one, etc. Her say
ings were entirely original, and were not
spoken In . hesitating voice, but in .
quick, keen, and forcible manner. Al
young q she il, negres, without edu-
cution in the principles ahe sets forth,
her power partakes strongly of tho
