'DK." DERRICK on THE CoLoRED EXODUS
The colored 8Iethodists last night held a
meeting in aid OF the Kansas emigrants.
Presiding Elder Derrick, of Virginia, was
the first speaker, and after stating that it
was as much Gospel work to discuss the
rights and privileges CT the people as it is
to speak OF Hallclujah,' referred to tie
missionary work having been commenced
by the Saviour himself, and said the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church bad mis-
sion to perform to carry the Gospel to the
japanese, Chinese, Maiays, and other east
ern people, to say nothing OF Africa. But
they should look at home, and say to their
brethren who are packing up their effects
to 90 to 4 land Of freedom. "God-speed."
This he regarded as IL religious duty, and
they should assist these people to the land
where John Brown knocked out the lynch
pin Of human slavery. There was just rs
much
MISSIONARY WORK TO DO IN TIE SOUTH
as in africa, and aid WAS wanted. To those
who say the movement is ill-maturcd he
would say, Go do@l south and try it, and
you'Il skedadde in less than three months.
These people are getting out OF the way OF
the buldozer, and have como to the conclu-
sion that it is better to die with the face to-
wards freedom than to remain and die Il
beggar in the land OF the oppressor. He did
not counsel strife, but this was a question
Of manhood. When Sc per month is paid
to support. man, his wife ard children,
and when under yearly agreement for
1920 the man find, out at the close that he is
375 in debt, is it any wonder that they are
dissatisfied! he believed that black horse
needed the same amount Of food as white
one; and if colorcd men are given an op-
portunily-wi the hoe, the spelling.5ook,
and the hulot-they will make themselves
respected.
