Future of the Colored Race.

Prot. r. j. Greener, the friend and adviser
OF Cadet Whitaker during his long trial at
West Point last Spring came from Washing
ton yesterday to participate in the fair being
held in the Sullivan Street African Methodist
Episcopal Church, of which the Rev T. Nee.
Stewart, one of the Professors old South Car
Dina pupils,is the pastor. Prof Greener spoke
for an hour ON the duties and responsibilities
OF the colored man as the representative of a
great race. In spite of the discouragements of
caste, the Professor said the negro race in
America has made more rapid strides in the
last fifteen years than any other race ever made
in the history Of the world. America is one of
the hardest countries in the world for weak
race to rise in, because here every man has a
chance with all the rest, and is intent only in
pushing himself to the 'front.' There are only
two institutions, he said in the land supported
