BROTHER BARNEs'S
Good work in KentuekS-A Significant
Incident.

FRANKFORT, KY, June 24.-At Brother
Barnes's meeting last night there was an
episode. In which colored brother and the
highest judicial officer OF the State gave a
public exhibition of the fraternal relations
existing between the white and colored races
IN Kentucky. While the evangelist stood
with outstretched hands, asking, "Who
will trust the Lord?" Judge Thomas
F. Hargis, OF the Court OF Appeals,
was moved to confession, and
took his seat in the front row Of chairs
Shortly afterward there passed down the
aisle penitent, blacker than the midnight
night eyes Of the sable goddess. Then there
came others who Brother Barnes observed
were careful TO choose seats as far away as
possible from the "dusky brother" Stop
ping right in the midst of the singing,
Brother Barnes said, "My dear friends,
you see that this colored brother has come
forward to confess Christ, and you are stay
ing away simply because you don't want to
sit beside him. Here he sits alone on this
front row, and all that have come forward
have been careful not 10 seat themselves near
him. Any man coming forward, despite
the prejudice against color, and taking q
seat by the side OF this colored brother will
be brave, noble man. / know that in the
eyes Of society there is difference between
you and him, but, dear friends, before God
this way; he cannot help his color, still he
has soul to save. If you stay away now it
will prove the success of the DEVILS de-
vice. The devil knows the Frankfort
people, and has taken this advan-
tage of their prejudices. All, my
friends, this same devil is a sharp
old fellow, but Pm going to get ahead Of
him. He does not think any one will have
courage to sit next this colored man. Friends
will you let the devil triumph? A brave
man, remember, is he who takes a seat along
side my celored friend, who has come for
ward to confess Christ and save his soul from
peril of eternal damnatiop"
At this Judge Hargis arose, and taking the
sable penitent by the hand, sat down in the
chair next TO him, Brother Barnes in the mean
while looking on approvingly and with a
quiet smile of happy satisfaction, exelaim-
ing: "The recording angel will note this on
the book of life, praise the Lordr'
Yesterday afternoon and last night the
confessions numbered forty-five for soul and
forty-two for body, making total of SI9 for
soul and 286 for body. The meetings of to-
morrow will be the last held in this city, for
on Monday Brother Barnes says he must 90 to
