Last Nights Meeting I'm State Street

Last Nights Meeting i'm State Streef
Church-Addresses by Professor Stewart
and Others.
On account of the inelement weather small
audience gathered in the State Street Caurcn
last evening. After the opening services, rev
W. P. Fisher of Brunswick made brie1 ad-
dress. He was followed by Rtsv MIR.
Blanchard, whose remarks, were ,sarp'est'
eloquent and stirring. He was anxi ous 70
have Portland build the first hall in tre LII
IBERIA Agricultural and Industrial College, and
he would not believe that Psof. Stewards p
peal would fail to move men and women hen
into generous, practical sympathy.
Prof. T. McCants Stewart addressed the
meeting On Liberia and Congo In African
redemption. He psid graceful tribute to
New England's love of humanity and practi-
cal work among the down-trodden and lowly.
After dwelling on the wondarful interest now
taken in the Congo country and people, and
showing how Liberian civilization and educa-
tion will reach and influence large part OF
Western Africa, the Professor said the Boston
and New York boards have been long engage ed
in this work.
For twenty years th6 College has been in op-
GRAFTON, but its aim has been to high. 1t has
been trying to teach the classics higher matn-
ematcs, etc., but from the nature of the pop
ulation only few youth were found prepared
for such instruction. The country needs men
and women educated for teachers in the COM
mon schools, farmers, skilled and intelligent
laborers. To meet this want the College is
being removed up towards the interior of the
country to 8 thousand acres of land donated
by the government. Coffee is to be cultivated
and out of the profits of this industry the insti-
tuition in time will become self-supporting.
Merchants say it is the best coffee in the
world and there eau be fonnd q ready market
for all that may be exported from Liberia:
Then the trades are to be taught. The general
police of the College will be TO make the girls
cook, wash, sew and do general work Tor the
boys on the inside; and the boys labor for the
girls on the outside, in the shops and on the
iarm,-ail earning their living and thus grow
ing seli-reliant. We are now asking only Tor
the plant We need $l5 ,000 We ask here
for only $1,000, to be put at once into what
will be known as Portland Hall. Prof. Stewart
ended with an earnest appeal, quoting Joseph
Cook, President McCosh, DR.. Peabody of Har-
ward, and DR.. Hill, who have invoked upon
this work the generosity OF the people and the
blessn of God.
Dr. Blanchard before pronouncing the bene-
diction expressed the hope that moneys,
checks or pledges would be sent at once TO
