A Change Of Base.

A large and constantly growing business has
compelled the removal of McKain & Murray,
successors to A. A. McKain, to more commo-
dious quarters at No 20 West Washington
street, in the Bates House Block, central and
prominent location. This firm which for some
time has done the largest business in Indiana in
monuments, and as manufacturers and dealers
in Scotch and New England GRANTEES, have es-
tablished a yard at Quincy, Mass, where they
are prepared to manufacture all the best New
England GRANTEES, and can insure their custom
ers the best work and material from first hands
In this way they save to their patrons the job
bers or manufacturers profit and do away with
the sub-letting of contracts to Eastern bidders.
This is an advantage that no Householder than
McKain & Murray-west of the Allegheny
mountains enjoys, and this advantage will
readily commend itself to all business minds,
The experience of this firm in building large
work and their facilities for so doing more than
equals that of any firm in Indiana, and are not
excelled by any house in the West.

Rev. Vim. H. Goler professor in Zion Yves
ley Institute spoke next, his subject being THE
Negroes Need" He did not think our duty to-
ward the negro was done when we invested him
with the rights of citizenship. After $50 years
of slavery, he demanded more than that at our
hands. He was to be educated in morals in
right living and all the moral faculties. And
this duty we owe to God and to one another, as
members of universal brotherhood.
Rev. William H. Weaver, also graduate of
Lincoln University, now pastor of the Madison
street Presbyterian Church, of Philadelphia,
spoke next, his subject being Lincoln University
a Necessity" The two preceding speakers, as
noted by Mr.. Mcleod, were Methodists, while
Mr.. Weaver was Presbyterian. He held that
the negro race was to be elevated bynegroes, and
to do this the negro must be educated Lincoln
University was the place where this educa-
ton could best be given. The colored man
was told that he could enter Princeton
or Union college to receive the higher education
that he demanded. The suggestion appeared
liberal one, but the negro learner is poor, and
where $3.50 year sufices to support a student
at Lincoln University, over 300 year would be
required at Princeton; besides which there are
advantages to be derived from being in a college
with students and professors OF ones own race,
and fellowship that could not be afforded in a
college where all but few Of the students were
white.
Rev w r. Bingham D. D., president of the
board of trustees of the university made a few
remarks The theological department of the
college is under the control of the General AS
sembly of the Presbyterian Church. but the
other departments are Independent. Many and
generous have been the contributions for the
support of the students. The late Governor
Morgan of New York, paid for the support of
several students, an ex-President of the United
States and the present President are contributors
to the support Of students.
Rev. Joseph Chester will soon return and
place the needs of the college before citizens
for the purpose of receiving such contribu-
tions as they may be able and willing to give.
