The Washington bee., 1886-12-11

"The Negro Pulpit" brought
out an appreciative audience last
Thursday evening at the I'd Bap-
tist church. On motion of Mr..
Maxfeld, Prof. A. S. Richardson
was elected critic OF the associa
ton, whose business it will be to
review all papers read and speech
es made before the society. The
president dismissed the old COM
mittee on constitution and ap-
pointed Messrs. A q. Lenard, A.
S. Richarson and Maxfeld. The
chair introduced the essayist of
the evening, MIR. Geo. Ell. Rich
ardson who read a paper on ''The
Negro Pulpit" which was an ex-
cellent specimen of literary ink,
well delivered and elected fire.
quent applause.
Mr.. Richardson said the subject
was calculated to draw so hardly
upon the prejudices of people who
have fixed notions concerning it
that it would likely provoke mis-
constructions and bitter contro-
yersy. He referred to Christianity
as embracing all virtue and blend
ing with nature and history. The
ends of Christianity are thwarted
by ignorance and superstition
The true minister is one whose
natural gifts are suited to the task
before him-possessing the Chris
tian graces together with higher
intellectual power. The aim OF
his sermon should be to reveal
truth however distasteful and ex-
pose error however pleasing the
garb in which it is enrobe1.
The sixty-five thousand minis
ters would be the most powerful
influence at work among men if
they reached the standard of the
approved minister. The essayist
paid a glowing tribute to Chris
tianity and the men engaged in
the work of the redemption of
mankind, but insisted that in the
ministry the tares and wheat grow
together, and that many fall below
the standard of the minister. The
habit of preaching from Revela-
t ons or Ezekiel does not meet the
practical wants of men in every
day life. More attention should
be paid to the unfolding of the
simple truth tor the purpose of
making men better. Games of
chance at church fairs, and excur-
sions should be discouraged
Happy homes should be eneourag-
ed by the ministers as the family
is the unit OF all society. The
essayist contrassed the old school
of fanatic and ignorant preachers
with the progressive ministry and
closed with an appeal for a good,
wise, sagacious, diplomatic, per-
sistent, brave, vigilant and en-
lightened ministry.
The first speaker was Rev. j.
FL. Anderson, who fully agreed
with MIR. Richardson and thought
he should have gone further.
Prot. johnson said that he
thought the paper was very con-
servative and that the colured
ministers were as morally good as
the whites.
Mr.. I'll. Price Williams thought
the Negro pulpit was serious
thing to consider, yes said he a
very serious thing. He gave an
illustration of the Negro pulpit
which created great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Chase thought the Negro
pulpit of to day, that is the old

TALK WITH THE VOTERs.l

[From the jackson, Fla, Times Democrat
Mr.. Holman has had an experience
that will be duplicated by a great many
other congressman when they get away
from the fetid atmosphere of Washing
ton and learn what their constituents
really think. During the entire session
Holman had posed as an anti-adminis-
tration man, and was a confederate OF
RandalPs in the recent insidious assault
upon the civil service law. Last week
he went home to Indiana to make sure
of a denomination, and came back to
Washington declaring that no man
within his memory, except Lincoln and
Grant, has taken such q hold upon the
people as President Cleveland. Speak.
ing of the contest in 1884, he said: elf
any democrat is to be elected it will be
Mr.. Cleveland. If he continues to give
the people an honest and faithful admin
istration, winning the confidence OF the

at the bar, he boldly confronted the
Prince, and, being a small man, looked

ing out his reply in the little mans
ear: "What have You been doing?'
