w. Dunjee took for his text Zephaniah
chap. 2 Sv. Il have heard the re-
proach of Moab, and the revilings of
the children of Ammon, whereby they
have reproached my people, and
magnified themselves against thoir
border" He began by saying 1 have
no objections of preaching on all SUBJ
lects touching vital questions of moral
worth the pulpit must educate from q
christian standpoint while the press
educates on political matters etc. He
spoke of the children Of Israe being
cut off for ten generations for their in.
hospitality. Christ was taken car care of
in Egypt.
When God prepared the Jews for g.
great work He enslaved Thorn to tho
Colored people four hundred years.
During that time they were prepared
to enter the grandest mission of the,
worlds history. He spoke of the i'm
portance of reading the Jewish history
in connection with his subject. The,
| case of the Jews is analogous to the case
OF the colored people said he. He then
told the story of Joseph being sold into
Egypt etc. The advent of the Colored
people into the Uuited States is the
most marvellous thing III the history OF
the world. Two hundred and ninety
SIX years ago a Dutch vessel landed in
Jamestown, Va, with twenty illiterate,
| uncouthed Africans in it.. Since that
! time what has been revealedS The
1lgures that the London Review and
Prof. Gillian gives between them. if
true makes this question truly wonder
full. For two hundred years theColored
people have endured prosecutions. the
blackestof inhuman treatment etc. and
it has resulted most wonderfully. God
is in it. He thought the Scandinavians
would rule the Northwest within thirty
years, and said the Negro blood will
| rule the South within the same period
OF time. With ten states occupied and
controlled by the Colored man-What
IS the responsibility of their leaders at
this time. He then spoke of the advent
OF the Bolored people from the dark
ages OF slavery into the lives of free
! men. There were four millions of
slaves turned out at the close of the
war free men. said he. He then gave
some figures on the increase aud do
crease OF the Colored and white people
OF America. Prof. Gillian, he said
gives the following figures the pro ratio
increase OF the white people from 1890
to 1880. In ten years an estimate of.
~ per cent with deduction of 10 Der
cent for influx of immigration, leaving
an increase of 10 per cent. The North
having 1t per cent over the South Now
the increase of the Colored people of
the South for the same time has been
80 per cent with better homes. clothes.
educatlons etc. with the next decade
an increase of 50 per cent. He spoke
OF some saying there has got to be g.
race war to Kill the Colored people off,
but time will tell, he said. He then
gave some figures based upon the CEN
sus OF 1880 as follows: InlssO there
were iorty-two millions Of white people
In l9lo there will be eighty-four
millions, in 1850 one hundred and sixty
nVe millions. In 1880 there were six
mlilon Colored people in America, in
1907 there will be twelve millions. in
1920, twenty-four millions; in 1910, for
ty-eight millions; in 1850, niuety-six
millions; in 1880, one hundred and
ninety-two millions. The estimate of
Colored people today in the United
States is thirty millions. with an in
crease OF 40 per cent per decade which
II multiplied by three will leave us
one hundred millions of Colored people
IN the Western countries. He spoke of
the prejudice against the black man

IeXas alone they own over twenty
millions dollars OF property. We have
meeting houses ETC., all over this land.
Ii the Colored people are christians
how can the Anglo-Saxon elbow him
OFF? Their religion is false and it must
60 by default. He spoke Of the robbers
OF theSouth, he said there were church
members who would have pass books
to give out to the COlored people and
charge them TRIBE prices for everc
thing they got. The ColOred peonlc
have bought the South. and paid for it.
ne said, they have bought every foot of
land in the South by their labor. He
dwelt some time on murderous treat
ment theColored people receives in tho
south. He spoke Of the appointment of
aColorod young man in aSouthern post
office when all the other attaches IF
the Office left, is this religion? No. the
whlteman's, religion is at fault. HE
gave other examples of the Injustice OF
the white man of the South and said
that public sentiment OF the North,is
with the white murderers of the south
IN cheating and numbering the black
men in the South, and il they are not

away the Anglo Saxon.
Our conditions will not be hettaraa
unless we better ourselves philosophi-
cally and christianity. He showed
three sources of increase for e(,oiora1
people to where therewas but one fortho
Anglo Saxon. He said if Colored mar.
