first night the receipts were 81. .29, the
second a$52. 90, the third $55. .25, the -ba-

Pilgrim Baptist Church.

God has promised to give power to the
faint lisa. ll-29. His word seems to say:
Be not wearied out by the labors thou
hast undertaken for my sake, nor let
trlbulations cast thee down, but let my
promise comfort and strengthen thee
under every circumstance. In our
covenant meeting we strove to claim
these precious promises. We sonfessed
our weakness, rendered thanks, and
pleaded for the comfort and power of
the Holy Ghost. Come in sometime and
see our Sunday school, it was never in
better condition, we have corps of eff
cient teachers and officers. They are
alive to the great need there is all around
US, of gathering in the children that at
tend no school. Our congregations are
all that we could wish. Now we seek
the Spiritual filings, for this we mean
to labor and pray, bearing in mind this
truism, 1--WE never rise by pulling others
down." The number of members at
tending communion is constantly on the
Increase. The attendance at the We'd
nesday evening Bible class and teachers
meeting, and our Friday prayer meeting
are all on the advance. We are praying
the Lord of the harvest to send the
showers of blessing. Don't fail to be at

Magnificent as is the outlook in tho

plenty of cheap ;and fertile lands. and

ST. PAUL.

The meeting of the st. Paul Choral
Club last Tuesday evening was very in
teresting as we'll as instructive. Prof.
Swaisey said he intended to make the
St. Paul Choral Club second to none in
the city, and this fact must be impressed
upon the people, that this is not Sec
tartan organization, and while large
amount of enthusiasm has been shown
on the part of our people4towards this
movement, still there has not been suf-
ticient to justify city with so large a
number of music loving Colored people
AZ St. Paul has, and if our people would
only make up their minds to build up
the race in musical as well as other in
tellectual: intelligence, we would succeed
far better in most Of our undertakings
than we do at present. The Professor
is very earnest in his efforts towards the
club and there is no doubt but that his
efforts will meet with fattering success.
The next meeting of the club will be
held. at Pilgrim Baptist church Tuesday

The widespread notice secured to the
movement of organizing National Afro
American League by the publishing of
the call for the same in the Associated
Press dispatches, will bear much fruit,
whether good or bad, time vial show.
The matter has been brought before the
country in an admirable manner. The
st. Paul, Pioneer Press of Wednesday
has the following to say Of the move
ment:
."It is possible that the desultory,
muttered threats OF the Colored race to
turn upon their oppressors are on the
eve of execution. For the first time, q
national organization of these people
with the avowed purpose Of enforcing
their rights-and contemplating, per-
haps, the settlement of few old scores
as well--is soon to spring into birth un.

gates from local leagues, to meet at
Nashville, Tenn, in January, WAS issued
IN New York yesterday. This conven-
tion is expected to organize the national
body referred to. It is not necessary
here to. discuss the social and political
status of the Negro. That is quite clearly
understood by every observant person.
But the, Colored men concerned in this
national: movement cannot be governed
by too great a degree of discretion.
They should beware how they handle
edged tools, Wise action at Nashville
may bear fruit in the enduring better
ment of the condition of the ex-slaves
and their descendants. One hasty, ILL

untold disaster q the class of citizens

Our LAWYER.

The other day while in the court house
on my way to: the public library Il over
heard some men talking, one said, ''Let
US go into Judge Brill's court and hear
the 'Colored lawyer address the jury,
they say he is immense" I concluded
to 20 there too. The room was we'll
filed and Judge tEgan was making the
argument for the prosecution when l
went in. His speech was strong and
forcible, so much so that began to feel
that Attorney McGhee had little chance
to win the case. Mr.. McGhee arose, for
a moment all was silence and suspense,
never before had Colored lawyer plead
before that court. Deliberately and
with an air ,et complete confidence in
the Justice OF Ibis cause, the young at Or
ney began his argument. For half an
hour he held curry and saudienc spell
bound. His sentences were terse,
forcible, and clear, his arrangement of
:srgumentative details seemed perfect
a1n all the more SO. because OF the occa-
>sional bursts of eloquence which accom-
panied them. The jury was out but ten
.migutes, and returned with a verdict
fully acquitting Mr.. McGhee's client.
The client was a white man charged
with a penitentiary ofense. After the
verdict, heard several very prominent
lawyers discussing the case. A Judge
said, "Mr. McGhee's trial of this case
was as skillful and fine as have eser
seen. and no young attorney 1t our bar
has brighter prospects" Mr.. McGhee
stands high an the respect and esteem
Of his brother attorneys. Already his

SO this is the explanation of the whole
