1t affords me great pleasure to say
that regard President Grandson as
having one of the lest minds have
ever met, highly developed and well
furnished witha wide range of scholarly
attainments and general information.
He is a man of remarkable force and
platform speaker of great power
and eloquence. He has created the
most profound impression and the
greatest enthusiasm in some of the
most intelligent audiences of theNorth
and the South. He would be a marked
man anywhere.-Rev.E E. L. Parks, ID.
ID, Prof. of Systematic Theology,
Cannon Theological Seminary, At

This distinguished negro is easily in
the front ranks of the great colored
men of the nation, and is still forging
ahead. We have no hesitancy in Civ
ing it as our opinion that he is one OF
the most intellectual men of the race.

Prof. Grandson is already so well
known to Atlanta's audiences that his
appearance was greeted with applause
He gave, in most happy manner, a
masterful oration, showing profound
thought, discriminating diction, and
fine rhetoric. His admirable use of
the appropriate qualities and slides of
the voice in great variety, his natur-
alness, and his deep feeling, helped
to make him eloquent.-Atlanta Con-
stitutiOn.
Rev. c.. N. Grandson is an excel
lent speaker and thoroughly acquaint-

Rev. G. N. Grandson, of North
Carolina, is a genuine Ethiopian, tall
and erect, and his skin is as black as
/ darkest night. Mr.. Grandson is a
deep thinker and an eloquent speak
er. He is truly a wonderful speaker.
Applause in Methodist church on
Sunday night is something almost un
heard of, vet last night the applause
was frequent and loud. 1t was we'll
deserved .-Newbug Daily Register.
Mr.. Grandson, an African of pure
blood and a man of fine presence and
address, followed Mr.. Thirkield i'll a
speech which is conceded to be one OF
the memorable deliverances of the
session. Northwestern Christian Ad-
vocate, Chicago.
President Grandson measured fully
up to the expectations of the hosts OF
friends he had already won, and to
the high reputation he has already
gained in other places, as Atlanta,
Ga. in his home in North Carolina, at
Ocean Grove, N. j., Boston Mass. land
all other places where he has spoken.
For clearness of conception, concise
ness of diction, with wonderful com
mand of pure English, he has few
equals. No outline can do justice to
the grand address, not even a full re-
port, for the "presence" of man
well proportional, with muscular de-
velopment to be envied, full six feet
and 2O5 pounds and bearing and digni
ty that iustifies the full belief that he
is of princely lineage-CharlstonNew'
and Courier.
