Jordan Chavis, of Quincy, orator, parlia-

America. His name will 90 down in his

ever preached i'm the house of representa-
tives of the great state of Illinois. The
sermon delivered by him Sun day after
noon Sept, 9th, has been highly euiogiz-
ed by white and colored; it was eloquent
sublime and logical, and the citizens of,

and efficient pastor. Rev. Ii. III. eWltt,
of Jacksonville, late of the sOutf has al
ready made his mark in this state He is
man of rare ability, unravels tt Scrip

the rules of duty rest. No other sys-
tenn than that ofgospel truth can en-
brace the whole interests of man i'm ev-
cry Office condition, and relation of So
ciety,
But you may be surprised to learn
that certain churchmen i'm America
are asking the very same question
"What shall we do with the negroes?"
The time, they say, has not fully
come for these people to be partakers
with us in the blessings of christianity
which we now enjoy There is great
problem to be solved, we are told.
Some have begun to dispute the rights
of negro c1ergymen to minister to their
own people; some are contending that
clergymen Of another race are best
suited for this work, while others have
come out plainly with the opinion that
this race is not strictly moral or re-
ligious possibility.
/ am here not to advocate the claims
of the hundreds of A fro Americans,
who have distinguished themselves in
the domestic, social, and professional
world, but chiefly the claims of those
upon whom the Onus Of three centur-
les of decentralization is still pressing.
Be it understood that in point of cul-
ture and moral integrity, there areen
every community in the United .5tatsi
families of African descent whose lives
are so far removed from anything de-
grading or low, as to make the I'M
sophisticated assumption, that no good
can come out of the race, ridicuOusly
fabulous.
The education ofthe negroes cannot
be submitted to the state alone, since
the negro children, more then others,
need an education that will tlain the
moral Us well as the mental nature.
Such and education is admittedly best
for the white race; it is an absolute
necessity for the black. Hence the
need Of such a school as this one which
I have established in Cairo for the
youth Ofmy race. Here they are being
trained morally and mentally to meet
new possibilities, and to guard against
errors in theory as well as in actual
wrongs in practice. Such a work as
this makes one bold in appealing for
assistance that it may not be allowed
to languish and die for the lack of the
means of support.
| In conclusion, let me remind this vast
congregation that the Indifference of
christians to the needs of those who
are not yet in possession Of the blessings
which must come through the efforts
Of those who now enjoy them in church
will reflect back upon the work which
they, in their conception of charity,
may think most acceptable and pleas
ing to Christ. 1t is only for us to do
our simple duty to God and to our
neighbor, and all the rest will be add
ed unto us.
In that last great and awful day,
when the secrets of all hearts shall be
revealed, the common or unclean, it
will be found, will not be of any par
ticular race or color; while the reward
for well doing will be to all those who
are now running the christian race;
and who, like tss 81 'ss';a ;aul have finished
their course in faith.
