mon commemorative of the seventy-tfth an
niversary Of the American Colonization Society.
There an unusually large congregation
present, though there were very few colored
people.
DR.. Bartlett, in his address, said: "The
American Colonization Society has been
guided by the Bible since its organization,
seventy-five years ago. There are people who
consider the society back number.
Il have seen it stated that this society ought
to be looked into by the authorities; that i. is
dangerous to American institutions. Its man
ayers have been charged with many shortcom-
ings, and il has been asserted that the orGani-
Zation has not accomplished and never will
what 1t seeks; that the colorcd people az free
men are failure. The plan for sending s. 000.-
GEO people to Africa is locked upon as absurd.
Notwithstanding these assertions, 10000 people
have been landed here in one day, 80 great are
the facilities Of transportation in this age Of
progress
DIR. Bartlett. in the course of his Sermon
said: I'VE should see that there is a republic
in Africa protected against all powers. The
question il asked. Why should the white man
be interested in this question: and l answer
because our fathers were shareholders and We
