The Rev. NJ. NJ. Eann, colored. pres
ident of the American National Bap-
tist convention was introduced as the
man who occupied the highest posi-
ton in his race, and that he would oc-
cupy but a minute Of the time OF the
convention. When the minute was
up DR.. Vann said he hated to let his
audience 90, for he seldom had such
an opportunity. daughter He said
his people were intensely Christian
and intensely Baptist, and that what
they lacked in knowledge and sancti-
fed intelligence, they proposed to
make up in zeal. The white Baptists,
he believed, needed to exercise more
zeal. Since the emancipation procla-
nation, out of 100000 colored peo.
pie liberated then. million and half
had been brought into the Baptist
Church, while out Of fifty million
white people, after 200 years OF work,
but a few more have united with the
same church. DR.. Eann created a
deep and favorable impression upon
the convention and was listensd to a
quarter of an hour.
