BRETHREN.-Prof. Booker 7. Wash
ington, colored. whose splendid elo

sense astonlshed the vast audience to
which he spoke at the recent opening
of the Atlanta Exposition, concludes a
letter to the World as follows:
1.-THE hand as well as the head of ev-
cry black boy and girl in the South
should be trained to useful occupation.
We want to make ourselves SO skillful
that we will be Indispensable. No one
cares much for man with empty hand,
pocket and head, no matter what his
color is. Beginning from to day let the
negro register an oath in Heaven that
from henceforth he will cast his lot
materially civilly and morally with the
South, that he will cultivate the closest
friendship with the Southern white
man; that when he can he will vote for
and with the Southern white man; that
he will praise his good deeds, and that
he will in dignifed and sensible man
ner tell the white man of his wrongs to
the negro. And am more convinced
to day than ever that if this course is
followed there will be soon not only a
new South but new negro"

Missionary Work.

| In discussing the missionary move
ments and methods on hand to propa-
gate the Christian religion in what we
call heather lands. the New York
Evening Post interposes some serious
| objections to the conflicting methods
which some of the missionaries adopt
to enforce their doctrines upon the
foreign element that they seek to con
vert.
lone of these deceptive errors" says
the Post, lis the practice of holding
one kind of language in public. and
another in private, about the condition
and fate of the heather. The old
phrases about "a lost world" and
annually to perdition because of never
having heard the Gospel, are still used
| in missionary appeals and addresses,
though they no longer represent the
real beliefs of the church or of the
yery men who use them. They are
inherited phrases which our grand
fathers made believe they believed,
but which theologians nowadays do
not believe, or else take in nom
natural sense. No great knowledge OF
| the teaching and private conversation
of eminent Presbyterian divines is
needed to convince one that the doc
trine of the damnation of the heather
| is no longer held by them. Some OF
the stiffest and mcst orthodox of their
| theologians, even of their theological
professors, have been known, when
pressed by troubled inquirers, to fall
back on pious willingness to "leave
the heather in Gods hand" to trust in
1.-The uncovenated mercies," and SO on.
Of course, the Westminster creed
teaches most explicitly the damnation
of the heather, but expert theologians
can easily enough get around those
clauses by appealing to the others,
which magnify the divine power to
save men "when and where and how
He will"
1.-The truth is, the age makes men
tolerant in spite of themselves; In
spite of their protests that they are
not. All churches have their form OF
the Catholic doctrine of salvation by
belonging to the pale of 1.-THE invisible
church." and from that pale it is al
most impossible to get theologian,
on cross-examination, to maintain that
any particular person, savage or civil
lied, is hopelessly excluded. 1t may
fearlessly be asserted that, even where
| the doctrine of heather damnation is
| SGill predcuous lSuoInAIiy VI PoAAouo
torily, it is no longer received by con-
gregations, and no longer figures
among the really powerful motives
that lead people to contribute to mig
sions. Those motives are now almost
purely humanitarian. The education.
al, the medical, the civilizing work of
missionaries, which in many countries
has undoubtedly been wonderfully
| hanaficant and fruitful-this is the
great argument for missions. 1t is on
this that the emphasis should be put,
and we are sure that it would mean
dollars in the mission treasures If a
franker stand were taken upon this
rational and practical basis. Missions
would get on better, as most people do,
by taking one world at time"
After copying the above the Lynch
burg Neaos adds this brief comment
"There is lot of good sense in these
remarks of the Post, and they will, no
doubt, do good wherever read"

An Old Negro Cuts His Throat.

The Charlottesville Progress of
Saturday afternoon says
William Walker, an aged colored
man, suffering from CHASTITY wound
in his throat, it is presumed inflicted
by his own hand, was brought to the
city about o'clock this afternoon, by
Mr.. Noble Snead.
The old man lives with his daughter,
Isabella Tyler and her husband, on
Mr. Simeon Marshall's place, near that
of Mr.. Snead's, not far from Simeon.
The deed was committed some time
during Thursday night, and was not
discovered until next morning, when
the old man came down stairs, the
wound gaping open. He seemed to be
dazed, and could give no intelligent
account as to how he came by the
wound.
Upon investigation, it was found
that the old fellow had procured a
razor. with which he apparently de-
liberately cut his throat. The weapon
was found upon the bed in his room.
The wound, a very deep one, ex-
tends downward from the chin several
inches, the razor penetrating the
wind pipe. 1t is not necessarily fatal,
but it is that the mans age is against
his recovery.
Tyler and his wife did not know
what to do, and became frightened.
Finally Mr.. Snead, by whom he was
employed last year, came to their
assistance and summoned a doctor
from Charlottesville.
Walker has been in bad health for
some time. A commission of lunacy
was held this afternoon, and he was
adjudged insane. Later he was car
ried to the Piedmont Hospital, where
he was refused admittance.
At this writing Mr.. Snead still has
the unfortunate man on his hands,
and is at loss how to dispose of him.

Judge Tourgee, who is always hav-
ing much to say about the negro in the
South and the total depravity of the
Southern people, has lately been
keeping a record. he says, of the num-
Der Of lynchings by Southern mobs in
the last seven months, and he makes it
out 1876 up to September 80 last. He
does not say a word, however, about
how many brutal outrages have been
perpetrated upon the persons of help
less women and children in the same
length of time and by the same fiends
that have been lynched. That is a
matter that seems to be of little or no
consequence to him in making out his
estimate of crimes. The negro's neck
must be protected regardless of the
horrible and unmentiOnable crimes
that may be committed upon our
women.-Lynchbu1g NeaOs.
