The Sunday School Union convened
with the First Baptist Church Sunday
School last Sunday afternoon. 1t was a
grand affair. The address of Supt. ].
A. Bowler was exceedingly fine. He
chose as his subject: I'D rather be in
slavery to-day. He said that he heard
these words fall from the lips of an old
sister few days previous. In his dis
course he urged the young men to have
some aim in life, and referred to the
editor of the Richmond PLANET as a
precedent. The Tharps' Quartette and
the chorus from Ninth Street made a
marked impression. The Fifth Street
and First Church Sunday-Schools we're
represented by two excellent speakers
The essay Of Miss Madeline White was
also fine. We are glad the young peo-
pie are coming to the front. The next
Union will convene with the Fourth
Baptist Sunday School

Rev. Graham Speaks.

alexander Leader and Clipper
The oration of Rev. Wesley F. Gra-
ham was one of the finest ever deliver
ed in this city Rev. Graham pointed
out to the young people the great
necessity of improving their time 1t
is now time for the young colOred men
of the country to arouse from the stool
of do nothing and to exert themselves
and try to be men. Men of character,
men of influence.
Continuing the speaker advised the
young people to get an education and
by all means get an industrial educa-
tion as it is the only safe means for a
livelihood in the approaching future
We regret that space will not allow US
to print more of the popular preachers
remarks and especially "How to Get
There. The only way to get there is
to attend the lectures of Rev Graham
Suffice it to say that the people of Alex
andria will long remember Rev Gra-
ham and his eloquent, logical and in
structive address. At the conclusion
| of the lecture Revs Henry,Clay Robin
son, r. II. Porter and w. f. Graham
| heartily endorsed the plans of the
Alexander Primary. Normal and Train
ing School and urged the people to SUI
| port the Managers.

My Dear Friend -
Your thought
fulness in sending your issue Of March
2nd, is highly appreciated. The extra
sheet in which is shown in various
ways the life of the "PLANET" is alto
gether honorable to you and your band
of faithful workers.
The reading in the paper itself, es-
pecially your burning editorial is just
as we should expect from one who was
never trained in the school of being
oVer-mindful of his words in denOunc-
ing vice. The feature of all most
hopeful TO me, however, is that you en-
dure.
Established in 1883, twelve year,
have passed, long while in the life OF
a colOred paper, in view of the cOnsti.
tuency such papers have.
can only congratulate you anC
pray that your shadow may never bC
less.
God bless you.
Yours Fraternally,
BENJ. TUCKER Tanner.
