the Federal court. White supremacy
in the South depends on keeping the
Negro in ignorance.

The Terre Haute Und.) literary club
has been startled by paper from the
Rev. DR.. Hickman, pastor OF the First
Methodist Church, who presented long
array of arguments in favor of solving
the Negro problem in the south by
amalgamation of the the two races, the
abrogation Of laws prohibiting mis-
cegenation and the intermarriage of
the two races. DIR. Hickman stated
that he presented the argument for
what it was worth. Born Virginian,
and himself stakeholder at the break
ing ont of the war, the idea was
naturally repnlsive to. him. but he
expressed the conviction that, despite
our prejudices, the problem is destined
to be solved in just this way, and he
contended that mixed races have in the
past produced the strongest people
He laid down. as fundamental prin-
ciple, Jhis: "a mixed race in compe-
tition with pure race, other conditions
being equal, will be the intellectual
and physical superiors." There Is no
natural repulsion between the races.
White and colored children play to-
gether with perfect freedom. The
repulsion, he thinks, comes later by
education and surroundings. 1t is due,
he contends, largely to former condi-
tions of servitude of the Negro and, he
thinks, is not found in Europe. The
Negro has many traits which in ANAL
gamation improves the white man.

IAN Able Lecture on Armenia.

Rev. e. P. Allen of the Vaughan street
church, who was born in Harpoot. Ar
menia, lectured at the Second Parish
church last evening on the Armenian
question. Want of space prevents the
giving of an extended report of his leo
ture which was at all times interesting
and at times thrilllngly SO. He began
by giving a hurried sketch of the life and
teachings OF the false prophet. and then
touched on the Armenian question, MAX
ing frequent reference to large maps of
the Turkish empire. He said that while in
his Judgment the Sultan is directly re-
sponsible for the killing of the Chris
tians, he does not believe that it would
be possible at this time to wipe the Tur-
kish empire out of existence, and said
that the Sultan can no more be relied
on to keep his promise than mad dog
can be relied on not to bite if unclaimed.
He is in the. view Of Mohamedans their
prophet king, and the firing of a single
gun in a religious war would be the sig
nal for the rising Of 300, 600, 600 of people
for a war Of determination The Sultan
can be restrained, however, and he be-
lieves that the United States should ioin
in demanding that every one of the 20
Armenian provinces be administered by
foreigners. He made an eloquent appeal
for help for the 500, 600 suffering, starry
ing, homeless Christians of Armenia
Rev. r. G. Hack said that Portland
will join Boston in sending financial
assistance to the suffering Christians of
Armenia.

salvation. Men are not born depraved,
but they are born with evil tendencies.
A man may begin new life at once,
but the work OF regeneration may re-
quire more than a life time and may
stretch over into the spiritual world there
to be completed. The fact that a man
las been converted does not mean that
hs has been taken from hell in to heaven,
but that be has stopped in his journey
to hell. The life and joy of heaven is do
ing good in the love of the Lord, and the
time will come when the love of the
Lord twill cover the earth as the water
covers the sea-" and when no man will
say to his neighbor, Know ye the
Lord?" for all will know him from the
least even to the greatest.
The address was a very able and
thoughtful production of which the above

She emphasized the great need of study

Plans for the Work of Rescue to Arme-

Washington, December 14.-At the
headquarters Of the American National

busily engaged in making arrangements
for mobilizing the skilled staff that will
initiate the relief work in Turkey as soon
as the requisite guarantees Of hearty sup
port are forthcoming. These workers are
now scattered Throughout the country
engaged in the various occupa lions
which sustain them when no great ca
lamity requires their presence. Most of
them are already aware that their SER
vices will be required in desolated Ar
menia during the next six or, eight
months, and without exception, they
have notified Miss Bar ton tha6 they are
arranging private affairs for a possible
years absence and will be ready to share
with her the dangers and responsibilities
involved in the greatest of relief move
mepts. The preparations for the present
undertaking are necessarily attended with
greater elaboration and caution than
those hitherto carried out under Miss
Barton's guidance as in no former expert
ence OF the organization has it been neo-
essary to leave this country and operate
far from its principal sources of encour-
agement. This, however, does not deter
the executive officers of the American

the cordial support OF all the National Red
Cross organizations acting under the con-
vention of Geneva. In fact cablegram
