PROUD OF HIS COLOR.

r. H. Boyd said before the
colored Baptist conference at
Pine Bluff this week that
some Of the negroes were
trying to get away from their
people but they could not.
He declared that God had
put upon them a mark Of
distinction that they could
never get away from and
there was no need in trying.
"Some Of you want to be In
dians, Jews, Gpaniards, Ital-
lans, Mexicans, and every
thing else but negroes, but
your fiat nose, big feet and
kinky hair will always keep
in touch with the race" The
speaker said that many
names were being invented
to distinguish the race, but
he thought negro was good
enough for him, II am a

A few years ago, in one of
the southern towns Of New
York State, a man died who
had rot led a very good life,
says Truth. His family a
sisted that a sermon be
preached at the funeral, how
ever. and all due respect paid
the dead maa's memory. No
minister in town would Of
fciate, as all were seemingly
engaged. However, a re-
tired elder, rich and kindly
hearted, agreed to attend.
The house was filled with
neighbors, all rough and
mostly ignorant. A short
prayer was offered and a
hymn sung, then the elder,
folding his hands in front of
him, began: my friends, il
this man was a bad man
have said too much; if a good
man, ! have said enough.
Let us pray"
