against colored men as monsters
by such papers as the Post do
more to create race hate than do
the appeals for justice made by
colored men. The denouncing
of eolored men and women, who
do not desire that crime shall go
unpunished for holding up to the
sunlight the wiekednessof lynch.
ing has been one of the. features
of the Washington Posts madness
on the Negro question.
The Post speaks of indescrib-
able crimes that provoke lynching.
Such assertions are made only
for the promotion of race hate.
The truth is, Negroes are lynched
in the South for any and every
thing that is alleged against them
as offensive to the whites. The
Newman outrage furnishes cases
in point, Strickland was strung up
and mutilated for no offense at
all; another Negro was given one
hundred lashes merely to crafty
the worse than savage love of
cruelty by Newnan's best
citizens" Why does the Post
ignore the truth1 So eonspic-
uous paper as the Post should
have character above the base
insinuations which prevade its
columns in regard to the outrage
which has sent a chill Of horror
through the civilized world.
There is absolutely no evidence
that the colored people of this
land make common cause with the
assailants of women. There is,
however, abundant evidence that
the white people in the South
have enacted laws which protec-
ted them in their assaults upon
the chastity of colored women.
We have never seen word OF
regret for such wickedness in the
columns of the Post or any sign
of repentance on the part of the
Southern whites. Mo- Colored
people detest the crime just as
much and more because their own
people have been the victims OF
the unbridled and unpunished
lust of the white man. aEvTs III

ON Lynehing. and Condemns the Grim
InaI as Well as Lynch Law.
BY wire from Atlanta. Ga. TO the Trlbur .
May 18th.

In sermon delivered here
Bishop Gaines. of the African
Methodist Episcopal church,
South, voiced his sentiments
against the lynching law, yet con-
demning in severest terms the
Negroes who commit the crime of
rape. 81 want to say he said,
that he who apologies for the
crime of rape or has any sym
pathy for the inhuman monster
who commits this crime, be he
black or white, is an enemy to
God and a traitor TO his race. In
all the catalogue of crime | can
imagine no deed more dastardly,
no fend more foul and internal,
than the beast who would outrage
virtue and take from a good
woman the treasure of her honor.
Perhaps il man were charged
with rape and ! had an X-ray
from heaven turned on him so
that knew he was guilty, would
be willing to turn him over to the
mob"

in Sunday Times.
In its missionary and educa-
tional work, the Presbyterian
Church has not failed to see the
needs of the colored people in
the South. Its work among
the colored people was started
shortly after the Civil war, and
has increased to very large pro-
portions each subsequent year.
Thousands of dollars are an
nually appropriated by this de-
nomination for the education
of the Negro; teachers and
missionaries are sent South
every year for the purpose of
enlightening our people, that
they may become more intel
ligent and better citizens. A
large number of schools and
colleges for the colored people
have also been established and
maintained by the Presbyte-
rian Church. Among the most
prominent of these institutions
are Biddle University, of Char
lotte, N. c., and Scotia Semina-
ry, also of North Carolina.
The property of Biddle is
vested in a board of trustees,
and a clause in the charter
makes it the perpetual heritage
of the colored people in con-
nection with the Presbyterian
/ Church. The school owns 13
buildings, the main building
being built at cost of $4,000.
The school campus includes
60 acres of land situated one
mile west of Charlotte. The
grounds and buildings are val
ued at $125,000.
The students at Biddle are
taught the various trades, and
are being educated to rely upon
themselves and become self
supporting. Among it's large
number of graduates, Biddle
has sent out about 75 who are
active ministers of the colored
Presbyterian Church. The
spiritual feature of this school
is very strongly emphasized.
Both the faculty and students
appreciate the important part
played by the spiritual tone of
the University life; and, owing
to the great need among our
people for educated ministers,
earnest efforts are made every
year to induce new students to
enter upon a spiritual life. The
religious influence of Biddle
is so strong that but very few
unconverted students are in
the college classes, and it is
reported that the close of each
year sees over seven-eighths of
the students professed follow
ers of Christ.
The colored race is indebted
to the Presbyterian Church for
the existence of this great in
stitution of learning. And
certainly our gratitude to this
denomination for its generous
consideration to the colored
race cannot be expressed in
words. 1t can best be shown
by the results which follow the
lives of the young men and
women who graduate from
these institutions.
This work is much needed; it
means the salvation of the race.
Every dollar spent in the edu-
cation of the Negro is an in
vestment whose returns will
undoubtedly enure to the bene-
| fit of the whole nation. The
wisdom of expending money
for the education of the colored
race has been fully justified by
the advancement fhat the race
has made, during the last thirty
years; and much to the credit
Of our people, theyare all eager
