Sermon BY Few Zaoharlah Harrison, Pastor Of iha
Second free BAPTIST Church.

Rev. Zachariah Harrison, pastor of
the Second Free Baptist church. spoke
last evening on The Recent Lynching
Outrages in the South" After some
preliminary remarks in regard to the
early history of the negro I'm Africa, he
said in substance:
To-day more than 100000 colored
people In this country can read, and
more than 100000 are I'm the schools.
There are more than 10000 colored
teachers in the common schools OF the
South. The colored people own thou
sands OF dollars worth of taxable prop
erty. POSTMASTER Baker, was not killed
because he was educated, but because
his skin was black; for no other reason
The colored people do not ask to be
protected in the wrong. but they do ask
that. when a black man commits a
crime that he be tried, convicted and
punished according 10 law as a white
man who committed the same crime
would be. and not murdered by fiends.
as black men have been repeatedly In
the South"
In closing, Mr.. Harrison urged the
coloTed people to identify themselves
with their own race. TO obtain education
and 10 Eft themselves up. in order to be
able TO demand something by their own
character.
