MANY years ago Henry w.
Grady, of Georgia, started the dis
cusslon as what to do with the Ne
gro, and others haye taken up this
question all along, while senator
Morgan, of Alabama. never tires,
his famous speech in 81, was to
appropriate 50.0OOO,OOO, but now,
he aims to question the constitut-
ionality of the fourteenth and fifth
teenth amendments to the Federal
Constitution, which amendments
are the only foundation upon
which the American Negroes fiee-
dom rest and as a stepping stone
tc what seems inevitable, many
States are passing all sorts of class
Legislation, to check the political
rights granted in these amend
ments, and many other PROPOSE

North and South on this question.
But that the time is growing ripe
for fuller discussion, and we
hope for the better.

AT meeting Monday of committee

That the term, relation of the

EDITOR REPORTER -
DEAR SIR: In answer to an article
clipped from an exchange said to be
the speech of Booker T. Washington,
IN his Emancipation Address in re-
CARDS to our friends in the North. We
would say, like him that all eur white
friends are not in the North, for many
of them are in the South
since the war, place where they
were not allowed to come before the
war. We are free to admit also that
many white man W h o even owned
slaves did not own them because they
wanted them, and always thought it
wrong to oppress them, but it is to be
hoped that the gifted orator will not
be so unkind as to forget the many
friends of the North who gave their
time, their talant, their thousands of
money; and some of them even their
lives for the emancipation of of the
Negro. Those who toiled are as fol-
lows, viz: John Brown, Wendal Phil
lips, Garrison, Grealy Il etc., He says
as the Negro came to this country at
the earnest solicitation and expense OF
the white man, He would be un-
greatful to run away and leave him
now And he says we are not going
to do it, We readily agree thatwe
or great many of the Negro
population will always be here, even
when Gabriel blows his horn, but We
fail to see the solicitation as Mr..
Washington, sees it. We ask him to
note if he pleases the first solicitation
at James Town, Va, and all such SOL
icitatiOn; and then we ask could any
person consider it ungreatful for the
Negro to 60 to some place where there
were not such solicitations? And as to
the expense of bringing the Negro to
the South. We would ask what was
these expenses made for? Were they
not made for the sake of commodity,
and gain to the white man? And were
not the Negro bought and sold, fast
as so many horses or cattle? Then we
ask where is the point of lingreatful-
ness? Hence you see there is much to
be forgiven on one hand; aud much to
be forgotten on the other! We are
glad to say however, that the better
thinking Negro has forgiven the
whita mar; ard the better thinking
white man has forgotten the Negro as
a slave! G.. w. LOWE

Strength in Stiffness.

Those who make the most noise
in the world are not those who have
the most power in the world. Quiet
influences are the potent forces in
Gods esteem, and even in mans
sight. AS Aubrey Moore says,
Great men think : while ordinary
men talk. Great saints pray. oldi
nary men preach. High sounding
words and snowy acts may impose
upon the few, but it is silent effort
which moves the world" The
truth is not held popularity yet
Elijah learned it when he was div
inely shown that God was not to
be recognized in the whirlwind, the
earthquake, or the fire, as he could
be in 'the still small voice" Even
this worlds wisdom testiies to the
truth in the adage, Deep waters
run stillest 1t is Gods voice
which says, Be still and know
that. [ am God
Cropping in the darkness when
one is not sure as to the way, is
neither pleasant nor safe. Walking
in the light, with sight and reason
to guide, is not always sure; one
may even then err or fail. But to
walk by faith, instead of by sight
is to be surely in the right path for
one who sees and trusts Him who
is invisible. Sunday School Times

THE PREACHING THAT TELLS.
1t is not easy for some men to preach
and many realizing the difficulty OF
being fresh and acceptable to the peo-
pie when they try in their way to
preach the old gospel, are sometimes
tempted to try something else. Be
sure that God is wise. What he has
The reporter., 1900-02-01

sent to the world is the best he had to
give. Love prompted the gift, so he
chose the most precious, his only be-
gotten Son. The cause demanded the
most effective remedy for sin. He sent
the gospel. So much depended upon
preaching that he fell upon the wisest
plan, that of choosing men from a
mong men and sending them to their
fellow-men with the message. This is
the gospel; they are the preachers.
Hear what DR.. Joseph Parker, the
greatest London preacher since Spur
geOn, has to say He is the leading
minister of the
world:
Looking back upon all the chequered
way, | have to testify that the only
preaching which has done me good is
the preaching of a Sayious who bore
my sins in his own body on the tree:
and the only preaching in which God
has enabled me to do good to others
is the preaching in which l have held
up my Saviour, not as sublime ex-
ample, but as the Lamb of God that
taketh away the sins of the world.
