When the news flashed over the wires
that Gen. Lawton had fallen in battle
in the Philippine Archipelago, fund
of nearly 500, 900 was almost instantly
raised to prepare home for his widow
and orphans. The members of the
Metropolitan Baptist Church who have
listened to the counsel, who have heard
the eIoquence and who drank the wis
dom Fl ON the pulpit where DR. johnson
has labored SO long could do no aobler
thing than to organize some movement
to present him a home or at least to
redeem his old home. We are CRATE
full people apd more than once this
idea has been suggested. The Colored
American takes pleasure in making the
suggestion and will CO. o.operate in any
way with the members of the church
or those who desire TO lead in the move
ment. DR.. Johnson deserves much at
the hands of his congregation and bis
friends.

Der of people in this community who
had known him so long, so we'll and so
favorably. He was indeed leader in

Gen. Robert Smalls, and for the past
ten or fifteen years he has been asso

He began his public career in South

of the depart u ents for the various ser

arranged study for the pastor. Like
all churches and race enterprises it had
its beginning IN an humble way and
while the building and grounds are of
great value the membership has 80 rail-
lied to its pastor thst 1t will not be
many years before the church will be
entirely out Of debt. DR.. Johnson, its
pastor, is making herculean efforts to
liqudate the indebtness ofthe church; !;
and as an example of his success it
need only be stated that from Novem-
Der '9S to November '99 more than
81 600 was paid on the standing debt
of the church. 1t must be borne in
mind that N addition to this all the
expense of the church including pas
tors salary, etc., have been promptly
paid.
Through his untiring efforts the
membership OF the church as we'll as
the Sunday-school department is or
ganized on the military plan into com
panies and tribes, and so thoroughly
are are they organized and so well has
the selection of leaders been made in
the different tribes and companies, that
at almost any given time when it is an
nOunced to the leaders that a certain
amount must be raised, it is raised in
true military style with promptness
and decision.
Too much cannot be said in COM
mendston of the magnificent work OF
DT. Johnson al the Metropolitan Bap
tlst Church. He has devoted the best
years Of his life to this work and in the
days of the tribulation Of the church he
sacrificed his home aud property that
his flock might be kept together and
that The temple might be held III which
ii could worship.
Other races honor their heroes; m onu-
ments are gong up daily for men who
served their people and their causes.

Made in Half a Century.
One need not go back a century, nor
yet half of that distance, to discover in
this "happy land Of freedom" millions
of intelligent citizens, including schol'
ars, divines, statesmen, philosophers
and other leaders of men, who sincere
ly believed in and earnestly spoke and
lesrnedly wrote in support OF that
"hideous atrocity" - slavery. Fifty
years ago the fugitive slave law was in
force, according to the terms Of which
it was a crime to give shelter or food
or assistance of any kind to runaway
slave. Fifty years ago in all the free
states the United S S:ates marsh ais, aid
ed by the United States district sttor'
neys, were discharging their duty, ful'
fill ing the obligations OF their official
oath, by hunting, capturing, and re-
tuT ming to their owners such men, Wo
men and children as had escaped from
slavery and taken refuge among the
enemies Of that constitutional institu
tion which the World describes as "the
"hideous atrocity." Fifty years ago
there were pulpits in New England
from which no word of condemnation
of slavery or of sympathy with the
slaves was ever heard. Millions Of
Americans now living remember the
rendition Of Anthony Burns, the mob
