BISHOP GAINES TANKS.


Among the noted Afro-Ameri-
cans that have gone to Europe this
summer is Bishop W. J. Gaines and
daughter, who will spend some four
months touring Europe. Bishop
Gaines is noteworthy as being the
second bishop in the A. NJ. E.
church as to service, the bishop
ranking him being Rev. Ii. NJ. Tur-
ner. lie is also noteworthy because
Of the fact that he has written a
number of books, which have been
very favorably received by the gen
eral reading public Though he was
born a slave and is far from being
a classic student, yet his books show
profundity Of thought, clean cut
sentences, each Of which strikes the
vital point, and, in short, they show
the work of scholar rather than
a cobbler. Prior to sailing in an in
terview in the New York Times he
used the following language touch
ing on the race question of this
country:
81 am not in favor of any radical
measures to improve the conditions
of the Negro. We must work out
our salvation by degrees.
Il have perhaps a novel theory
along this line. 1t is that the Ne
gro shall initiate the jew. Some
years ago a certain hotel in Sarato-
ga objected to the Jews as guests.

become substantial citizens, and you
will one day have a power they can't
wrest from you.
ut is not the old people of the
South who are so bitter against the
Negro, it is the younger element.
They have bitter views and feelings
against Us that their fathers did not
entertain; they are not so kind,

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

In the last report of the Secretary
Of the Board of School Visitors of
Newtown, find the following: ''The
most serious question the Board has to
contend with is the decreased attend
ance, caused by removals from town
and decrease in population" Just
what it means 1 do not understand;
but it is a good text Tor sermon on
the present management of our schools.
First thought to look up the mat
ter of enumeration. And there were
only 20 less children in October, 1900,
than in 1899; and only 10 less than in
1898. Not very serious cause for
strenuous contention on the part of
anybody!
Then made little study of aver
I and behold there has been an increase
each year! So that does not explain
the most serious question of the
Board.
Then glanced at the appropriations
for the last three years, for these al
ways involve serious contentious. In
'9S-'99, the amount was $6,675. so;
'99-190O ST. 50; and last year, 81 1886. SO.
There is nothing very discouraging in
that, sure! for the Board.
But there have been removals from
the town; and therefore a decrease in
population. So much is certainly cor
rect; Notwithstanding the facts and
the reasoning don't hitch.
And this is not quite all. Last year
every district in town had school of
it's own, for the first time in several
years!
What is the most serious question
the Board has to contend with? Ask
the people of Teddy Hill district. Ask
the people of Zoar district: Ask the
people of Sandy Hook and other dis
tricts, who have children to educate.
Ask why some of the best families
in town moved out, and why others
would if they could. Ask why others
do not move into town who would.
Let the Board of School Visitors ask
themselves who is responsible?[O o.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO Transfer.
A young teamster, named Curtiss,
met with serious accident in the
Great Quarter woods, Monday after

passed over him. He was taken to the

his ribs were broken, but it is hoped he
will recover, as he is steady, industri-

NEWTOWN SENDS A LARGE DELE
CATION TO THE STATE CONVENTION
IN DANBURY.-A PERFECT MOON
LIGHT NIGHT FOR THE DRIVE AND
SOME EXCELLENT ADDRESSES MAKE
THE TRIP WELL WORTH THE EFFORT
For three days, October 25 to the
q, the State Christian Endeavor
convention went on in Danbury. 1t
was said when the National G. E. Con-
vention was to meet in New York City,
some years ago, that it would not even
cause f1utter in the busy life of the
metropolis; but it did cause consider
able fiutter, and the SO, 900 Endeavorers
gathered there made New York people
think that Christian EndeavOr was a
bigger factor in the worlds life than
they had imagined. So the State con-
vention causeda considerable f1utter in
the "City of Hats" among the western
hills of Connecticut, and the Endeavor-
ers who took the hotel team from New
town were not surprised to hear some
young men on the sidewalk call out, as
they spied the white ribbons holding
the G. E. pins, "Hello! see the
Christian Endeavor society,""
The interest went from meeting to
meeting. 1t was an ascending series
of deep spiritual feeling, and reached
the climax on Sunday evening. At
this time the First Congregational
church, the convention church, was
thronged. Chairs were brought into
the aisleS, standing room was at "a
premium, and an overflow meeting of
several hundred was found necessary
in the chapel of the church. Why,
yes, these meetings pay. We come
home to meet the same old problems
that we have always faced; but for a
little while let us think we do not
think the same old thoughts. We
have breathed another atmosphere, VIC
have taken some vital oxygen of
healthy thought into our lungs and
have thrown out good deal of carbonic
| acid gas of thinking only about our
neighbors and the cramped concerns
of four little selves. Then, too, we have
come in touch with the army; we have
felt the hand-grasp OF the comrade in
the ranks. We have been discouraged
in our little fields. We have come TO
think, like Elijah, that they all have
bowed the knee to Baal, and that we
only are left to serve the Lord: but the
big convention shows us this is not SO.
1t is a mighty host with which we are
marching; the tramp of their feet is
like the tramp of solid battaliOns,
their advance is like the oncoming of
the tides Of the sea. When Sherman
was making his famous march through
Georgia, often for long periods of time
the various parts of the advancing line
would be concealed from each other as
they went through the brush: but then,
ever and anon, they would come out in
to the Savannahs, those wide extending
meadows between the thicketS Of the
wood. Now the cOlOrS of the rcgi-
ments would appear, and as far as the
eye could reach would be seen the great
advancing host. Cheer after cheer
would rend the air as the boys in blue
thought Of the numbers that were
joined in this one supreme struggle to
cut the Confederacy in two. This is
what great convention docs. 1t
