EDITORIAL THOUGHTS.

We are giving some opinions of the
colored press in this issue of THE Col
ORED AMERICAN anent the strikers and
strike breakers. There are some differ
ences of opinion, but the main issue
is: Does the coIored man who accepts
fit himself? He is merely used as a
means to an end it seems, and his job
lasts no longer than the strike lasts.
He is then turned out, the strikers re-
placed and the feeling Of race preju-

The Star of Zion contributes very
timely editorial in it's issue of August
4th, to the preachers, whom it denomi-
mates the ''truest leaders of the race"
and the St0r sustains its position by
strong facts and arguments. 1t is a
fact that for the past forty years no
class of men have contributed so much
to the development and to the advanc-
ment of the race as has the preacher.
The school teacher has done his work
the politician and the business men
have done their work; but the efforts
to develop the race along all lines, to
organize it into active working bodies,
has been the work of the minister
They have not all been educated, and
all of them have not lived up to the
tenets of the decalogue, but their
power for good has been great and far
reaching. We do not hesitate to say
that the most scholarly, most liberal,
most eloquent and the profoundest
men of the race, belong to that class
known as preachers.

WORK OF THE GoLoVIN HOME

preted their pieces into the native language All of tho children received Christmas presents given by friend, and everybody got biscuit, candy and nuts. They all enjoyed it very much.
 On Christmas day had services in the fore noon, preaching, baptism and the communion At tho baptism sixty-three people baptized In the evening we had public wedding. Four young coup les were then united in the holy bonds of wedock Some of them from chdren's home. think if you had been with and seen these people, you would agree with us-what change!
 It has been custom among the natives to give away their girls to any man they would choose for her. The girl had to go with him whether she liked him not. This has in many cases been curse to the girl. Last winter there came white man to village and asked of the if he could have his daughter The father consented, and against the will of the girl she had to go and live with this white man in an unlawful way: The girl is about If years old. Now that such happens among heathen people, whore they do not know better, may be an excuse but that white man, from the civilized world, and with better knowledge will go and interfere with the rights of poor girl, there is excuse, When I spoke to the girl she cried as if she had been whipped.
 As the people now can understand and compre bend littls of everything, we have opportunity to speak to them about the subject of good morals and they accept it with thankful hearts. l The village at the Home is growing every year. New houses built and families are coming in to live here. This gives the children an opportunity to attend school. This schoolyear there are sixty members enrolled in school which is the greatest | number we over had, and they very anxions to learn.
 | In the home we have at present 34 children who are supported by the mission. Many more have ap- piled for admttance but not able to care for any mors although have the good will. The health of tho children is this winter better than in former years. They have had skin diseases, SO common among the natives during the winter season They are all lively and happy.
 The people under observation, and with whom we have communion more or less, number about 5OO Of these, 300 have been baptized and are mem- bsrs of the local church.
 | The health of the natives has been very good the past year, and very few deaths have occurred. The people consequently increase in number | Before close this letter let me tender hearty thanks to all who in some way other have showed thsir sympathy and kindness to our home and the children. wish all were able to visit our home see the children and the work we are doing. We hope to be in your remembrance in the future. I o. P. ANDERSON.
