II Mrs. Mary Churcn 1errell ndQ
any doubt as to the high esteem in
which she is held by the citizens OF
Washington, that doubt was removed
last Wednesday evening, at the re-
ception rendered her at the MetroDOli-
tan A NJ. E. Church. When it was
learned that she would soon return to
the city from her trip abroad as dele
gate to the International Congress of
Women, which met recently in Berlin,
Germany, a movement was started by
100 of the leading cOlOred citizens of
the District, to tender her a grand
public reception, to show in public
way their high and warm apprecia-
ton of the great honor she had done
herself and the race while abroad.
The associated press and the maga-
zines and newspapers have already
told the story of her triumph abroad,
and it is only left to the citizens of
her home city to acknowledge the
same in public way. Metropolitan A.
NJ. Z. Church which has the largest
District of Columbia, was comfOrtab-
Iy filled with representative men and
women Of the race who had come out
to hear the story of her triumph, and
TO make her return home, welcome.
The church was beautifully decorated
an orchestra was secured and a most
interesting program was rendered. 1t
was as follows:
Master CT ceremonies, DR.. ]. r. Will
der; invocation, Rev. Sterling N.
Brown; Introductory remarks, DR.. J.
R. Wilder; addresses of welcome, Hon
John c. Dancy, and Miss Maria L.
Jordan; Response, Mrs. Mary Church
Terrell; BenedictiOn, Rev. o. J. w.
Scott; music for the occasion was fur
nshed by the Invincible orchestra.
DR.. Wilder, in a few well-chOsen
words, gave the reasons for the occa-
sion of the committee of one hundred
In rendering the ovation to Mrs. Ter
relI. He spoke el0Quently Of the hard
ships and the impedimenta, and Of the
embarrassments that are met with by
the colored citizens of this country on
account of race prejudice, and spoke
interestingly of the progress the race
has made with these difficulties to com
pete with He felt that since Mrs.
Terrell had done so much in a strange
land to bring credit to herself and
the ten millions of colored people in
this country, that it was fitting indeed
that such a public testimonial should
be given her.
Hon. John c. Dancy, Recorder of
Deeds for the District Of Columbia,
was at his best, and in a most grand
eloquent way told what the race had
won through Mrs. Terrell trip and
triumph abroad. His address was
frequently cheered and punctuated
with applause. To Miss Maria Jordan
was assigned the duty OF speaking for
The women, and she performed her
part nObly and we'll. Briefly she re-
hearsed the work and progress of the
women Of the race for the past forty
Years, and told in chaste dietson of
