phiS with a reputation as a great ora
tor ChaYing won the distinction while
serving as state Senator in his native
State), little was known Of his ora
tOrical powers and versatility, except
by members Of his own congregation
until he was invited to deliver the in
vocation on the occasion of the visit
of President Roosevelt to the Luke E.
Wright reception a year a go. From
every standpoint literary production,
eIOquence, and delivery, this was the
grandest prayer ever delivered in
Memphis. The daily papers devoted
no little space in reproducing 1T as
we'll as in commenting in a manner
as never before on Negro production.
The hopes of his most sanguine
friends were mere han realized; it |
was the opinion of all that a better
selection could not have ben made.
Being a man of a strong force of char
acter, Rev. Fuller has been elected
principal of Howe Institute. How
we'll he has succeeded in his education
al work can only be determined by Wis
iting his school. While this school is
not perfect by any means, it is in a
more f1OuTishing condition to-day than
at any time in it's history. While it /
is comparatively a young school, the /
work it has already done is equal to /
and in some case superior to work of /
institutions twice its age. In speaking /
Of their last years commencement,
one of the most prominent and we'll
known men Of the race expressed him
self in the following manner:
THE commencement exercises of
Howe Institute this year would have
done credit to Oberlin College. have
never seen anything in Memphis to
equal it. Rev. Fuller is the right man
in the right place."
Graduates Of this school are fast
this onward march in a manner that
challenges the admiration of all who
are interested in the welfare of the
race
and one of the leading lawyers of
the city, is a graduate of this school
who is highly respected not only by
the members of the bar, but all who
know him regard him as one of the
most honest men of the profession in
the city 1t is interesting to hear Mr..
Johnson talk of his school days at
Howe Institute. The lessons learned
there are daily practiced in his home, {
at which place he is as gentlemanly !
with men as he would be in the Office
of Howe Institute surrounded by teach 7
ers and students. g
Rev. Fuller is making efforts to add '
which are very neeessa- d
~ to the success of the school, as well I
as the comfort of students. The grand d
lecture by Miss Name H. Burroughs, g
which was given under the auspices 7
of the Alumni Association, was given f

parUles who donate will receive re.

mall 1t is safe to say that if Rev.
Fuller receives the proper encourage
nent from men and women in the
proper way, the time will come when
the good influences of Howe Institute
VIII be felt and recognized throughout
ohe entire country. For executive ahiI-
lty and originality, Rev. Fuller re-
ceiVed the most f1attering> praise from
the leading dailies of his home city.
AS Senator he won for himself and
race name that will never be for
gotten. His great speech in opposition
10 the constitutional convention proved
him to be a man of thought, eIoquence
and scholarship, worthy to a seat in
the Senate chamber of the nation.
While Senator the State prison be-
came so crowded, all Interested were
very much alarmed, but none seemed
to know what steps to take which
would give the much-needed relief.
After taking the matter under advise
ment, Senator Fuller promulgated and
introduced a bill which became a law
and which caused him to not only
receive the heartiest congratulations of
the other members, but the daily pa
pers of his home city praised him in
the highest terms.
1t has been and is still a custom for
majority of our churches to give
picnics and excursions at which the
most degenerate characters are admit
ted. The majority of churches in
Memphis gives picnics to make mon
ey, regardless of how they mix the
best people with the worst in order
to get money; they are sacrificing ev-
cry principle Of decency.
Many years ago (when the Negro
vote amounted to something) a lead
ing Negro lawyer from ST. Louis came
to Memphis to tell his race how to
elect Democrat to Congress. After
many efforts to convince his hearers
that it was to their best interest to
vote for a Democrat, he concluded his
harangue with the following:
What you people need more than
politics is money; you ought to go |
to work and get money honestly if |
you can, and if you can't get it hon
7stly you ought to get money"
Negro preachers are still repeating /
7hese words. A few months ago a |
committee of citizens met to organize |
company for the purpose of opening
shoe store; in the concluding part
# mis- speech, a preacher of promi-
hence used thes words: "You people
10 not need to pray any more; you
lave prayed enough. What you need
low is business houses anl money"
n view of the teaching he has re-
eived surprise should not be shown
