The members of John A. Logan Post, No.
ID, G. A. R., with the ladies of the organi-
zation's relief corps, No I, last evening
attended services held in the Anacostia
Methodist Episcopal Church, at the corner
Of Jackson and Pierce streets. The MEM
bers of the post and the corps assembled
at the Masonic Hall and proceeded in a
body to the edifice, where places were re-
served for them. Rev. Charles o. Isaac
the pastor Of the church, and Rev. Nelson
H. Miller, the department chaplain, were
the speakers of the evening. There was
a large attendance of persons interested
in the services. After the Scripture read
ing and the rendition by the choir of 1.-THE
Lord Is My Shepherd, Rev Mr.. Isaac be-
gan his discourse. In opening, he stated
that he was glad Of the opportunity to do
honor to the men who had served their
country and whose presence he was pleased
to welcome to the church. He. himself,
said the speaker, prevented by youth from
being one of them, had, nevertheless. in
the days of the great strife, uttered prayer
for the men In war. Proceeding to speak
along the lines of his subject, which he
said he would give a practical application
to, Rev. Mr.. Isaac said: Have you re-
pented7 Have you bent the knee before
the Lord and said: Lord, be merciful to
me, sinner You Of this company who are
able to look back nearly forty years and
see how God preserved you in battle and
carnage, and restored you to family and
friends, surely you have come to return
thanks to God and owe Him duty of re-
pentance."
Speaking of his personal feelings toward
the veterans. Mr.. Isaac continued: II
have always felt peculiar interest in the
services you hold each Decoration day. I

THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER.
Sermon by Rev. Bishop johnson a
Second Baptist Church, Colored.

At the Second Baptist Church last night
Rev. w. Bishop Johnson, LID, preached
to large congregation on THE Negro as
Soldier" selecting as his text the words,
Not by might nor by power, but by my
Spirit, saith the Lord" The minister re-
viewed the services rendered by the negro
soldier in all the wars waged by this coun-
try-1775, 1872, 1861 and 1S9S-showing by
official figures that in the revolutionary
war 5000 of the troops were negroes who
came from the north, while at the south
1900 negroes joined the British army and
in that way secured their liberty. He paid
an eloquent tribute to Crispus Attacks,
calling him the negro patriot and martyr
to the cause of American independence.
He said this mighty struggle against OPP
preston was sanctified by the blood of a
negro, who was the first victim offered
upon the altar for the redemption Of a re-
public that was to play wonderful part
In teaching the world its best lessons Of
liberty and law.
After showing the negro took part in the
war of 1872 and was commended for brav-
cry In that great naval engagement DIR.
Johnson proceeded to discuss the causes of
the civil war, which, he stated, antedated
the American state and was born with the
adoption of the Constitution in 1889, which,
he declared, was the price of the Union and
a surrender of the conviction that slavery
was wrong: and the price paid in 1885 was
100000 Of the flower of American youth,
So, 0O0.000,000 and untold misery and woe.
He said the white soldier will be praised
because he defended his liberty: the negro
soldier will be praised because, having no
liberty, he purchased 1t with his life. The
negro soldier unlocked the ponderous doors
of his own prison house and set himself
free. He was patriotic when he had no
country; he is doubly 30 now, In the face

said the veterans were spared for some
purpose, for every man Is immortal until
his work is done. To the veteran, said the
speaker, is due something for the spiritual
and moral advancement made by this ma
ton, something for giving it a place among
the nations of the world. something for
gaining the victories of peace, something for
being soldier citizens, those who had been
citizen soldiers. He Endorsed the remarks
repentance and called attention to the
thinning of the veterans ranks as the
years roll on. In conclusion. he drew
picture of the field of Appomattox, as he
saw 1t at sunrise on the day of the sur
render of Lee and said his words on that
