Rev. w. II. Porter of the unio

Rev. W. H. Porter of the Union
Congregational church in Des
Moines certainly believes in doing
things. He is rapidly forging to
the front as speaker, and bids
fair to soon be one of our leading
devines. We are not surprised,
Rev. Porter is from Georgia.
The above clipping was taken
from our very worthy contempor-
ary. The Buxton Gazette. 1t is
indeed true that no minister of
the gospel ever came to our city
that has risen SO fast in our
community, and has won the af-
fectiou and highest esteem of not
only his race but, the respect of
the white people whom he has met;
having been in our city less than
one year, yet he was elected sec
retary and treasurer of the h|in-
isterial Association of our city
aud will hold that Office six
months. Last week he was a
delegate to the Grinnell Associa-
tion Of Congregationalist, which
met at Perry, and was on the
program and was elected scribe
of the association for one year.
This week comes the news that
he has been selected to deliver
the annual baccalaureate sermon
to the strdentsoof Lincoln Insti-
tute at Jefferson City, No. He
leaves. next. Tuesday for Sioux
City, where he is on the program
of the annual state Congrega-
tional Council, where fully 600
delegates will attend. Sunday
he will exchange pulpits with,
Rev. Losey ofsthe Pill grim Con-
gregational church East Side,
and the last Sunday in this
month he will preach for Rev:
Day Of the new Presbyterian
church, East Des Moines. Thus
you see that any man with pure
character and christian life will
attract and draw men to the bet
ter things of life. ,

been taking his vacation of sew

Of the Rocky mountains and
hunting in the wild muddy and
snowy woods of Colorado, has
turned his foot steps homeward
with much small game, but very
little large game. He has enjoy
ed the real western hospitality
and that effective cheerful south

AGE OF WORK.

In this busy commercial age
where all is in hustle, where COM
petition and rivalry is struggling
for mastery, where invention and
modern science have revolution
izdd common things, where worth
true manhood and character
counts, where intelligence, in
dustry and frugality are the
winning power. it becomes ne
cessary for us as race to pause
moment and see if we are keep
ing apace with the age. Are
you at work, studying how you
can best perform your work or
best serve your employer? Are
You using your idle time in trying
to work out your own destiny?
In short are you working! If
not go to work, use your muscle,
develop your brain, work your
hands and results will come.
Many Of our young boys and girls
are reared up in idleness, live in
vice and die in iniquity. Many
of us have absolutely no thought
Of tomorrow; many have no aim
or purpose in life. They are just
floating about like d lost ship in
mid sea. Many are trying to
live without work--this should
not be-for this is the age of
work. Then let us work, work,
for all honest labor is good work.

Aftermath Of Slavery" by William A.
Sanclair, A. M NJ d., about to be
published by Small, Maynard & Com
pany of Boston; book which is con.
sidered to be the most important con-
tribution yet made to the burning color
question, since it treats OF the Negro
as an American citizen and is written
by one Of the best educated and ablest
colored men in the country-one who
through his many years connection
with Howard University of Washing,
ton City, is well-known throughout
our land. - :u.t&E ,' g"
Now that so many authors, South.
ern and Northern, have suddenly brok.
en- out into the discussion OF the so.
called Negro problers, it is nothing
more than fair that another Negro
author should have his word TO Say.
The very fact that these Southern con.
tributions cover a very wide range in
quality, from the really high toned
and enlightened work entitled Prob
lems of Present South by Edgar Gard.
ner Murphy down 10 the demagogic
glorincation Of the Ku Klux Khan by
the Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr.,-this
range of thought makes it only right
to recognize the effort Of colored
man. to be fair and plain-spoken in
doing justice to his side of the house.
The attempt to do this. at least, is
visible in every page Of DR.. SincIair's
book. One who like myself has visited
within nine months the heart of the
former slave States. who has seen the
strong effort made by SO many of the
whites to do justice to the
Negro and who has talked freely with
Southern public men-in my own case,
for instance with the governors of
three different States-must needs feel
an impulse to take hand when a col.
ored writer enters on a manly and
argument fer his own side,
such as may be found in this volume.
