has STOOD THE TEST.

Some Virginia Negroes would
dare make small of the work done
.ot the Seminary. But ~ has SO far
stood the test. Many of the very
best Public school teachers OF this
State are from our school can
name several places whore no one
need to- apply for a school unless he
halls from Virginia Seminary. The
story OF her preachers is welI known
except the brother at Manchester.
The young men whom she has sent
out are doing about as we'll as any
others: one thmg about them thCy
know how Co respect their leaders.
and how TO honor the old men ia
the ministry and the old people m
the churches. To know this Us 20
know much. and any set of young
men who know it will be hard 20
down In the battles of life They
know how 10 stand for principle.
Va. Seminary was founded on the
doctrine of self help for the young
Negroes of the State. and in all uT
these years only one has denied the
faith, and we even have our doubts
as TO whether he has decided 20 turn
his back on the cause which has
made him what he is to-day. for the
school has done more for him than
ia has for any one else. all the rest
have sworn 20 be loyal or die: not
loyal to the school and kin the pres
tdent. We can never forget the
many sacrifices which Prof Hayes
has made, and we stand united TO
see 20 IL that no harm befalls him
.if we can DO anything TO avoid il.

A REVIEW OF THE WORK.

Let us see what has been done.
In the first place, there was a debt
OF more than sixteen thousand (sI6
O0O.00) dollars on the school pro-
perty. best les two floors of tha main
building were unfinished, as well as
the fact that all over the State

courage, and in some cases to threat

THE POLICY OF THE ORGANIZER

Some say its policy IS unbecom-
ing 20 "a religious body ANA thus the
Convention cannot stand for IL, re
ligious paper snould be sly ana fear
ful least it should be put 1own as
radical. and tnus become unpopular
with the best people. This argu-
ment is all right on its face but
these are perilous times that call
for just such "a leader as Prof.
Hayes is; a man who will not hurt
anybody, but who Will not allow
anybody TO hurt the cause, a man
who can force men out of the way
His success at Lynchburg has come
TO the Baptists OF the State because
he has not been too timid TO say
what ever it was necessary 10 say
10 compel some men 10 let Virginia
Seminary alone No other method
would have worked in the past for
patience ceased to be a virtue with
men who have absolutely no faith in
ability OF their own race. and had
pledged TO deliver the head OF the
strongest Negro man to be found
any where in the country.

We regard as an enemy, not person

enemies. Thus we as minister's of
the Gospel propose to be brOtherly,
and If our enemy thirsts we shall
give him drink, but when IL comes
to our State work We know no com
promises TO our leaders. Wen lay
down our lives for Hayes and do
the same for DR.. Boiling or any 9th
er man that proves worthy OF our
confidence and has the ability to
lead.
The irresponsible reporter spoke
of carrying war into our convention.
think he is the self appointed
chairman of the peace commission
Of Virginia" l. il is he, that sounds
bad for peace commissioner, 20
talk of starting war where there is
no war, but we all understand this
commission 10 be a war measure
and the great aim was 10 weaken
union forces so that 10 would be easy
TO lead the enemy in the camp at
Norfolk, capture the men and ruin
the educational work and thus make
it necessary to put Virginia Semi
nary under different management,
But If you carry the president of
Virginia Seminary TO court every
month in the year, and win a thous
and dollars every time, that viii
have no other effect on the friends
of the work, but 20 make them
more determined that the work and
Prof. hayes shall live and prosper.
PITIES THE DISORGANIZERs.
I pity the man who tries to raise
a row at Norfolk for the men are
not going to be played with by any
disgruntled party, a convention like
a church. cannot force any one to
stay in it, but when our leader is
so objectional that any set of men
cannot work with him, all they
have to do is as the Others did, or
ganize a General Association, FOR
the old Convention is founoed on a
rock. and that to stand. Men may
come and go. but she will continue
to do business at the same oil
stand. These remarks have no re-

TO SAVE HIM FOR THE WORKS
SAKE.

They accuse us Of being too 10y
al 10 one man, our leader, but we
want TO save him for the work $
sake. If he used his strength a.
gainst our Convention and our
school, it would be necessary for us
20 try 10 get him out of the way. as
we'll as we love and revere him.
The same rule will hold true on the
other side of this controversy. Any
man, be he white or black, preacher
or layman, rich or poor, that tries 70
inJure our work, we give Prof
Hayes orders TO let the work live
This Of course takes a strong
man, the most of us cannot contend
against friend. not many men can
step right out in front of danger and
say XIII me first. but let my people
live" That is exactly what Prof
Hayes has had to DO, and there are
many people who are with him and
give him praise. some in the Cen
eral Association, and we are serv-
ing notice to the world that we re-
gard him a success. We feel safe
in following him, because he has
done what we told him to do, or we
have done what we wanted to do.
and that under his leadership.

NO ENEMY TO THE ELDER.

I want all parties to understand.
] am no enemy TO Rev. Cheek;
have always treated him as we'll as

sorry that he allowed anyone to
cause him TO 20 in court against
Prof. Hayes to prove concerning a
statement which no one was willing
TO stand for. AS soon as IL was
shown that no one dared 10 own his
name Il seems to me that Rev.
Cheek had won his case, but as IL is
now, he has placed himself on re-
cord as trying TO ruin a woman who
had nothing to do with the publica-
tion one way or another. / mean
he tried to ruin Mrs. Hayes. which
was not fair for a man who would
have his rights, to try to take away
the rights of an innocent woman.
