Demand More Than Equality.

To the Northern mind there is
phase OF this race question which Is
inconceivable. According so our ideas
we demmand for the negro equal rights
with the white. and it is no more than
lust that he should be given equal
rights. but the negro goes beyond this
and demands more. He demands that
he be taken into the bosom OF the
white mans family. that the white
man associate with him. and not only
that. II 10 can put the white man in

 "A convention should be made to commence at the appointed time, said the speaker. Our sessions ought to begin on time. There should not be the delay that we have experienced at every meeting of the convention thus far When a speaker Is allotted a cer- tain time in which to address the con- vention. he should be stopped when his limit is up. and not delay the meet ings by taking more time than be- longs to him"
 MT. Johnston spoke of the singing of the choir.
 "The singing this morning has been most enjoyable" he said. and have enjoyed 1t as much as any one here. But 1t is not the kind of singing we should have at this convention. The singing here should be an object les son for the singers of the Sunday Schools It should have a spirit and dash, which would teach pupils how to sing Tn the school"
 His remarks were greeted with a round of hand -clapping which evidepc- ed the agreement of the congregation with him.
 At the conclusion of the regular pro- gram, the matter of raising the pledges from s4,600 promised on We'd nesday evening, to the sum of $6,OO0 which has been asked for by the Ex- ecutive Committee. was taken up. In a short time pledges were made to total amount of S5,481s 50.
