The Church of England is organizing
an increasing number Of Christian En-
deavOr societies.

The matter was reported at Police

NOBLE SOUTH.
ERN TRAIT.

Within hearing of the writer, a few
days ago, an old-time darky remarked
to a younger "cullud brudder, who
knows the latest quotations on election
certificates "CiIandest man in the
world was my ole white massa out in
Hardin county" There was, indeed,
a sacred relation between most masters
and servants IN slave times dear yet
TO the memory OF both. No greater
mistake than to take the Harriet
Beecher Stowe view OF slavery, as APP
plcable to every phase of the institu
tion, or 10 its workings n all parts or
the country. There were heartless
slave owners as there are heartless
parents. The worst of the slave owners
were the slave traders, who unfeelIng
ly made.human flesh just as marketable
a commodity as hides or sole leather.
Slavery was bad in principle and
could not be-, of course, universally
happy In practice, but noble instances
OF kindness, on the one, and of tidel-
Ity, on the other side In slave times
were really numberless The other
day DR. Forest GabbeIt, Of Louisville,
a nd his venerable mother crossed over
to Indiana in quest of an aged and
practically helpless woman of color.
This old woman had been the slave of
DR.. Gsbberts s grandparents at Clover
port, Ky. For twenty years old Melissa
Montgomery has been janitress of the
Sci libner High School, New Albany,
but was getting too feeble to be retain
ed.
The Gsbbert family had never for
cotton the old slave, and could not,
till recently get any trace of her.
Finding at last that she was in New
Albany, they promptly offered her q
home for the remainder of her days.
To her dear old "missus" Melissa re-
turns with proud heart. No one that
meets her fails to learn Of her luck
from THANKFUL lips, frightened eye and
smiling face. Back home again the
old-time slave goes rejoicing. DR..
Gabbert illustrates the best side Of
Southern character, its conslderate
tender, large-hesrted generosity. 1t
is by such men, with that chsracteris-
tic fully developed, that the racial
problem will be solved, not by .demag-
ogues white, or agitators dark -skined.
