ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
BY REV. T. l.. GRIFFITH.

The Negro Baptists Of the United
States number two million, two hun
dred thousand q 200, OO9.)
Their church membership range from
the smallest number possible to (7Ooo)
seven thousand, Several of these
churches have properties worth over a
hundred Thousand dollars, notably in
Washington, Philadelphia aud New
York.
The educational a. nd missionary work
of these great numbers has been done
by two means: by the Northern white
Baptist working through the American
Baptist Home Mission Socie'y aud by
the Negro Baptists themselves working
through their district associations,
State Conventions, district conventions
and the National Baptist Convention.
Every southern state has one or more
schools owned and operated by the
Negro Baptists of that state. In addi.
ton to these there are about fifteen
schools owned by the American Baptist
Home Mission Society which are oper-
ated for the education of our people.
These schools are literary, professional
and industrial. Many of their presi'
dents are the peers of any living men.
Among these are Prof. Jno. Hope of
Atlanta; DR.. J R L. Diggs of Louis.
Vile, and DR.. Jos, A. Brooks Of Little
Rock.
The National Baptist Convention is
the representative body of the Negro
Baptists of the United States. 1t
meets annually and is attended by
from two to five thousand delegates.
Its work is done through Boards whose
members are nominated by the various
states and elected by the Convention.

THE NEGRO At THE BAR,

The Negro lawyer is the subject
that I prefer to address your minds,
but there is quite number of Negro
lawyers who never appear before the
bar of any court. So it is better tc
simply speak of the Negro engaged
in the actual practice of the law, and
in that he Is not different to lawyer
Of any other nationality. At least I
have found it so in my experience.
The theory of the bar is the same
everywhere, but no doubt the prac-
tice may differ in many courts. The
bar in my judgment is the most dig
,iaed and refined tribunal on earth.

Fred Thiemann, Of Warren town
ship, suffered double disaster while
returning home from Denver, where he
had delivered a COW and purchased
some lumber and cement. A few miles
out of Denver found him perched upon
the top of the COW rack and enjoying
his pipe as only a good smoker can,
wholly unconscious of what was going
on in the wagon box below him. Sud
denly a warm feeling about his legs
caused him to glance downward, when
he learned to his dismay that the
straw in the wagon had igntted and
was burning briskly. The rack pre-
vented him from getting at the burn
ing straw and so he whipped up the
horses and started for the creek less
than half a mile ahead Of him. A
neighbor saw him coming and brought
pail with which they dashed water
upon the blaze, which by the time had
reached alarming proportions. 1t was
finally brought under control, but be-
fore that end was contaminated, Mr..
Thiemann had sustained a fractured
arm by slipping from wheel upon
which he had climbed with a pail Of
water, and bringing his arm in heavy
contact with the tire. A physician was
summoned and neighbors took charge
of the salvage. The forward part of
the wagon was considerably burned,
the lumber scorched, and the cement
sacks almost wholly consumed.
