RELIGION FOR NEGRO.
Justice Brewer Says Christ wiM Make
 Them Useful.


 New York. Feb. Is.--Justice David J. Brewer. of the United States su- preme court told the congregation in the Broadway Tabernacle yesterday that in his opinion, religion was the principal factor by which the negroes of the South could be converted into valuable asset of the nation.
 We know that there is ignorance. erimlnally and immortality among the negroes" he said, and 1t remains. with us to change present conditions. so that the negro will become a help. ful factor in our civilization and pro- gress.
 T believe that there is a divine Providence which will so shape our history that the negro will be a help full factor. We must all assist in bring Ing this end. Industrial development. cleanliness, education and other bene- vo!ent and useful things are good for the negro. but I believe nothing will help him so much as the influence of the cross of Christ and nothing will so move him to being a goOd and use- full citizen as the gospel of tho Prince of Peace"
