dress was, in part as follows:
Il am in favor of the best education
for the largest number of people, along
practical lines, where the most good
can be accomplished. 1t is idle to at
tempt to rectify wrongs or improve con-
ditions by discussing the race issue.
What permanent good can result from
trying to prove the white race is su-
perior or the colored race inferior in
mental, moral, social or business equip
ment2 Complaints criticisms viii
solve no problem. What IS needed IS
beneficial, practical advice and work
IF men and women are not qualified
to preach or teach let them do the best
they can in the field of labor for which
they are best fitted, in the workshop, on
the farm. or in the kitchen. Efficiency
dignihes labor The faithful employe
hardly ever fails to win the grateful
regard of the good employer. Prosper
ity brings contentment and happiness
This cannot be had without earnest eff
fort. Don't let discomfort and disap-
pointment induce anyone to an idle life
or unfavorable environment lead to dis
couragement

The trend of all well-regulated life
in America is upward for all willing
workers and downward for shirkers.
Some of the greatest men in the history
of our country have attained their posi-
tons by overcoming opposition that
would have disheartened any ordinary
man. Abraham Lincoln had no inviting
opportunity; often with not even a can
die to furnish light for his midnight
toll. he used the pine knot of the viii
derness to light the pages from which
he studied
Fred Douglass, Booker Washington
and thousands of other colored men s.
cured the respect and confidence Of
their fellowmen by the exercise of good
sense, persistence and patience.
Labor can be dignifed and respect
secured by efficient service in the house
hold and the colored race can have a.
a missionary working for the destruc-
ton of prejudice and the upbuilding of
strong and valuable friendships every
one who uses his or her time in faith
fully performing even the tasks dis
agreeable and uninyiting."
Short addresses were also delivered
by DR.. J. B. Mclaughlin; w. Calvin
Chase, editor of The Bee; Judge E. N.
Hewlett, and Mr.. J. A. Landlord, a
cclored architect and builder.

Collector OF the Port will show that the foreign
trade of the metropolis is the largest recorded
since the opening OF the Custom House, more than
one hundred years ago. Statistics for the elevea
calendar months OF 1907 tabulated yesterday
together with estimate OF the business of the
port for December made by J. s. Knapp, the
auditor. places the foreign commerce OF New York

gold and silver movements. Henry c. Stuart, TIE
acting collector, said that when IN 1906 the foreign
trade OF the port reached 81 $93 ,6s7 it seemed
though the limit had been reached He confessed
yesterday that 1907 had far exceled the anticipa-
of the customs officials
Taking the figures for eleven months and the
timated volume of business for December, II Is
stated that the imports Of foreign merchandise at
