BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
Rev. w. S. Ellington Delivers an Able
Message Before a Large
Audience.

In the presence of a magnificent
audience that completely packed the
Meharry Auditorium, Rev. w. S. FL
lington, d. D., pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church and Editorial Secretary
of the National Baptist Publishing
Board, preached an eloquent baccalau-
reate sermon to the classes of 1909 of
Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharma-
ceutical College. The audience was
made up of. the admirers of both the
school and the minister from all parts
of the city. 1t was a beautiful demon
stration of the esteem and rating of
the divine who so ably delivered the
message of the hour. Long before
eleven o'clock it was evident that
even this spacious auditorium would
not be able to accommodate those
who would take advantage of the adj
vertised program to be presented on
this occasion. At the opening of the
service a glance over the audience was
conclusive that Nashville was out en-
masse. The Choral Society of Wal
den University rendered excellent
mugic. Prayer was offered by Rev.
l. L. Thompson, of Atlanta, field sec
rotary of the Extension Board of the
M. E. Church, and then Dean Hub
bard announced the speaker for the
morning, stating that DR.. Ellington
had rendered able assistance during
the present year and that he took
pleasure in presenting him on this
suspicious occasion. DR.. Ellington an
nounced his text from Mark 4:38-
"Carest thou not that we perish ?"
He used as a subject Goods care and
protection" Some able sermons have
been delivered on these annual occa-
sions by divines of national and in
t%ernational reputation, hence all was
expectancy to see just how the stand
ard would be upheld. DR.. Ellington
delivered, according to the |concensus
of opinion, a sermon that for its logi-
cal and forceful delivery will long be
remembered. He made beautiful pic
lures and delivered a message that
each member Of the graduating class
and students of the entire university
a carry home, bordering as he goes
over the care of the Master, or Gods
protection Of the human family. The
entire audience was electrified by this
sermon, which proved to be one of the
ablest ever delivered in the auditorium.
It can be well said that he again in
gratiated himself with the entire stu
dent body as we'll as the citizens, who
composed the audience. For forty

A charming event for a happy COM
pany of young people was a party
given Monday afternoon, March 20, to
celebrate the eleventh birthday of lit
tie Ethel Duff, at the ~residenct of her
mother, Mrs. Thos. Duff, Edgehill ave-
nue.. The house was deliberately dec
grated. In the center Of the table was
a large cake presented to her by her
auntie, on the top of which stood elev-
en- little teddy bears. Many lovely and
useful presents were received. The

ANNUAL BANQUET.
Graduating Glass of the Departments
Banuueted,

AS customary, DR.. and Mrs. Geo. w.
Hubbard rendered the Medical, Dental
and Pharmaceutical graduates an an
nual banquet. These annual affairs
have been so enjoyable from year to
year that they are looked forward to
with eagerness and expectancy by
every student. as on these occasions
they .aa look back over a school life
CT four years franght with many hard
ships, as they gather round the festal
board to partake Of the generous hos
pitality of the venerable Dean, where
are present the President of the Uni
versity, members of the faculty, and
the friends of the members of the
graduating classes. The banquet this
year was in every way up to the stand
erd. The weather man dished out de-
lightful weather, making the occasion
all the more enjoyable. The menu
vas elaborate and the music rendered
vas appropriate. Short toasts and
words of good cheer were the order Of
the evening.

five minutes DR.. Ellington told in sim
pie, but forceful, language how God
cared for and protected individuals as
well as nations, making his climax the
protection and care that has been
thrown around the people identified
with the institution and the hundreds
of students who have attended and
are still attending one of the South's
greatest educational institutions. At
the conclusion of the sermon the
speaker was showered with congratu-
lations.

of the country, Miss Mamie Helen
Burroughs, was filling engagements in
this city. The weather on the first
night was ideal. but that of the second
night was not. However, at neither
time was the crowd what it should
have been. This does not speak we'll
for Nashville. Opportunities to hear
lectures given by persons of national
standing do not come often, but when
they do the people should take advan-
tage of them.
Nashville is favored above many
other cities with attractions that draw
the men and women of national repu-
tation to it, and since it is true that
Negroes are not admitted to lectures
by white men who are invited here,
they should have a greater desire to
hear those of their own race who are
thrown in contact by reason of cir
cumstances with the leading thinkers
of the world. Miss Burroughs is a
deep thinker and a convincing rea-
soner. 1t is unfortunate that so few
availed themselves of the opportunity
to hear her.

From the Members of Sylvan Street
Baptist Church.

To the Nashville Globe:
We, the members of Sylvan Street
Baptist Church, wish to express
through the columns of your valuable
paper our regret to lose our most wor-
thy and esteemed pastor, Rev. VIM.
Haynes. He has gone in and out be-
fore us for a number of years and has
declared unto us through all these
years the truth as taught in the Holy
Writ. He has been most faithful and
has watched over us as a careful shep-
herd watches his sheep, always giving
wholesome advice under all condi-
lions. 1t is with sorrowful hearts we
give him up. but as God has seen
fit to have him work in another field,
that of education, we humbly submit,
our prayers going with him for sue
cess in this work so that all who may
obtain a Baptist education and know
why they are Baptists. We bid him
God-speed with prayers for the sue
cess of Roger Williams University.
We say that the school has a man
who is upright and honest and who
will put his whole soul into the work
he has undertaken.

to stir into activity the mentality of
the most lethargic and inspire those
who are endeavoring to do something
with a larger vision of hopefullness.
One cannot listen to the words of
this gifted woman without feeling a
renewed interest in the battle of life;
one cannot listen to her without a
deep sense of his individual and ra-
cial responsibility; one cannot listen
to her without feeling that it is his
duty to take his place with those on
the firing line" and do battle with
might and main, believing that vic
tory will come, as surely it will come
to those who fight together in a com
mon and righteous cause.
Miss Burroughs is one of the strong
women of the race who, with tongue
and pen, is doing noble service for her
people, and she is a credit to them.
Too much cannot be done in the way
of holding up her hands by showing
appreciation for what she is doing and
planning to do. There is no place or
room for lattery here; only we'll
meant commentator for a woman
eminently worthy Of it. This wom-
ans pluck and grit and indefatigable
efforts put forth in the interest of
the well being of her people will sure
ly find a happy response in the worthy
emulation of other noble young women
in the times coming on. If her own
life inspires the lives of others to no.
BILE living and doing, it stands to rea-
son that she shall not have lived in
vain.

STATE SCHOOLS.

When the General Assembly of the
State reassembles on April 10, one bill
that will be likely to receive attention
in the Senate is the educational bill
passed by the lower house a few days
before the adjournment was taken. 1t
will be remembered, this bill as passed
specifies that only one State School is
to be established for Negroes. 1t fur
Their stipulates that less than S17, 900,
or about one-seventh of the sum total
set aside for State Normal Schools, be
applied to one for colored students.
The Negro population of this State is
about one-fourth, which justly entities
them to a like proportion of the ap-
preparation. Again, this State main
tains a university for whites that is
an institution of the first magnitude.
Negroes cannot attend this State Uni
versity according to the law of the
State. 1t is claimed that a few stud
ents are admitted to the agricultural
department, but no one has been able
so far to find them. But granting
that the claim set up is true, that is
no reason why such a discrimination
as has been made by the lower house
of the General Assembly should be al
lowed to go unchallenged. We have
called attention to this matter at other
times, but if anything has been done
by the Negroes to remedy the evil
it has been done in the most secret
tive way.
1t is seemingly the same old story
with our leading men or those who
are expected to lead in matters per-
tanning to the welfare of the race
lack of unity of action. Every n
wants to have the bill framed in such
a way as to guarantee that the school
will be near enough to his home for his
children to go to lunch at recess, when
as a matter Of fact, if an appropriation
is made for a Negro school by the
State Assembly, the body creating the
institution will have brains enough to
know that the thing created will have
to be located, erected and maintained.
The prime objects at this time are the
appropriation and the provision that
the institution be established on prin-
ciples that will be to the best interest
Of the Negroes of Tennessee. We
should close our ears to every plea.
except the establishment of a Normal,
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
and that the amount appropriated for
that college be o~ne-fourth of the
amount set aside for educational pur-
poses. Every request made for appro-
priations for other institutions weak
ems that made for the State College.

TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.

IHO OR NJ WITNESSES.
Recently one gentleman on a street
car remarked to another: THAT party
is Mr.. So and So" The party referred
to was not conducting himself in a
way that would allay suspicion. His
mission was believed to be one of law
breaking, and of a grave nature. If
it could be proven beyond a reasonable
doubt that he was. the community
would be greatly benefited. But the
Negroes of Nashville weaken on that
point. 1t is an easy matter for a
policeman to apprehend some poor
thoughtless fellow who perhaps has
stolen less than a dollars worth Of
food or clothing, but when some one
who has wealth is committing deeds
that are sapping the life out of the
race it is hard to find a single man
who will stand up and say it is so.
Consequently every effort to stamp out
the evils that are doing so much to-
ward our destruction are met with
that truth that has stood the test of
time: "In the mouth of two or three
witnesses shall every word be estab-
lished."
