cHAs. STEWART LECTURES.


certain man or woman will lecture at |
any given place there is always much
speculation as to how it will be and |
what kind of an audience will be there. |
This was not the case when it was
made known that Chas Stewart would |
be here for a special lecture as his |
ability to entertain as we'll as give |
wholesome advice was well known
His first lecture for the year in this
city was delivered to men only. At
$3.50 p. m. last Sunday large audi
ence of men filled the auditorium on
this occasion. His second appearance
was at st. Paul A. M. E. Church at
m. Monday to women only and they,
like the men, came out in force to get
tho benefits of the entertainment in
store for them.
The climax was reached when. he
fore an audience which literally
packed Meharry Auditorium Monday
night, the noted speaker and newspa-
per correspondent, deli> cred a practi-
cal and helpful lecture on "Sambo
Waxed Fat and Kicked" The audi
ence was composed of some of the
leading men and women of Nashville,
together with the teachers and stu
dents of Walden University and Me-
harry Medical College.
This was Stewards first time to de-
liver popular lecture in Nashville
and the people, despite the rain turned
out to hear the foremost Negro news
paper correspondent in America. His
lecture was humorous and freighted
with good advice to the members of
the race, which, if followed, will re-
suit in much good.
The theme was a parody on the
famous "Jeshurem Waxed Fat and
Kicked" after God had prospered him
he forsook God and worshiped idols.
The speaker declared that God had
gone over home and brought the Ne
gro to this country, and after getting
fat after getting homes and money in
the bank, many of them had waxed fat
and attempted to kick away from the
race.
1--WE have Negroes going over this
country offering excuses for being Ne
groes. Some white man has said to
them you are really too smart to be
a Negro and they have tried to get
away from their race, ashamed of
their physical construction, ashamed
of their color, their hair. The sooner
Gabriel sounds his trumpet calling
that class of Negroes to heaven or
somewhere else the more love the self
respecting Negro will have for the
noted trumpeter.
1.-THE color of the skin or the tex
ture of the hair never yet made a man
and never will The Negro, like 9th.
er men in this country, needs brains,
brains, my friends, and character will
do the work, and Sambo can afford to
kick away from anything which tends
to tear down and seek the things
which will elevate him.
False conception of manhood Is
another thing which we must wax fat
and kick away from. 1t seems that
many of our young men to-day think
that manhood should consist of bag
of tobacco book of cigarette paper
