' . il
Experience has shown aud history
bears witness to the fact that In every
crisis Of a race or nation God always
has In reserve Il man or person to meet
the emergency. While Afro-Ameri-
cans have made commendabie prog
ress along most all lines Of human
endeavor to uplift themselves. no par
ticular effort has heretofore been made
to give the young men and women Of
the race such religious training In toto
as would fit them for the best possible
service to themselves and the race.
The idea of DIR. James Il. Shepard OF
Durham. N. c., to erect national re-
ligious training school and Chautauqua
ut Durham for the above purpose has
met with almost universal approval
and is an assured fact.
DIR. Shepard says, MAKE a man prac-
tically religious and the Industrial and
educational side will take care of it.
self" His plans for such a movement,
similar to Winona Lake In Indiana and
the Moody Bible school at Northfield,
Mass, he sets forth as follows:
First.--To train men and women in the
Bible and thus change the inner life and
with this life changed send them to
change others.
Second.-It Is also planned to have lit
erary department especially adapted for
the illiterate minister. Tho ministers OF
the Negro race are the real leaders of the
race and for the next three or four gem

$1,000 of them in the United States. A safe
