BY FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON.

The continued aid which the Metho-

ton has given for the maintenance Of
educational institutions for Afro-Amer-
leans in the United States is one of the
best evidences that the race has proved
itself worthy OF such help. This may
be readily seen when we consider the
large number Of brilliant, useful and
influential men, products of these In
situations, who have worked their way
up through these schools and who are
now filling important places as min
listers and teachers among their peo-
pie throughout the United States.
Some Of the able men who are reflect
ing credit upon the denomination and
honor upon the race are: Bishop l. b.

Of the board OF home missions and

DR.. Thomas has Travelled from one
end OF the United States to the other
during the four years which he has
been field agent and has a thorough
knowledge OF racial conditions. He
has just returned to his home in Bal

says:
Despite the burdens our people
have to suffer they are making COM

About the time Of his graduation from
the high school the Spanish-American
war broke out. he Immediately got
busy and soon connected himself with
an officer who was raising a regiment
Of 'simmunes." He rendered valuable
services In organizing this volunteer
regiment and was commissioned a lieu

When the war ended his regiment
was mustered out. But the military
ar1or was still burning high, and the
lieutenant in the volunteer army re-en-
listed in the regular army as a pri-
vate. There were sneers and express
sions Of deep disgust among some Of
his associates. but Davis was not TO
be halted or discouraged. he was
fired with the military ambition and
was soon promoted to the post OF regi-
mental sergeant By hard study he
soon prepared himself for the commits
stoned officers examination, passed
with honor and secured the much COW
eted prize.

several engagements in the Philippines.
He was a victim Of the fever and how

where the Indians became unruly at
times. In Fort Washable, wyo.. he
married the sweetheart Of his youth,
who journeyed from Washington city
to wed her military hero, who had just
returned from the orient. Fort Du-
Quesne and Fort Robinson are among
the forts where be has been stationed.
For the past three years he has been
