MEHARRY NoTEs.

Christian Advocate or Chicago, Ill
inois. DR.. Stewart who is a staunch
friend of the colored race spoke in
laudable terms concerning the strides
of the Negro since his Emancipation
and the good that is being done by
Meharry Medical College. On intro
duction by Dean Hubbard the Doctor
arose and spoke in part as follows:
There are two problems at present
before the American people-the Ne
gro and the white man and | am per-
fect1y persuaded that we must assist
each other in the solution of same.
Il congratulate you in the first
place upon belonging to a race which
is doing this great workout of your
race came a man whoes influence in
the church did more than any since
Christ Three-fourths of the protest
ant Christians have taken their faith
from an African.
I'm the second place l congratulate
you on belonging to race which has
furnished modern history with the most
remarkable developments in the
world-In less than one half century
you have made a greater record than
any other race.
"In the third place, l congratulate
You on the choice of your profession. |
do not know which predominates the
ministry or med cine but in my opin-
ion the ministry to the body seems
to take precedence, as the unhealthy
body cannot take IL the true religion.
If Calvin had the opportunity of be-
ing administered to by a graduate OF
Meharry Medical College, he would
have changed his faith in his theolog-
cal Essays I call upon you this day
as a man calling upon men, that by
all you hold sacred make use of that
hold and glorify God for this oppor-
tunity.
again I congratulate you on being
here in what is regarded the first
school for the people of your race.
The Northwestern people are very
anxious with regard to your progress,
because of the peerless, matchlesS rec
ord of your Dean. There is no heart
that is not moved by the fact that
Doctor Hubbard came here and vol
unfairly exiled himself from the
North, giving his heart, soul and
body to the cause. He has launched
school which is not only a credit
to himself but to the race-yes, to the
world.
81 congratulate you upon the oppor-
tunity which is offered you in con-
tributing aid of the development of
the great nations.
IL the last place, gentlemen, con-
graduate you upon the fact that you
are receiving not only a scientific
education but religious education"
In the conclusion of Dr. Stewards
address, Bishop J. M. Walden, D. D.,
LII. D., was asked to speak briefly to
the students. He said; This is the
first time | have had the opportunity
of seeing the student body together
It is a matter of great interest to me,
for of all the matters Of importance
which confront me, this institution
with which you are identified comes
first. If Harvard or Yale, or even
the great schools of our own denomi
nation had not had an Alumni-f
walking advertisement, we would
never have heard of them The re
sponsibilities are on your shoulders
the future Of Meharry with her grad
yates. The opportunity of the trainet
physician is greater than that of an,
other professional mans. There i
no calling in which your people be
come such object lessons as in yours
It is not what you think of yourselves
but what you command others t
think of you. What you have hear
termed "The Negro Problem" I teri
i ga National Problem" A mans II
sponsibility is measured by his oppo
tunity. Your department, your spi
it, your success are all contributin
to the stimulation of your people. 70
are the eXemplars of your peopl
4 And if you approach them in tn
: Christian spirit and maintain it yo
: will contribute a large share to tt
e solution of the problem. I rejoice
/ the privilege of looking into YOU
= faces, and it is my desire that ever
= one of you should add to the nur
bers which have made the record b
/ fore you, and be lights to your Ain
y Mater"
