lots OF honest and industrious col
ored people, too, but the conditions
In the cities are such that they are
not encouraged, and these are judged
by the bad Negroes. The Negroes
ought to get out of the cities. The
farm Is the place for them. l keep
urging my. friends to get out Of the
towns and to the farms, and more
and more are doing it. The race
never will progress much in the
cities, but it will go forward in the
country, where It's members are
away from the evil influences Of city
| life aud the glamor and show.
There is no race prejudice on
the farm. A bushel of corn raised
by Negro Is worth just as much
as bushel Of the same grade rails
ed by white man. The soil is there
and it Is just as easy for the Negro
to get his living from 1t as 1t is for

they cannot afford to raise their
children In town. When a white boy
gets out Of school in the summer
time he can always find a job. There
are plenty Of Jobs in, town for white
boys, but there are very few for the
black boys. During the summer the
little Negro boys loaf around the
streets. they get bad habits and
they grow up to be lazy and shift
less. There Is always work to be
done on the farm and there are no
streets to play In and no bad com
pan1ons to play with, and the Negro
boys and girls raised on the farm do
not become lazy and worthless.
No Excuse for His Race.

Civic Hopefulness.

If you want your home city to re- main stationary or to lose in popula ton. one sure way is to adopt ar apologetic attitude toward your home institutions.
 If you have a friend visiting Meri- den be sure to make it clear to him that you are able to recognize all the faults of the place you live in. There by he will perceive that you are a person of high social and business standards accustomed to move freely among the seats of the mighty and only condescending to mingle with the common people from some interesting ly eccentric whin.
 But although you may succeed in making this impression. your real es- tate or your business will not thereby grow more valuable, nor will your wages he increased.
 We have often noticed the feeling of pride with which people in a growing city speak of the place they live in. They talk of things in a large way. They call the little brook running through it a river. the pond is a lake, the hill q mountain. This habit is not the effect of growth. but a cause. and a very important one.-M eriden Jour nal.

PASTOR OF TWO PARISHES.
Two Growing Lithuanian Churches
 Keep Priest Busy.

Most cIergyn1en have all the work which they want to do in taking care Of one parish. says the Hartford Cour- ant but not so with Rev. Joseph Ze- bris, pastor of St. Andrews Lithuan- ian church. New Britain. He is not only pastor of the Lithuanian church there with a parish of 1900 souls, but he is also pastor of the Most Holy Trinity Catholic church, No. Al Capi- tot avenue. Hartford. Father Zebris is a tireless worker. He would not rest until he got both his parishes entirely out of debt. Now he finds that St. Andrews church has out grown it's edifice and he is preparing to erect a S30.O00 house of worship.
 Father Zebris has been in this country for seventeen years. and he has made a wonderful record as a church builder. He first located In Waterbury where he vas at St. Jo seph's Lithuanian church for four years He laid the cornerstone for now church in Waterbury Thanksgiv- ing. 1894 While still engaged in par islI work in Waterbury. he came to New Britain and started a parish. He organized the Lithusnians so well that in a few months they had started to build a church, the cornerstone of which was laid in January, 1895. Fa- ther Zezris came later to New Britain to take full charge. This edifice has been moved back and remodeled into a parochial school to make room for the new church.
