GOSPEL THE SOLUTION.
Rev. S. P. w. Drew Speaks on the
Race Problem

will the Gospel Solve the Negro Prob
lem?' was the subject of the opening ad-
dress last night at Willbanks Evangelical
and Industrial Institute in Friendship
Baptist Church. by DIR. S. p. w Drew
Rev. Mr.. Drew is pastor of the Cosmo-
poltan Baptist Church, this city, and
president of the William Mckinley Nor
NAL and Industrial School of Alexandria,
Va.
The Acknowledgement of the colored
voter of the south in an effort to solve
the race problem was denounced by the
speaker as mean and coWardly. He de-
clared the declination of the moral sense
of the nation had converted the repub-
lican party into party of money, rather
than a party of morals. Educate the
people in any section, he said, and you
make them better citizens, and purer
patriots, for knowledge is the handmaiden
of virtue, scbriety. order and thrift, and
the deadly foe of vice. crime and lawless
distur Dances.

Easter Oratorio.

The Easter oratorio, "Cross and
Crown" rendered at the Episcopal
church last Sunday evening before
large and appreciative congrega-
ton, was a splendid success in every
way. The beautiful decorations, OF
palms and flowers, which surrounded
the large choir of eighteen, clad IN
their splendid robes, made the ser
vice especially impressive.
In the rendering of the oratorio
the chorus showed the results OF
the excellent training Mrs. Curtis
has given them, and two choruses
which were sung with a soprano
obligato taken by Mrs. Curtis, her.
self, were especially fine. AS this
was palm Sunday, the music service
was opened by the singing Of the
tenor solo, palm Branches" by
Elmer Curtis, accompanied by a vio-
lin obligato played by Mrs. Light
ner. While the offering was being
taken up Mrs. Lightner played
beautiful violin solo.
The financial results were an Of
fering of twenty dollars as the be-
ginning of fund with which to pur-
chase church pews. The Cantata
is receiving so much praise that Mrs
Curtis is being urged to take the
chorus to Pocatello, Aberdeen and
Rockland.
