the heights from the Riverside drive
and into this the two descended. Pass,
ing a bench, the girl sank down into
1t, saying:
"I can't 60 any farther" |
Seeing that she was falling from the
bench. he held her up, and, believing
she had lost consciousness, he laid her
ont upon It. He chafed her hands and
famed her with his hat, striving to-
revive her. Finding that she still re-
mained unconscious, he put his race
down to hers to learn If he could de-
tect warm breath. He could not
Placing his hand on her heart ne
could not feel its beating.
The student felt troubled. He was
too chivalrous to desert the girl. Whenl
she came to consciousness findingl
herself alone might turn the -scafe-
against her. And yet he was not
sure that she was dead. Suppose he
were found in such situation with
<dssd girl. His whole life would be
blighted. He knew not what to do.
He tried once more to revive his COM
panion and, failing, resolved to 60 for
assistance. 1t would be far better for
him to 20, find some one to help and
tell a straight story than to be found
at dead Of night with dead woman.
The park is narrow, and the student,
crossing it, entered one Of the streets
near by. Catching sight Of police
man, he called to him and told him
there was a woman in the park who
needed assistance. But 4 few minutesl
were required to 60 to her, and on thel
way the student gave the cop bare
outline Of what had happened. AS
they approached their destination the
student was surprised to find the
bench empty.
Thinking he had mistaken another
for the one on which he had left the
girl, he went to the next on either
side. Both were vacant. Then he
looked up ut the cop and said In a star.
tied voice:
"She's gone"
"I thought you said she was dead or
dying"
"She was"
The policeman went back to his beat,
and the student went home. The next
morning the latter saw an account OF
the suicide by drowning of girl Ia
the Hudson river off Riverside park.
The body had not been recovered.
The student gave I'M his college
course. It was said that he had studied
! too hard. Be this as it may, he went
into sanitarium, where he remained
long while.

AVISION OF A
METROPOLIS
By MADGE ELLSWORTH

There is in New York what Is called
the Riverside drive, on which STANDS
General Grants tomb. A long strip
Of park overlooks the Hudson riVer
and the heights, or Palisades, on the
opposite side.
One summer night young man IN
evening dress sat on bench IN this
Riverside park. He had been during
the evening-well, perhaps It is better
not to say where he had been. New
York is an artificial city and possess
e. many attractions for those inclined
to gayety and at night is an illuminat-
ed pleasure ground. In its streets, some
Of them bright almost as day with
electric lights, one may see mixture
of every degree, from the highest to
the lowest.
This young man. student in Colum-
bia college, had been spending the
evening to suit himself and before
going to his room near by wished to
get the air in the park. 1t was desert
ed except by himself, and he found
the change from the bewildering
crowds in the streets refreshing. He
sat some time without a single per-
son passing.
Extremely drowsy, he was falling
into a doze when he suddenly became
conscious that there was some one SIT
ting ON the otker end Of the Delch.
Rubbing his eyes, he loo"ed anu saw
q young girl, her head resting on tHe
hack of the bench, her face, which
was very pale, turned upward toward
the stars. She was 1ashily dressed
and the student had but little do"Dt
rs to the class to which she belonged
He was about to rise and leave the
park when the girl said in ialnt
voice:
Take me to my ROOM
Are you ill?' he asked.
Unto death"
"Where is your room?'
"Not far. Come l will show you.
She put out her hand for him TO help
her to rise, and he noticed that it was
cold. In assisting hor he did not need
10 exert any strength. for she was
light as a feather. Indeed, 1t did not
sccIn to him that there was any weight
at AZ in her. she put her arm through
his and leaned oil him. but still there
was no weight.
"!Jarc vn.l TO hoT,":" he asked.
She shuhtlercd. Don't speak to me
of home. when a girl comes from the
country TO New York home IS thing
of the past
"Not all girls"
They walked on in silence. The arm
resting on his was not only cold, like
her hand. but there was dampness
about it that seemed to chill hlm 10
the very marrow. Moreover. he IAN
ried he heard Il faint gurgllng, ike
running water. The route TO her room
lay through lonely streets. and the
student would have been Glad TO be
free from her. But he feared that II
he disengaged himself she would fall
So he walked on, constantly yielding
TO the chill of her presence as II Il

him.

reward, but their work and memory
abide with us still. Many of them suf-
fered ostracism, abuse and persecu-
ton. Thank God some Of them lived
! to help mold a sentiment that even
tually resulted in their being received
and welcomed into some of the homes
of the best white people of the South.
There were colored heroes also the
Wilson's, Westors, Middletons, Saspor-
tases, Smiths, Bulkley and Rosemond
and Philips, and many others-men
who bore the brunt of battle, some
of whom chose rather to be humble
ministers of the Methodist Episcopal
church than general officers or even
bishops in some distinctively, Negro
church. l shall now proceed to as
sign some causes for our slow growth
first. The intense opposition to the
mother church on the part of our
Southern white people particularly
those of the Methodist Episcopol
church. Conditions prior to the civil
war rendered this unavoidable.
The southern white people felt, and
rightly so, that the M. E. church
was more largely responsible for the
Civil War and sent more soldiers into
~ Go1l int Tho hNc
pitals of the Union army than any
other denomination. AS a result in
tense feeling was manifested against
any white person who undertook to
organize among the colored people
Methodist Episcopal church. Later
the fraternal spirit manifested by our
white leaders caused reciprocation on
the part of such men as Bishops Ha-
good, Duncan, Smith and Galloway,
DR.. Jams H. Carslile and men of their
tamp, and allayed this prejudice in
a remarkable degree, and provoked
such fraternal spirit that for several
years We have had common church
hymnal and church catechism, and in
some localities the pastor Of the
Methodist Episcopal church is the best
friend our or any colored pastor has
in the community.
But for years the attitude Of the
Southern white people toward the
colored members as we'll as the white
members of our church in the South
was in marked contrast to their atti-
tude toward the colored people OF dis
tinctly Negro churches. They were
helped and encouraged.
Secondly. The liberal approprfa-
ton by our missionary societies OF
morley toward the support OF our
pastors and particularly our presid.
ing elders, where the changes could
have given them adequate support
The ministers of the distincitvely
Negro churches having no such aid,
were forced from necessity to get for
the most part, their entire support
out OF their people, and We're more
aggressive, and in labors more abund-
mt. They found that success
lay more in the heel than the head,
and were ever present among the peo-
pie.
Third. The bitter opposition and
prejudice our people had to encoun-
tor ON the mart of the members and
