THE Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man" was the doc
trine preached by Bishop Kilgo last
Tuesday evening. This address was
cne of the most inspiring, able and
courageous examples of higher man
hood ever heard in this city. So
cialis'n, mob law, and all the politi-
cal .hisms that are the product OF
mer rnbued with the spirit of polit-
ical ggrandisement were assailed by
hin The fundamental principles Of
civn alton were so depicted by him
that was clearly evident, as defined
by b utterances, that the exigencies
OF til .se things require a rebuilding.
We have got to recast many of our
political doctrines and revise some
of our fundamental conceptions of
this civilization. We must first OF
all revise our ideas of the basis OF
our democratic government" said the
Bishop in pointing out the many fal-
lacies and weaknesses of this gOve:l-
ment.
He took such a manly stand con-
cerning the rights of every man that
he elected pronounced applause from
his large audience. He said that so
far as the physical, mental and moral
attainments of a man were concern
ed. no two men were equal, but ev-
cry man is endowed with divine
right which every man should re-
sCect. The conceit of individuals
worshiping the idea of individual SOW
ereilnty, he said, placed thegovern-
ment in such a position that it is
likely to explode.

ership that will lead, not demagogs, "

Last Thursday morning in the Av-
cry Auditorium of the institution an
unusdal scene at this school was en-
acted. The occasion was the fare
yell lecture by DR.. w. Y. Chapman,
81 Newark, N. J., one of the great
est preachers in America and a pro-
found scholar and a true type of the
old abolitionist stock Men and wo-
men in the audience shed tears when
this broad-hearted servant of God
gave his parting words. The pro-
found wholesome lectures which were
scholarly; practical teaching ;the per
sonality of the man, with his deep
feeling of respect for every man, be
he plebeian or patrician, effectively
reached everyone who heard him. He
entered the very soul of his attentive
audiences that came TO hear him dur,
ing the entire week he was here,
THE By-Products of Christianity
was the interesting subject of tht
kSt lecture of this noted theologiar
who stood squarely on the race ques,
ton and never once failed to regis,
ter his conviction upon a number o.
things touching upon the proper rec
ognition of the Negro as a factor
in life and to be given every oppor
tunity guaranteed a citizen.
One could not help from applaud
ing the man when he made plair
ones relation to ones neighbor. AT
ter giving one of the most instructive
talks ever heard here on such a sub
ject, he exclaimed in no uncertain
tones that his religion was such tina
he treated all men as his brother.
