officer, every right due him or her,

Deacon Hawkins was born in
Charles County, Maryland and came
to this city many years ago, and for
several years, has been employed in
one of the departments Of the gov
ernment.
He early connected himself with
the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church
and during the twenty-five years Of
Doctor Lees pastorate, he was his
staunCh friend, able assistant, and up
on whom Doctor Lee relied most i'm
plicity for help and guidance in the
conduct Of the Spiritual affairs of the
Church.
After the death Of Doctor Lee. for
more than a year before the calling
OF Doctor Willis as pastor, Deacon
Hawkins was practically head of the
Spiritual affairs of the Church with
Deacon and Trustee Boards OF said
Church.
The Church hourished under his
administration as head Deacon; the
Church without a pastor, continued
in its growth in membership and
financial progress. He had as his able

THE SHEPARD IDEA
Spreading Among the Whites
(FrOm an Exchange.)

kFTOm an EXCndng6.)
1t was many years ago that a wave
of sentiment in favor Of higher edu-
cation swept over the race A fewer
number of years ago industrial train
ing was brought forcefully to our at
tentions. If we read correctly the
signs of the times not many years
hence the religious training in schools
established for this especial purpose,
will be acclaimed everywhere a new
panacea for our racial troubles. In
founding his religious training school
at Durham, n. c., DR.. James E. Shep-
ard seems to have originated a line OF
educational work that will take strong
hold not alone on the Negro people OF
America, but on the whites as well.
1t IS a peculiar fact that a Negro
leader has thought out and popular
lied each new possible solution of the
race problem, and each Of these
movements has been along education
al lines. DR.. J. c. Price stirred the
country on the idea of higher eduCa-
ton; DR. B. T Washington so inn
pressed his industrialism that the
whites appropriated the idea for their
own improvement; DR.. Shepards idea
is now being taken up by the whites
and they are BEGINNING to use it on a
large scale for their own betterment
not leaving the Negro altogether out
of the movement, however. 1t IS,
then. a noteworthy fact that Negroes
have worked out almost independently
the ideas for the development OF
their people, while the whites have
furnished most Of the 'wherc-with-all
to put these plans into operation,
themselves being influenced by the
transaction.
Much attention is being attracted
just now to the American Inter
church college being established in
Nashville, Tenn, to train individuals
for carrying on religious work. The
main college, for whites, will be af-
filiated with Vanderbilt University
and Peabody College. while the col
ored department will be affiliated with
the colored colleges OF the city. The
Interchurch College has a capitaliza-
ton of $I,OOO.OOo There will be
raised 100000 for the colOred depart
ment, making the total endowment

4 layman wonders If a movement
of this kind means that the church is
losing ground and must in this way be
reinforced to be saved itself; or does
it show that the church has failed in
fulfilling one of its missions? It has
boasted of fitting workers for the
Masters vineyard. Is this important
feature of church work to be turned
over to religious schools?-Southern

COURTS DECISION
IN DR.. WASHINGTONS AS
SAULT CASE ASTOUNDING
TO ALL SPECTATORS.
In the Face of the Most Convincing
Testimony Two Judges Favor
the White Defendant.
Special to The Bee:

OpeCldi 10 ne Bee:
New York, Nov 6-After several
delays and continuances, asked for
by Ulrich, the assailant of DR.. Wash
ingtOn, the case was called and tried
today. Ulrich has each time secured
a continuance of the trial on the plea
that his witnesses were not present,
and yet when the trial was called to-
day he had no other witness than
he has had at previous times, except
Mrs. Alvarez, who posed as his law
tul wife when the assault was COM
mItted. DR.. Washington has been
ready for the trial from the first, and
has pressed the case to completion
as duty he owed his race, the public
and himself, canCelling many en-
gagements, and going to great ex-
pense OF time and money to be pres
ent at each date set for the trial
The story of the assault was told
in detail by Officers Hagan and
Tierney, and Wall Street bank
clerk who witnessed it, and b. DR..
Washington himself. So complete
and convincing was the testimony
showing how Ulrich and another as
sailant had brutally beaten the edu-
Gator that the spectators were as
founded when after Ulrich and the
woman who was variOusly described
in the testimony as Mrs Ulrich'
and Mrs. Alvarez" had testified, the
judges by a divided decision Of two
to one decided to aCquit the defend
ant, on the ground that the proof OF
assault had not been clearly proven
To prove his contention that he had
nothing to conceal, DR.. Washington
fought the case to a finish, and is in
no way cast down because the Judges
refused to convict him-Ulrich and
the woman paramour-swore most
atrociously in their efforts to fasten
odium upon him. He feels he has
done his full duty to his race and
himself in coming to New York to
prosecute his assailant, at great ex-
pense and loss of time and energy.

manity It would not be what its fol
towers claim. for It, a universal re-
ligion.
Historically the movement centers
about a trinity of revelators who have
appeared in modern times. The
First Point, the Bah. Elijah of
the day appeared in Persia in
1914 and conducted a great relig-
Ious and moral revolution. He
attracted many followers, about TWEEN
ty thousand OF whom were put to
death. After but six years of teach
ing the Bah (the Door or Gate was
himself put to death But before His
passing He warned His followers to
prepare their hearts for the coming
.Of the greatest manifestation of God
The Father, Bahia % llah (the splen-
dor of Cod arose soon after the pass
ing Of the Bah. He was a prisoner of
the Persian and Turkish Govern
ments forty years, spending most OF
this time at Aka, the penal colony
near Mt. Carmal, in the Holy Land
Out of prison He cOmeth to reign
and "Carmal shall see the glory Of
GOd!' He revealed a vast system
of laws for the government of the
human race and the instrumentalities
lOf universal unity. Among these are
"a universal calendar, a universal
tongue, universal peace, and a cOsmIc
race Before his passing in 1892, he
directed his followers, who now num-
bered about a hundred thousand, to
turn their faces toward his son, Abbas
Effendi, the greatest branch. This
son, under the title of Abdul BAHIA
(the servant of Cod at the age of o.,
is now the leader of the movement.
The writer has seen him There are
man others who testify to his sim
plicity, meekness, majesty, knowledge
and love
Bahais have been the victims of
much persecution. But the cause
thrives best under adverse conditions.
With the usual faith and courage
shown in various parts of the world,
the movement has grappled with the
race problem in America. A few of
its precepts are: "Close your eyes to
racial differences and welcome all
with the light of oneness"
The principles of religion is to les
sen words and increase deeds"
The first counsel is, possess a
good, a pure, an enlightened heart"
IF you have a word or a fragrance
which a brother has not, offer it with
the tongue of love and kindness. If
it is accepted, tie end is attained
If not, with regard to him deal not
harshly, but pray"

BAHAI REVELATION
InRelation toChristianity and
Oiher Religion
SCOPE, HISTORY AND;PSECEPTS.
By Louis G. Gregory.

About two years ago the writer
was asked by The Bee for an article
on the Bahai Revelation, the sO-called
New Religion We shrank from the
task, for the reason that no news
paper articles can do more than call
attention to so vast a subject But
now we find, in view of the recent
visit of Abdul Bahia to England, that
the British press IS teeming with the
subject, and that many of the arti-
Cles written have found an echo in
America So the time seems ripe to
use every agency to acquaint, as far
as possible, the people of the world
with the movement, and this we hope
to do IN part through The Bee and
its exchanges. May the Divine Light
inspire hope and cause inquiry.
The Bahai movement aims at moth
ing less than universal peace and the
solidarity of the human family
through the unihcation of all nations,
races, and religions. That there Is
one God; that the Infinite Essence of
God IS forever yelled from His Crea-
lures; that the name of God should
be one among all men; that in reali-
ty and essence all men are brothers
that the solution of all human prob
lens is to be found in the spirituali-
zation of the world; and that the
knowledge of God will cover the
earth as the waters cover the deep.
This partly expresses the spirit of
the teachings. Hence it can be seen
at once that the Revelation of Ba-
ha o llah Is not a new Religion. II
as rather a renewal of the Spirit of
Religion. 1t comes to antagonize no
existing church, sect, or religion, but
rather to unite all by harmonizing
