Mortified (Mass.) schools, spoke yes
terday morning to the United Pastors
Association of this city, on the ere
ligiouS Education and Training of the
Negro Race" The unanimous judg-
ment of the pastors present, both
white and colored, was that the ad-
dress was one of the Sanest and most
helpful yet delivered on this question
in this city. DR.. Shepard said, in
part:
Religious education awakens the
sluggish, dormant energies of an indi.
vidual and turns them into channels OF
usefulness. 1t stops the large amount
of waste material found in jails, peni-
tentiaries and chaingangs, and puts il
TO useful service. 1t adds to the ma

protects the home and causes peace
to reign instead of confusion.
ITO educate a'man religiously doe:
not mean that he is to shout on Sun
day and do poor work and devilmen
on Monday, but it means to do tn,
very best and to put the very bes
into life's work.

counties manifesting an interest in
this matter before October Is.
The train will consist essentially Of
exhibits bearing upon poultry. hogs,
dairying and domestic science. A

try. flat car for exhibitionpurposes
a car to be used for lecture purposes
and to carry scientific exhibits and
another for the accommodation Of lee

taking an active interest in the sub
