HENRY CLAY'S DREAM
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY,

TT was ninety-siX years ago-Aug-
ust /, 1SI6-the great Kentuckian's
= dream reached the initial stage OF
its naturalization in the shape of the
american Colonization Society.
CLAY had a heart in him that was
as big as mountain, and ne coulo
well have exclaimed with the Roman
poet, I am man, and thereIoIe
nothing that is human shall be mat
ter Of Indifference to me.
The representative of a slave state,
and himself a slave owner, Clay dearly
loved the thought of freedom, and his
fsthering of the American Colonization
society was largely due TO the 1aet
that he was anxious. by the means OF
such society, to establish somewhere
Of the South might find freedom and
the opportunity TO show what was IN
them
Apart from his natural humanitar-
iauism. Clay knew that slavery was
the one great menace to the peace and
safety of his country; and II was
therefore, with a double reason that he
took up with such vim the founding
of a negro state IN Africa
Mainly through Clay's enthusiasm
the wear 1920 witnessed the founding
of Liberia on the coast Of Upper
Guinea. West Africa Some thousands
of negroes from the United States
were assisted to the new state. and II
was hoped that under the leadership OF
these native blacks not only OF Liberia,
but Of all Africa might ultimately be
conducted to a higher civilization
With Monrovia rs its capital, the
United States as its special guardian
and all the countries of Europe as its
friends and we'll Wishers, Liberia start

ed along its way. Philanthroplsts the
world over had great hope, and M
Clay was especially joyful
But, unfortunately, the experiment
would not work From the very be-
ginning il was a failure; and today,
% years after the experiment began,
Liberia is in the hands of a receiver,
waiting to be disposed OF IS the receiY-
er may determine.
For many years there was almost
perpetual war between the native
blacks and those that had come from
the United States to "ciYilize' them
The government did not govern; the
statesmen" had no craftsmanship;
the administrative ability that is so
essential in officials was not forth
coming, and chaos and old night
reigned everywhere.
Instead of lifting the native negroes
up to the level of their partial ciVih-
zation, the ex-slaves from America fell
to the level Of the African savageS. and
before the first quarter of century
had passed il was apparent to all dis
corning minds that the Liberian eX-
pertinent was a forlorn hope.
What the political future of Liberia
is to be does not yet appear. Wheth-
er at q nod from this country the Lib
erian territories are TO be gobbled up

ed to step into both Hayti and Liberia.
