THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn
Congregational church, the widow of
DR.. H. w. Thomas read a sermon that
was delivered by him in 1893, on the
occasion of the. opening of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, entitled, "The
Universal Brotherhood of Man." In
the audience of over 1000 persons who
heard the original sermon there were
representatives. of every race and ma
ton in the world. 1t was a plea for
the abolition of race prejudice and an
exposition of the common interests of
all human beings The sermon was
remarkable one in the undisputable
facts it contained. 1t said "The hu-
man mind is the same wherever hui
man beings live. 1t puts men on
common plane, above every other form
OF life or matter. Be he European,
Celestial, Jew or African, he stands
above everything around him. HUI
man conscience is the same every
where. 1t tells every human being to
do what he thinks is right. It is the
common possession of men of every

At the recent session Of the Inter-
national Bible Students Association at
Washington, D. c., a resolution was
adopted repudiating as thoroughly I'M
scriptural "the teaching of a place,
state or condition of hell-fire and
birthstone for the torment of the
wicked" This was very consoling to
many of the people who don't care to
be worried about their future so muca
and cannot conceive of a God who is
all Love, furnishing His children in any
such manner. But it did not suit
some of the Afro-American brethren,
so they set apart last Sunday as "Hell
fire Day." Rev. Simon P. w. Drew
Of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church,
announced that he would preach in the
forenoon on 1.-THE Key to HELL" and
in the evening on "Hell-With Fire in
1t, Too" We don't know what the out
come was, but he no doubt made
things very warm for some Of his hear

In 1883 the Munsee, Oneida and
Stockbridge Indians joined forces, aft

by the march of civilization for a CEN
fury, and settled on a tract of land
near the head of Green Bay, Wis,
which they had purchased from the
Menominees. Since that date they
have become one tribe and are known
as the Stockbridges.
After years of pickering between
factions of the tribe, which fought
constantly over the question of secur.
Ing individual allotments of land or
establishing township and living in
one community, the proponents of the
township idea have won out and the
result Is a decision to have what re-

Lake Winnebago and what the gov

Chinese Are Happy Over the New Issue of Bills

the Wrong-but not the person suffer-
ing these things unless he allows
them to make him a worse man.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was an
emperor, and suffered only those
wrongs which emperors suffer. But
Epictetus, the slave, was Of the same
mind with him.
And remember this, that no class Of
men can remain in the pit if each one
sees to it that so far as he is con-
cerned there shall be a man in the
pit.
Shackles fall from the limbs of real
men. Individuals like Epictetus may
be real men and also slaves-though
Epictetus finally ruled his master by
sheer manhood.
But if all the slaves in Rome had
been men like Epictetus would they
have remained slaves? NO!
When men are in the pit they ami
hilate the pit.
The greatest need of the world is
manhood

THE MANHOOD IN THE PIT.

"A strong man may put me in a pit,
and keep me there, if he is strong
enough. But l will act so that he will
know that there's man in that pit"
1t was a Negro who said this. He
was speaking of the wrongs of the
Negro race.
1t has lesson for every man who
feels that he is oppressed. Wrongs
we must endure, but the wrong is half
undone when he who is in the pit
keeps his manhood unscathed.
Does your employment seem be-
meath you? Are you subject to hui
Mutations? You may not be able to
curb the evils from which you out
wardly suffer, but you may make re-
spectacle, and even noble, the pit in
which you are placed-by being

Famous Stockbridge Indians Are to Go West

IN ECIDING to abandon their tribal
II form of government and adopt the
white mans way of doing things, the
remnant of the Stockbridge tribe of
Indians, numbering 600 men, women
and children, will shortly become
citizens of Wisconsin and cease to be
under the supervision and guardian
ship of the federal government.
The Stockbridge Indians will have
a whole township to themselves, east
of Lake Winnebago, and other land
that the government intends giving
them. Already they are planning the
organization of a town government,
and they have written, to various fed.
eral and state officials about the state
for information respecting civil gov
eminent, parliamentary practice and
whatever else may be useful to them
in solving the problems before them.
Originally the Stockbridge Indians
were a part Of the Mohican confeder-
acy and were known under the name
OF Housatonic. When the pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, the
Stockbr1dges occupied part of the
Housatonic valley at Berkshire Hills,
Mass. Soon after the famous mis-.
