The subject of the message brought
TO both races by DIR. Meserve was, The

race, but gave both a straightforward.
wholesome and practical address on
the subject which was listened to
with close attention by every one pres

white and colored people alike, telling
them that if they respected themselves
and each individual realized the fact
that he was a factor in the progress OF
civilization and tried to obey the man
dates of God such an individual would
be respected in the community.
Among the vital facts compreben
sively discussed by DR.. Meserve was
the notable evidence that the birth
rate among Afro mericans. especially
in Washington and northern cities
where the Negroes could be found in
large numbers. was decreasing and
that the death rate was increasing to
an alarming extent His utterances
were strong in showing that the Negro

er tried to cater to the whims of either
race. but told the white man about

example that he sets for the Negro. He
