Taking this text from Acts xviii:

Nearly half century ago." he said,
"the shackles were taken from the
limbs of 100000 Negroes in the
South but the work of emancipation
will take the great heart of God and
the mighty army of the church of
Jesus Christ to give the Negro of our
Southland that greater and higher
emancipation of the mind and soul
from ignorance, immortality and sin.
"The F'reedmen's Aid Society was
organized to aiG the Negro. At the
close of war none could read or write;
they had no property, no standard of
morality and no religion. Today they
own S1,000,000,000 worth of property,

preachers, editors, poets and intellec-
tual leaders among their own race.

Passport to Freedom.
Edward Smyth Jones, a native of
Mississippi, bids fair to rival Paul
Laurence Dunbar as a writer of verse;
Mr.. Jones has long cultivated the muse
and gained much public notice year
or so ago when he was arrested as a
vagrant while trying to enter Harvard
university. THE Ode to Ethiopia" is
a historical epic and is regarded as
being responsible for his being releas-
ed from the Jail at Cambridge. Mass,
where he was confined after being ar.
rested at Harvard. Even Judge Ar
thur P. Stone, who dismissed the
charge of vagrancy against him, said,
"Gentlemen. do not wish to be judge,
but this is better poetry than find in
the current magazines"
The Boston American called this
poem "his passport to freedom" while
the Boston Globe said Of him and his
lode to Ethiopia" "One Of those gen.

affairs in this country at the

Mr.. Lincoln said:

How can any one who abhors
the oppression Of the Negroes

Of white people? Our progress
in degeneracy appears to me to
