The remarkable progress which the
Negro race has made in America since
its emancipation is strikingly shown in
the iiftieth anniversary edition of the
Negro Year Book" While the Negro
race is known to have achieved many
notable things during its period of
freedom in America, the tabulated rec
ord shown in the Year Book will prove
astonishing. even to the warmest
friends of the race. The chronicle OF
attainment is really staggering when
it is realized that this race has been
under handicaps which probably have
no parallel in moaern history. In 1862
having practically nothing of its own
in the United States. with all but an
almost negligible portion of the race
held in bondage, the Negroes of the
country today own hundreds of mil

his voice in defense of the shedding
Of blood in the attempt to subjugate

Without attempting to justify it. he

Bishop Brent has dealt particularly
with the difficulties of the struggle
which the American church has now,
for the first time, engaged in with
the Mohammedan faith, (which he
characterized as a mighty and grow
ing religion with an effective propa-
ganda. He expressed pleasure at the
success which had attended the eff

the only effective missionary work

The first thing to do, he said, is to
show the Moros that the Americans

but actually mean them we'll. When
that lesson is thoroughly taught he
thinks the Moros will become pacific.
Otherwise. he said, these people are
born fighters, and will never yield.
