BIG PATRIOTIC Meeting
IN PARK STREET CHURCH.


Boston.-Park Street church was the
scene Of an interesting and patriotic
gathering on Wednesday evening, Jan.
l. The occasion was the celebration Of
the fiftieth anniversary Of the emanci-
patton proclamation, the exercises be-
ing held under the auspices Of the Wen
dell Phillips Memorial association. The
orator for the occasion was the Hon.
Samuel w. Mccall. The Introductory
address was made by the Hon. Frank
lin B. Sanborn, and the proclamation
of emancipation was read by Editor
Williams Monroe Trotter Of the Boston
Guardian. ~
Perhaps few other churches in Amer
lea are more rich in historical signif-
canoe than the famous Park Street
church in this city. 1t was in Park
Street church that America" with its
apostrophe to our ''sweet land Of lib
erty," was first sung; there that Gar
rison gave his first anti-slavery speech
in Boston, there that Sumner gave his
great address impeaching the "war
system Of nations and there that the
centennials Of the birth Of Sumner and
Wendell Phillips were celebrated.
The music was furnished by large
chorus from the Handel and Haydn
society and chorus made up from the
choirs of the colored churches Of Bos-
ton. The music consisted in large
measure of selections from the famous
program Of the celebration Of eman-
cipation at Music hall, in this city,
on Jan. 1, 1863, the day on which the
proclamation was issued, and was d.
rected by Professor ]. Sherman Jones.
At that celebration Emerson read his
noble Boston Hymn" and this same
hymn was read at the celebration held
I here on Jan. 1, 1913, by the Rev. Fran
els II. Rowley.
While it is important to look back to
the momentous historical epoch Of the
civil war which resulted in emancipa-
ton. says Edward D. Mead, it is no
less important for all Of us, after this
lapse Of half a century, to ask our
selves solemnly whether the great pur-
poses Of the emancipation proclama-
ton and the civil war have been
worthily and adequately realized. No
man Is fully emancipated when the
shackles are simply struck from his
ankles.
A man is emancipated only when his
mind is freed by opportunity and train
ing and the fullness Of the measure of
the stature Of equal citizenship is pre-
pared and guaranteed for him. This is
what we should most seriously con-
slider on such an impressive anniver-
sary, in the light Of our political and
religious duty, in the love Of the repub-
lie and in the spirit Of Abraham Lin
| coin.
w. M. Trotter was chairman Of the
committee Of arrangements having
charge Of the celebration, with w. b.
Bingham as secretary.

torate of the church Among the young
misses who served as secretary after
Mrs. Berry changed her residence TO
another city were the Misses Mary A.
and Fannie NJ. Perkins, who were In
turn succeeded by their mother. Mrs.
Anna A. Perkins, who has filed the
position with honor for the past twen-
ty-four years.
AS the church grew in membership
the demands upon the society became
larger and it's work Of benevolence
gradually extended beyond the men,
bers Of the church and began to give
aid in all needy cases outside Of Its
immediate territory. Food, clothing
and money for house rent and various
domestic objects have been freely dis
tributed to hundreds Of families and to
individuals.
The membership at the end Of 1912
was 293. Mrs. Perkins In making her
annual report says that the members
are liberal in their contributions and
seem to court the Scriptural Injunction,
He that giveth to the poor lendeth
unto the Lord" During the Christ
mas holidays the dinners to many per-
sons cost In all for food $51.
Under the leadership of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Alice w. Seay, small coin
bags were distributed among the men,
bers and friends In which to gather
an anniversary offering. The receipts
from these coin bags amounted to
$51.50, and the receipts from the rum
mage sale held previous to December
were 500, and receipts from dues, do
nations and sale of aprons and other
useful articles have enabled the so
ciety to do very large and helpful
work.
The influence Of the society has so
pervaded the membership Of the
church that many other clubs with
like aims and purposes have been Or
ganized. Among them are the Junior
Dorcas society, under the leadership
Of Mrs. Annie Il. Galloway; the Easter
Bell club. the Church Aid society, the
pastors relief committee, the Linen
Shower club the Silverlock club, the
w. @. T. U. and the FOrgetmenot Flo
raj club. Mrs. G. A. Bell and Mrs. Lot
tie Henderson are the two assistant
secretaries to Mrs. Perkins, who re-
Gently celebrated her eighty-frst birth
day.

RECORD YEAR IN FINANCE.
Alabama Savings Institutions Hold
Double Celebration In Birmingham.

Alabama Savings Institutions Hold
Double Celebration In Birmingham.
The opening of the new Alabama
Penny Savings bank building In Biz
mingham on Wednesday. Jan. l, at
forded an opportunity to the public in
and out of the city to personally wit
ness the progress Of Afro Americans In
big financial undertakings. The exer-
sises had a twofold purpose, the open
ing Of the new bank building and the
celebration Of the fiftieth anniversary
Of the issuance of the proclamation Of
emancipation.
One of the main speakers on this oc-
casion was former Congressman George
w. Murray of South Carolina. The ex-
ercises were interesting In every de-
tail.
The Alabama Penny Savings bank
was organized over twenty-five years
ago and is justly referred to as the
mother" of financial institutions
among the colored people Of the United
States. 1t has branches In Montgom-
cry, Admission and Selma. The bulk OF
business done by these institutions In
1912 amounted to $497 ,202.41.
DR.. w. II. Pettiford. founder and
president Of the Alabama Penny Saw
ings bank, declares that the institution
will make a special effort to get MEM
bers of the race to realize the neces-
sity Of saving more Of their earnings
and thereby become strong financially.
He regards the dedication Of this new
building and the successful career en-
bodied therein as q sign Of financial
freedom toward which the race Is fast
approaching.
The new building has been erected at
cost Of $4,000 and Is a six story,
steel REINFORCED structure In the heart
Of the business section. 1t is distinct
note In the mechanical and business
circles among colored people and was
designed by colored architects and
erected by colored contractors. It's ex-
terror is imposing and beautiful, and
the interior is of the best and most ap-
proved material in bank and Office fix
lures.
DR.. Pettiford, president, and Mr.. B.
FL. Hudson, cashier, both declare that
the Alabama Penny Savings bank and
its branches, are offering an opportu-
nifty to the race to answer SO far as 1t
relates to Its commercial development.
Has the Negro manifested in the past
fifty years of freedom sufficient evi-
dence Of his capability to become a rec
ognizsd factor in the commercial and
financial arena?
The success Of the Penny Savings
bank, like the progress of the race, ac-
cording to DR.. Pettiford, will be in
creased as the race learns to direct its
trade and patronage in channels that
will yield the best results.
The opening Of this new building,
with first class offices for the business
and professional men Of Birmingham,
speaks volumes for the business ability
Of the financial leaders of the Birming-
ham district and for the possibilities of
the colored people in this community.
Thoughtful and influential leaders In
large numbers from various portions of
the state Joined the Birmingham people
In the celebration.
