SERVES ONLY GOOD FOOD.

A few weeks ago a colored business
man stopped to laud the service of
white restaurants that serve colored
persons in the downtown district.
Whatever his motives, they did a
grave injustice to one place, the Mon
treal lunch room, which has been so
signally successful in it's quick lunch
counter service, that it has depopu-
lated the lunch cars and other places
that catered to that trade 1t has
women cooks and it's kitchen will
bear inspection. 1t serves good
wholesome food, and Mr.. Davis, the
proprietor, wishes the public to know
that he refuses to handle the cast-off
foodstuffs which the cars and hog
walks sell
There is no reason why persons
should invade the home in the hour
of death, testifying to the superior
excellence of the white undertake.
The Negro doctor should not be as
sailed in his absence by friend of
the family" in an endeavor to sup
plant him with white practitioner
The services of the colored real es-
tate dealer should be no less satisfac-
tory because he is of our own race.
Mean-hearted envy should not make
us hate to see the prosperity of one
another. Yet it does. There is need
of a new emancipation, in which We
consecrate ourselves to manliness
and merit.

ABOLITION SOCIETY MEETS.

Great Human Rights Organization
Holds Celebration In Philadelphia.
Few meetings bearing on the tifdeth
anniversary of the issuance of the
emancipation proclamation held thus
far this year have been fraught with
more historic interest than that of the
Abolition Society of Pennsylvania,
held recently in Race Street Meeting
House, Philadelphia. The society was
organized in 1175. The meeting was
largely attended by members of both
races, and there was much enthusiasm,
mingled with optimism. aroused by the
speakers.
Mr.. Henry w. Wilbur, president of
the organization, spoke eloquently of
the progress of the colored people, lay
ing special stress on the agricultural
needs of our southern schools. Presi-
dent Wilbur said that he had seen land
enough lying fallow in the south to pro
duce enough food to supply all the cit
les in the south without drawing on
any other section of the country.
Among the other speakers was DR..
James E. Shepard, president of the
National Religious Training school,
Durham, n. C. DR.. Shepard's subject
was, "The Religious Training of the
Negro" He defined religious educa-
ton as the education which helps a
man to see himself as he really is,
which makes him put his best into all
that he does. No man is worth while
unless he arrives at this point, was the
speakers opinion. People talk with
tears about the African in the jungle,
said DIR. Shepard, but not one tear of
sympathy is shed for the man here at
home in the jungle of prejudice.
Mrs. Sarah Taylor, DR.. Jordan and
Mrs. Anna NJ. Jackson each made in
teresting addresses. Dr. Jordan was
loud in praise of the work which the
Abolition society had accomplished in
the past. but concluded by saying that
its work was not SO nearly done as
many think. "You will never know"
said he, 1.-The burdens the colored peo.
pie have carried, but their achieve
ments have been truly great"

ZION BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.

The service which has been ren
dered the congregation of Zion and
the community generally by the
preaching of DR.. Howard will not
soon be forgotten, and even when
men cease to remember the influence
of his great sermons will have left
its mark. For clear. forceful reason
ing, energetic delivery, enriched by a
wealth of illustration, DIR. Howard
has few equals in the pulpit. And
one thing may be said greatly to the
credit of Zion's congregation, it was
able to appreciate the kind of gospel
which he preached.
The meeting closed Friday evening
with between forty and fifty addi-
tions to the church, about half of
whom came for baptism There have
been few men in Zion's pulpit lately
who could be of so great help to the
pastor and the work which he is try
ing to prosecute as Bro. Howard has
been in this meeting The entire
church regrets he could not remain
with us longer.
There will be baptismal service
at both the morning and evening
services sunday. we nope TO nave
every candidate baptised by the first
Sunday in the month of March.
The auxiliary work OF the church
will take up its regular routine next
week. The Mems Bible Glass will
meet at the church Tuesday evening;
teachers meeting at the home of the
pastor Thursday evening. Other an
nouncements will be made from the
pulpit Sunday.
The pastor hopes next week to see
a large number in the Wednesday
evening prayer meetin. 1t will be
good thing for those who have lately
begun the Christian life to be pres
ent.
DR.. Howard will preach at this church
tomorrow evening.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Our planets course around the sun,
Once more the day has brought us,
Which takes us to the birth of one
Who noble lessons taught us;
The day when on life's busy stage
Appeared that gallant actor
The friend, the patriot and sage,
The nations benefactor.
Though obstacles, in early life,
Stood frequently before him,
Though clouds of penury and strife
Hung obviously DER him
The smiles of fortune, one by one,
Beamed on his humble station,
And fame declared her sturdy son
The hero of the nation.
Americas true president.
In Freedoms cause he perished;
He saw, by foul oppression rent,
The soil his fathers cherished!
He grieved and prayed for them who
strove,
With servile chains around them;
And, with the strength of human
love,
He broke the gives that bound
them.
True, independent, liberal, brave,
Loves nightly power revealing,
The CLINT of gold could not deprave
His warmth of human feeling!
He saw the grand, the good in all
In every work and creature;
And, though scarce known in Learn
ing's hall,
The great World was his teacher.
From sire to son, posterity
Shall tell the martyrs story,
Who slew the fiend of Slavery,
And ages sing his glory.
And brighter yet the deeds will glow
Which to the world entwined him;
And stronger still the ties shall grow
That to our bosom bind him.

pany. 1t has stood the test of time.
1t is past the experimental stage. In
the face of the fact that property for
sale is listed with many agents and
at one price, some colored persons in
sisted that it could not give the serv-
ice other agencies could. In the
handling of investment property
again it had to meet and overcome
prejudice. Now it has achieved a
substantial footing and is recognized
as reliable. The suggestion follows
naturally that its services should be
enlisted in the making of real estate
deals and the handling of property.
