It can also be appropriately used In
all adult or Bible classes, as 1t con-

grand master Of the Free and Accept
cd Masons Of the jurisdiction Of North

Of character and exceptional executive

Of the church's appreciation Of the
worth Of this splendid character was
the reelection by the general confer

present office he so creditably Oils.
Professor McRary was first elected
at the general conference In. 1908 and
has created greater interest In behalf
Of the race In the church's educational
activities. The appropriations for edu-
cation among Afro-Americans has been
increased, and the sentiment created
BY the Hon. R. B.. McRary means
much In the general advancement Of
the race.
The Importance Of the position held
by, Professor McRary and the far
reaching effect Of his character are felt
for good IN many ways. There arc
twenty-One schools for the race in the
south carried on under the auspices Of
the Freedmen,s Aid society-viz, one

COUNSEL FOR ADVANCEMENT.

Prsoepts Adopted by the Tuskssss Ne
gro Conference.
The following declarations of princi-
pies were adopted by the Tuskegee Ne
gro farmers conference during its re-
cent session. at the Tuskegee institute
In Alabama:
AT this twenty-second annual meet
ing of the Tuskegee ANIMAL. Negro Cos
ference, fifty years after Abraham Lin
coin set us free. we rejoice at the eu-
dences we see around us Of the prog.
ress Of the people of our race.
"While we rejoice In the opportuni-
ties that have come to Us with emanci-
patton, we recognize that complete
freedom can. come to US only as we
gain the knowledge that will flt US to
use these opportunities.
I'VE therefore urge upon our people
everywhere. especially upon our teach
ers and preachers to see to It that the
masses Of our people are given the
kind Of eduea tion that will At them to
be honest, industrious and law abiding
citizens.
1--WE advise all Of our people through
their local conferences, business
leagues or other organizations to urge
upon the, proper authorities and also
upon their own people the wisdom and
necessity Of improving the school,
houses, lengthening the school terms
and of securing teachers who are able
to at the education In the schoolroom
to the needs Of the community outside.
1--WE are glad to learn by the last
census that during the. first fifty years
Of our freedom something like 10 per
cent Of our people have learned to read
and write. We urge especially upon
the farmers Of our race to make use Of
this knowledge, to read the agricul-
tural papers, make themselves. ac-
qua1nted with the best scientific meth
DDS Of improving their lands, increas-
ing their stock and help to bring In an
era In the south when the farmer will
stop robbing the land and begin en-
riching It .
"In this connection we are glad b
know that our farmers are making
progress, as, Is shown by the presence
here today of a colored man who rails
Cd 200 bushels of corn upon one acre
Of land. thereby winning among 10000
contestants the second prize offered BY
the state of Alabama to the farmers
who raised the largest amount Of corn
per acre
'Tn conclusion we urge upon an of
our people north and south to make
this nftieth anniversary Of our free
dom the beginning Of more united
effort to the end that the progress of
the next ifty years may be even more
rapid. more enduring and more worthy
OF the respect Of the world than that Of
the past"

Conviction In rheater Case Upheld.

By uphOlding the criminal conviction
of the manager Of u theater in New
York city for excluding colored man
from the orchestra who held seats for
that section Of the playhouse the ap-
pellate division Of the supreme court
Of New York gives fair and impartial
Interpretation Of the law governing
the rights and privileges of citizens in
such cases. The action of the court is
stimulating indeed to the race and
should serve as a warning to the
thousands Of public concerns of vari.
Gus kinds whose promoters delight ir
drawing the color line.

NEVER A FOE, BUT A FRIEND
NEVER AN ATTACK BUT A
CHAMPION.

Those who believe that Providence
exercises an especial rule over the
destinies Of the race, may find new
encouragement In this observation
and facts which bear it out in the his
tory Of the country. There arises no
foe. however bitter or influential but
there comes forth a stronger friend.
The race suffers no attack but there
Is made q better defense. Whatever
the challenge, a worthy champion
enters the lists to vindicate the cause.
Is It not so, you whom reading or
experience have informed? The one
unanswerable argument to employ
against the pessimist who has lost
hope for his race in America is to
confront him with the declaration
that we have Caucasian friends, that
able leaders OF the dominant race,
will stand for Justice to their swar-
thy brothers.-The Los Angeles Age.

There will always be strong defend

Justice and hate injustice to fellow
