MEHARRY BACCE-
LAUREATE SERMON
PREACHED BY BISHOP c. H. PHIL
LIPS, M. D., D. D.

On Sunday, April 20, large crowds
winded their way to the Meharry Au-
ditorium to witness the Baccalaurate
exercises Of Meharry Medical College
The sermon was preached by Bishop
c. H. Phillips of this city. He said
that for the first time during his min
isterial career he would use a manu-
script. After speaking of the days
when he was a student in Meharry,
he took for his subject, ''What is
Man?" The wonderful discourse was
helpful and very interesting from
start to finish, and was delivered with
much eloquence
Bishop Phillips dealt with man as
being the greatest thing in Gods ere
alton, and also of the many accom-
plishments and inventions since
mans existence.
In the course of his remarks he
pictured a cobbler in his shop on a
rainy day, expecting a visit from the
Heavenly Father; during the day an
old man came by with his clothes
all ragged and worn, then an old wom-
an with a heavy load on her back
came by, very tired and hungry; and
last a little child who had lost its
way came by. The cobbler did not
turn them away from his door with
out a blessing; to the old man, he
gave a pair of shoes; to the old wom-
an, his only loaf and carried the little
child to its mother At the close of
the day the cobbler felt somewhat
disappointed because the Lord had
not visited him, but while he was
musing over his disappointment a
voice was heard to say,
Three times to-day was at your
door,
Three times my shadow was on your
floor;
I was the man, you gave shoes for
feet,
I was the woman you gave to eat,
was the child on the homeless
street
Bishop Phillips instilled many help
full thoughts into the minds of the
young men,

CAMP FIRE.

The old soldiers held camp fire
at Lea Avenue Christian Church, We'd
nesday night. A large number of old
veterans were on hand to participate
in the festivities of the evening.
Camp stories and "reminiscences of
war times were INDUCED in and stor.
les Of victories and defeats on the
battlefield were told many of them
were in the great battles of Nashville
and surrounding country during the
Civil War. The menu consisted of
hard tacks, SOW belly, bread, beans
and coffee. 1t was served in army
style. The veterans acted as guides
to the visitors. It was inspiring to
see them ambling up to the pot to get
a cup Of beans and coffee bread and
bacon. They devoured the same as
only soldiers can.
There are over one hundred mem
bers of Lincoln Post and more than
fifty of the Women's Relief Post, No,

of the Grand Army Of the Republic.

MISS ANNA ALLEN DIES.

Miss Anna Allen, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Allen of Scovel street died

o'clock. Miss Allen had been sick for
some time but was thought to be en-
tirely out of danger She was able
to be out and attend the banquet of
Meharry Medical College, Friday
night, April H. She was APPARENTLY
on the road to recovery and her rela-
tives had hoped that she would soon
be strong and fully at herself
On Sunday she was in a cheerful
mood all day, and made no complaint
of her illness. Without any warn
ing, she took with a violent coughing
spell, which resulted in a hemorrhage
from which she died before medical
aid could reach her.
She was a very popular young lady
and was highly esteemed by all who
knew her. The Body was taken to
Carthage, Tenn, where the funeral
was held in the local church, Tues

hint of the work that Meharry has
done since it was established in this
city, being himself a graduate from
the University of Nashville Of the
class of 1876 and of Vanderbilt of the
class of 1879. He has also kept in
touch with the white physicians of
this city During the conversation
it was brought out that one of the
first members of the faculty of Me-
harry was DR.. w. j. Sneed, who was
close friend of Dr. Hubbard's and
who labored increasingly with him in
the establishment of the institution
and the training of the young Negroes
who were its first students. DR.. Sneed
was a southern born man, but he was
interested in the welfare of the Ne
gro along medical lines, and believed
that it was possible for black men to
learn the science of medicine. An
other great friend Of Meharry was the
late DR.. r. o. Tucker, one Of Nash
ville's leading white physicians. He
spent many years in the work with
DR.. Hubbard at Menarry. The late
Dr. Morgan was another stalwart
friend of the institution, serving many
years as the president of the Board
of Trustees.
Dr. w. Wttherspoon, president Of
the National Medical Association, a
man born in the south and who is
delighted to let the world know that
he is a son of the sunny cline, is one
of Or. Hubbard'S right-hand bowers
at the present time. He is untiring
in his efforts to secure for Meharry
Medical College the very fullest rec
ognition that can be secured when the
case of Negro medical colleges comes
up before the American Medical AS
sociation DIR. Witherspoon is the un-
tiring champion of Meharry. DR..
Hubbard never forgets to impress
the fact that the standing of Mehar-
ry is due largely to the support OF
DR.. Witherspoon.

colored colleges, and holds member

marched around from the southeast
and southwest doors of the Ryman
Auditorium, and filed down the two
central aisles to the stage. Individual
members who are well known in thii
city received applause from their
friends as they approached the stage.
On several occasions the great throng
who had assembled to witness the
closing exercises Of ne institution
broke forth in tumultuous applause,
expressing their appreciation Of the
efforts that had been put forth by
these young men and women to pre-
pare themselves for greater services
In life.
The Professional March was played
by Prof. l. ]. Berry. After the grad
uating class and members of the fac
ulty We're seated on the platfrOm, the
audience sang "Stand Up for Jesus"
Invocation was said by Bishop c. H..
Phillips. The Young Mems Glee Club
sang DAY Break" (Fanning). Dr.,
Hubbard, Dean of Meharry, introduced
DR.. Geo H. Trever, Professor of Gam
mon Theological Seminary, of Allan
ia, Ca, who delivered the principal
address to the class. He was filing
the engagement of DR.. J. Garland
Penn, who was unavoidably detained.
It must be said to DR.. Trever's credit
that he was laboring under a great
disadvantage as he had not sufficient
time to make any preparation, and
having come direct from inStructing
theological students his utterances
proved that he was completely absorb
ed in his regular work, for try as he
would he could not dissuade himself
from emphasizing the gospel minis
try. despite the fact that he was ad-
dressing medical class about to
graduate.
At the conclusion of the principal
speakers remarks, Dean Hubbard in
troduced introduced Bishop ], Fl. Lam

told of his experiences in Africa. The
bishops remarks received the closest
attention of the large assemblage, He

KNOWLES SCHOOL ALLIANCE

A meeting of the Knowles School
Alliance will be Friday night in the
Knowles School Building. The AL
lance will take up matters looking
to the betterment of condition in this
school. At the last meeting of the
Alliance the water condition was
brought up, and a committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon the school au-
thorities and ask them to allow the
citizens to run a water pipe in the
school yard. The only water the
children have there now is taken
from an old cistern and has been
analized by the city bacteriaoligist
and pronounced impure, and the pa
rents Of the children are alarmed
over the fact, and are willing to take
up subscriptions to protect their chill

FISK MAKES AP-
PEAL FOR AID
IN DANGER OF LOSING VAST sum Of
FERED ON CONDITION.

A battle for higher education of
Negro youth. Colored people called
to help.
Fisk University, the most noted Ne
gro institution for higher education
is facing a serious crisis in its at
tempt to raise an endowment fund
The institution was offered $4,000
more than two years ago by the Cen
eral Education Board, on condition
that it raise $24O,OOO in addition. for
liquidation of accumulated indebted
ness of about $4,000, for repairing
and reftting buildings. for the install
lation of heating and lighting plant
and for endowment An amount of
$4,000 was to be raised, two-thirds
of which was to go for endowment
The institution has run all these years
almost entirely through the support
from year to year, Of white friends
in the North.
About two hundred of these white
friends have contributed toward the
present endowment effort, but the
total amount given leaves S104,e00
yet to be raised. The time limit of
the initial offer of the General Edu-
cation Board expires June 1st and
the University authorities have no as
surance that this time will be ex-
tended.
The alumni are carrying on a loyal
rally to raise $4,000 as their share in
the fund, but there. will still remain
nearly 100000 which must be Sc
cured from other friends. The white
friends of the Negro have contributed
generously to this fund and now are
asking what the Colored people pro-
pose to do. The authorities of the
University are making a nationwide
appeal to the Colored people to rally
to the rescue Of this institution which
for forty-seven years has offered all
that is highest and best in education
and culture to the Negroes of the
land. They want 100000 colored
people to send them at least 81 be-
tween now and June 1st. Checks
and money orders should be made
payable to Fisk University and may
be sent to the editorial Office of this
paper or directly to Fisk University
at Nashville, Tenn. All contributions
sent to the office of this paper will
be acknowledged in its columns.
Shall we rally to the call of an in
stitution which from its foundation
has aimed to set the feet of young
Negroes in the path to all the learn
ing and cultures which the best insti-
tutions of the land afford?

Dr. Hubbard, in presenting the class
