He has put up-to-date methods into

Among the anthems sung by the choir,
which were also favorites Of the noted

General HOratiO G. King, clerk Of
Plymouth church for many years,
made the address of welcome In q
brief but thrilling story Of some Of the
historical facts connected with the
church which occurred during Mr..
Beecher's pastorate Of forty years.
General Kings reference to "Pinkie,"
the little slave girl whose freedom
was bought by Plymouth church, was
both interesting and pathetic. He said
that the night on which "Pinkie" was
sold Mr.. Beecher had the baskets pass
ed to raise the $500 to meet the re-
Quirements OF the bill of sale, the
church raised $500, paid the slave
owner, gave "Pinkie' her freedom and
the rest Of the money to "Pinkie's"
mother.
The speakers of the evening were
Mrs. A. W. HuntOn OF this city and
Professor Kelly Miller, dean Of the
college Of arts and sciences. Howard
university. Mrs Hunton reviewed the
work Of Beecher as a preacher. anti
slavery agitatOr and leader Of thought
In his day. She quoted many passages
from his speeches against slavery and
noted his deeds Of kindness as a Chris
tan warrior. The speaker paid q
glowing tribute not only TO Mr.. Beech
er. but to the members Of Plymouth
church and other heroes Of human
rights who fought that the colored
race might have It's freedom as God
intended It should have.
Mrs. HuntOn was loud In praise OF
the women Of the race, who, she said,
had stood Loyalty by the men. giving
them encouragement and hope through
the fifty years Of freedom which the
race Is now celebrating. The progress
which the colored people have made
under the most cruel and unfair treat
ment ever melted out to a people In q
civilized country called Christian. said
Mrs. Hunton. fully Justifes all that
Mr.. Beecher and men and women OF
bis stamp did for Us.
Professor Kelly Miller In bis address
made the application Of the teachings
OF Mr.. Beecher to the present condi-
ton Of the race In a mastery ana
scholarly production Of facts Hs
based his discourse on the life OF
Moses in dealing with the children Of
Israel and what would have happened
had Moses yielded to the selfish notions
Of the leaders at the kings court In
stead Of casting the positive side Of bis
life with his own people
Professor Miller emphasized the need
o. the right kind Of education and the
duty Of the educated to the rank and
Ole OF the race. This thought the
speaker illustrated By calling attention
TO the positive and negative signs IN
algebra. Mr.. Miller Is positive In his
belief that were Mr.. Beecher alive the
great humanitarian would tight against
race segregation In all Of its phases
lust q valiantIy as he did against the
il11sties of human slavery.
