Negro Delivers Lecture.

First Baptist Church on the sub
ject: The Four Fold Mission
Of the American Negro
Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, d. d.,
of Memphis, who lectured at the
colored Baptist church last
night is one of the best known
men of his race in this country.
He delivered an address before
the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton (white) last year, and
when he was through the con-
vention voted $4,000 for the E.
rection and establishment Of a
central theological seminary for
the training of negro Baptist
ministers.
A large audience was out last
night to hear DR.. Griggs. He
said, in part:
ANY people who feel that
they are living under a Divine
Curse, are liable to become des-
pondent, and thus go wrong. The
negro has been taught that he
is cursed of God, and many la
boring under that thought, go
through life with no amino
purpose. But, my mission is to
tell you, that instead of being
cursed the negro is blessed with
the greatest mission Of any
other man in America.
America is the greatest gov
eminent on earth. The Anglo
Saxon race has made all the
progress that makes him great
by wading through pools of
blood; therefore he is cold and
cherries.
One mission of the negro is to
sing songs of cheer, and keep a
spirit of humor in the heart of
the American white man. You
may pile upon the negro slavery
you may lynch him; disfranchise
him, and pack him like sardines
into Jim Grow cars, yet, he
will laugh, sing, joke and be
happy and make everybody hap
py who comes in touch with
him.
1t is the jokes and folklore of
the negro that keep the Ameri-
can white people happy. When
they want to laugh and drown
their sorrows, they go to the
negro minstrel, or white men
blacken their faces and initiate
the negro. -
| When senators, congressman
and platform orators-even
ministers-want to break the
monotony and put good humor
into their audiences, they tell
some negro joke. The books
written by Joel Chandler Har-
ris, Bill Nye and Mark Twain
are read the world over. These
men got their inspiration on the
levies, and on the plantations,
where large numbers of South
ern negroes lived and worked,
The second mission of the ne
gro, is to remove from the heart
of the white man the contempt
he has for the darker races of
the world.
The darker races outnumber
the white races-Japan, China,
India and Africa. When one man
feels that another has contempt
for him, the man against whom
the contempt is aimed, will plan
to get even.
Some day, when Japan, China,
India and Africa are fully armed
with modern civilization, unless
some power intervenes, there
will be fought the bloodiest war
ever known-and it will be the
darker races VS.. the white races.
Then it will be that America
will become the peacemaker of

All she could tell of him was that

He was barefoot. as denoted by his

Mr.. Stokes thinks he was only a
sneak thief, proving in search of
provisions and clothes. Whether
this be so or not. there are entirely
too many of his tribe in Ocala. liv-

stealing from the whites a good
cleaning out is in order, and if a
few good, clOse-ftting hickory shirts
are put on during the ceremonies
the cleaning will be all the more

and the next time he is seen If he

1t is evident that the negro must

negroes, of course, would shield him.
but most of them are just as shocked
and indignant at the crime as the
white people.
