Our Life Purpose.

The formation of purposes in life is
a serious thing. We ought to form
purposes now that will satisfy us
throughout all eternity. Purposes
that reach no farther than the little
span of our own life are insignificant
and dwarf the soul. But purposes
that extend beyond the fleeing period
appointed to us in this life and that
open out into a glorious unending ex-
istence will enable and entrance the

WILBERFORcE HEADS LIST.
Some Facts About the Origin Of Q
Noted School In Ohio.

Some Facts About the Origin Of q
Noted School In Ohio.
One Of the leading magazines OF the
country, printed In Boston, speaking
Of Wilberforce university says: "The
auditor of the state Of Ohio announces
that q monthly article will be issued
describing the activities Of the vari-
GUS departments and institutions Of
Ohio. The one for July IL devoted to
Wilberforce university and deals with
the progress that has been made in
Ohio in the education Of the colored
race.
The first move to furnish q sem.
mary Of learning for the colored race
in Ohio originated with Daniel A.
Payne, a self educated Negro Of
Charleston, 9. @. As result Of his
efforts Union seminary, near Colnm-
bus, was organized In 1874. That
Payne was one Of the great benefac-
tors Of his race and had rare foresight
II shown by the fact that the school
was started on the manual training
plan.
"Union seminary by reason Of loca.
ton and other circumstances made
slow growth, but 1t was the pioneer
and contributed largely to the found
ing Of Wilberforce university and was
finally, in 1853, consolidated with the
latter institution. While there are nu.
merous small colleges, there are only
about a half dozen great universities
in America for the higher education
Of the Negro race-Atlanta university;
Fisk, at Nashville; Howard. at Wash
ington; Shaw, at Raleigh; Leland. at
New Orleans, and Wherefore, at
Xenia-and Wilberforce stands at the
head OF the list"

the league during the six years Of its
existence and urged upon the delegates
the importance of putting forth great
er efforts in the future. There is great
er need for unity Of action among the
Negroes today than ever before in the
history Of the race since the war, said
Mr.. Bray. Hostile forces are pressing
Us backward. We must check this, and
there is only one way to do 1t, and that
Ia through organization.
Every loyal colored man in the coun.
ty should be an active member Of the
Westchester, Negro league, he contin-
ued. It is indeed very encouraging to
note that we have enlisted in our cause
before the country such eminent and
influential persons as Hon. Oswald Gar
rison Willard, publisher Of the New
York Evening Post; Hon. Thomas Ew-
Ing, Jr., who is the present United
States commissioner of patents; Mrs.
La Toilette, wife of the Wisconsin SEN
ator; Senator Moses Clapp Of Minneso-
Ia and Senator Wesley. l. Jones Of
Washington. -..
Among the many important matters
that commanded the attention Of the
convention was a plan for the organ
ization Of a woman's auxiliary to the
league, which was proposed and ex.
planned by Mr.. Harvey Of Mount Yer
non. The members took up the plan
with enthusiasm and unanimously
adopted 1t.
Mr.. Stephen A. Bennett Of Y0nkers
offered q resolution which cited the
alarming and acute conditions con-
fronting the Negro In the country. It
emphasized the need for a united ef-
fort on the part Of every Negro In
Westchester county. The work being
done by the National Association For
the Advancement Of Colored People
was specially commended.
The officers are: Paul 81. Bray, Yon-
kers, president; A. B. Young, Ossi-

The Speakers.

bUO oPO0N0TSs
DR.. Jacques Loeb of the Rockefeller
Institute for Medical Research, New
York, first startled his audience when
he said the facts of biology and
eugenics pointed to the advisability Of
inter-marriage of black, white and vel
low races.
Hutchins Hapgood Of New York pro-
posed the Negro labor organization,
and Professor Nathaniel Schmidt of
Cornell University said the Jews
should amalgamate.
The Rev. Kakichi Hummelshine,, a
Toxic pastor. called it unchristian to
exclude the Japanese. DR.. A. Caswell
Ellis of the University of Texas said
the social recognition of the Negro
would mean a mulatto race.
Said DR.. Loeb: Biology has moth.
ing to support the superstition that a
pure white or pure black race is su,
perior to q mulatto. On the con.
trary, Luther Burbank's success lies
in finding breeds that possess superior
powers Of resistance to climatic and
other hardships. Various other scien-
lists, biologists and eugenicists have
found that the offspring Of mixed
races are the harder offspring.
while in some cases a mixed pro-
geny is worse, in others it is better
than a pure breed, and that scientific
fact Is enough to show the absurdity
Of the belief in the South that the in
termarriage of the white and black
races should be considered felony.
America is itself the result Of a
mixture of races"
Hutchins Hapgood said: II wish the
Negro could start in the South a dis
trust of our civilization and our NOR
atty.
HE ought to have a big organiza.
ton Of unskilled labor comparable to
the I. w. w. But Negro should be
the one to start the movement.
What would not the race do when
It controlled the labor market of the
South? It could force respect which
no amount of Christianity can give the
Negro"
Mrs. Hummelshine, said, ANY peace
ful solution Of the Japanese question
In California merely from the legal or
political standpoint is impossible. It
is time for the Christians to fight for
the principle Of humanity and save the
relations between the two nations. We
fail to see why the japanese can't
be amalgamated when he has adopted
the western civilization so wonderful
II. The japanese today is more close
" related to Europe than to China in
his individualism. a. ..
