DIR. GILLIEs VISITS SOUTH.
Noted Pastor of Hennepin Ave. M. e
Church Visits Many Negro
Schools. breaches at New
Orleans.

DR.. Andrew Gillies has returned af-
ter a visit tothe Southland. His sub
ject last Sunday was "The Future of
the Black Man" He is pleased with
the progress of the race in the South
and says "that they are doing great
work at Tuskegee, and the various
schools" The Southwestern Chris
tian Advocate says:
"Dr. Andrew Gillies, pastor of Hen
nepin Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota,
spent a few days last week in New
Orleans, much to the delight of his
new acquaintances as we'll as to
friends who knew him before. Doctor
Gillies says he was on a trip seeking
rest, but this is how he put in his
time: On Sunday morning, he
preached in our st. Charles Avenue
Church; on Sunday afternoon he ad-
dressed the Y. NJ. c. A. and later at
tended the cornerstone laying of the
Church of the Redeemer, the new
Italian Church on Esplanade avenue;
at night he preached at Wesley
Church, the Rev. J. L. Wilson, pas
tor; Monday night he lectured before
the Y. NJ. c. A.; Tuesday noon, he
preached at New Orleans University
and Tuesday night iectured in our St.
Charles Avenue Church. The Doctor
made great impression. He is a
clear thinker, an eloquent, simple and
powerful orator. The Times-Demo-
crat gave generous space to DR.. Gil
lies utterances and concerning his
lecture at the Y. M. c. A. said: "Dr.
Gillies' Interpretation of the human
nature and the meaning of the dis
covery Of the divine spark in every
man, fascinated and impressed even
the most careless auditor. His style
of delivery possesses great human ap-
peal, virile force of logic and elo-
quence, combined with the magnetism
of unusual dramatic powers"
The following is fro mthe Tuske-
gee Student:
"Dr. Andrew Gillies, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Mime
apolis, Minnesota, visited the school
on Thursday, February 10th, remain
ing until the following morning. He
was taken into the several depart
ments of the school. On Thursday
evening at the regular prayer service.
he spoke most beautifully and help
fully to the student and teaching
body. His remarks were thoroughly
enjoyed by all who had the pleasure
of hearing him"
DR.. Gillies is one of the staunch
friends of the Negro and we are proud
to know that he counts among his
friends many of the leading men of
our race, both at home and abroad.
He rightfully deserves that, respect
which he has gained because he is out
spoken and active against race pre-
judice and discrimination.
During his trip he visited Cannon
Theological College, and Clark Univ.
Atlanta, Ga, Morristown Normal and
Industrial College, Morristown, Tenn.
and Meridian Academy, Meridian,

race with which her husband was
identified. This tells how that mort
gage happened to be placed on the old
home Of the great leader. ....
BY act Of congress a board of trus-
tees was created to have charge Of the
home, but it came to these congress
sionally provided administrators with
q mortgage and without funds to even
keep up repairs, the result being that
tho once handsome home, the once fine
old estate, Is rapidly passing to decay
and the mortgage Is pressing for pay
mont.
Several attempts have been made to
arouse sufficient interest on the part Of
the race to pay of this mortgage and
put the home in proper repair In order
frst to save the home to the race and
to preserve the historical relics, ETC., II
contains, but not sufficient has been
contributed to even keep up the inter
est on the debt.
It Is figured that If $4,000 is raised
by the race it will be sufficient to pay
OF the mortgage and restore the build
Ing and estate to its former beauty
and make Of the home q historical
and memorial site to be visited by
thousands each year, just as the old
home Of George Washington at Mount
Vernon is maintained as a historical
retreat.
There are fifteen acres In the Doug
lass estate, and It occupies the most
beautiful point In all Washington, over
looking the Potomac, as It does, and
being within ten minutes ride Of the
White House or the halls Of congress.
But unless the race responds to the
last appeal, and responds quickly, the
old home may be lost.
BY the terms Of the will Il can be
no other than a memorial to Mr.. Doug.
lass, free to the public, and conse-
quently has no earning power. When
It ceases to be that-in case the mort.
gage should be foreclosed-the old
Douglass homestead will pass from the
race. As the legal owners Of this
estate It is the duty Of the race-every
man, woman, child, church or organiza-
tion, fraternal or otherwise-to respond
with contributions to pay or this debt
and this response should come quickly
