POLICEMAN GIvENs DIES.
First Man Of Our Race to Serve on
Force In Brooklyn.

First Man Of Our Race to Serve on
Force In Brooklyn.
In the death of Christopher Givens
at Brooklyn the latter part Of August
the race loses one of its most sub
stant1al members and Brooklyn one of
its best known and most highly re-
spected citizens. The late Mr.. Givens
was appointed on the police force in
November, 1870 and served until July
z, 1908. He was the first colored man
to serve as regular policeman In
Brooklyn and by his fine record con-
tributed much toward paving the way
for other men of the race to enter the
service in later years. Officer Givens
offered to enlist as soldier at the
outbreak Of the civil war, but was
under age and therefore served as
bodyguard to one Major West. At the
close Of the civil war Mr.. Givens came
to Brooklyn, where he soon rose to
prominence in many lines Of activity.
Owing to race hatred and prejudice,
It Is said that he had stiff fight to
hold his job on the force, but being
OF fearless and determined disposi-
tion, he fought his way up to perma-
nence and responsibility on the force.
He is survived by four sons-John, Ed
ward, Charles A. and Herald f. Civ
ens-and six daughters-Mrs. J. D.
Minor, Mrs. r. Smith. Mrs. G. Meyers,
Mrs M. Willis, Mrs. e. Williams and
Mrs. A. Strickland. He also leaves ten
grandchildren.

Is fully attested by his connection
with varied movements among both
races. He has served as member of
the board Of the New Jersey state
Baptist convention, and the leaders OF
this body often seek his advice regard.
Ing efforts for the furtherance Of home
missions. DR.. Morris is also a strong
influence In the great work of the New
England Baptist convention.
The ambitious young Afro-American
who Is striving along the right lines to
become a wholesome influence in every
phase Of righteous activities finds a
stanch supporter in DR.. Morris and his
most amiable and cultured wife. Mrs.
Morris is native Of Richmond. Va.
and Is the daughter Of Rev. George q.
johnson. Industrial and business pur-
suits are among the vocations which
DR.. and Mrs. Morris are strongly ad-
vocating for our young people.

own life went out in blood at the hands
Of Q. cowardly assassin, and the deep
damnation of his taking of set the

John Brown Of Osawattomie, tho eyes
Of his understanding were full orbed.
He suffered martyrdom for the cause
OF freedom and died as only martyrs
can die in the cause Of liberty and
righteousness. The time will come
when the names of John Brown and
Nat Turner will be among the most L.

ten years he has served as vice presi-
dent of the national Baptist conven-
ton from this state.
DR.. Morris was born In Richmond,
Va. During his early years he had to
assist in supporting his widowed moth
er. After attending night school for
two years and becoming converted and
desiring to prepare himself for eff
cient work for humanity in general he
entered the Richmond Institute and
Theological seminary NOW the Vir-
ginia Union university and continued
at this well known institution until his
graduation for the Christian ministry.
He had the reputation of being one of
the best Hebrew and Greek students
attending the university and won
many honors. He was licensed to
preach In 1888 and afterward accept
ed a call from the Calvary Baptist
church. MorristOwn, N. j. His success
In MorristOwn gave him great infu-
ence among the people.
It Is conceded that he is among
the ablest pulpiteers and pastors of his
denomination. Some years ago he
wrote a sermon for the National Bap-
tist Magazine on the subject "God-
Man." which was declared by theo-
logians to be one Of the most scholarly
sermons produced by any minister of
the denomination known at the time.
Through the indefatigable efforts of
this modest and genial leader. who
has every qualification Of leader by
sticking to his followers, New Jersey
has taken first place, according to num-
bers, in the denomination with which
he is 30 eminently connected. His an
nual addresses before his state con-
yention are pronounced potent factors
In shaping the activities of the Baptist
churches Of the state and from liter
ary viewpoint have been termed
