which met recently at New Orleans.
said the white ministers of the south
had failed to do their duty toward the
Negro, because they could, II they
would, In the name Of God, stop the
unlawful shedding of Negro blood by
lawless mobs, and he urged the minis
ters Of the conference to appeal to
them.
1--WE have been appealing to the bet
ter class Of white people for long
time," he said, "and now we must
appeal to the ministers who rep
resent Jesus Christ. We go to them
in the spirit of Christ. The white peo-
ple make the law, construe the law
and execute the law, and they should
be able to protect the men they arrest,
Give them trials and II guilty punish
them by law.
1--WE do not condone crime. We want
Negro criminals punished and would
not conceal them. We ask only for
protection. We want the world to
know that we stand for law and order.
We are willing to render our best serv-
Ice to the south and in return want the
south to protect u.s."

OPINION AND EXPERIENCES
OF HON. EDWARD EVERETT
Noted American Fought Slavery and
Other Forms Of Injustice.

In, his address before the Coloniza-
ton society at Washington, on Feb. 1S,
1853, Hon. Edward Everett said:
"When I lived in Cambridge few
years ago I used to attend, as one Of
the board of visitors, the examinations
Of a classical school In which was q
colored boy, the son Of a slave in Mis-
sissippi, I think. He appeared to be
Of pure African blood. There were at
the same time two youths from Geor-
gia and one Of my own sons attending
the same school ... .>'
II must say that this poor Negro boy,
Beverly Williams, was one OF the best
scholars at the school, and In the Latin
language he was the best scholar in
bis class. There are others, l am told.
which shows still more conclusively the
aptitude Of the colored race for every
kind Of intellectual culture"
While lecturing In western New York
In the autumn Of 1S43 before the West
ern New York Anti-Slavery society, a
mob collected at the church In Aurora.
bent on giving Mr.. Everett warm
reception" It had smuggled bag Of
-four into the beifry of the church, d.
rectly over the entrance door, and
plans had been made to throw the
whole of it over him as he passed out
Of the church after his lecture.
In the meantime, eggs Of ancient
vintage were thrown about recklessly
during the lecture, and he was driven
from the pulpit. On his way out he
stopped in the body Of the church to
discuss single point with one OF the
respectable rowdies. The audience be-
came silent and he went on and spoke
for over an hour. At the conclusion
the lights were put out and prepara-
tons were made to flour him.
As the crowd surged toward the door,
carrying him along with 1t, one Of the
mob whispered to him: "They are 60
ing to throw a bag of -four on you.
When you hear any one say, Let 1t
slider you look out" Then he deter
mined to have little fun with. these
frisky gentlemen" SO when some of
the best dressed and most respectable
looking Of their own company or those
who had no sympathy with his mis-
sion filed up the doorway, he cried out
| In q disguised voice, LET It slider
And down came the contents Of the
bag, to the delight of his friend and
the CONSERVATION of the mob. A quar-,
rel ensued, and while they were set
Ting It among themselves he and his
friend quietly left the church "un.
Toured and unharmed."

Nfe's work. he entered Lincoln univer-
sity.
Il was while In the preparatory de-
partment Of Lincoln that the ability OF
young Downing was manifested. For
four years he stood at the head Of his
class, and his general average was so
high during the four years that he was
given q scholarship In the college de-
partment He made good In his work
and In 1880 graduated from the college
department with honors. He felt that
he was called to the work Of the gospel
ministry and at the same time felt
call to prepare for that work and en-
tered the Theological seminary, deter,
mined to make ample preparation for
us calling. He graduated from the
theological department Of Lincoln In
1B04.
While he was q student In the theo-
logical department he taught Latin for
two years In the preparatory depart.
ment of the same institution. He was
considered a good Instructor and was
offered a permanent place in the
schoolroom, but preferred to follow bis
calling. He received from Lincoln the
degree Of bachelor Of arts, bachelor Of
sacred theology, and in 1903 the insti-
tuition conferred on him the degree OF
doctor of divinity.
DR.. Bowling was not without class
honors, for In 1887 he won the s0phO-
more gold medal for the delivery OF an
original grafton. Finishing his school
work, he found his way to Roanoke,

member Of his race In that body;
hence when 1t comes to the affairs Of
