The Emancipation Celebration at OH
vet Baptist Church New Years day
given by the Standard Literary Society
surpassed all such celebrations held IL
this city for many years in point Of
variety, uniqueness and exeellency Of
program. The folk lore songs, rendered
by the Polyphonie Choral Union, were
appropriate. The recital Of the Eman
cipation Proclamation by Miss s. NJ
Fisher was unique. The addresses OF
Judge John c. stelk and the Hon. B. F,
Riley, publieists, were replete with phi
losophy, craftsmanship and American.
ism.
1t is a rare privilege to listen to q
Judge Of Judge Sticks unusual intel
lectual attainment. In his remarks he
pointed out many valuable lessons to
the mother and daughter learned
through his experience in the Court OF
Domestic Relations. He especially EN-
ohasized the necessity for home train
ing of the girl, that she may be pre-
pared to take care Of her own home and
thereby avoid much domestic discord
brought about by ignorance and ex-
travagance.
The Hon. B. f. Riley, of Birmingham,
Ala, delivered the principal address of
the afternoon. After very compliment
tary introduction by Rev. L. Z. Will
liams, pastor of olivet Baptist Church,
DR.. Riley spoke at length on the sub
jeet "Boon of Liberty" The points
emphasized by DR.. Riley, if done by
Northern or Eastern Emancipationist,
would have been remarkable in point
Of liberality, but coming from q de-
scendant of an ex-slaveholder, born and
reared in the middle Of the South, makes
his utterances more surprising, yet in
dicatiye of the present state Of the
better thought, both North and South.
DR.. Riley emphasized the thought that
God made man morally and religiously
equal and that freedom begets RESPONSE
bility; that where there is no liberty
there is no responsibility; that il is to
the mutual interest of the American
people that the Colored American should
share equally in responsibility, and to
share in responsibility he must have
equal liberty. He reeited many in
stances and experiences in his effort to
bring about a better understanding be-
tween the races in the South. He told
IF how when he first began the advo-
:acy Of the Cslored mans cause and
he condemnation oflynching and other
wrong treatment Of the Colored man in |
he South many Of the white people |
threatened him, but that since he had |
for the last ten years in say
ng and doing the things which he be-
ieved to be right, committee of one
hundred leading white people of the
south had met in convention and
pledged themselves to secure the cleo
ion to Office Of such men as would i'm
enforce the law.
On the question of social equality
Dr.. Riley takes q common sense view.
lie stated that social equality is ques-
ion Of personal preference. He stated
hat many of the COlored people select
heir associates, and he aecords the same
'rivilege to both white and Colored.
he old question Of the "Negro's
lace" in the South is answered by
Dr.. Riley by stating that his place is
wherever he can be of the greatest
