I CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANITY. i Accordin- to the NewJ York Sun tho 01 religious condition of the Caucasian brother is as follows: "Every intelligent layman now knows that the authority of the Scripture is no longer as fully accepted as former ly. Bible reading has been discontinu ed among them to a very great extent Family prayers, once an inva1 custom in pious families, are now almost wholly abandoned. The pray er meeting preserves usually only a mere semblance of life. Sunday schools have fallen off in attendance." And the general tenor of the long article from which the foregoing is taken is that the condition of things is very commendable. Tho Sun argues that the clergy are bound by their or dination vows to teajh dogmas of the truth of which they are doubtful, or which they positively disbelieve. We i.re by no means sure that tho Sun is correct in its statement of fact, or rather we believe that, its statements are the reverse of truth. But they have some foundation when applied to those churches which are patronized by the state, and where positions in the church are dispensed by politicians. Tho clergy of such a church are of the same class as the ward bummers and heeler^ ofpromotion the political world se- t?i in the samand way But we still have an idea that the Bible will withstand the open and se cret attacks upon its authenticity. The Constitution of the United States is ly no means so well fortified as. the Bible and several of its provisions have been completely nullified, but cure t.x there is reason toTelieVe'^that the J' balance of it will hold out at least to the end of the 20th century. DIXON ON VIRTUE. Temdizon says: "You never hear of a white man as saulting a Negress. Why? Because as- cd woman knows what virtue means icfc'n women are as described, what about the moral status of the white children whom they have virtually i aised A white person can catch the small 'pox as readily from an Afro-American as from anothor white person, and im morality can as readily be communi cated.

Under this regime of King Leopold whole districts have already been depopulated. It is estimated that in the past fifteen years the system has destroyed as many as 10,000.000 or 12,000,000 of people. The United States government is more responsible for South.

This, says Wil liam V. Carmichal. a Shanghai mer chant, just arrived here, is the cry that has been taken- up in China and spread like wildfire from province to.province, kindling everywhere the slumbering hatred of the Mongolian against ail foreigners. The spirit of revolt is rifa in the land, young China is rising, and in his opinion trouble is bound to come. Before the United States concludes to adopt Mr. Carmichael's policy as to meeting this feeling by armed force, ii: would be well to take into considera tion Russia's experience with Japan. iJusslfTn ^J.^ ce rTt 111 a i hi-t^nSK J?rn7 1 disgracednot he alone, but his fam ily also. "In a Shanghai street, if I try to get i Chinaman to carry me in his rick shaw, the conversation runs like this: 'How'much do you charge to carry me to the edge of the American conces- sion?' 'You 'Melican?' I Yes.' I 'No cally 'Melican.' i The Chinaman knows that.the Unit I od States discriminates against him on account of his color and refuses him. the courtesies which it extends to the anarchist and lazarbne of Southern Europe.

Hie manor seriously, we cannot SLO whr ii is any worse to have a preju dic against a red top-knot than it is I to have the same against a black skin, The one is just as reasonable as the other, and the red-haired sisters who entertain such prejudices have no just cause of complaint. Bishop Turner is a well-meaning but very imprudent man. He recently de clared the American flag to be "a dirtv and contemptible rag." Just what good' purpose the bishop'supposed would be carried out by such an utterance is im possible to conjecture, while it is easy to see that it would excite prejudice against the people with whom he is identified. That racial prejudice is al i ready strong enough, without any in crease and for the sake of his people, Tr o. p. ,,_,, Lncle, Sam i.s a very.braveea mgs o- tn Gree and Lati authors,i he r, would know that Voodooism was preva-'^'/ Vu1t hon-ible stories of how Dupree was found with her throat cut some of the people of the "superior I at the home of a well known citizen race" of Springfield.

Great Annual Meetings at Tuskegee Ala.<p>SSfSt^JSTwSiSK.T^'S-i.23:AfroInstituteylFebruar.Industriadan,lNormaTuskegee Fifteenth Annual Session of the Ttis Afro-American Conference. Teachers from nearly all the duca tional institutions for Airo-American youth, with many white and Afro visitors from the North were also in attendance. Thirty spates and the District of Columbia were repre sented in the total attendance. Booker T. Washington, who presid ed, in opening the session, said: "As we come together from year to year in these Annual Tuskegee Afro American Conferences, I am.impress ed more and more with the importance of our clinging steadfastly to the tun- 4 a con individt, cke throe fr ^e rt *r ha ?is hl may confront us, there area few sim ple, primary principles that have be?n at the bottom ot all individual and ra cial success which we must, not dis regard. Success in the fundamental things of life, however long we may be in achieving it, will win our victor ies. Failure in laying the foundatio*v properly will result in our defeat,, how ever alluring may be temporary and superficial attractions. The element in connection with these meetings and the influences that have grown out of them that have given me more encour agement than any other thing is the fact that everywhere our race is heed ing the-lessons which these conferences have tried from year to year to em phasize." The Declarations adopted were as follows: 1 The- increase in the number of land owners over those of fourteen years ago when the Conference first started, is most 'encouraging, but it may be truthfully said that we are still largely renters- instead of owners of lamdl 2. The purpose trc owm land wa stronger than* now.. This spirit we would encourage in every possible way. Teachers and preachers should make it"a part of their regular work to show the absolute necessity, on the part of every family, to own land in order to permanently make progress. 3. We urge that the various forms ,of' industry connected with the mak ing of a living be introduced' into' all the school'Si beginning with the pri mary. We would' especially urge the teaching of agriculture and the use of such tools as are necessary to dc? tihe ordinary work of the farm, the doing of such building as is needed and the re pair of ordinarywould! farm implements. 41 Again1, we urge our people Hor raise their food supplies at home as the most effective means to- avoid evils of the mortgage system. 5. We also recommend that the peo ple' give less support to dispensaries and saloons and that they encourage temperance in every form. 6. We regret, the- poor schools that are still so common, especially in the country and in the small towns.. In many places terms are short, salaries small, teachers poorly prepared and school houses unworthy of the name. We earnestly urge the union of all-road forces to better this condition. Espe cially should' the poll': tax-- be: paid.. 7. There are many discouragements we are confident that these are tho best days in our history this far. Signs of progress are on every hand. Better houses, schools, and churches are being built, more land 'is being bought, better farming done, more are going into business, and the profes sions aro gaining^ strength and nunv bers. When these Conferences were started, the Birmingham Penny Sav ings Bank was the only one prominent ly mentioned. Now there are about 20 banks managed by our people.'. The people are awakening to their moral, religious and physical condi tion. Character is being appreciated and the death-rate is being reduced. 8. We urge- that more and more energy be put into the Annual Tuske-. gee Afro-American Conferences, the great school of the masses, and that we go home from these annual gather ings to organize in every community, a local conference that shall serve to keep alive, and constantly emphasize the great doctrine of home getting and character building, the founda upon which the Annual. Confer ence is built.. The Workers' Conference was. held, on Thursday. February 22.. This meet ing was participated in by Presidents of the leading, educational institutions for the training of Afro-American youth, and by many others prominent in the effort to elevate the- Afro-Amer- ican. The subjects for discussion hinged about the following: 1.Is there a local, conference.- iiui your community?.If so, what has'it ,doneto help the school. II.:What propontion of the public school's support is contributed by vol untary, local taxation?What are the tendencies? III.What are the conditions of the country school houses?Who owns them?What are the tendencies?. IV.What wages are paid the rwal school teachers?Is there a tendency to raise or lower wages?Are teachers improving in quality? V.What influonce does the school exert v.ptm its immediate surround ings?What are the tendencies? VI.How may the teacher stimulate t&e eeisHaBawmtx to temperance,, econ omy, and ownership of property?
