Church. During his stay at Straight
University between forty and fifty
took the divinity course, many finish
ing with high honors. It "-was from
Straight University that Dr. Hender
son came to take charge of the Theo
logical Department at Fisk, to bring
6uch glorious results as were evi
denced at the exercises last Sunday.
It appears that his personality and
high scholarship have attracted men
from the medical profession, the city
schools and other walks of life into the
gospel ministry. Every one in the
vast audience was pleased with the
exercises and heartily congratulated
the graduates, Dean Wright, of the
University, and Dean Henderson, of
the Theological Department.

DECORATION ADDRESS.
(Continued from Page 1.)
the degradation of the black man, the
black veteran has thus grown In in
difference so that he does not come to
honor the memory of his comrades who
have answered the last roll call and
he fails to impress this duty of rev
erence upon his children, the rising
generation. This occasion ought to
be impressed upon our young as a hal
lowed day. The old comrades are fast
passing to the soldiers' home above,
and what will become of this and
emancipation day if we do not im
press their sacredness upon the pres
ent and future generations of our.
young people? We should teach our
children at our knee the lesson of
the sacrifice these sleeping dead made
that they might enjoy this glorious
day of liberty and enlightment.
There are many of our people who
would have you forget the past with
all its horrors and oppression and de
basement, but like the Jews we
should rever it, for only those who
have suffered and wept can appreci
ate the blessings of peace and com
fort. I have recently published a book
"Out of the Darkness" for the pur
pose of instructing our young people
in some of the things the race has
had done to them; what they have en
dured and muft endure ere they shall
be free indeed and be men, and citi
zens. From it they will learn of the
travail, pain and long-suffering
through which they were born to
freedom. Many things told therein
are known to the older people, both
colored and white, but the young of
either race know nothing of the
price paid for what liberty we enjoy.
We must teach, write and speak of
these things that they may be in
stilled, into the hearts and minds of
the generations coming after.
I know there are those who would
have you believe that all is sunshine
and that our path is lined with flow
ers, that there are no dark and low
ering clouds and that there are no
thorns amid the flowers, that every
day is Sunday and that the obstacles
we meet are only 'myths of the imagi
nation. But in spite of these dreams
we must know the dark as well as the
bright side of our life.
"We know in what a forge and what
a heat was shaped the anchor of our
hope."
We should not be deceived by false
lights in our dark night, to believe
that all is well and that we have
reached a quiet haven, a sure retreat;
for there are hidden rocks and quick
sands along the shore.
May no torn, toms, drum beat or
bugle blast be able to drown the still
voice of warning that conies to us
from out the storm, for all is not well.
Lord be with us yet lest we for
get, lest we forget.
A GRAND SUCCESS.
The first social of the Undenom-
national Bible Readers' Association
was quite" a success, which came off
recently at the residence of Rev. S.
Frister, 1903 Heffernan street. The
President, Rev. S. Frister, opened
the exercises by an introduction . of
the society and Scripture reading.
Rev. M. B. Ridley offered prayer. We
had present with us Rev. M. B. Rid
ley, Mrs. Cotton, Miss Alberta De-
Moss, Mr. Ed Whitaker, Miss Eva
DeMoss, Mrs. Delia Gteen, Mrs. Anna
Dismuke, Mrs. Mary Broom, Mrs.
Rev. E. C. Jones, Mrs. itev. M. B. Rid
ley, Miss Pearly M. Jones, Mrs. Rev.
S. Frister, Misses Josephine and Eliza
beth Frister, Theodore and Benjamin
Frister. The President took pains to
show the purpose of the institution.
That it is not property of any de
nomination, but offers its service to
all. That it is not a church and
would not assume authority over any
one. We are associated to read the
Bible and to help others to read it in
that connected way by which alone
its harmony, beauty and worth may
be learned and enjoyed. Rev. E. C.
Jones, who holds the office of "prin
cipal reader," introduced his chart
work. AH vacant time was filled by
select music by Mr. Edi Whitaker and
Miss Alberta DeMoss. Refresb-
and Mrs. Broome.

MRS. EMMA MUIRHEAD.
Monday morning, May 24, at 3:30
o'clock Mrs. Emma Muirhead died at
her home, 29 North Hill street, after
a brief illness of a few days. Her
death was quite a snock to the en
tire community, even though she had
no hope of recovering, and expressed
herself willing and ready to go.
As a wife she was kind, loving and
faithful to the end, a mother who
loved her children and was kind and
affectionate to her children and all
around her. Mrs. Muirhead was loved
by all who knew her. As a neighbor
she was an exception1, quiet and agreea
ble. She will be missed and her
place hard to fill. She was 41 years
and 10 months old, was mother of
15 children,' seven of whom survive
her, besides a mother, two sisters
and one brother. Her remains were
carried to her old home at Lebanon,
Tenn. Funeral attended by Rev. T.
W. Johnson, pastor of Clark Memo
rial, assisted by Revs. Manson and
Phillips. Undertaker Johnson accom
panied the remains to the last rest
ing place.
A loving one from us has gone;
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.

ates of iMc-harry. The papers have
been returned showing that seventeen
of the whites passed and eighteen
failed, two of the colored passed and
one failed. The two successful ones
are J. C. Overton, of the class of 1909,
and T. B. Coleman, of the class of
1908. No doubt the students of Me
harry will rejoice to know that mem
bers of the various classes are suc
