CITT B
Meeting in of the Freed- ;
nrW A large congregation assembled at
St. Lake’s F. E. (Jburch, laat eveuing, to
participate in the exercises of the Penusyl
vania Branch of the Protestant Episcopal
Freedmen’s Commission. Evening Prayer
•was read by Rev. R. Heber Newton and
Eev. B. B. Smith. Rev. Dr. Howe, Rector
of St. Luke’s, presided. At the conclusion
of prayers, Dr. Howe stated the purposes of
the Society, organized in that church a year ;
ago to send among the freedmen of the
South teachers who, while imparting seou
lar education, should lead them to the true
knowledge of God. This the Protestant
Episcopal Church proposes to do, and called
upon its congregations and all sympathizing
Christians for their contributions and their
prayers. He wished it distinctly understood
that it was the purpose of the Society to
treat the freedmen, not as if they were mere
Berfs to be remanded into a condition of semi
slavery, but as men who were free indeed,
and before whom there was now a wide door
and an open field, and a scope for improve
ment and elevation, only to be limited by
their own capacity lor mental and moral
development.
Rev. Dr. Newton made an address in his
most felicitous and telling style. He said
that we were to go to the Bible for all our
best illustrations of good things,and he cited
two cases.from the Old and New Testament
to illustrate the negro’s loyalty to right, and
his capacity for acquiring the truth. His
sketch of Ebed Melech, the Ethiopian who
was alone faithful and loyal to the perse
cuted servant of God, Jeremiah, was given
with great force and eloquence, and the par
allel between him and the modern slaves in
their ministry to our loyal soldiers at the
South, was capitally sustained. His second
illustration, drawn from the Ethiopian eu
nuch, of their simple, unquestioning thirst
for the truth, was equally happy. Dr. New
ton concluded with a forcible application of
the well-known story of Michael Angelo
finding “anangel” in the unhewn block
of marble, buried amid rubbish and dirt.
Rev. Dr. Watson declared his belief that
on the fulfillment of the duties of educating
and Christianizing the freedmen, depended
the present and future prosperity of our na
tion. Thus we would see a nation born, not
in a centurv, but in a day.
Major General O. O. Howard next ad
dressed the meeting. He said: I have been
deeply interested in the remarks made by
the clergymen who have preceded me, and
as I have learned the fact that as a rule the
people of this country are as far advanced
as their teachers, I hardly think there is
much need of urging this subjeot further.
I would heartily say Amen to all that
has been said, and yet I think I detect a
spirit in what has been said here this even
ing that needs to be corrected. It will not
do for us to look upon these freedmen from
too high a stand-point. We must not arro
gate to ourselves everything and regard them
as having nothing. We must not hold our
selves as the highest and them as the lowest
of all God’s creation. If it were so, it would
still be our duty, following our Lord’s ex
ample, to labor to raise them to our level.
But I have been among them so muoh that
I cannot but think that you have yet to learn
somewhat about them. Morally, perhaps,
they are not so muchdegraded as some may
think. In the. neighborhood of Beaufort, S.
C., these people were as poor and ignorant
as they are anywhere, and yet when our
forces first advanced in that direction, and
the booming of our big guns first reached
their ears, the slaves on those plantations
met: together and prayed all through the
long night for our victory. Did any of
?ou do better than that? Whenever
go before audiences of these colored
people, and explain to them the principles
and"purposes of our work among them,
there is not a single sentiment that I express,
that they do not earnestly and heartily en
dorse, We have something to learn our
selves in this matter. There is undoubtedly
superstition, ignorance, false teaching ana
the want of any literature among them, but
we have oppressed and degraded and mal
treated them. We are not, as a people, yet
folly ready to come forward and receive
them, to take them by the hand and recog
nize them as our brothers, This prejudice
must be overcome before we can hope to see
them rise. They are poor and helpless, not
because they have not worked all their lives,
but because they have had no return for
their toil. Perhaps it is better that they
should be “God’s poor,” that Christian men
and women maydearn their duty by them.
They need every thing, aid, sympathy, care;*
education, and our plain duty is to spare no
effort, to exert every energy in their
behalf. But we are asked, “why
does not the Government take
care of them?” The Government is
doing much, but its work has been very im
perfectly understood. The Freedmen’s
Bureau has been regarded as a mere insti
tution for feeding poor people. Not so. It
was established to give practical informa
tion to the freedmen of‘the fact that they
were free. Next it was designed to protect
them in their new-found liberty, and next
to afford them such relief as they need, not
merely in giving them rations, but in
teaching them bow to support themselves
and to make themselves men. Another
important work was to transport them from
points where they had accumulated, to
places where they could find employment.
In Washington alone 27,000 freedmen had
accumulated, while there was not employ
ment for 15,000. We have already trans
ported 6,000 of these to other desirable
points. Then there was the great work of
their education. Our sohools followed our
armies, and their success has been -
wonderful, far exceeding the efforts
of France or England in their emancipated
colonies. Already 150,000 children are in
our schools, and colored soldiers and other
adults are rapidly preparing in their turn
to instruct the more" ignorant of their own
race. What has already been done must be
multiplied tenfold, and this is the work
your organizations have before them.
But I am continually asked about the
feeling at the South in regard to this work.
I should be false if I were to say that the
South holds back entirely from it. There
are noble men there who have taken me.by
the hand and are ready to do all they can to
help us, and-I am glad and thankful for it.
Your own Bishop of Virginia has shown
great interest in the work, and I have had
long conversations with him concerning it.
But with regard to the general feeling at the
South, it is not that good Christian
people there do not wish to have the colored
population educated, but they say they do
not want the work done by Yankees.
They stick to the idea that they are hostile
to their interests and wish to create divi
sions between them and their former slaves.'
They imagine that our Northern teachers
will only stir up strife. This is their idea,
but the very contrary ’is the truth. The
teachers that have been sent out are, for the
most part, noble, pure, high-minded Chris
tian men and wothen. In many places
they have been received with freezing cold
ness, refused all white association, and com
pelled to confine themselves entirely to the
society of the people among whom they
have gone to labor. But they are enduring
every thing,and have stayed at their posts in
BPite of alt discouragement. You ask, “Is
this what we are to expect for our teaohers?”
I tell you that it is, and must be, so as long
as this false idea exists at the South. We
must remember thatthey have been trained
• up to believe that slavery was right, and
they have not yet got over that idea.
Hiow that we came among them with
nt idea; and they cannot yet aban
r old prejudices.
General Howard read an extract
etter from one of the teaohers, a.t
he present want, of sympathy to
be operations of the Freedmen’s
slon at the South.)
atinued: I want to look this fact
square in the face andsee it as it is. I believe
that the majority in all the Southern States
eel in this way, and the time has hot yet
come when we can safely commit this im
portant trust entirely into their haHds. The
great need-now is for normal'schools. The
colored people of tne South must have their
own teachers raised up among them, and
in no way can the regeneration of the whole
race be so speedily effected. They are ca
pable of high intellectual attainment, as
you have so well .demonstrated in your
own city. Send them all’ the good teaohers
you .can and as long as yon can continneto
do it. Send a good loyal-hearted woman
into any part of the South, a woman who
h as been earnestly loyal all through the war,
and no matter what reception she meets
with, she will stay. If she' can get no other
protection and assistance the colored people
themselves will protect and assist her.
Many of our best teachers now in thefield
have gone from the best families of the
North. Often hated and ostraoized by ail
around them, bat with hearts on fire with a
true love for the Master’s cause. The work
is a Christian work and must be done by
Christian teachers.. Send an infidel to do
such a work and how long do you think
he will stay ? . ■
I have been careful not to say anything in
favor of one organization over another. I
had hoped that all the various Commissions
might have been concentrated in one
grand organization, but this seems impos
sible. Now that the Episcopal Church has
taken hold of the work I hope mnch from it.
It is strong, wealthy and able to do a great
work. If the same liberality is now ex
tended which was displayed by its mem
bers all through the war, instead of 150,000
scholars in our schools, we shall soon have
four or five times that number. Your Com
mission- has my entire confidence. Give
freely and confidently of your means and
there will be a great impulse given to the
work.
It may be inappropriate for me as an
humble layman to say much of the Chris
tian character of this whole mission, but
my great strength in the country has been
in the sympathies and prayers of Christian
people. We dare not confine our views to
the mere material education and ad
vancement of the colored people; but we
must look beyond this life for a fall under
standing of our responsibilities. Our pre
sent life is but a preparation for a future
eternity and we are bound to work in the
Master’s cause with all the energies God
has given us. Not white men alone, bnt
red and black and men of every hue will
stand together before the bar of God, and
we must there meet face to face those who
have here been committed to our care. Let
us as a people and in view of this solemn
eternity ask ourselves soberly and with
prayer, as before God, “Are |we doing oar
whole duty towards the colored people of
this land?” ,
Bev. Bianton Smith, Secretary,stated that
the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey had lately been erected into a
special department, with Philadelphia as a
headquarter, styled the Pennsylvania
Branch of the Freedmen’s Aid Society.
Their object was to fit the freedmen to be
men, capable dT wielding the talents God
bad given them. The Society was not
fitting them for serfdom, bnt for equal man
hood.
The meeting closed with a collection in aid
of the noble undertaking.
CONCERNING POLYNESIA. — M. QuatrO
fages has juat published a book on “The Polynesians
and their Migrations.” His conclusions are these:
1 The Polynesians were not created on the spot. Nor
are they the last remains of pre-existing populations.
Voluntary migrations have brought them Into the
archipelago of Oceanica. From their type, we may
gather their origin, it is to be found in the Asiatic
archipelago. In some of these migrations they would
fall in with someiamilies of the black race, who might
have been cast away on the same island by the
chances of the sea. He considers that none oi these
migrations are of a date anterior to the first Olympiad:
and the great majority occurred about the commence
ment of our epoch.” These facts are Interesting aud
so is the fact that the best and cheapest coal in
Philadelphia is sold by W. W. Alter, 957 North Ninth
stieefc and Sixth and Spring Garden streets.
To the Ladies.— -There is a preparation
which makes the hair of a silken smoothness and in*
dines it to take and retain whatever style the wearer
may fancy, whether classic braids or shining ringlets,
presenting a marked contrast to the intractable locks
and frowzy curls worn by many hapless fair ones to
whom thin article is unknown. Db. Leon’s Elec
tric Hair Reneweb is this precious and admirable
compound. Try it. Bold by all Druggists.
Great Reduction in the Price of
Bonnets —We have the pleasure of informing our
fair readers to-day, that Messrs. Wood & Cary, No.
725 Chestnut street, have reduced the prices of their
entire stock of fashionably trirdmed Bonnets and cut
goods of all kinds. Their new French Bonnet, the
“Martha Washington,” Is greatly admired and selling
rapidly.
The Charges of Electricit? necessary
io work the Atlantic cables are so small tha*- they can
be produced in a "gun cap,” aud the charges of green
backs for sending a message are so large that it takes
a big pocket to hold the propelling material for the
latter purpose. Such a difference in different charges
is very noticeable; as much so as the difference be
tween the low charges for first-class Clothing at
Charles Stokes & Co.’a, under the Continental, and the
high charges of other houses for much Interior articles.
For good Cloth low charges, go to Charles Stokes
& Co.’s, under the Continental.
The “American Cow-Milker,” now
on exhibition at 4 (3 Chestnut street, is attracting more
attention throughout the rural districts than the cap
tore of Surratt. There is no doubt that the supplying
of these admiral labor saving instruments will very
soon become a large and profitable business. Saga
cious people are already taking the hint and acting
npon ft. • *
Mbb. Db. R. C. Andrews, of 57 West
Twenty-ninth street, New York, In her examination
before the Commissioner ef Patents says of the Gro
ver & Baker Sewing Machine: “I prefer It to aU other
machines I have known anything about, for the ease
and simplicity with which it operates ana Is managed
lor the perfect elasticity of the stitch; the ease with
which the work can be ripped. If desired; and still re
tain Its strength when the thread Is cnt, or accident
ally broken; its adaption to different kinds of (work
from fine to course, withent change of needle or
tension."
