A FIENDISH ACT-
Mr. Robert S. Lord was the vic
tim on Thursday last, of a most
criminal and fiendish trick. It
seems that some party had filled a
pipe he was in the habit of smok
ing with powder, covering the top
with a layer of tobacco and placed
the same at a place in James Jeffer
son's barber shop where he was at
work. When he lit the pipe, an ex
plosion immediately followed, burn
intf his right hand and face badly.
His eyelids were burned off and it
is feared his sight may be affected.
The miscreant guilty of this act
should be known and made to suf
fer the fullest extent of the law.
MEN OF MARK
We call our readers attention to
the advertisement of “Men of
Mark,” to be found on another page.
The book is by P*>f. W. J. Sim
mons, D. D., and gives sketches of
the lives of over 175 of the most
eminent colored men with ovei 100 1
portraits. We have examined “Men
of Mark” and have no hesitation in
saying that it is such a book as
should be found in the house of every
colored man and Woman who have
the love of race at heart. It will no
doubt meet with a heavy sale.
The AemetßTcompany
The sensational drama, “Mess
mates,” was effectually rendered at
the Theatre on last Monday night,
Oct. 3rd, to a small but an apprecia
tive audience. Mr. J. F. Andrews,
in the character of Morgan, the
speculator was fine and at 11 me s
brought down the house. Mr. H.
A. Hagler, as Richard Carter, own
er of the Seabright, was well ren
ddred, and but for the trouble his
eyeglasses and mustache seemed to
give him, would have been excellent
Mr. Richard Rodgers in his person
ation of Cant. Taylor, seemed to be
at home and showed himself to be
an actor of no mean ability, and n
doubt if he had a fair chance wonk
make his mark on tiie dramatic stagt
Mr. E. 11. Leonard, in the parts o
Wolf and Crumbs, was of high orde
and in our opinion was the best pei

THE
THE COMMITTEE ARRANGING FOR THE
GREAT CELEBRATION NEXT JUNE*
Savannah, Gs„ Oct.. 6—Editor
Tribune: The committee of the
Missionary Baptist Convention of Geor
gia appointed to arrange for a place of
holding the Centennial Celebration of
the Negro Baptists of Georgia in this
city, begs most respectfully the use of
your columns to lay before the citizens
of Savannah the fact that there will be
a Centennial Celebration of the Negro
Baptists of Georgia held in this city,
commencing the first Wednesday in
June, 1888, and continuing two weeks,
preceded by the regular annual meet
ings of the Missionary Baptist Conven
tion and the State Baptist Sunday
School Convention, each of which will
remain in session a week, thus covering
a period of one month’s sojourn here.
There is. according to the latest stat,
istics, a membership of 159,690 Negro
Baptists iu this State. We do not think
that we over estimate it when we say
that not Uss than 50,000 of this num
ber will visit the city during this peri
od. Besides, we expect visitors from
all parts of this country and the world,
making in the aggregate not less than
75,000 visitors to the city during the
celebration.
As the organization of the Negro
Baptists of Georgia commenced in Sa
vannah, the committee earnestly hopes
that the citizets will give liberally of
their means, and leave nothing undone
to make this great Undertaking a grand
success, such as will reflect with pleas
ing credit upon Savannah and her citi
zens white and black.
J,As no church edifice is sufficient to
hold this vast number, we will be under
tho necessity to provide an incl.'sure
with the capacity of seating at least
10,000 persons, therefore the commit
tee will be obliged to appeal for a place
and means to erect a temporary struc
ture for this purpose. Very respect
fully,
Rev. Alexander Harris.
Chairman Committee.
Rev, U. L. Houston,
Rev. J. M. Simms,
Rev. David Waters,
Rev. E. K. Love,
Deacon J. H. Brown, Secretary.
AT THE CONGREGATIONAL 1
CHURCH. ,
On Last Sunday night the congregation j
and friends of the First Congregational (
church met to welcome and listen to the In
troductory Sermon of their pastor, Rev L B I
Maxwell. Long before the hour for service i
the house was nearly filled. Whan the lime 1
for services came, every available seat was
occupied. About five minutes past eight the
choir sang the beautiful anthem “P.aise the
Lord.” The prayer of invocation was offered 1
by Rev Jackson Habersham, followed by i
another well rendered anthem. The lesson j
of the evening was taken from Corinthians.
The text was from second Corinthians, 12,
14— ‘ For I seek not youra. but you.” Bub J
Ministers Mission. The preacher showed
that Christs mission was to those who need I
ed him. That Paul sought not riches but ,
the highest welfare of the Corinthians, and ,
hence a type of every true mlni-ters mission ,
Following Christ and Paul, whom he
thought very good examples, he declared
that his mission was for the good, which <
under God, he might be able to accomplish. (
He told the members and officers of the
church very plainly what they might expect
of him and what he should expect from
them. He hope as a Christian to be able to 1
work for and with the Christian community 1
regardless of sect or creed. He. thought that :
Christians ought to rise higher in their work
for Christ, than thorn hedges and church
fences, for Christianity is spreading 05 era
bigger area than one church could well cover
and that that Christianity which could see
a man in the gutter whether he be a fallen
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian or what
not struggling to rise without helping hun
needs another Christ to die for it. That his
mission here was not to h'dd up mm and
stuff them like sausage skips with Congre
gationalism. He is not in the sausage
business, but he is here to help men to be
come Christians, to hold up the cross of
Christ, and to tel lof the salvation purchased
by Christ on Calvary for every one that be
lieveth. He is here to fight no creed to war
against no belief but to accept every man
a- his brother who shall come in the name
of Christ aud prove it by his walk for time
ia too short and Iffe shonld be too wnest
to waste in fighting any thing save am and
satan. There will be more time in the next
world to disenss and dispute about the right
church and the wrong church but we wil.
know a great deal more over there than we
I do here and perhaps we wil. know enough
. to talk le-s. He is here because the people
! of Savannah have eouh and they are notaj
I caved yet because the gitt of eternal life is
r ofleredL -hem that he whs sent U> ascertain
1 i whether or not they would accept it. After
r the sermon Rev. Habersham made »
. | congratulatory talk io which he epoke of
the sermon of Rev. Maxwell as being not
only scholarly but also practical and sen-d
ble and from which remark t| se writer
considered was the general impression of
everyone present For the musical part of
the programme we were indebted to Prof.
Mclntosh and his ch< ir. The pieces sung
were all well rendered and showed careful
preparation For the church and its young
pastor we wish great success as implements
in God's hmd
Education and Its worth to tho
Human Family.
an essay delivered by mrs. m. r.
WILSON, AT BT. JAMES TABERNACLE
September 25 1887.
[Concluded from last work.]
A finished education is supp fed to
consist mainly of literary cultur , The
story of the forges of the Cyclops, where
the thunderbolts of yore were fashioned
is supposed to adorn elegant scholar
ship more gracefully than those stur
dy truths which are preaching to this
generation in the wonders of the mine
in the fire of the furnace, in the clang
of the iron mills, and the other innu
mt*rable industries which, more than
all other human agencies, have made
our civilization what it is. aod are des
tined to achieve wonders yet undreamed
of. This generation is begining to
understand that education should not
be forever divorced from industry: that
the highest results can be reached only
when science guides the hand of labor.
Grecian children were taught to rev
erence and emulate the virtue of their
ancestors. Our education forces are 80
wielded as to teach our children to ad
mire most that which is foreign and
fabulous and dead. We insist that, it
should be m.ide an indispensable con
dition of graduation tn every American
college, that the student must under
stand the history of this continent since
its discovery by the Europeans, the
origin and history of the United States,
its constitution of government, the
struggles thr iigh which it has passed,
and the rights and duties of citizens
who are to determine its destiny and
share its glory. At present the most
valuable gift which can be bestowed on
women or girls is something to do,
which they can do well and worthily
and thereby maintain themselves.
The stork is a sacred bird in Holland
and is protected by her laws, became it
destroys those insects who would un
dermine the dikes and let the sea again
overwhelm the rich fields of the Neth
erlands. Shall this government do noth
ing to foster and strengthen those edu
cational agencies which alone can shield
the coming generation from ignorance
and vice and make it the impregnable
bulwark of liberty and law? The chil
dren of to-day will be the architects of
our country's destiny in 1900. Prom
inent among all the rest should be our
Study of the wonderful history of the
human race, in its slow and toi’some
march across the centuries—now buried
in ignorance, superstition, and c”ime:
now ri-ing to the sublimity of heroism,
and catching a glimpse of a better des
tiny; now turning remorsely away from
and leaving to perish, empires and civil
izations in which it had invested its
faith and courage and boundless ener
gy for a thousand years, and pl unzing
into the forests of Germany and Gaul
and Britain to build for itself new em
pires. better fitted for its new aspira
tions; and at last, crossing three thous
and miles of unknown sea, and building
in the wilderness of a new hemisphere
its latest and proudest monuments.
Cicero says; “man was born for two
things—thinking apd acting.” If man
is the monarch of this world, he ought
to be conversant with the nature, oper
ations and possibilities of all the ele
ments of his dominion. If education
will assist him in these regards, his at
tainment of it is a msral duty especially
do young men need the assistance of a
thorough in treading the
path of this eventful life. They not
only need it but fheir happiness de
mands that they possess it, the question
now asked concerning an individual of
any race is this: *Ts he learned or not
learned*” The reply il no or yes with
out any allowance for supposed disad
vantages, if a certain man desires to
occupy a place io this world •ommon
with all ma'ikind he must p'MHs the
requisite qualifications. What the
world need most is a broad minded,
clean sounded men and womeo» fam
ot the opinion that if education would
thus obtain without the bias of sexual
restrictions that those great questions
that are agitating the public mind,
among the most prominent of which is
the Glenn bill and female suffrage,
would find an early solution* Female
lawyers, doctors, preachers, editors and
lecturers, are held to be usurpers of
these vocations against the veto of God.
Did this age reverence and encourage
such women, women as George Elliot,
Harriett Beecher Stowe, M <ry Walker.
Belva Lockwood. Lucy Simpson, Jnha
Howe. Mary Livermore and Lucy
Stone as their endeavors to occupy
; place in the affairs of this life, for which
I God has given them peculiar fitnes- m
no degree inferior to the fitness of men
f occupying the same, the world would
experience a hippy change in the men
til quality of its generations unborn
Whiie we may nor need education any
more (han any other race, we yet need
it as much, custom alone influence* to
us to make a distinction between races
Technically, there is but one race, and
( tnat is the human nee. The col ircd
i race is in anteger of the world's make
up, and as such may be a potent factor
of good aud evil, the good we accom
plish will be accredited to us. t*>e evil
will not be placed to another s account j
but while all actions must have a source
there is yet no restrictions as to their
expansion saving natural friction.
We have a place, why n>t take it?
We hive (asks, rhv not perform them?
as it has b' en said* ‘ Education may be
a good or a bad thing,” according as it
is use 1, passive knowledge harms nor
benefits no one, but when put into
practice it is either the most dangerous
or the most beneficient of influences. A
constable who enters a house to protect
it is in the best position to despoil it. A
lawyer who knows the particulars of his
client’s case can loose it just ns easy as
he can gain it. A medical doctor con
versant with his patient's makidy can
kill him as readily as he can cute him,
look abroad at the professors of man
kind study their spheres, and it will be
found that the ones accomplished most
good, are capable of accomplishing most
evil.
Ladies and gentlemen, let us educate
our whole nature, grasping all knowl
edge, intermedling with all wisdom,
consecrating it to God's great cause and
applying it to the good of mankind
until he shall come whose right it is to
reign*
