THE MOENING OEEGQNIAN, MONDAY, JANTJAKY 15, . 1900. WOMAN AND HER WORK ronaiiAro teeds a school op household science. Pablic-SiIrUetf "Women Favor It 3Ir. Gook's Gift Should Not Ex clude Girls. There seems to be but one opinion among Portland wives and mothers as to lageairaMl!ty of securinc for Oregon girls as well as for Oregon boys the possible benefits that may accrue from J. W. Coek's gift of land as the site for a tech alcal school in this city. A number of public-spirited -women have been consult ed on this point, and without exception expressed themselves strongly in favor of having the gift as freo to one sex as to the other, without discriminating between them, as It was feared might be done. They feel that the present would be a timely 'season for tatang the first step toward establishing a school of domestic science for women, which could not fail te prove as advantageous to the com munity as the technical school for boys that is contemplated. There was no dis senting voice as to the need for such a school in Portland. Among those Who Mndly acceded to the request of The Ore goni&n to make public their opinions were the following: Mrs. Hosa F. Burrell Whatever step in education tends to discriminate between sexes I consider a retrograde movement. All that helps to make one more capable of earning a livelihood, or that tends to strengthen and elevate the character, should be open to both sexes. Mra. W. S. Ladd I approve most de cidedly of Industrial sciioois for boys and gtris, and liope Mr. Cook's generous gift can bo used for the benefit of both. Mrs. Henry TV. Corbett It Is very de sirable that a beginning should be made 3ww toward establishing a school of house hold science in Portland for girls. I con eider it a pity, however, that Mr. Cook's gift of land for a technical school is not placed in the hands of the city, as better results would accrue to the community from such an arrangement. Mrs. J. B. Comstock, president of the PortJand Woman's Club Since Mr. James Oook has signified his intention of mak ing a substantial gift toward the founda tion of an industrial school, much inter est has been taken In the matter by those who feel that industrial training Is to be a large part of our educational system In the future, and through this gift Pert land may ie able to make a start in this direction. "I do not think that any one who is alive to the possibilities of the approach ing 20fcb century can Tor a moment think of excluding women from any of the bene fits of such a gift, and it should not be placed in the hands of those who think otherwise. 'Glris need systematic training in domes tic ooonomy, in connection with other stud ies, during childhood, because in this way habits are formed that are a blessing for Hfe to themselves and to all with whom they come in contact. ""Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary have established schools that lead toward the ideal. They are called head schools and hand schools, and are under the same roof, three hours being given to ordinary education and three hours to whatever trade or profession the girl has chosen in which to earn her bread. In these schools everything is taught from the hemming of a handker chief to the creation of an elaborate gow n, many wealthy ladies ordering their dresses from these schools. "Many of the pupils are offered lucrative positions before they arc graduated, and all are able, on leaving school, to earn a comfortable living. The food from the cooking department, alvrajs prepared un vw supervision of an experienced teaohfct, te served in a lunchroom for women; and lace work, artificial flowers, etc., are aU sold, thus bringing a return toward the support of the school. 'Thirty years ago public authorities paid little heed to the instruction of girls be yond the elementary branches, but now industrial training Is found to be so use ful that in many cities of Germany two thtr&3 of the expenditure for those schools is defrayed out of the municipal funds, and one-third out of the national treas ury. "In our own country a small tax, set aside from the city, county and state taxes, would be wisely spent in the sup port of these schools, and In Portland would supplement the generous gift al ready made. Bill Through Iicgrlslnturc. "It should be the duly of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs to get such a bill passed through the legislature, and women's clubs throughout the state should give it their hearty support. "in the end, men will receive the bereilt of such an expenditure for girls in better ordered homes, in a more economic use of anoney, and in the comfort of a domestic life that has been raised from a round of drudgery to one where wisdom and love go hand in hand." Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett I approve of Industrial schools for both girls and boys, and I see no reason why the use of this land that Mr. Cook has just donated to the city should be restricted to boj s. Mrs. John McCraken It Is just as im portant to the community that this gift of jHt, Cook's should benefit girls as that it should benefit bojs. The people of Portland would reap great advantage from & school of domestic science where girls oould be trained in housework. And this would help wonderfully toward solv ing the servant question, which is in a dreadful tangle just at present. It Is the ruination of girls to let them run around over the city without employment. I have always been strongly In favor of educat ing girls to become useful wives and snothers. Mrs. A. E. Hockey I am convinced that it would be an excellent thing to iiave a school of household science estab lished here in Portland. There is very urgent need of it If girls while doing their giammar school work could have systematic instruct on in domestic science It would be the best thing in the world for their proper development. Once start ed, the school would bring such quick and sure returns, for the work is wonderfully encouraging in its results. But it probably would not be a wise tiling to have It con nected with the public school system of this city. "We must think carefully before saddling the city with new expenses. And it is not well to have the state assume too many responsibilities. Soon Became Self-Snnportlnff. "I haveien a little something of the Tvorkirfgs" of such a school myself. In Dw& City one was started by private char it' Xer the Bohemians of that town, who wore too much inclined to fall hack upon the county for aid. The school succeeded wonderfully, and soon became self-supporting. The girls carried the work right into their homes, and thus a marvelous amount of good was accomplished." Mrs. James Laidlaw and others also ex pressed themselves in favor of girls shar ing with the boys the benefit of Mr. Cook's eat. As there is a possibility of Mr. Cook's land gift being made over to the T. M. C A., the question naturally arises whether this would necessarily entail the exclusion of women from the enjoyment of privileges connected with it. Secretary Stone expressed himself as fallows on this point; ""The present management, I think. Is inclined to give favorable consideration to the project of admitting girls as well as boys to the classes; but at present they are qtrtte reluctant about expressing them selves positively one way or another on tins subject. They have nothing definite in view as yet. But such a plan as this was the very thing they have had In mind lor some time back. An arrangenOht of this sort Is now being contemplated more or less In other cities, and Is part of the plan described by Mr. Sinclair, of Day ton. O., in his address at the Commercial Clab. "So far we have had only men in our classes. But there is nothing narrow about us. We draw no line of color or na tionality. Among our students are found Chinese, Scandinavians, Swedes, Amerii can-born citizens and negroes." MULTNOMAH JUNIORS. Saturday Morning Scenes at the Gymnasium. Every Saturday morning groups of laughing, rosy-faced boys and girls may be seen wending their way toward the Multnomah clubhouse. When once the yawning doors have swallowed them, there are merry scamperings over the big gym nasium, much feeling' of one another's bi ceps, and lively trials of skill at the climbing poles, the traveling rings or the vaulting bar. The first class is called at 9 o'clock. It is made up of boys varying in age from 6 to 16, and very Interesting it is to watch them swing their Indian clubs in parallel circles, reverse circles, and short-shoulder circles; or go through the pretty wand ex ercises; or build a pyramid; or go down the whole class of them on their stom achs and their toes and try to raise them selves hy their hands from this position; or attempt to touch the floor with their fingers without bending their knees; or with their heels on the floor and their hands on their hips, pat time with their toes. They make a pretty sight in their "gym suits," each bearing the huge winged M on his chest. At 10:30 they scatter, taking themselves with bright cheeks and light hearts and many a joke by the way, to the swim ming tanks, while the girls take their place under Miss Hitchcock. This class of girls Is an innovation this year, and is becom ing very popular. So far they have had only five lessons. But they are rapidly learning to master all the mysteries of the "gym," from the German horse to the horizontal bars. They even venture, in play, to try their hand at the punching bag. In a brave attempt to learn to spar. And, as one may well bel.eve, pale faces are growing rosy, and slim bodies more sturdy, with every succeeding Saturday. TRAINING THE -HAND. Pendleton Clubwoman Argues in Favor of It. Pendleton as well as Portland Is Interest ed in the subject of manual training, as will be proved by the following very able paper read at a recent"'meeting Qf the Thursday Afternoon plub.F Mia. C.'!. Colesworthy, the writer, after discussing in a general way the benefits to be de rived from It, said; "Of the advocates of manual training there are four classes. The first would Introduce Into the public schools tools of one sort or another, in order that by using them a part of each day the pu pils might develop physically; for, they say, we have a three-fold nature the physical, the Intellectual and the moral and education consists in training the whole nature of the child simultaneously. The second class would Introduce this kind of training in order to prepare pu pils for the business of life, so that, on iMvlnr . cnhoni ., ;. i, ., SslTdTtrainS? S?S?,?,T ure f ? Sffl?S.S- .. .0 .- jwacwua. vucj mcLy uc ai uxi;c ture merely, and not for teaching trades. but because the dealing with material things benefits the mind and contiibutes an important element to all intellectual growth. And the fourth and last class advocates manual training, not only for the reasons already named, but for the broader reason that this kind of training is a cure for nearly all the evils that Infest society. All these advocates agree that manual training, whether for one or another of these purposes, should be used in our public schools. "The false notion that hand work is de giading must give way, for it is an in eult to Industry, talent and genius. Let the hand of labor be Idle, and there en sues an unfruitful pause, which causes want equally in the hut and in the pal ace. "Therefore the hand - which feeds, clothes, houses and warms the human race must be trained. All men ought to be made familiar by experience with the toil and thought that enter into the construc tion of those things of use and beauty which contribute to the welfare of the human family. "Work is the most potent of all educa tional forces. An illustration of this fact may be found in the extremes of art in the early Italian painters and sculptors, whose fingers were disciplined to skill In the goldsmiths' shops, and in the lives of the world's distinguished mechanics, not ably that of George Stephenson, who com passed more good for man than all the soldiers, statesmen and scholars of his time. "The training of the eye and hand Is de manded in these new elements of educa tion, and kindergarten training is at one end of line, and scientific manual train ing at the other. "Drawing, which is thetrainlng of the. power of expression by delineation, lies at the base of all constructive work, which is the training of the power of expression by construction, and they must go hand in hand. The constructive work will be represented in various grades by mate rials within the power of the child to handle and use. It will be block-building, stick-laymg, paper-folding and easy clay work In the kindergarten; paper-folding, paper-cutting, clay work in primary and lower grammar grades, and in higher de partments it will take the form of wocd and metal work, sewing, cooking, etc. "I would not have the public school, a trade school to teach each pupil .a trade, but it should give a liberal education to both the brain and the hand, thus pav ing the road for many trades, Instead of training the brain only. It should fit a child to enter a trade school with the al phabet of trade, as the college fits -the person to enter the professional school with the alphabet of the profession. "The best-equipped manual training schools do not profess to take the place of the apprenticeship, for1 they only teach the rudiments of several trades and de velop Intellectual power to acquire any trade easily. The present primary school methods repress the child's demands for activity of body Instead of directing them. "Those restless energies of the child should be utilized for Ills education, in stead of being considered obstacles to It He is mischievous because he has nothing to do. The kindergarten Is a great step towrard training the child according to the laws of his being, and let us hope to see the use of things encroach still moro upon the use of books in the early years of the child's life. "Some of the objections to manual train ing in our schools are that it will turn the schools into workshops, overcrowd the teachers and pupils and result In teach ing trades. These are mistakes; manual training is a part of education, pure and simple, nothing more nor less. It should have no reference to any kind of special training, technical or professional. "There is sufficient reason to think it would not overtax teachers and pupils, in the fact that the students of the manual training schools of St Louis, Chicago, To ledo. Philadelphia and Boston spend three hours a day in hand work, and yet make as much academic progress as the pupils of the city high schools. To this fact may be added another; namely, that the great majority of the visitors to these schools are business men, lawyers and doctors, and they all regret that it was not their good fortune to have had such training. "We may well believe that manual train ing would pay Its cost simply as an aid to discipline, regardless of tt.e fact that we live by labor and not by literature. Are we not disposed to think that there is no education but 'book education'? Do we not act on the hypotne&is, even if we disclaim it that the object of education is knowledge, ignoring the fundamental fact that the great end of education is ac tion through knowledge? "Pestalczzi said, 'Education is the gen eration of power.' "Huxley says: 'What men need Is as much knowledge as they can assimilate and organize into a basis for action.' "Rousseau's remark is certainly true: 'One hour's work will teach your pupil more things than he can remember from a whole day's explanation.' ' WOMAN'S GENEROSITY. .Pacific Coast Lends In Public Bene factions lor 1S09. A rough estimate of. the notable, gifts made by American women for purposes of public good in the year just ended has been found to approximate the sum of $1G, 000,000. And the delightful thing about It is that fully three-fourths of this amount comes from Pacific coast women- It Is right and natural to take an honest pride in this pleasant fact. Of course, the largest single gift was that made by Mrs. Stanford $10,003,000. She and Mrs. Phoebe Hearst have been con stantly adding to their gifts to the uni- SATURDAY MORNING SCENE AT THE MULTNOMAH ATHLETIC CLUB AVITH THE GIRLS. versltles they have so generously built up in California, until Mrs. Stanford at least has become In the parlance of mil lionaires a "poor woman." Miss Flood's presentation of her father's country place at Menlo Park to the uni versity of California, made last year, has been supplemented recently by a gift of money. The house and its contents are valued at $1,000,000, and a tract of nearly f 3000 acres is included -in the transfer. - Another California woman has been munificent in her gifts; this Is Mrs. E. B. Crocker, who has conveyed to the Benevo lent and Protective. Order of Elks her home in Sacramento as a memorial of her husband. It Is valued at $90,000. Mrs. Joseph Moffatt, of Los Angeles, Cal., has given property to the value of $50,000 to the endowment fund of the Na tional Florence Crittenton Mission a charity which was founded 16 years ago by Charles N. Crittenton, of New York, in memory of his daughter. For the maintenance of a home for con valescents and invalids at Sapta Barbara, $SO,000 has been left by Miss Anna S.

It will be observed that the larger part of these benefactions go for educational purposes, the rest to philanthropy. The total of gifts and bequests for the five years 1893 through 1S97 in this coun try was more than $165,000,00 that is gifts from private fortunes for public uses, says the New York Sun. Of this, $45,000,000 was given during 1897. In 1893, in New York city alone $25,000,000 was given away in charity. During the tame year, the gifts of 34 women in the United States for higher education amounted to $3,446,400; of this sum, Cora J. Flood gave the largest amount, or $2,000,000, and Helen Gould, beside her donation to the government, gave $37,000 for educational purposes. Nextins&o to Mrs. Stanford's gift of $10, 000,000 for the vear 18S9 comes that of Mis. Lydia Bradley, of Peoria, 111. It was pre sented last summer to the Bradley Po y technic institute, and constituted her sec ond donation, the first being a gift of the land on which the institute was bu'lt and the money to build it. That Involved a sum approximating $250,000. In addition, Mrs. Bradley has given to Peoria 137 acres of land for a park, she has built a church, a home for aged women and many other smaller institutions. Mrs. Emmons Blaine, of Chicago, in May, announced that she would found a college of pedagogy, the institution to be started with a fund of several hundred thousand dollars. She has had this idea in mind for somewyears," It being her de sire to accomplish a practical good for poor gjrls by giving them an opportunity to become teachers. She bestows a per manent benefit upon them. The new col lege of pedagogy, built! and endowed by Mrs. Blaine, will represent an outlay of $300,000.

Since her husband's death, Mtrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt has sent $5000 to the police pension fund, as a recognition of the services tendered by the police force at the time of Mr. Vanderbilt's funeral. To the King's, Daughters of Newport her check for ?1QC0 was lately sent; the amount to 'be used in ministering to the sick poor. " . Mrs Frederick W.

ODD CONVEYANCES. Extraordinary Methods of Transpor tation Found In South Africa. National Magazine. Since the advent of the railroads into the interior, the old-time conveyances have disappeared, to a certain extent, but the quaint ox team, the 'ricksha and the mashela are still in use In almost all parts of the country. The mashela Is a hammock swung on a long bamboo pole borne on the shoulders of two or fdur net groes. The 'ricksha is a pattern of the Japan ese two-wheeler", and is usually piloted along the streets of the larger towns by energetic Zulus. The 'ricksha boys who are numerous, and occupy the same po sition as the Americaa cab driver take great pride in their personal ornamenta tion, and appear with monstrous wigs of feathers, gaudy clothing and rattling shells at their naked ankles. Like playful colts, they dash along the streets, champ ing, whistling, and kicking up their heels, as If nothing was more pleasant than to drag an adipose white man in" one of their conveyances at the rate of six miles an hour. The ox teams are none the less interest ing, for it is typically South African to have 10 or 20 sleek oxen dragging a cum bersome, white-roofed transport Wagon over the treeless, sun-tanned plain. o PORTLAND LETTER LIST.

TRUTH OF THE. GOSPEL SERMON ON PARABLE YOUNG MAN. OF RICH "Master, Tnou Hnsi Said the Truth.' Was Rev. W. S. Gilbert's Text Ot Calvary Church. Rev. "W. S. Gilbert, of Calvary Presby terian church, preached yesterday even ing from the text Mark xii:32, "Master, thou hasteald the truth." He said: "A young man, a scribe, came to Christ and asked what was the most important commandment. The answer was: 'Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first; and the second commandment is like unto it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." There is no other commandment greater than these. "The young man replied, frankly: "Well, Master, thou hast" said the truth.' "When Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, 'Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.' "Th.s answer of the young man to the Master .is worthy of careful thought. It is really representative. It is a very frank and broad confession. It ought to have led the young man to allegiance to the truth he acknowledged. -The world today Is asking persistently the same question: 'What is the most important thing? What is the great commandment? What la the greatest truth?' The same comprehensive answer is given, 'Faithful ness to God, and love to man.' And men quite universally give the same answer? 'That's right; that's good sense; that's true; Master, thou hast said the truth.' "Men today switch off on a thousand and one things, and so become entangled The truth Christ taught is the important thing to remember. If what he taught is true, then every earnest, honest man who replies 'Master, thou hast said the truth' ought to declare his allegiance to the Important truth and to the Master wiio gives that truth. "Christ is the one complete, perfect uni versal man. He touched every point of our life from poverty to the throne, from babyhood to age. He was tempted, tried, tested In all points; yet without sin. The world has for centuries held him on trial, and the verdict Is the same as Pilate's, 'No fault in hdm.' He is loved In the Orient and in the West, by the rich and the poor by the Ignorant and by the learned. Throughout all the centuries the "world has honored him. His truth also Is camplete, perfect and universal. He has not given only a few utterances that chance to be true. His truth touches every phase of the world's life. His teaching is not an enumeration of facts, but a statement of principles. His utterances have been the great moulding forces in the world's civilization, and plainly are certain to shape the life and destiny of the world. Brotherhood and equality and the universality of duty are echoes ot the 'good Samaritan.' The old law was fulfilled and displaced by a new life. 'Thou shalt not kill' was given the new meaning, "'Whoso hateth his brother Is a murderer.' The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. The Sab bath is a thing of blessing, and is intended for man's real good, not for his enslave ment or his debauchment. " 'Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are his,' underlies all good citizenship. The parables of the talents, the unmerciful servant, the unjust judge, the two debt ors, are principles underlying the Indus trial and economic world. The prodigal son, the lost sheep, wheat and tares, the rich fool, the sower, are principles that apply to the very lives of men and their relations to God. All of Christ's teaching in regard to the affairs of this world has been tried, and the world today recognizes Its truth. The world may find fault with the Chr.stian, but net with Christ. The world may not receive the creed of any human framing, but the plain truth of the Christ's teaching Is acknowledged, but what has astonished the world most Is Christ's teaching concerning himself. 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' Somehow through the Christ we get hold of the hand that Is Infinite, and we touch the love that is divine. We feel the sym pathy of God, and it makes us strong. It does give rest. 'I am the bread of life. There is a hunger in the human heart which riches alone, or the things of this world, do not satisfy. Christ satisfies the human heart 'I am the water of life. T am the vine, ye are the branches.' 'I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk In darkness.' T am the resurrection and the life.' And somehow the bereft of earth, laying their dearest treasures in the tomb, have taken un speakable comfort in his words, and a myriad of comforted lives have replied: 'Master, thou hast said the truth.' 'I am the good shepherd. Many a thorn-pierced life, tempted, led astray, wronged, lost and bleeding, lilted now again into hope and a new purpose by the Christ, out of heart healed and out of a life regenerate, has said: 'Master, thou hast said the truth.' It Is the cry of the redeemed as we feel Christ leading us patiently and tenderly back to the fold, 'Thou art the good shepherd.' "Christ has taught us of God until we know him today as Father, Friend, Com forter. He has taught us of the soul, of sin, of forgiveness, of love. The cross of Christ is the rock of hope for sin-burdened man. He teaches us of Immortality; Soc rates only guessed at It. But Christ has given us hope of life eternal, until death has lost its sting and the grave is shorn of victory. Scholarship has scanned Christ's truth and has analyzed every ut terance. And the answer of the worlds best thought today is: 'Master, thou hast said the truth.' The ages honor his name. History's every page pays him tribute. This is his crown, 'Thou hast said the truth.' " HIS FIRST YEAR CLOSED. Rev. Robert McLean Preaches at Third Presbyterian Church. Yesterday was the anniversary of Rev. Robert McLean's Installation as pastor of the Third Presbyterian church. East Side, and there was a large attendance at all the services. At the morning service Dr. McLean's sermon was appropriate to the occasion. He took h's- text from I Corin thians 111:9, "For we are workers together with God." He said among other things: "In his recorded utterances, Paul gives us a glimpse of the secret of his life power. No one can follow his record with out being Impressed by h!s intense en thusiasm, his strong faith, his deathless love. Here we have the secret; he was working with God, the relations being those of worship, heirship, partnersrhip. Guided by him, admitted into the divine counsel, in touch with Almlghtlness, he could well endure persecution, be patient in tribulation, cheerful through seeming disappointments and failures; yes, even face death with joy, knowing that the day of the Lord was coming, and the triumph wa3 sure. Th's thought of our partner ship with God is the one that I want to make prominent this morning, the first anniversary of my pastorate in thb church. If this is firmly fixed In our minds we will realize that whatever of success or failure may have attended our efforts during the past year, It was God working in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure. "One year ago I came among you, not a little heartsore at the sundering of old and tender ties. It has needed more than a year for me to get fully acquainted with the new faces, and become accustomed to the new conditions. There has been no special Interest, nor has there been any great Ingathering during 'the year. There have been added to the church 10 on confession, of faith, and 15 by letter, mak ing a total of 34. No one has been urged to 'join the church"; the effort has been to make them Christians. The Christian Endeavor Society has shown an Increase of nearly, if not quite, 75 per cent, wh le the Sunday school, prayer meeting and Ladies Missionary Society are doing good work. "The future of the work here requires careful consideration. It is a question if the changed conditions do not require a change of methods. The day of camp meetings Is past, and It is a question if the evangelist. In the sense in which wa read the term, is not destined to foLow. Religion Is becoming more practical. Men are realizing more and more that It is to be a thing of every-day life to be stamped upon business, to permeate so ciety, to regulate man's relations to his fellow-man In every waHc of life. " 'What shall we do with, the human family?' Is the great question In this day of centralization of power, of Industries. The ballot Is becoming each year a might ier power, either for evil or for good. This is the great problem placed before the church of Christ. As laborers with God we must be In harmony with, the Master Workman. Those who- built the great ca thedral of Cologno thought the thoughts of the architect after him. So must the co-workers with God learn to think the divine thoughts, and work on the divine plan. All labor will thu3 become a re ligious exercise. Christ was true, and hia work perfect. If In the carpenter-shop he had made an untrue joint he would have been no longer the Christ. The mightiest sermon the church can preach, will be through a true life. "The Master Workman rewards his co workers according to their deeds. Only the brave, the true, the faithful unto death will be crowned with him. "God, who from the beginning has wrought for the redemption of mankind, calls today for more laborers for his har vest, more falthfulnesa In his service. It requires more courage to stand for him than to serve In battle; but it is the manly thing to do. "May the Spirit that Inspired! Paul All every heart and soul for the Master'a service this year." FOR.TT-'FrVE NEW aH33IBERS. Important Event Occurred at i3i First Presbyterian Cnnrclu Yesterday was a red-letter day at the First Presbyterian church. The first com munion service of the new year was held and 45 new members were added to tho church roll. Thirty of this number united on confession of faith; the others uniting on certificates from different churches la Portland, and elsewhere. The servicea throughout were peculiarly Impressive. Especially beautiful and touching was tho hymn, " 'Tis Midnight, and on Olive's Brow." sung by the choir just before the distribution of the elements. Dr. Hill very feelingly addressed those who, for the first time, had come to the Lord's table, emphasizing the duty ot glorifying Christ In tho life, and tn.ua honoring his church. HELP FOR THE COLORED MATT Booker "Washinston's Appeal sad Advice on the Subject. CHICAGO. Jan. 14. Hundreds of col ored people of Chicago crowded into Bethel church today to hear Booker T. Washington discuss tho movement for a new fraternal insurance organisation for colored people. Among those seated on the rostrum were the Rev. Jenkln Lloyd Jones, Rabbi Hlrch, States Attorr.ey Charles H. Deenen, Judge C. C. Kohl saat. Judge Orrln C. Carter. Judge Tuthlll, Hon. Patrick H. CDonnell and Mrs. Jane Adams. Mr. Washington said: "In seeking to give encouragement to this movement I do so because It Js in line with the teaching to which my Ufa is largely devoted that of helping the race to prepare Itself for industry, dusI ness, to exercise thrift and economy to save money, to help lay up something foe a rainy day. "I am glad to have a part in this meet ing for the special reason that more and more each year the problem confronting our race in these large Northern cities is going to become an Important one. I believe our people can sooner conquer prejudice In the South than Northern competition. The young colored man coming to Chicago from our Southern states not only has to meet severe com petition, but he finds himself subjected to temptations which do not surround him. In his Southern home. All thesa considerations make it most important that any organization In. the North that has for it3 object tho encouragement of our people in the direction of thrift and economy, the exercise of which givca them encouragement to save money, should receive our special care and earn est consideration. "The negro in the North, as elsewhere, will prosper In proportion as he learns to do some one thing well learns to do It better than any one else; In proportion as he learns to put brains, skill and dig nity into tho common occupations of life.'. 0 In Memory of a Plff.
