life. He accomplished more for their
good than any other man now living
or dead. He worked with hla hands
and head, eschewing evil and the
contaminating Influences of politics.
Hla career was along lines of useful
nees In everyday affairs, for which
he was revered by hla own race and
honored by the whites more than per­
haps any other of bis color. Presi­
dents, kings, emperors, ambassadors,
statesmen, scholars and
business
men vied with one another to do him
homage. He traveled over this coun­
try extensively and visited Europe
twice, receiving every consideration
wherever he went. Upon him was
conferred college degrees, such as
never were before or since given a
colored man. All because he resolved
early In life to become useful to hla
community and country. What a no­
ble example, worthy of emulation by
all people everywhere of whatsoever
