A large number of white people went down and sat on the rostrum while bs spoke, before the address began, President Char lee F. Meeerve had the school to sing some old mel odies, "Swing Low. Hweet Chariot." "Hteal Away" and "Old Time Reli gion." It was marvelous music, having j me quality or naiurajness wnn inn touch of the training given In the school. In presenting him. Ir. Meserva said: "It's a far cry from the ox-cart and load of wood In Mwlft freek township to the greatest llaptlst pas torals in Mbadon, ths greatest rfff of-the- world." Ir. Broughton spoke feelingly of the old home, how he had played near Phew so many times In school and after getting fairly started, he ssld: "I waa sitting there and I thought of one thing that I meant to say. It may offend you, but wait un til you hear It all. And what I want ed first to say was that I thank Ood for slavery." He stood for a moment to "let It soak In" aa ha expressed It, and told how he had once said the same thing to an English audience and how mad It made some of them, not only for a time, but for a long time. And he followed It up. He told of the condi tions tn Africa and how the natives have nothing In common with their freed kinsmen. "They have no wor ship like you have, fhey have no mu sic like you have, the most heavenly of all music, because It la the mualc of the soul. How wonderfully Ood works out His plana and how wonderfully He haa wiwught upon you through an Institution as wicked as shivery." He said that as he came Into the chapel he saw 8am. his old family servant. As he came Into the preeem-e of Bam he tipped Involuntarily his hat. "Do you know Sam here?" Pr Kroughton asked. And Dr. Meserve replied: "Tes. he keeps us warm." 8am was blushing a let black In the rear. And Mr. Needham Broughton spoke out: "He came from a family of warmers." The colored people cheered. Ham. If you are In here, stand up." I)r. Broughton said, and the old Kroughton servant arose and the crowd cheered again. "Now, why do you cheer at the mention of Dam?" he said. "He never went to college; he Isn't BHnlnani,tUaiK It s be cause he Is a man." He declared that as a doctor he waa greatly Interested In the medlcsl de partment. "Tou stand right at the one all the medical colleges throughout the length and breadth ef this, country. Add when l say this I don't mean simply of the colored race. I mean among all the colleges that your graduates stand right up at the top." He said that the only chance for the church to live Is to hitch her self up to the present life. He told a line story of the moun taineers who were to turn out aafl see the cars come In the first time. Thev couldn't see the motive newer. They kept a safe distance, arfruen. chewed tobacco and spit everywhere and on everything. Finally a boy caught the engineer tn the cab. He had eel I led how she ran. "There's a man In It. by Jlnga."
