' >| Now is a splendid chance for mem bers and laymen everywhere bestir to do it. vilie, N. C., has written us a strong letter endorsing our fight for the manhood rights of the race,and as suring us that the race is with us in it, and for us to dare defend the right even though we should do so standing alone. Thank you friend Scurlock. We counted the cost be fore firing, and the fight will be kept up until the victory is won. Senatous Ingalls, in his famous speech in reply to Senator Butler, of South Carolina, proposed justice as the remedy for existing race troubles. So we say—justice on the part of both parties. If it should be given to col ored men in the South by the party in power, we would have three times or five times as many holding office as are now doing so. Yes, give us justice. We ask not more, we can not be content with less. Don’t forget Zion connection wilt be onehundred years old, sixyears hence. That most be our rallying year everywhere. The effort will be made to raise one hundred thousand dollars that year for all connectional purposes. We can do it. Thecon^ mittee will formulate plans ere long, and they will,be given to.the whole church for action. No church with any pride at a}l will fail that year. We expect the “Old Mother” alone to raise *500.-** Begin now to-thinks about -It. ??? * *" And still the Star twinkles for all. Its success isthe result of its freedom from timidity. It does not wait to learn what some one else'thinks and then write, But it writes what it thinks, and what it believes all others ought to think also. It be lieves it is right and then goes ahead. Nine cases out of ten we think our readers would vpte us nght. Then help us to reach more readers and convince them, too, that we are right and the Negro problem will ere long be solved. We are doing our best to solve it. The opening of the lecture room of Zion church, New York, on'Sun- 1 day the 24th of June was a grand affair. Bishop Hood preached a moat excellent sermon as did Revs. H. A. Monroe, J. W. Smith and J>. W. Wisher.

Just over the river where hunger, want dhd shadows have no place. !’‘Then said he.” Jesus’ reply was suggestive. “A certain man,” repre anting God, the Father, the King of kings, who has spread a great feist of fat things. Isa. xxv:6 God’s grace in which we have the fullest enjoy metit and the most agreeable compan ionahip. “Bade nteny ”"Firet the Jewiih people and the rulers of the ienttb.'

Oar plan3 of life and business engagements claim our attention, so that we had not time two hoars in chureb n>r Sunday School, 20 “I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.” This mau no doubt thought his excuse was valid because the Jewish custom was, that newly married men were excused from military service, the building of a house and the planting of a vine yard. The most ridiculous excusj of all. Why did he not take his wife along with him ? Who likes to go to a feast better than a young bride ? He might have asked her to go too, and it she were not willing, Tether stay at heme. The fact is, he didn’t want to go.”—(Moody.) It is too of ten the case that our dear ones and frienda stand between us and duty. People stay away from church because they have company. Take them along with you and good will be the result. 21 “So that servant came and showed his lord these thingB ” Repor ted the failure of having the invited guests to attend the feast Very of ten the embassadors of the Lord go to him in sorrow, because m«n will not obey the message given them “Then the master of the house being angry,” God is angry with. the wicked every day, but his mercy and long-sufferings bear with our imperfections, which sooner or later cease to be. “Said go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the dty.” The feast must be par taken of at once. The people who iohabit the large and small streets of ail olaasesand conditions are welcome to this feast.

Millions still on the way and yet there is room. See the vacant seats in our churches and Sunday Schools. How arc they to be filled ? 23 “Go nut into the high ways and hedges/, unto to those who are regard ed as the under side of society, who are homeless, looked upon with con tempt and scorn Yoir will find diamonds, pearls and precious ones in that class. “And compel them to come in.” Persuade them earnestly, kindly and gently to come into the feast without any excuse of looks or dress, and make them feel at home that they may enjoy the rich repast “just as I am.” “That my house may be filled.” “For I say uuto you that none of those men that were biddenrshall taste my supper.” A sad fate to those who refuse the Gospel. No matter how learned, how rich, how respectable, shall be excluded from the eternal feast and marriage supper of the Lamb. Whoaefcfc willit be?
