.THE SCHOOL OP METHODS
— AS WE - '.
We arrived in Augusta Tues
day, the 16th, and went imme
diately to Haines Institute end
found everything M perfect
working order. One would be
surprised to know that such a
large crowd of young people
could be gathered together in
the Synod of Atlantic. Then to
see the activities of the work
ers.
First of all Prof. A. A. Adair,
who looks after the comforts of
the delegates, is as cool and full
of smile ‘as one could be. Thou
Dr. Long, as big and broad as
his name is long, makes every
body feel as happy as if you
were in possession of some
great estate.
The faculty could not have
been selected with greater care.
Jn fact everybody is doing his
and her duty.
The vesper services for the
week are being conducted by the
Rev. R. E. Foster, and with the
real touch of a spiritual meet
ing.
Dr. Gregg, of Jacksonville,
Fla., with his class, is a real live
wire. He makes things so plain
that men can see their good
or bad works, and must say, Did
not our hearts burn within us
while we talked together.
Look on, if you please, at the
opening and closing of each
meeting and see the dignity of
our own Dr. A. B. McCoy as he
directs every movement of the
Convention. Profiting by the
mistakes of Moses, he has men
and women doing their parts of
the work and then reporting to
him which makes everything
just right.
One might wonder and ask,
Why do things work so smooth
ly? until he or she could pull
back the great curtains and see
the silent power, Miss Lucy La
ney, unassuming, but working
hard to make everything go
well. Miss Laney, in my opin
ion, is the greatest woman I have
met.
The School of Methods this
year is the best we have had.
Can we not make it better next
year. With such young women
as Miss McCoy and others lead
ing the “Blues and Reds” we
can even improve on this year.
Let the slogan be “A Bigger and
Better Meeting for 1928.”

CELEBRATjS^SLAVERY |
Sew York.—This city recent
ly celebrated the 100th anniver
sary of the abolition of slavery
in the State of New York. In
1810 there were still 15,000
slaves in the State, and the an
ti-slavery element was growing
restless with the slowness of the.
elimination process^ In 1817,
when DeWitt Clinton was gov
ernor, a bill was signed, on
Mairch 31, providing that "any
Negro, mulatto or mustee with
in this State born before the
fourth day of July, 1799, shall,
from and after the fourth day
of July, 1827, be free, and that
children born of slaves between
1817 and 1827 should be born
free, but held to service until
twenty-one years of age. This’
provision was later confirmed by
the revised statutes passed and
signed December 3rd, 1827,
which declares, “every person
bofii within this state, whether
white or colored, is free; every
person who shall hereafter be
born in this state shall be free.”
