EXCELLENT ADDRESSES

One of the most interesting and
instructive feature* at the eonVeh

People's union. Which U belt* held

been the pleasure of thos* wfc? Mr
UxuuU the convention to bttr ,?m.
ta lea tod inilmi and treat benflt
If being derived from the many in*
stroctive and enllgh teniae remarks,
that have been made.
In the address of welcome, which
bs delivered at the opening session,
Rev! R. L, Qajr. pastor of the Flrat
Baptist church of thUr city, brought
out several excellent thoughts, In
his remarks. Mr. Gay spoke Of some
of the peculiar disadvantages under
tfhlch the negro race In this coun
try is laboring today. Ho asserted
that the progress of the negro was
largely due to hla religious seal and
hie simple faith in the Almighty
God. He counseled patience on the
part oT both negrortr and whites;
eaeft lending to the other every pos
sible aid and stated that whatever
hindered the progress of one race, did
the same for the other. Many other
interesting Ideas iters brought out
In the course of his remarks, among
them being a prayer of thanks that
the 8outh of this oonntry afforded s
home to the negro Instcad^f to the!
anarchistic races of certal^parts of
Europe.
Dr. Suttcn E. Orlggs. of Greens
boro, is another talented orator who
' has mad4 a deep impression at the
prteent convention. He spoke brlef
i.ly, but his words ware well chosen
and his addresr was a most impi'ei
slve one. He remarked on some of
tha mistakes made by both tha col
errd and white races In the beginn
ing of the reconstruction period and
expressed the belief that the whit"
people did sot understand (he peace*
ful nature of ths negro* Dr.flfriggs
alio pointed out that the white peo
ple have nothlog to fear (rem the
?treufth of the negro bat ratbsr
their had to t?* the negro's weak
White man, he stated,
must s*ve the negro in enter te Mti>
himself front injliry through the
negro's weakness.
President A, M. Moore, M. D.. of
Durham, spoke Ob the better union
?: the (di-Hrl* tftliStot*. Or. Moore
hu ? mid TiMan of tktoci loach
p&'mir'sr&ss
the hope that gii conventions, Which
existed at present, would be united
and thjst everyone wonld work In
harmony. He recommended a plan
which. If fdopted, will revolutionize
in a very material way trfe work of
the foroes In this State. He would
have all of the different organisa
tions unite- and have a paid secretary
to work as a missionary, organising
And, holding Chautnoquas and in
stitutes and conducting training
classed for Sunday 8chool teachers
and worker?.
*The sermon by Rev. Mr. Oaken
waa replete with gospel truth and
was, listened to by an attentive and
appreciative congregation. The vis
ion of Christianity was dlscusee^ fn
a very helpful and interesting way.
"The man without this vision."
said Dr. Osken, "ft not able to con
serve the Interests of a race or a
nation. Jesus cared not for the dif
ferent races; He saw everything in
h?s vision of the human race."
Dr. Osken klsO pointed out how
the parents have the first opportun
ity to save their own children, snd
stated that man's greatest work is
now to save someone else; this be- 1
ing the. best evidence of his own sal
vet I on. Outside "of God, he stated,
there Is no real Joy and aalvatlon
| for men. The pastor Is a failure,
| who loo,k? down into the collection
plate to see the amount of his sal
ary. rather than looklhg up to see
the needs of his people.
Pt. Button K. Orlggs made anoth
er masterful addree? yeeterflay on
what .he wasr pleased, to .Wll the
