Congregational Church was very well filled yesterday afternoon with members and friends of the Anti-Saloon League of the District, which was holding a mass- meeting in behalf of the work, the first of the current year. Three ringing addresses were delivered by veterans in the fight against the liquor traffic, and singing by a large section of the Moddy Choir, consist- ing of upwards of 200 members of that ef- fective organization, filled out the inter- missions between speeches and made the meeting one of the most successful that has ever been held under the auspices of the league. Vice President Ewin presided over the meeting. With him on the plat- ferm were Mrs. J. A. Gillenwater, secre- tary; Rev. Allen Hazen, Rev. Howard Wil- bur Ennis, Mrs. Griffith, president W. C. ‘tr. U.; Mrs. Lillian Hollister, Mrs. Jose- phine R. Nichols and’ Messrs. A. U. Belt and A. N. Canfield. The first speaker was Mrs. Lillian Hol- lister of the Michigan W. C. T. U., who, after alluding to the greater need for or- ganized effort, said that the Women’s Council, now in session in the city, repre- sents a great power for good in this direc- tion. Yet she questioned why there should be need for such organizations when there are officers paid out of the public purse to enforce the laws of the land. Ex-Gov. Sidney Purham of Maine said that he had had a great experience in fighting the liquor interests, and strongly advocated prohibition. It had been tried in Maine and had proved successful and popular. He called attention to the fact that all the state went for prohibition with a large majority at the last election. He was glad to see the women of the country taking a hand in the fight, for he did not see how the men could get along without them. Mrs. Josephine Nichols ef Indiana, a lead- ing official of the National W. C. T._U., said that the -home and the saloon were alike under the protection of the law. The first was established by God, and it is the corner-stone of the state. Against it is the saloon, a dragon seeking to clutch it in its horrible claws. She painted a picture of the contrast between Maine and Indiana, to the favor of the former. She had heard that in Maine, by a code of signals, in w’.ch she was urinitiated, one might get s¢ iar as to have pointed out to him a man om he might follow down a dark alley who would sell a drink out of a bottle taen from his boot, but, she declared, “God speed the day when we have nothing but boot-leg saloons in Indiana.” ——_—_ ‘THE COURTS.

AT DOUGLASS’ BIER (Continued from First Page.) ~ 15th street, could not get in, but the police insisted on perfect order, and the proces- sion of—ggd-faced people poured steadily into the church at one door and out at the other. The guards constantly cautioned those who lingered past the instant that gave a fleeting glance at the face,of the dead. Some would have stcod and shed their tears upon the casket, but the pro- cession was kept moving, and no time was given for the demonstration of grief. It was a wonderfully impressive throng of Feople. Phere were white-haired old men, who, had known Mr. Douglass from the times when the struggle for race liberty be- gan in this country. Fathers and mothers lifted little children to see the face of their champion. Men and women wept, and upon all there was the sober look of gen- uine sorrow for the death of a benefactor. Here and there in the long, persistent stream of humanity came one bearing a flower, a fern leaf or a bouquet, which was silently laid upon the casket. Thousands upon thousands thus looked for the last time on the face of Frederick Douglass, greatest of their race in this age. The Funeral Services. When the hour of 2 p.m, arrived and the funeral cortege assembled in the lecture room of the church the streets for blocks “away were packed impassably denze with people hopeful of admission. At the doors the police with difficulty kept order. Many with tickets failed to gain entrance. The procession, led by Rev. Dr. Jenifer reading from the litany, entered the main audito- rium of the church promptly at 2 o'clock. . The church was then thrown open and rapidly filled to the last inch of standing room. In seats set apart for friends sat the widow of Mr. Douglass alone, until, by a change of seating arrangements, Justice Harlan, Senator Sherman and Senator Hoar were seated in the same pew. There seat in the front seats delegations from New York, Baltimcre, Norfolk and Annap- olis. Dr. John W. Becket, formerly pastor of the church, read the opening hymn, “Nearer, My God, To Thee,” which was impressively sung by the choir.. The Rev. Alexander Crumell of St. Luke's Episcopal Church then cffered prayer. The program was as follows: Scripture lesson, read by Bishop S. W. Wayman; re- marks by the pastor, Dr. Jenifer, followed by tributes by Rev. Hugh T. Stephenson, Dr. J. E. Rankin and Bishop A. W. Way- man; music; tribute by Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton, read by Miss Susan B, Anthony, Mrs. Sewall and M. Clement Haentjens, the Haitian minister. Prayer by Rev. Anna H. Shaw closed the services, The Pastor's Tribute. Rey. Dr. J. T. Jenifer said,selecting as his text 2 Samuel, 3-38: ‘Know ye not that there is a prince and a great ‘man fallen this day in Israel?” and Revelations, 14-13: “And I-heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the spir- it; that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.” -Dr. Jen- ifer said: ‘Thursday last the peoples of five continents and the islands read with regret the sad intelligence, ‘Frederick Douglass is dead.’ Today the world unites in sympathy with us, who sorrow for our great loss by this death. We mourn the taking away of him who was our eminent and loved leader, and most illustrious ex ample of our possibilities as a people— Frederick Douglass, a representative ever faithful to his people, their champion, wise, counsellor and fearless defender. Such a life as his is itself an oration and this gathering an echo. - “No man can give the people Frederick Douglass’ funeral discourse. He has de- livered that himself by hts life and labors. His career is written in fifty years of his country’s eventful life. For seventy-eight years he was passing through the most thrilling epochs Of his people's experiences in this their land of conflicts and of suffer- ings. “Our text tells us of a great man that had fallen in the national struggles in Israel. All parts of history are tributaries to the vast whole, as rivers that go into the ocean help to make a whole. It was the leading spirits among the Egyptian, Assyrian, Grecian, Hebrew and Roman peoples that made them so potent factors in the world’s advance in civilization. Each of these peoples at its appointed time came into its place as a part of this vast whole of history. The Hebrews have been large tributaries to the tide of the world’s ad- vancement. Moses, David, Abner and their kind evinced the.~ possibilities in leader- ship. When this republic entered as a tributary to this current of events George Washington, pre-eminent among his fel- lows, led them. The Afro-American be came an important factor in American his- tory, and Frederick Douglass has been the pre-eminent leader of them. Men show themselves great in the first place as they evidence their ability to over- come difficulties and rise to the achieve- ments that benefit their fellow man, as well as themselves. An Inspiring Example. “What an inspiring example of possibili- ties the life of Frederick Douglass has set before young men. A hungry slave boy, in coarse trousers, tussling with the dog Tip for 2 crust of brend to the conqueror of all opposition; the sign boards his alphabet. From this he advances—the devourer of books; the student of great thoughts; the orator, writer, author, lecturer, editor; the foreign traveler, consort and counselor with great men; United States marshal, re- corder; the foreign diplomat and commis- sioner. How full his life! How completely rounded out! How interwoven in the warp and the woof of his country’s history! “When all the great questions involving this country’s Interest or his people's wel- fare had been spoken upon or written about then what Douglass had to say was eagerly looked for; because he always said some- thing that gave an old subject a new set- ting, and threw upon a trite question new light. His comprehensive scrutiny and logical expression compelled the most dis- cerning to say: ‘We never saw it before in this light.” “Hence, in what he wrote, on the platform or in companionship Frederick Douglass was never an occasional man; but ever guarded, ever apt and ready, never disap- pointing those who heard him. Loving and sunny in personal contact, simple and un- assuming in manner, he ever impressed one with the greatness of his character. His tenderness of heart, love of children and of young people, high regard for womanhood, with that broad sympathy for suffering, ever invoked the trend of his great soul Godward. He looked upon man as man. How befitting, then, for such a man to die on such an occasion, discussing such a sub- ject! One whose life, devoted, as his has been, in conflict for manhood liberty—on what occasion and place more appropriate for such a soul to take its flight from labor to reward than from an assembly of the women of the world, struggling for the larger freedom and higher development of her sex, in the interest of better wife, mother, daughter, home? Mr. Douglasw Religions Convictions. “A great deal has been said and written about Mr. Douglass’ religious convictions and Frederick Douglass as a church man. ‘at I shall say upon this point will be ffm what I have been told by himself since my acquaintance with him, in the house of my father in New Bedford in 1862. One of the papers of this city says: ‘Freedom to Mr. Douglass meant not only freedom of the person. He believed in and was a valiant champion for the vast Itb- erty of the soul.’ But let no one be de- ceived by this statement and thereby led astray. The liberty of .soul which Mr. Douglass sought was spiritual liberty in a broader degree. Douglass was a converted man, In an address at the M.B. conference not long ago in Georgetown he told of his conversion. Mr. Douglass broke with the American Church and American Christian dcgma when he saw it sanctioned and sus- tained the enslavement and the bondage of a brother, with Its direful consequences. It was then that he had advanced beyond his country, and its church, to where Christ, to him, was larger than creed, and his Christianity transcended his churchianity. And from this point he never retrograded. In this terrific soul conflict he biundered into bewilderment, but God sent him de- liverance. In the office of his son Lewis, in a conversation upon religion, he told me of st. The crisis was reached when 2 ill was fast turning the national territory into the enslavers’ hunt- ing ground, and any citizen made lable to become a slave catcher. He was then editing the North Star at Rochester. “Rey, Henry Ward Beecher coming to that city calied on Mr. Douglass. In a talk they had Mr. Beecher said: ‘Douglass, how are you? ‘I am all broken up,’ said the fugitive Mr. Dougla! ‘Done With your church, your ¢ anity and all fis hypocricy. They have given your country over to slavery 2nd slave catchers, and your church sanctions it as a divine institution, author- ized by the Bible.’ Mr. Douglass said that Mr. Beecher sat down upon the head of a keg, taking the text, ‘Alleluia! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,’ from Revela- tions 19:6. Upon this, he said that Mr. Beecher for a half hour went into history, into science, into Scripture truth and other facts, as Mr. Beecher could. ‘When I arose from there,’ said Mr. Douglass, ‘I arose a changed man. Now I am in the trade winds of the Almighty.’ “Mr. Douglass has several times within a few months expressed to me the joy of his soul that he experienced in God and in spiritual life. “He had several times, after listening to sermons here in this church at the morning hour, grasped the speaker’s hand, saying: ‘I have been greatly instructed, edified and inspired this morning.’ “Several times he has told me how his scul has been thrilled by Dr. J. W. Beckett when singing the hymn: “Jesus, my Savior, to Bethlehem came, Seeking for me; for me.” Loss \to His People. “Death has ended the earthly care of tHe long and useful Ife of this great and good man. We can’t say that he has; fallen, but in a greater sense he has risen. By his death his true merits and character will be revealed. = “The hearts of the people will be cemented in closer bonds of sympathy for that and those for which he so ably labored. Douglass, the success, the stu- dent, the worker, philanthropist, patriot and leader, was given us of God and God has taken him. “ ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; yea, saith the Spirit; they rest from their labors and their works do follow them.’ “Upon _his return from the National Coun- cil of Women last Wednesday the chariot of God met Mr. Douglass in the hallway of his own home. Without a struggle the spirit, from the presence of his beloved wife,who was all alone, passed into a bette” land, in the seventy-eighth year of his age, leaving two sons and a daughter, with several grandchildren, to mourn their loss; Jeaving the race in grief, the world of mankind regretful, but heaven and earth unite in saying, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of thy Lord.’ “Father, brother, leader, farewell! Dear famfly, sons, daughter, grandchildren, dear wife, your great and devoted husband has gone, but look to the God of all comfort for aid and succor. You will ever be an object of the people and God. “Be you assured that you will never cease to have the deepest sympathy and the profound respect of a grateful hurnman- ity, for whom your great head gave his life and best efforts. Dr. Rankin’s Address. Dr. Rankin recited as his text, Psalm ev, 17:19. “He sent a man before them. He was sold for a servant. His feet they hurt with fetters. He was laid in chains of iron. Until the time that His word came to pass, the word of the Lord tried him.” Then he said: ‘There is but one paraliel to the life of Frederick Douglass, and this is found in the Bible; the Bible, which sur- passes all other literature. ‘There is uo | narrative which in natural pathos and elo- quence so reminds me of the history of the favorite son of Jacob as the story of Frederick Douglass. And I find God in one as much as the other. And I think, of all the men int his generation, so mo- mentous of great events, so influential upon the future of humanity, no man is more to be congratulated—could human congratula- tions reach him—than this man who now sleeps in death's marble before us. God made him great; yes, but God also gave him a great opportunity. And that oppor- tunity began when he was born a slave. “I feel the pathos of it, in every fiber of my being, when this boy, without father, without mother, save as once or twice in his memory she walked twenty-four miles, between sunset and sunrise to give her son a few clandestine kisses—yes, without beginning of days, for Mrs. Douglass never knew the day of his birth, was in that prison house of bondage, slowly emerging | to consciousness of himself and to con- sciousness of his surroundings. But that | was his schooling for the years %o come, It was the only way in which he could become a swift witness against the great wrong which was crushing the bodies and souls of millions. It was the ecrets of that prison house of despair which the | world needed to knéw. And God had given him the tongue of the eloquent to tell them. Fascinating as is the masterpiece cf Harriet Beecher Stowe, beautiful d | touching as are the scenes depicted, dra- | matic as are the m ement, powerful as are | the delineations, we ail know it is fiction. It is founded on fact. But this narrative is fact. “And I say, that just as God sent Joseph down into Egypt preparatory to great events which were to follow; to save much | people alive; just as His word tried him in the house of Potiphar and in the dungeons of Egypt, so it was with the boy, the young man Douglas ying there with Uncle Lawson God was girding him for that day when he was to go from town to town, from state to state, a flaming herald of righteousness; to cross o to gain admission’ to palaces, lifting up that great clarion voice, which no one who ever heard ever can forget or forgot its burden. So that I say, Frederick Do was fortunate in the misfortune of his dirth. If he hed not been born of a slave- mother, one potent factor in the great worth put upon the men and women of his gen- eration would have been wanting. God wanted a witness. After Dante wrote his ‘Inferno’ the people of Florence said as he walked their streets, “There goes the man who has been in hell!’ What the cause of freedom wanted was a man who had been in hell; in the he of human slavery, an eye witness of the dark possibilities and ex- periences of the system into which he w: born; who had felt the fron enter his own soul; who knew what it was to be com- pelled to yearn in vain for mother-love; to fight his way, inch by inch, into the sin plest rudiments of human speech, of hu- man knowledge; into any of the preroga- tives of manhood. The Beginning of the End. “J do noc at all underrate the work done by those magnificent champions of free- dom, who took this young man at twenty- five into their charmed coterie of their fearless eloquence; who gave him the baptism of their approval, who laid their hands upon his head, William Lloyd Ger- riscn, Wendell Phillips and their asso- ciates. But they needed him as’much as he needed them. After their cool and elo- quent logic, after their studied irony and invective, which, mighty as it was, was wanting in the tremolo of the voice of one that has suffered, of one whose very mod lations signified more than their words; when this man arose, as one rises from the dead, as the ghost of one, the crown and scepter of whose manhood has been stolen away, While he goes from land to land proclaiming the wrong and asking for justice, then the climax was reached. ‘Sis man made the work of such men as Garrison and Phillips and Sumner and even Lincoln possible. I do not wish to use the language of exaggeration. It is not fitting the occasion. It is not in keep- ing with the dignified manner and methods of the man whom we commemorate, or the providential moyement of which he was so long a part. But I believe that the birth of Frederick Douglass into slavery was the beginning of the end. And that this was just as needful to his anti-slavery associates as to himself. God planted a germ there, which was to burst the cruel system apart. “I think Frederick Douglass ts to be con- gratulated on the kind of tuition that came to him; no, that God had provided for him, through these anti-slavery asso- ciates. They were regarded as the off- scouring of the earth, and yet many of them needed their culture in the choicest New England schoois, and they sprang from the noblest New England stock. And when he went ubroad it was his ne to study such men as Cobden an and Disraell and O'Connell, and Lord John Russell and Lord Brougham. These men Mr. Douglass studied, admired, analyzed. His more studied addresses, too, show the influence the first_and greatest of New England orators, Daniel Webster. And he once told me that he owed a great debt to the poems of Whittier. To converse with Mr. Douglass, to hear him in public, one who knew his humble orlgin and limited opportunities might well ask, ‘How ‘know- eth this man letters?’ But, in the art of which he himself had such mastery, he had the best teachers and examples the ‘Anglo-Saxon schools could afford, whil not one of the great men mentioned ha such a thime as his, How carefully he {mproved his intercourse with such men, his observation of them, one has only to read his life to discover. Howard Univer- sity, I believe, gave this man the degree of doctor of laws, and there were some laws that no man knew better how to doctor than he. But there was not an official of the university who could reach high enough to put a wreath on his brow. It | rugged pathwa had to be done from above, by the winged genius of the university. Contrasts of His Life. “Then, in the third place, Mr. Douglass is to congratu’ated on the wonderful contrasts and antithesis of his life. If We y Ou in Lee Psaun from which 1 have quoted we read: ‘The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and let him go free; he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his substance; to bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his senators wisdom.’ If we except this prime minister of Pharaoh, perhaps no man who ever lived ever had such ex- tremes and vi udes of experience & Mr. Douglass. is probably no civil- ized 1ation on earth that has not been made acquainted with his wonderful story. “Perhaps he never saw a prouder day than when, as United States marshal—an official once so offensive to the sensibil- ities of a free people, because of his par- ticipation in the arrest and return of fugi- tive slaves—he accompanied President-elect Garfield from the Senate chamber to the platform of the portico, where he took the cath of office and celivered his inaugur address. ‘Th from the n whose territory w which the Capitol stood; exiled himself from his native land to escape arrest, first as a fugitive slave, and then as in complicity with the John Brown conspiracy; whose friends had actually paid the sum of 310)—I have this morning read the Dill of sale again—to purchase his freedom from bondage, and who now acted as the representative of the United States in the moment of transition from term of one President to that of another. “And if we tarn from his public to his private career, what more striking and unusual scene ever was introduced into the lot of man than his visit to his old and dying master, so many years after his escape from bondage? Was there ever an experience more pathetic? Was there ever forgiveness more gencrous? We pray, “For- give us our debts as we forgive our debt- ors.’ This our great Teacher has taught us. The spirit of forgiveness is the basis on which we stand before God, who has so much to forgive in us; is the spirit which fits us for the kingdom of heaven. Mr. Douglass’ Elo “I come now to the last ground on which I think Mr. Douglass should be congratu- lated. By many would be thought of first. Mr. Dougl: vas fortunate in his endowments Eloquence is a virtue. Th ave taught us. That is, there must be virtuous character, genuine truth and manliness behind all eloquent speech. A crafty, deceitful, dis- honorable man cannot be an cio- He ean deceive only the ground- eloquence is all a sham and Mr. Douglass commanding the ground on who had twice ence. figure, a commanding nee, a com- manding voice.
