George Biddle—Bishop Alexander Abraham Lincoln and the Negro Race was the subject of an address given by Rev. E. George Biddle at a meeting of the Equal Rights league in McKinley avenue A. M. E. Zion church Monday evening before a large and enthusiastic audience. Rev. Mr. Biddle made special note of the opening years of the 18th cen- tury, from 1806 to 1812, the birth de- cade of Lincoln and other great men who stood firm in behalf of the colored race. Bishop Walters, who was to address the league, had to leave for Chicage early Monday. Dr. Sa Marian ren- dered_two piano solos during the even- ing. Following Rev. Mr. Biddle’s paper the lady stewards of the church, com- prising_ Mrs. Mary James, chairman, Mrs, Clara_Burr, Mrs. Betsy Evans, Mrs. Dora Randall, Mrs. Marie Sylvia and Mrs. Almira Hall, served refresh- ments. The evening's programme opened with the singing of My Country, "Tis of Thee, and Miss Hatitie Spivery re- cited Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. Rev. E. George Biddie’s paper fol- lows: . Lincoln was a hero. We all love to think of, and honor, heroes. We love to_think of Joshua, of Daniel, of Jere- miah, of Paul, of John Knox, of Lu- ther, of Hannibal, of Tousant L'Ouver- ture, of Frederick Douglas and of Booker T. Washington. The opening years of the 1Sth cen- tury were especially characterized by the birth of great reformers. Within this decade were born great men who stood firm in behalf of our race; John Brown in 1800, William Lloyd Garrison in 1805, John Greenleaf Whittier in 1807, Abraham Lincoln in 1809, Wen- dell ' Phillips and Charles Sumner in 1811. It is doubtful if in any 12 con- secutive years of any century such an array of liberty loving men and women can be found as can be culled from the history of the decade of Lincoln's birth; men whose souls were on fire with ‘the love of freedom for all men, regardless of race, creed or color. These men contended even unto death not only for the liberation of the slaves but for Irish emancipation, for Jewish rights, for woman’s rights and for the repeal of every oppressive law in church or state; and leading the van was Abraham Lincoln. A true hero is a_person who for the sake of others, and at the sacrifice of life, if need be, will fearlessly and boldly face difficult propositions: they who have convictions, and the courage Walter Unable to Attend Meeting. of their convictions. Such.a hero in the superlative degree was Abraham Lincoln, from his boyhood days in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, to the day of his death. We fully agree with the great secretary of state, Hon, John Hay, who once said: “Lincoln is the greatest character since Chriet. When we think of Paul, and the other great and good men of history, this is saying much, but none too much when we weigh weil the life and char- acter of our hero. The south knew that Lincoln was most_thoroughly opposed to the slave system and at once flew to arms when he was elected. It ls foolish for any- one to say that Lincoln was indifferent to_the blight of slavery. Knowing that he was right at heart, he took his time, he took into consid- eration all the states, all the sections. He was a master of men. In 1860, when he was making his run for the presidency, he said in his great speech in New York: “If slavery is right, we cannot object to its natios ality, if it is wrong, we cannot permit its extension.” In_dealing with the slave question Mr. Lincoln was obliged to so act that he ‘would retain the border states in the union; so he held his ground against the radicals on each.side of the question of emancipation; in prayer and communion with God he held to the right course. ‘Among some of the evidences that marked Lincoln a hero, Rev. Mr. Bid- dle gave the following: In surmounting his lowly conditions ang in_educating himself for the bat- tle of life. X In his obedience to and helpfulness to his parents, ever honoring and help- ing them even when he had a family of his own. He evidenced true heroism in attack- ing the extension of slavery in the days when speaking against slavery was the most unpopular subject before the public. He was a master of men, such men as Seward, Chase, Stanton, Freemont, Beecher, Phillips, Sumner, Garrison and Greeley. In closing Rev. Mr. Biddle said: Let us as a race revere the name and character of Abraham Lincoln, a man whom God raised up to lead our race and the country up from the terrible blight of slavery to freedom. Let us teach our children to study his life and follow his example. For the closing number on the pro= gramme, all joined in the singing of God Save the King. WFAHEY UNABLE TO ATTEND BANQUET.

Thin Men and Women Here’s a Safe and Easy Way by Which You May Gain 10 Pounds or More of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say: “1 can't understand why 1 do not get fat, I eat plenty of good nourishing food.” The rcason is just this: You cannot get fal, no matter how much you eat, un. less your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elemenis of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste.
