It clearly demonstrates the fact that death reigns in all portions of and knocks alike at the door of the hovel and the portal of the palace. It feelingly teaches us what mere shad- ows we are, and what shadows we pur- sue. however short a man’s life may there always gathers about it mething of love and sympathy, and when it gone some fond hope or ambition perishes. But though death has deprived us of their services, it has not taken away the result of their labor. For life leaves the body, and the body is borne to the ground, from whence it ometh; but fruits fall to the earth — republic he stands today a kes him unfit for the po- superintendent of other position in the public schools, and the peo- le demand his removal ple in the 1 dered and very statesman.

It is not the all of life to live nor all of death to die; but when we contemplate the life of a good Christian soldier, when he is so patient in sickness, so beautifully calm and triumphant in death, and not exclaim, O, let my life be like his; let my life end like his.

It is In order to s pathetic that so many of the Southern white people, those who should know most about it, know, in many cases, least of what it going on among our peo- ple as a race. Perhaps any other peo- pie with their environment, with their past, would be just as hard to reach, would know just as little about what is taking place about them; but I feel that it is one of the duties of institutions like this and of the graduates who go out from such institutions to get hold of the white people and bring them ix contact with what our people are do- ing. Very often we take too much for granted. My experience teaches me that when people are brought in contact with what is being done they become friends! and supporters of the work, I know you hear much that js of a disappoint- ing nature.
