The Garrison memorial service was attended, by a small but attentive audience at the A. M. E. Zion church on Winter street last evening. Music was rendered by a choir, and addresses were made by two speakers, besides the pastor.

Rev. A. McCallum, the pastor, first spoke, giving a few statistics regarding Garrison's life and the good he did the Afro-American people here, and then introduced Dr. W. II.

Iliggins of this city, who spoke along the same line as the first speaker. the last one to speak was Kev. J. T. Bunn, a Baptist misionary agent of West Virginia.

He gave some very interesting facts abou' the race problem, and. according to the several present, deliv ered one of the ablest addresses that has been ever heard upon this subject at the church. He said that in the South the white people who go there to visit take the exception as the rule and iudce all the good XMegroes by the bad ones, who, he admitted, were many, but not nearly as numerous as the industrious, hard working element. He said it was the duty of all conscientious colored people to strive by might and main against this delusion, and that prejudice would con tinue to exist until they had proved to the white man the real value of the Negro. After his address a short prayer ser vice followed, and the meeting was nally closed by benediction by the pas tor.

On Monday night a largely attended union Garrison meeting was held at the People's A. M. E. Zion church on Win ter street. Governor Utter and Mayor Kevnoivi? were invited as speakers.

The white people also held Garrison celebrations at their various churches At the Calvary Baptist church Dr. Edw, llolyoke preached at the evening ser vice on "Garrison The Man Who Dared. Rev. John Deans of the North Congregational church on Walling street held up Garrison's life as an example of self-sacrifice. A fine sermon on "Garrison: Prophet and Reformer," was preached Sunday morning by Rev.

Charles M. Meldcn, Ph. pastor of the Mathewson street M. E. church.

He compared Garrison as a seer to Paul and Isaiah. RICHMOND DIDN'T CELEBRATE. People'a Strange Apatar ip Event Like GarrlaoBa Blrtaday. Richmond. December 11.

Rich mond, usually alive to everything that makes for race progress and enterprise is singularly indifferent in its observa tion of those days and events that sound ed the death-knell of the institution of slavery. Emancipation day has been forgotten: Lincoln dav. Douglass day and the stirring events' that led up to secession and the fierce fire through which the nation went to make a oer-petual and indestructible union of in dissoluble States have been all forgotten by Afro-American citizens of the once citadel of the Confederacy. This year April 3 Evacuation day was celebrated with becoming exercises for the first time in many years, but no other day in the three hundred and forty-five which have passed has been observed. Yesterday was Garrison day, and there were no exercises of a public nature held in church or hall, and the centenary of the birth of America's greatest champion for human rights, freedom and justice was not observed.

Our failure to observe the day in most befitting manner is a sad commentary upon our proud record of enterprise, pluck and progress a progress which could never have been attained but for the agitation" against the institution of slavery such as was waged by Garrison.

'And so it is; we find it in our weekly newspapers, in our monthly magazines and hear it from, the pulpit. It does not matter how much we dislike to hear it, it is the fad of the present time to discuss this vesed problem. After all.

no one has a better right to discuss it than we. For I firmly believe that we are to lie an important factor in its solution. We can be just what we want to le if we will. We are all builders or character whether good or bad. There is no power to stop you, either in pro phecy or criticism.

She can see no hone for our people, she is sure we are worthless. 'Again, we can prove her words false by letting the world know that the Negro womanhood of America stands for honor, purity and virtue. I believe we should carefully read every criticism or statement made aliout us; weigh them. look at them from every Point of view.

I am glnd to see a mixed audience here to-night: mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers It is going to take every one of you to make ours a worthy race.

Let us not carry on one-sided campaign le us work for the fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers. 1 am sure you will agree with me when I tell you that, in order to save our girls. we must have a clean, moral manhood. believe that the idea of the world is changing now, somewhat at least, from the old rock-bound coast.

Listen to a group of girls in conversation and yon will be surprised at the slang they use. Another evil I also observe among our young, and that is extravagance in dress, going beyond their means stop it. And yet another strange thing I observe is the intellectual tendency of our girls. It really seems that the larger part of their Intelligence is in their heels. Dancing and whist seem to be their highest ambition.

Our libraries and institutions of learning are shunned by them just as if they were pest houses instead of fountains of knowledge from which they may drink as deep as they please.

And vet. as bigolv as I appreciate this unexpected expression of your confidence in me, and esteem for what I bave so feebly done, words fail me at this tune to do justice to the thoughts which crowd my memory for deliverance.

"I have been trying to think what I have done to cause you to feel like stop ping me here to give applause. I know very well that a long tune ago. I made up my mind to spend and be spent, to wear out and not rust out, for tbe cause of Christ, the good of humanity and my race in particular. "I am afraid that you have called me to the center of the stage too soon. I am right in the midst of my work, in the thickest of the fight to stand by those who are striving to maintain the principles of our worthy institutions, the builders of homes and families and the builders of character.

A person who fails to give support to those who arc working and contending for the maintenance of the principles of whatever organization or in stitution they may represent, needs to be pitiei. And it is at this point where too many of us fail. As member of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, this dear church, Sunday school. Koreas Home Missionary Society and what not. I desire to always be found the right side that the side on which Ood is.

If this magnificent outburst of public favor is in recognition of any service winch I have rendered in any line of duty, the glory belongs to God. who gave the strength, the wisdom and the means of accomplishment. May the good be yours. If I were a great soldier- general and had been victorious on countless battlefields, and this honor came to me, I might come home amidst the plaudits of mv Nation if I were a great liter ary character and had written many books which bad been translated into the lan guages of the world, posterity might rise in tbe far-off years to come and repeat my themes: if. I were a great Dhil- anthropist and had given of my wealth for' the relief or the widow and ornhan.

the afflicted and neglected, my name might carved in marble that the world might read my deeds. But alas 1 I am only an humble disciple of Him who went about doing good I can give no rewards. I can only give thanks to you for the high esteem in which you hold me for my works soke. To my out-of-town friends and espe cially this noble little Dunbar, our erer- faithful ex-nresident.
