which will be first to recognize the equal manhood of the colored man--
the cars, the courts or the church? Would it not be a shame to the

it could not be expected to form them at once into large givers or
efficient workers for foreign fields; but who can say, after the marvels
of the past twenty-four years, what the future shall show, when the
coming millions shall arise and, out of gratitude for what they have
received, give of their increasing means and se
