( N Wednesday moruing May 16th

Rey. Dr. Stevenson of London
Eng, and Dr. Gulcher of Baltimore,
menbers of the Methodist Conference,

sitting at Menphis, visited Fisk Univ.
- Both Gentlemen delivered very fitting
addresses. Dr.Stevenson spoke of the
reception of the jubilee singersin Eng,
land and the interest in Fisk Universi=
ty viewed from an English standpoint.
He encouraged the students to make
the most of their opportunities and
closed by saying that all of the people
over. whom queen Victoria reigned
would rejoice in our success,

Dr. Gulcher was both witty and

eloquent. He said we get out oflife
what we put init. No environment
nor anyboby can make a may, he
must do this work for himself. He is a
man because he has imbibed assimilat=
ed and mastered the favorable condi-=
tions arounl him. His. speech was
inspiring. The school favored the
visitors. with Jubilee songs, It wasa
very pleasant occasion,

-ONDAY mornig May, 7 th.
The faculty and students were

favored by a visitor who in spite of his
being an entire stanger. impressed. us
very favorably. by his graceful address
and easy flow of oratory..He knew

precisely what to say on such an oc=
casion to encourage and quicken the
young minds before him.

Mr, Sutherland of Toronte Canada,
He told how in days past our fathers-
looked with longing to the land of the
North Star, and how they there found
the liberty and protection, which our
beloved stars and stripes failed to
to guard. He was both humorous and
patriotic, He said that we of theU.S.
were accustomed to think of them as
being domineered over by some mon-
arch or despot. But to day they enjoy-
ed the same ireedom as of yore. in liis-
mind the highest aim of education was
to make citizens, and he believed that
christian culture here received was the
simpliest safest and only process. There
is no short cut to learning, it is a lifes
work and we but beginners. He
encouraged, above all the cultivation
of noble christian character. He
concluded by saying he was proud to
carry back the assurance that Fisk was
all and more that what it represented.

THE DEMAND. for YOUNG MEN.

To the careful observer of the pres=
ent and one, who jooks beyond the
narrow limits of his own horizon into
the future, there is no question fraught
with greater interest and is deserving
of more profouud study than that of
prepa +g our young men for future
usefulness. ;

We are the hope of the family, the
race,the nation Upon us will soon
be impose the sacred trust not only of
maintaining the lofty standard s up
by the fathers but the thrice, sacred
responsibility of moulding the characs
ter of succeeding generations.

The oratorio of St. Paul rendered

impressive and instructive. There is
only a little village there now and the
ruins were the only interest. Smyrna,
next to Marseilles, the greatest port
onthe Mediterranean, is a prosperous
city of over 200,000 inhabitants. We
had left the Arab behind when we
reached that city.

Yesterday we spent at;Athens and

what can I say of such a wonderful

experience.

No ruins are so familiar
through photographs and illustrations
as those of Athens, and yet, surprise,
wonder, and admiration are as_ great
at beholding the actual scene as though
all were absolutely new. I spent the
day to great advantage, having only
four in our party and an excellent
guide, Could not get to the Ameri-
can School of Greek as it was some
distance from the chief ruins and time
was very limited. Seeing is realizing,
is the truth which is constantly being
emphasized by my experience in this
trip. Modern Athens is a fine city of
100,000 inhabitants and growing.

The steamer had to come to Pireus
before going to Constantinople be-
cause the Greek ports have a ten days
quarantine against Constantinople,

We feared we would lose the latter
city entirely but a day was taken from

our time at Athens and the Italian
ports have no quarantine , sO we
brought pressure to bear and are now

_ on our way to the capital of the Tur-

kish Empire.

I find myself growing Afoiic and vig-
orous and can now endure about as

much sight seeing as any one on ship

_ board. I fear our letters have been for-

warded from Constantinople to Naples |
and, in this case, there will bea.
delay in getting them.

Please present my love to all the

members of the Faculty and to the

Students.
Most sincerely yours,
E. M. Cravath.

we land at Naples and the tour of
Italy begins, My ticket calls for about
two days of sight seeing in Naples and
then I begin the management of my ;

own campaign.

It will be pleasant, on the whole, to

get on land for more of the time and
to take sight seeing in a more quiet

and independent way.

On landing at Naples we will have

- been forty four daysout from New York.
Ofthis time we have been on land a=
bout twenty-three days,daylight hours.

and I have slept off the ship twelve
nights. The ship has sailed 7500 miles
and we have had _ railroad rides in
Spain, Egypt, Palestine, Syria and

Greece. It seems marvelous that so

much travel can be accomplished in
so short a time. ;

We have not had time,however, to
do more than get good glimpses ofthe

places we have visited, but these are of

inestimable value and they will be of
great help in all future reading and

thinking.

There was a great desire seemingly

on the part of Mr. Clark and the Cap=

tain of the ship, to avoid going to Con=
stantinople. Quarantine has existed

_ for some weeks against Constantinople y
_ by Pireeus and other Grecian ports,

and this made it necessary to go to

Athens first, and then to Constantino- |
eple. ee ie

After leaving Smyrna we held a
meeting to protest and to demand that
the ship sail to Constantinople ac=

cording to agreement. The prin-
cipal speaking fell to-me and the sen-
timent of the people became so
plain that Saturday night the Fries-

land headed for Constantinople from |

Athens and landed us there Monday
morning. We had one day only for

that beautiful and interesting eity, |

but we made the best use possible of

it. So we all rejoice that our itiner-

ary was not left incomplete by leaving

~ out one of the most interesting cities.

- Our Constantinople letters were
ordered forwarded to Athens but did
not reach us there andwe of course

missed them at Constantinople. :
I hope we may get them at Naples,

Your letter reached me at Jerusalem
and this is the last one that has come

to hand, I have had but few letters
but hope for a good supply at Naples

-and Rome. }
_ I purpose to spend three or four das S..

at Naples and then go on to Rome.

Will spend some time there and then

go onto Florence, Genoa, Pisa, Ven=

ice and Milan, Ido not purpose to

hasten or make sight seeing hard work

but to make the gaining of health and

strength first. My health is very much

- improved but my throat troubles me
yet.

After the devotional exercises, "Rev,

5 Its ultimate purpose with men,

The dignity of the gospel ministry

stood out in bold relief in the minds

~ of all who heard the exccllent address.

Rev, G.B.McClellan Turner deliv-
ered an address on the * Missionary |
Movement ofthe Nineteenth Century

He vividly portrayed the change on
the contivents and the isles of the sea

which the missionary had wrought.
How the missionary had written the
Bible. , Christ and God, succeeded in |

_ having the savage leave off barbarous
~ habits and turn away from supersti= s

tious practices for the Truth and the
Higher Light. The Missionary has

It seeks to

true principies of Christianity, to de=

velop strength of character, The

great need of the Negro race is for a_

more upright, intelligent, consecrated _
ministry.

The field is full of men
who are illy fitted for the high calling,
Negroes have been often misled and

deceived by men who call themselves

preachers, but who do more harm

than good by keeping upa system of

bedlamic gyrations and ignorant wor-

ship that cannot longer be condoned
_ by the Christianity of the age.

Intel-
ligence is spreading too rapidly for

such worship to keep a footing among

the Negro much longer.

The supreme importance of thor- _

oughly educated and consecrated min=
isters, should lead the thoughtful,
Christian young colored men of the

South to consider most carefully and

prayerfully the question of giving
themselves to the high and holy call
of the Gospel | ministry. The Theo
logical Department of Fisk Univer
ty is designed to place the advantages
ofa thorough preparation for the min-
istry within the reach wof such young
men, and we ear nestly solicit corres=

delivered by J. W. Work of Nashville.
His subject was The Negro in Litur-

graceful and easy.
| Tn all literature, he said re
upon the subject, the Negro is treat=
ed in two lights, mainly, In one he is
~an object of profound pity in the other
an object of utter contempt, now and
_ then, he is treated as a man with all
_ the capabilities and the possibilties of
other men. Cowper, Wordsworth,
Mrs, Browning, wrote from _ pity.
On this subject, among the Americans,
Whittier was bold, Longfellow sor-

rowful, Lowell calm but forcible,

Phillips enthusiastic. Mrs, Stowe

redowned the effort. Her Uncle.
