Mount Morlah Baptist church was filled Sunday aHen6on6r"."fiear the program under the auspices of The Art Club, in commemoration of the principles and Ideas enunciated by the late
Booker T. Washington:1 w The club
members responded to roll call by giving quotations bearing upon the. trend of the lives of great men. The program was both unique and impressive in that it discussed the principles and ideas which Mr. Washington espoused. It was also Impressive because the songs sung were Negro melodies which Mr. Wasnington loved so much and which have gaineda distinct place in America's musical history. The interpretation by the Art Club in rendering them was artistic and soulful and made a deep impression.
The music was in charge of George W. Conrad assisted by Mrs. W. G. Huffman. Mrs. Conrad also acted as chairman of the meeting. The first address by George W. B. Conrad, "Let Down Your Buckets Where You Are" was well received. Mr. Conrad repeated the story told by Mr. Washington at the Atlanta Exposition years ago which brought the latter into prominence. Mr. Conrad said the application should be made by those of every community; make one's self useful to a community by doing all the good he can. He said a man's name is perpetuated because of the high ideals for which he stands and the service he renders humanity. Future Awaits Race. Mrs. M. A. McCurdy explained the story told often by Dr. Washington, "I'se Done Been Whar I'se Gwine." The application being other races having reached the zenith of their civilization the colored race is especially fortunate in that, according to the Law of Evolution the race has its future before it and it can only succeed by emulating the principles proclaimed by the late Dr. Washington. Mrs. McCurdy's address was of a high order and made a deep impression. Mr. A. J. Clay explained another great principle advocated by Mr. Washington in repeating the story of the cab drivers. '"An intelligent colored man wanted to catch a train in the south but was refused the services of a white cab driver, the colored man rather than miss his train and thereby an important engagement consented to do the driving and let the cabman ride behind. Mr. Clay stated that Mr. Washington advocated ignoring the petty discriminations in life which are the acts of ignorance and jealousy, especially if they stand in the way of. fundamental things which give one prestige and standing. -- Must Become Factor..; Dr. Huffman discussed "Industrial Education for the Masses," for which Dr. Washington so strongly contended. He stated that shortly after the emancipation the higher education for the negro, arguing that this could give him national prestige and recognition soon-

not accord him recognition but that Ms success and recognition would depend upon how largely he could be considered as an economical facto". Dr. Huffman showed that this argument has proven true as the result of the organ ization of the Negro National Business League of which Dr. Washington was president for the last 12 years. Foulke Makes Talk. A number of Richmond's most prominent citizens were present, principally among whom were Mr. cud MrB. Wm. Dudley Foulke. By special request Mr. Foulke made a sho t address in which lie complimented tb Art Club on their
, splendid and dignified program. Mr.
! Foulke spoke of the importance of perI petuating the negro melodies because
they represent an epoch in the negro's
life and are worthy of preservation. He spoke of the great loss the world has sustained in Mr. Washington's death. He stated that he always rejoiced in a colored man's success because he realized that he has obstacles to overcome and that for that reason Dr. Washington's life appealed to him all the more from the standpoint of greatness. The meeting closed with the large audience singing America and benediction by Rev. C, C. Goins, ..
