free Negro, legally married to
Phoebe, the mother of Isaac, who

in this state (Delaware) can hold
a slave; the second, whether a
father can hold his own children
in slavery
Were the Negro race the strong
er it would subjugate the white;
and the master now, would in turn
become the slave.
If the Negro has not by usuages
and customs of this state held
slaves this court will not institute
a new species of slavery, and de
cree that he can do; and we think
to hold Waves, would be to institute
that to give the free Negro a right
another and a dangerous species
of slavery hitherto unknown. The
free Negro cannot, in this countiy,
base his right to hold slaves upon
the principle of conquest. He is not
a different race of men who by the
sword have subjugated their fel
low mfen ; but he finds among the
slave population Ws b re them in
blood, color, feelings, oducaition
and principle; they are the same
with him, and have'never been in
subjection to him.
Another and a strong reason be
yond the mere question of policy
why the free Negro should not hold
slaves, is that between the master
and slave there must exist mutual
and reciprocal obligations and du
ties, the slave owing obedience and
fidelity to his master, and t#ie
master owing to the slave support
and protection. But the Negro is
not such a freeman as to extend
protection; he is nominally free,
almost helpless and dependent on

the white race as the slave himself;
ho has few civil rights, being mere
ly protected in his person and pro
pert by the law and being in some
cases to give hi« evidence in a
court of justice. He can hold no
office of honor, trust or profit;
cannot act as a juror or legislator,
cannot make or execute laws.
He cannot therefore, in any sense
extend to a slave the protection
due from a master, having no voice
in the making, altering, enforcing
or executing the Iaws; and having
himself constantly to resort to the
protection of the whites.
We think, therefore, that neither
usuage, policy, nor the necessary
relations of master and slave, will
permit free Negroes in this state
to hold slaves.
Humanity revolts at the idea of
a parents selling his own children
into slavery.

THIS WEEK
IN RELIGION & THOUGHT
by ROBERT L. MOODY
Arbor Day—
The time has come again that
we shall observe Arbor Day. An
author has well said:
“Poems are made by fools like
us.
Only God can make a tree.”
But it is a wonderful thing to
be permitted to help our creator by
planting trees. Trees do not only
help preserve the soil and support
moisture; they aro symbols of life
itself. All of us should desire to
bo trees for the sheltering of fel
lowmen.
One of the best friends to man
kind, on a hot day in July and
August, when one is walking a
hot dusty road, is the shade of a
largo tree. This tree is useful for
shade only when it is alive and
full of loaves. We can be comfort
ing to our fellowmen only when
wo are full of life and sympathy.
The Bible speaks of Christiana
aa “trees of righteousness”, the
planting of the Lord.” It says
that "Che trees of the Lord are
full of Sap.”
As we plant trees thU Arbor
Day, left ua think of ourselves
as performing the same deeds of
comfort and usefulness that we
hope tiheso trees to give.

City Union of the Ushers
and Usherettes
■ ■ i—■ i , a
Jack Hall, reporter
The instruction Ushers meeting
that was held at the Urban League
last Friday wa*, well attended
and much benefit was enjoyed by
all present.
As the old saying goes every
body has his day. Well, last Sun
day must have been children or
Juniors day, because I noticed
while making my usual visits in
line of duty “The Juniors” seem
to haw been officiating in differ
ent positions. Mt. Calvary, Junior
ushering, Salem, Junior Choir,
and how beautifully they sang.
Look like your pastor seemed to
have been pleased with their *er
vioes and spoke highly of them.
Sorry I couldn’t have spent the
evening with them, but I’ll come
again some time. Of course, Pil
grim always have two Junior
choirs working with the Senior
Choir, but to top the whole thing,
[ when I stepped in to Pleasant
Green, there I saw the president
Miss Henderson, assisted by one
cr two of her Ushers had a half
dozen or more “Junior Ebtes."
Wasn’t hardly large enough to
be called “Juniors” in the isles,
bedecked with badges and acting
like real Ushers. Miss Henderson
and her staff of workers deserve
much credit for the good work
they are carrying on with her
Junior herd
My attention was attracted to
the choir, and there would you be
lieve it was a group of young
singers as one would want to see
any place and acting their part
in true form. Much praise should
be given the two soloist, Misses
(Keys and Standhill for their ren
ditions when they sang “Is there
Any body Here Who Knows my
Jesus.” Why Ithe church fairly
locked with applause from the
congregation and it was great, I
tell you. I am sure Mrs. Makins,
their directress must have felt
very proud of them. Mrs. Union of
the Senior choir could stand to
have the Junior take all the
honors so in her very pleasing
manner rendered a request num
ber. “I'll tell it where I go,” which
was very touching. Of course you
know she has a way of singing
that we love to listen to.
The funeral services of Miss
Dora Marshall of Mt. Moriah’s
local was held last Mon. at her
church. Many resolution and con
dolence were read including one
from our own Union. Many ushers
were present in uniform to show
our last respect to our departed
co-worker. The body was shipped
to her former home in Ala es
corted by a sister and niece.
