Glass, 473 Sumner Street A COLORED SINGER MAKES HISTORY. The New York Sun, in speaking of the funeral services of the late J. P. Morgan, the multi-millionaire, says: The creed was repeated by Bishop Greer and the congregation, and the prayers were read by the bishop. Then in a choir stall arose a Negro, Harry Burleigh, the baritone of St. George's, a friend of Mr. Morgan's, who tor years sang each Christmas eve at Mr. Morgan's home, to sing "Calvary," "The pilgrims throng through the city gates While the light is falling nst; They go to watch on Calvary's hill 'Ere the twilight hours are past. Through dark be the way, with eyes of faith They gaze on His cross above; And, lo! from each heart the shad- ows depart As th 1 ll11t Ht The hok al. l;t.4 s sang chorus: "Re t, mi ~ tile ary, Pe ee, ,_,. -te" tile soul ; Though Hf may 1:1.e dreary ay dow.n thy buroen-, - 0 come unto Me, I will not forsake thee, Though all else should flee." Conjure in your minds this magni– ficent scene. Picture this beautiful church-one of the finest 1n tnis country; the service being lead by three bishops of the church, and the congregation being made up of the brains and wealth of this country, and then let your minds dwell on the fact that they are listening to the soul-stirring music that literally pours from this gifted Negro's throat! Is not the scene inspiring, and do we not have cause for re– joicing? If there is any one lesson to which we would invite the atten– tion of your readers it is this: WORTH TELLS. No matter what might have been the friendly rela– tions existing between the late Mr. Morgan and Mr. Burleigh, If, at the crucial time, he had not been ab).P to deliver the goods he would not have been heard! His years of toil, of study, of frugality, of hope, of per~lnaclty, of perserverance, at last spelled SUCCESS. And so we would preach the gospel of hope to friends 1md bid t.aem be preparlni theµi.,selves for Rev. and Mrs. J. Logan Craw, Rev Craw Is pastor of the Bethel A. M. E.
