Rev. Mr. Meade, of New York State, who has been in the temperance work among the colored people of the South, says he was present at a conference of their church, when the ministers were bringing up the money from the churches. One man brought “all de money he could raise,” and then took a shining silver dollar. “Dat,” said he, “is from me, for de home missionary cause. And dat,” taking out another, “for the foreign missionary cause. And,” turning to Mr. Meade, “if I had another cent, I’d gib it to you, for de temperance work, but I have to walk home thirty miles now, widout money to pay my fare.” Mr. Meade gave him a chance to bring up a package from the depot, and he was delighted to earn twenty-five cents for “de temperance cause.”
