These topics, etc., show the lines of thought upon which the mind is
working. How different things are now from what they were in 1835,
when Job Davis, the African preacher, toiled by the side of his fellow
slaves all day and dreamed at night of his far off home over the great
sea! Now in the valley where his famous camp-meeting sermon melted the
heart of the white people into a condition of submission to Jesus and
into hope of the coming world--where the black man knew only spade,
plow and hoe--we have the Negro M. D., Negro druggist, Negro dentist,
Negro banker, Negro author, Negro merchant, Negroes worshiping in brick
churches, Negro scientists, and white people using Negro inventions.
Here are Banker B. H. Hudson, Druggist I. B. Kigh, Drs. Goin, Brown,
and U. G. Mason, Inventor Andrew Beard, with orators and educators
many. “What shall the harvest be?”
