Never in this world was a monument made to memorialize a mere money-getter. —Dr. Behrends: The color-line is only a section, and a very small section at that, of the race-line. It is not in India alone that the existence of caste constitutes one of the most serious obstacles to the progress of the Gospel. —Dr. Rankin: For Southern educational work this Society has put in millions by the side of the United States Government’s millions. The Government has given $5,000,000, this Society has given $5,000,000. Westminster Abbey opened of its own accord to take the dust of David Livingstone. Why? Because he stretched himself on Africa, as the prophet stretched himself on the dead body of the widow’s son. —Rev. A. H. Bradford: Florence Nightingale robbed war of half its terrors. These Women’s Boards of Missions do more than all other means combined to keep alive the missionary spirit. The women of our day have reversed the Apostolic injunction and are reading it, “Help those men.” We need to restore the original reading, “Help those women.” —Rev. Isaac Hall: Speaking of the colored people’s futile efforts to solve the race problem, he said: First we thought we would go to Africa, but we couldn’t get ships enough: then we thought we would go to Kansas, but we couldn’t get cars enough; then, since we couldn’t get away, we decided we would stay; and now what are you going to do about it? —Dr. Wm. Alvin Bartlett stigmatized the California law which forbade a Chinaman to live in an apartment with less than 500 cubic feet of air, and punished him with imprisonment in a cell with less than 200 feet of air.
