Philadelphia, Jul}', 1897. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. Presbyterian I have known the pastor of the Berean Church, the Rev. Matthew Anderson, for a number of years. We were in the Theological Seminary at Princeton together, since which time our friendship has deepened with increasing years. From the inception of his work in Philadelphia I have watched his career with the deepest interest, loo much cannot be said in praise of his self-sacrificing and indefatigable efforts in pushing forward the work to which, in the providence of God, he was called shortly after the completion of his Semi- nary course. What he has accomplished has simply been marvellous. No one knows but those who have been most intimately associated with him, what this work has cost him in care and toil. By day and by night, for years, he went up and down the city of Phila- delphia in search of means to help to pay for the beautiful building in which the congregation now worships. Often, I know, he must have been discouraged, often depressed and cast down, but his faith was in God, and so he kept on in the full assurance that success would ultimately crown his efforts. And success has crowned his efforts. The beautiful structure on South College avenue will ever remain a monument to his faith, and zeal, and earnestness, and a witness to the generosity of the many noble friends who came to his assistance, and who cheered him on by their gifts and kind words. When the last dollar was paid on the building, I remem- ber how I was thrilled by the joyful announcement which came to me, from him, and how my heart rejoiced with him in the glorious consummation. I said then, well done, and I say now, a hundred times over, "Well done." Francis J. Grimke. Washington, D. C, January 10, 1897. 5 Philadelphia, Pa. Having had the privilege of hearing read from manu- script what the Rev. Matthew Anderson, pastor of the Berean Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pa., has written concerning that "work of faith," and having had full knowledge of it, from its inception as a Mission Sunday School, until now, I take great pleasure in commending this sketch of local church history to all who are interested in the advancement of our Redeem- er's Kingdom. It witnesses nobly to the possibilities which lie before Presbyterianism among the so called "peculiar people." Had the Reverend Gloucesters, father and son, found- ers of Presbyterian Churches in this city left similar sketches of their noble work, such records would now be invaluable. J. B. Reeve, For more than thirty years Pastor of Central Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pa. January, 1897. PREFACE. The motives which led to the writing of these pages were not to write a book, but simply a re- port of the Berean Presbyterian Church for the Presby- tery of Philadelphia, and to give a short historical sketch of the enterprise from its inception, together with an Autobiography of the writer for the benefit of the mem- bers and friends of the church. It was thought that as there had never been given to the Presbytery a comprehensive report of the church, that such a report should be given now, especially since the debt on the church proper had been cancelled, to- gether with one-half of the debt on the parsonage, and since the whole property, church and parsonage, has been turned over to the Trustees. It was thought also, that inasmuch as the writer has been most intimately con- nected with the work, almost from the very inception of the mission,, that no one was as well acquainted with its history, development and prospect as he, and hence no one was as well prepared to write its history, there- fore that he should write a brief sketch of the church while the facts, purposes, and plans, are all fresh in his mind for the benefit of the congregation and the friends generally of the enterprise. It was while writing the report for the Presbytery and the historical sketch of the church that the thought was suggested of showing the relation of Presbyterian- ism to the Negro, using the Berean Church as an illus- tration. Hence the title, "Presbyterianism in its re- lation to The Negro." We have always thought, and we believe rightly, that the Presbyterian Church has an important mission 7 8 PREFA CE. to perform among the colored people of the United States. The doctrines held by the church are the best calculated to correct the peculiar faults of the Negro, his legacy from slavery, and thus give him that inde- pendence and decision of character necessary to enable him to act nobly and well his part as a man and a citi- zen of our great republic. Presbyterian Churches and schools should therefore be established not only in the South but in the North as well, which will require in the main the same methods and means to establish and carry them on, as has been employed in the Berean Church. Hence if there is anything in the history of the Berean Church, which will inspire faith and energy among those who are laboring to establish Presbyter- ism among the colored people, as well as to induce those who are able to give of their means towards such work, we will be satisfied, feeling that we have not labored in vain.

"Citizens In The Making": Black Philadelphians, The Republican Party And Urban Reform, 1885-1913 Abstract “Citizens in the Making” broadens the scope of historical treatments of black politics at the end of the nineteenth century by shifting the focus of electoral battles away from the South, where states wrote disfranchisement into their constitutions. Philadelphia offers a municipal-level perspective on the relationship between African Americans, the Republican Party, and political and social reformers, but the implications of this study reach beyond one city to shed light on a nationwide effort to degrade and diminish black citizenship. I argue that black citizenship was constructed as alien and foreign in the urban North in the last decades of the nineteenth century and that this process operated in tension with and undermined the efforts of black Philadelphians to gain traction on their exercise of the franchise. For black Philadelphians at the end of the nineteenth century, the franchise did not seem doomed or secure anywhere in the nation.

It is depicted in armory always with wings close and in pro­ file, with no visable legs or feet. The martlet is the appropriate "differ­ ence" or mark of cadency for the fourth son. It is modernly used to signify, as the bird seldom lights on land, so younger brothers have little land to rest on but the wings of their own endeavor, who, like the swallows, become the travellers in their season.

  • Tell Me a Story; Hell Hath No Fury: a Set of Voice Recitals on the Overlap of Music, Literature, and Classics, and Their Treatme
    Tell Me A Story; Hell Hath No Fury A set of voice recitals on the overlap of Music, Literature, and Classics, and their treatment and depiction of women Senior Project Submitted to The Division of the Arts of Bard College by Alexandra Gilman Annandale-on-Hudson, New York May 2020 1 Artist Statement Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of answering the question, “what is your major?” My reply exists in various degrees of specificity. I am a Music major. I am a Classical Voice major. I am a voice major who is concentrating in Medieval Studies. Layer upon layer is added. The more specific I am, the more niche it all seems to become. Yet, that which I love exists in these niches, the in-between spaces where different areas of academia come together to create something new. Something that I have always appreciated about art, in general, is its fluidity. Art does not try to exist in a vacuum. Music takes its influence from all aspects of the world: nature, literature, mythology, history, even math. I have loved being able to explore these spaces, bringing together the different aspects of my study as opposed to keeping them isolated from one another. There is, in particular, a strong overlap between music, literature, and Classics; three of my most frequent studies at Bard. This became the prompt for my first concert, as well as an overall guiding theme of my repertoire. Tell Me A Story is a program constructed around the ​ ​ tales of my childhood, the ones that inspired me and guided me to the path I am on.
