century ago at the centennial of the Airwfws copal Church litflljklr on Sun day WM Drurv Spoke udl Mignobic part slavery had 6mm in the history of mankind and in particular the shameful period of exploitation of the Negro people in the southern states of the United States Hi condemned the racial prejud ice still alive in the world at the present time expressing hope that this phase would pass as slavery itself and that the Negro nation would come into it own along with the other national groups of tile world Slavery the dominion of one man or class or nation over anoth er takes many forms all of them bad stated Mr Drury Its worst form however is probably chattel slavery It was this chattel slavery be ginning with the slavery of the Roman prisoners Of war and end ing with the dominance of the white race over the Negro race that Mr Drury condemned most stronglydn his speech He attack ed along with it its companion and predecessor racial prejudice Mr Drury stated at the outset of his talk that he purposely used the word Negro instead of the more euphemious word colored people There is no reason why the word Negro should be less honorable than the word Celtic or AngloSaxon or Latln or Slavic believe the time will come when carved by the accom plishments of those who bear it the name will have high honorin North America and throughout the world May God hasten the com ing of that time Mr Drury turnedAto the topic of slavery as the roots of the mat ter that had brought the people to the centenary ori Sunday We are met here to do belated honor to the brave men and women of the Negro racewho came here into this Northern wilderness more than century ago and who 100 yearsago this year built this lit tle church to the honor of God They loved freedom They were willing to give up their secur ity for freedomto come into strange country into the wilder ness to rigorous climate so un congenial to their inherited racial characteristics those who were slaves to risk the terrible dangers involved in escape claim to honorand it is great and valid claim Mr Drury traced slavery through from the Roman era to its disap pearance in the Dark Ages of Christianity and its reappearance with Columbus discovery of AmI erica in 1492 which broke down the barriergof fedr that had held navigators close to familiar shinesl White laborwas not available and the exploiters of newly

defend his liberty Canada at the first mccting of its legislature in 1797 followed the example of the Mother Country At the time of the Declaration of Independence in the United States slavery was also dying but it was revived by the invention of the spinningjenny and the cotton gin which made the cotton so easy and so profitable Cotton became king and the aristo Cratic southern land Owners turn eld cotton planters Negro slavery became the answer to the labor problm for them and the dying lsystcm was galvanized into new and more evil form oflife With the African supply cut off by the British Navy patrolling the Atlantic slave traders began to range through the northern non cotton growing states buying up slaves for export to the south It was at this time that the un derground railway was secretly organized stretching from the borders of the slave states to the Canadian border It received Ves caping slaves concealed them passed them on from member to member and so to Canada and freedom Its members took great risks but the fugitive slave took much greater Mr Drury recalled that on one occasion captured fugitive was burned at thestake over slow re by mob in daylight his mas ter looking on and consenting and the authorities doing nothing to prevent it It was at this point in his talk that Mr Drury considered the his tory of the Oro settlement of fugilt tive slaves which began in 1830 In 1820 when the township was rst surveyed it was apparently the intention of the government to de vote it all except the rst con eession which was already settled to theipurposes of Negrosettle merit The name Oro is of Span ish origin rst transplanted to Africa7the Rio del Oro on the West coastand from there trans planted here Nothing was done however about the settlement untilj 1830 when Col OBrien was appointed commissioner tolook after it It seems probable that in the begin ning it was thought thata much greater number would come thanl actually came Comparatively
