denominations. * This was even more
intense and rancorous than that of
the Southern white people, and in
some localities the feeling exists even
now with more or less intensity.
Bishop Hurst once said to us just
before announcing the conference appointments,
"I shall not call you heroes,
but you are heroes."
Fourth. The very seldom visits of
our bishops?not to mention the fact
that not a single one of them for a
score of fyears to live and move among
us. This has caused us much sorrow
and regret, and has seriously embar

The sight of one of our bishops

or even preaching in our churches is
an unusual thing. The demand upon

Sixthly. The failure of the church
to elect a colored bishop or general
I superintendent. Practlcajly one tenth
i of the entire membership of the
church consists of her colored mem
!bers. Long ago Tilloston said "Christianity
secures both the private intrests
of our men and the public
j peace, enforcing all justice and equI
ity." I appeal to the great church,
and ask in all candor, is it not time
i to give us equitable representation
I 011 the Board of Bishops? Can there
I not be found, after nealy a half cenItury
of training and service, at least
two men sufficiently equipped to try
i the experiment with? This need
appears to be imperative. Social and
radical conditions in the South must
:be reckoned with and regarded. Until
we shall have a general conference
composed of men a two thirds major!
ity of whom shall vote for a colored
man for the episcopacy we need not
look for any material increase in our j
colored membership.
' Until we have some bishop in our j
[church of commanding influence with
j convictions on this question and the
' courage to express them, and some
{ one or more of the editors of our
church papers of outstanding influence
to endorse his utterences the!
outlook does not appear to be favor- I
able.
My seventh and l?.st reason in one '
that I believe applies to all sections
of our country?the feverish cry for
"money, money, money!" and the,1
methods employed by many of us to 1

aise it. It appears that what we call
romotlon comes oft times not because
?f the character, qualifautions, or
treaching ability of a minister; nor
f the successful management of his
ocal church affairs, the number of
lonversions of accession at his c:?urch
ir the spread of the Redeemer's
Kingdom, but the amount of money

>ve uu not nna time at our annual
conferences for even a sentence or
two from our pastors submitting their
reports, as to conversions or accessions
or the spiritual condition of
heir respective changes.
My financial record w^l prevent
those who know it, frtom criitising
me adversely for the foregoing utterances.
I believe I am speaking the
truth whpn I assert that we are
losing spiritual power. Do not let
our contributions be less. Nay, rather
Increase them; but do not lose spiritual
power.
Having written thus, what are m>
conclusions as to our colored membership?
Let us never for a moment harboi
the thought or entertain the suggestion,
whether from within or without
the church, of individually or collectively
withdrawing from the church

slights to which in some instances
they were subjected, and went ou
and formed the two Negro Mothodis
denominations. They have accomp
lished some things for the race am
that brought recognition of Negri
manhood and Negro Ecclesiastics tha
we did not and could nor.
They have given the Negro standing

conference anil other ecclesiastica
bodies that our church has not ye

they do not feci that it ii

to us, we shall have no contention
about it. We wish to remind then
however that we are not in tlie Metbo

togral part of rlie Methodist Episeopa
church; the church of Clack Harry

gospel, reviyling in, eloquence am

Today some in the church, witl
proper spirit, and others with a spiri
far from Christlike, are pleading fo
reunion with the churches south, bu
the terms required by some wh
claim to speak for that church excit
on the i>art of the self respectini
membership of our great church, ;
feeling of mingled sorrow and in
dignation. The public criticsm of th
supposed acts of one or more of th
members of our committee on Federa
tion by some of our colored nfiniste :
is to be deplored. 1 may be ignoran
of the wish or feeling of a majorit;
of the membership of our great chiircl
U,ut 1 am not ignorant of the spirit o
.he Christ, whose church we clairi
to be; and "in Jesus Chricx there i:
neither Greek nor Jew. circumcisioT
nor uncircumcision, hound nor free fru
Christ is all and in all."
To me it is unthinkable that an:
member of this committee would hav<
the temerity to insult any class 01
nationality or race among the membership
of our church l?y recommending
or even suggesting or inlimiting
that they withdraw from tht
church, to satisfy the wish or appease

sink him so far beneath the wave o:
iblivion that not a bubble would rise
to indicate the spot where he went
lown.
Our task in the church is a trementlous
one. The Negro has been the

church; but he has been he*

from the church.
Africa has not yet been redeemed.
Her redemption must come mainly
through us. Without this great

shall be well nigh helpless in the undertaking.

It would rejoice my heart to see

ern white ministers. At one of my ap,
pointmentB it was no unusual thing
for five years to have a Southern
white minister preach to my people,
, apparently to our mutual delight. In
spite of slavery the Southern Negro
owes the Southern Christian white
. people a lasting debt of gratitude. As
. a compensation for slavery they gave
