THE EPIsCoPALIANs.
RICHMOND, VA, October B.-In the Pro-
testant Episcopal congress last night Rev.
w. b. Howe, ID. d., bishop of South Caro-
lima in speaking on the subject OF the RE
lati6ns of the Church to the Colored Race"
said the method must be purely missionary
for a century or two. They should not be en-
titled to seats in diocesan bodies, and they
should not be considered as members of the
same body until the two races should be
united as one. The bishop said that gen.
eral sympathy on the part of the whites
and a becoming modesty on the part OF
the blacks would unite the two races. As

for the deaconate and priesthood, he said
the difficulties could be met by recognizing
in common the differences recognized III
nature. He advocated theological depart
snents for colored students in some OF the
institutions near the field of their labors.
Rev. j. Z. G. Smedes, of Raleigh, North
Carolina, in his paper, gave at length stats
tics of the work don among the colored
race by other religious denominations, and
contrasted them with the little work that
the Episcopal church is doing. The con-
traSt is Notifying, and it should stimulate
renewed efforts and better results.
The next paper was by Rev. Henry Dun
lap, of Savannah, who spoke of the rela-
tons between Christians and the colored
race, all of whom prayed to one Father.
The next speaker was Rev. j. s. Tucker,
D. D., of Jackson, Mississippi. He said
that the selection of the topic was evidence
that there is a difference between the rela-
the relation of the church to the white
race. After stating that The negroes were
brought to this country absolute barbarians,
he charged them with innate want OF hon.
esty, Temperance and virtue, and said all
attempts on the part of their masters and
others to instil better principles developed
the vilest hypocrisy.
Rev. J. s.. Haskell, of Virginia, con-
tended that the church stands in her rela-
ton TO the colored race as to every other
race. He advocated separate diocesan
organization for the colored people.
DR.. Hopkins, of Tennessee. compared
prior efforts to bringing the African up to
the standard of the Episcopal church SER
vice to pouring hot mutton gravy into a
cold dish. The negro mistOok emotion for
religion, and after shouting and feeling
warm and good he takes that for piety, and
then does not care how many hen-roosts he
robs.-
Rev. Mr.. Shackleford, of Virginia, also
defended the character OF the negro, and
commended that in the matter of gratitude
and justice, they were often in advance o
the whites, and were generally upright in
their relations in life as far as they had OPP
p~ortunity of learning.right from wrong.
DR.. Lyle, OF Philadelphia, favored mis-
sionary work among the negroes.
Rev. Mr. CO. Tiffany, of New York,
commended that tue Episcopal church was
especially fitted for the colored people.
Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky, thought in
Justice had been done the colored people by
the gentlemen who had preceded him, and
said the negro must be brought into our
man, was willing TO sit with him, be he as
black as ebony, If he is the right sort Of
clergyman or layman.
