cludes about eighty ministers from
Missouri Indiana and Illinois. This de
nomination is distinct from the A NJ Z
Church, and has total membership in
the United States of 400, 600 The prin
clpal features Of to-day's session was the
reading of the address of Bishop Alex
snder Walters, D. D., president Of the
conference. That part of the address
exciting deepest interest was a refer
ence to the lynchiug of negroes. The
bishop said:
THE lynching of negroes for trifing
offenses, and in many cases innocent
negroes, is increasing to an alarming
extent. Something has got to be DONE
The time has come when every minister,
white and black, should lift his voice
against these outrages and barbsrities
The blood of these innocent creatures
call aloud for vengeance. It is your
place, by earnest and courageous agita
tion, to help answer their calls Let us
arouse public sentiment in our favor by
telling of these heinous crimes until the
Ia Of raa 70

Thirteen negroes, the most of them
innocent, were murdered last week 1t

We cannot be silent. but must CRY aloud.

ished from our land
DR.. J. p Thompson, Of st Louis, said he
knew he was regarded as something Of
An Anarchist. but he felt that there was
too much praying The righting Of the
wrongs Of the negro could only come
through the shedding of blood, as the
negro had been freed only by bloodshed
The negro who wasn't willing TO shed his
blood for his wife and children wasn't ft
TO live. Tre negroes ought 70 do some
thing for themselves. Praying without
doing anything was, he thought, an Of
Tense to God He spoke with passionate
Indignation IF the Jim Grow" cars the
negroes were compelled to ride in in the
South, and favored burning the roads
using such cars.
