NEW BISHOPS
OF THE A. NJ. E. CHURCH.
Their Qualifications. Able Art
icle by ReY. III. Henderson
0f Nosg york.

Our Bishops should able TO take
their place in as high d walk of life as
possible. They should be seen I'M the
best hotels, on the finest steamers, in
the greatest gatherings, and they
should be made able to do this. They
should be able to visit the poorest
mission and win the undying affection
OF the people by giving them some
thing. They should be made free
from the cares of worldly struggles
and advocations and become the
peers of the greatest men IF the land.
They are the living opponents of the
Negroes idea of himself. For this of
fee representative men should be Sc
lected and then they should be hon
Ored. If they are uncouth and vulgar
If they are ignorant and of low tastes
ness, and 1T is business for US to seek
the respect of the world by letting
them see US through fit representa-
tives. How much to us is a represent
alive worth who does net know how
to conduct himself in polite society,
who, on coming to a community,
seeks as a stopping place, the howell,
who perpetually lodges the refined
and cultured, who denounces inn
proved music, elevating amuseme@ts
for the young, who as back number,
beats the amen corner saint?''
We must have cultured, progressive,
men to represent us.
We do not need Bishops to go around
and lift collections" the stewards
and trustees can do that. Consider
the great adU~lce of our people,
think of our splendid churches and
refined congregations, such as are to
be found insAtlanta and all through
the South, the North the West and
the East. Ihink of the other denomi
nations that are dispnting with us our
place at the front. Study the times
in which we live, and then say,if you
dare, that we do not need to give more
attention to the business Of developing
our church. The diseordant notes
from such misguided men as the Rev.
Mr.. ChappelIe of South Carolina but
show the need of decided action Tt
is such men who have rendered the
Negro odious in that State. Truly
cultured, wide-awake, manly men will
be respected anywhere. Tt is the unfit
of reconstruction days and
the unfit leaders of to-day who are re
sponsible for the contempt that many
feel for US To many, these words
will not be pleasant, to many they
will not seem true, but they are. This
is q plain, straightforward, business
talk.-Ihe Freeman.

reputation.
When at the solicitation Of those in
charge of the parish Of st. Augustine
it was suggested some three years ago
to create and perpetuate this society
for the literary improvement Of the
male members of the congregation,
little did we think, who were asked TO
organize il. that in this year of grace
of 19g5 the members of this Lyceum
should be denounced from the pulpit
Of our parish church as an organized
body for evil purposes. AS members
Of the Catholic Church we regret the

self-1especting individuals, that since
YOU and YOUR assistants gave first TO
the public statement based upon in
formation devoid of truth and enron
eous in the extreme, that in Justice TO
ourselves we must speak to you
through the only channel we have,
which is the public press.
We recognize your authority TO
withdraw YOUR sanction to the exist
ence Of any society, literary or other
wise. in YOUR parish for good and
sufficient reasons, but we claim that
no such cause exists in regard to this
BODY at the present time. Then,
again, the disinterestedness Of our
Spiritual director, Rev. Fathe, Dough
erty, and also your repeated refusal to
assist this struggling organization III
the past. leads us to believe that other
reasons than those indicated herein,
underlie Your opposition to the FUR
ther existence Of this Lyceum. The
blow Is indeed felt very keenly by US
as colored men, especially when we
think of two white C4tholic organlza-
tions fiourishing here in the District Of
Columbia, whose aims, purposes ana
objects are exaetly similar to those Of

ceremony contained in the ritual ot
the "a III II. Zion Church, the twain
was made one.
After the ceremony the guests re-
paired to the dining room, where they
seated themselves around a table fit
for king,
Iii would be next to an impossibility
for one to enter into a detailed de-
scription of what the table contained
ana do 1T Justice, SO we will not at
tempt it here, suffice it to say, how
ever, that the table was spread
decorated with roses and carnations,
and furnished under the direct super
vision of Mr.. Arthur Scott which is
ample evidence Of fact that things
WEE done properly feineInbering on
various occasions the skill displayed
INV him along this particular line In
fact, every tf1ialg. SO far as could be
seen, was in every respect perfect.
Not one detail apparently was left
unlocked after OF unprovided for to
make it what it truly was noble,
enjoyable wedding occasion.
The bride is one of Meyerdale's most
popular young ladies, much thought
of and possessing hosts Of intimate
friends. 10 her, too, SO far as can be
ascertained, belongs the honor Of hav-
