conference Notes.

Rev. James G. Martin conducted the de-
votional services this morning at the open
ing Of the Baltimore conference of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Bishop Gaines presided. and Bishops

Rev. w. Bowser stated that after the
death Of Bishop Alexander Wayman the
ministers of the Baltimore conference had
organized an association for the purpose
Of erecting a monument in honor of Bishop

life in the active work of the church. The
Organization was offcered by Ri. Rev Wes-
ley J. Gaines, president; Rev. l. S. Lee,
vice president, Rev. }. w. Beckett, Secre-
tary and treasurer He was of the opinion
that the ministers should contribute liber-
ally for the cause.
Bishop Gaines made a short address, and
he was followed by Bishop Grant, who
spoke on the Importance of the church
paying some attention to those who had
given their life in its service and told how
the Wesleyan Church honored John Wes-
ley, its founder. He also spoke of his
visit to Westminster Abbey, and said the
first thing that attracted his attention was
a large statue of John Wesley Then upon
going TO his grave, he saw another token
of respect and esteem, in a large monu-
ment.
Bishop Grant.
Bishop Grant said he thought that the
example should be followed by the MEM
bers Of the A NJ. L. Church, who he said,
were the follow ers of Wesley. I'VE are to-
day." he said. ZIP years from where we
started, 81 of which have been spent as
freedmen. We must do something. We
are in this great church that knows no
color line, has no separate congrega ton, no
separate altar, no separate communion
table no separate Epafsonages, but the
church that recognizes that out of one
blood God created all men, the church that
knows no man by race color"
Bishop Grant further thought that the
memories of the fathers of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church should be
made perpetual. and said that it was his
intention to do his duty for all heroes VINO
had fallen at their post of duty He paid
tribute to Bishops Ward and Wayman.

life in the service of the church. He said
that 1t was the intention of the Florida
conferences to erect monument in honor
of Bishop Ward, who was the presiding
death. He had. he said, told the ministers
Of the conference that a monument should
be erected and il they, failed to do their
duty, he would pay for It himself.
He further said that the church was do
ing much good for the elevation of the race,
and large number Of the men Of the race,
like c. II. J. Taylor. owed their success to
the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Religious Prejudice.

The example of the A. p. A. ia this
country has been pernicious in the ex.
IRENE. In its crusade ON one Of the es-
tablished religions Of the world, it has
made vicious dig at the very founda-
tion of this free government. 1t seems
that the unjust and unchristian war
| made on the Catholics has inspired
others to make war on other beliefs.
Frank Leslie's Weekly published an
article written by one Ahlwardt in
which he sounds the slogan against
the Jews because he says that they
own everything.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Ma
con, Ca, News in discussing this re-
lig!ous intolerance well says:
1T is astonishing how mon will act
upon their prejudices and allow relig-
ious differences to become matters Of
hatred. Mem who do this are necess-
arily selfish and necessarily mean and
cowardly. The News has no patience
with any form of religious proscrip-
tion. We feel a thorough contempt
for the creature who is SO intensely
narrow that he can not concede to jew
or GENTLE the right to worship God
according TO their own ideas. We do
not believe that the soul of such big
OF is fit for h,aven and w even doubt
if it is for hell.
True Americanism has already
crushed out that counterfeit A merican-,
ism which was but the mask of relig-
ious bigotry and cewardly spleen. The
same species of serpent has reappearcd
in another qusrter, this time to arouse
intolerance against our jew friends.
The movement will meet with the
same fate as the former But its in
stigators will never meet their Just fate
until in that awful day of reckoning
the Great Jehovah says TO them ''de-
part from me ye Pharisees and hypo-
.rits: az We have prosecuted Others SC
will punish you"
Wnen the time comes in this coun.
Try when Jew and Gentle, Methodist
and Baptist or any other denomination
ire denied the right to worship &C.
,ording u the dictates of their own
then indeed will the sem
olance Of fres institutions crum ble be-
lsath the grasp of tyrants, and the
and which has bsen sym bolical Of lib
,riy will be the abiding place of drs-
pots, and the habitat OF tyrants. Let
u hope that In this great land the jew
Ind Gentle will ever be allowed to
according to their consciences.
