NO CoLoRED ORPHANS.
Colored Minister Objects to Contribu-
ton to the Orphans, Home.


Rev. Mr.. Price Of the North Topeka
COlOred Presbyterian church AT the
meeting of the ministerial union OBJ
jected to the repetition this year of
the usual custom of dividing the pro-
ceeds of the Thanksgiving day cOllec-
ton among the Orphans Home, In
gleside and Christ hospital
Dr. Embree said; Last year the col
lection taken up at the different
Thanksgiving morning services was
given to me and by the orders Of the
Ministerial union 1 turned 1T over to
Mr. Wilder for the Associated Chart
ties. was called on later by the peo-
pie of the Orphans home and of In
gleside who wanted to know what they
had done that the usual rule OF division
had not been applied. I was unable to
tell them and this year move that the
collection be divided between Ingleside
and the home.
This was where Mr.. Price got in his
objection. Il understand, he said,
that the Orphans Home does not ad-
nit colored children"
Mr.. NIcKirahan: Il have no knowl-
edge that that is or is not the case
Neither had any one else present
Mr. Price; L ask for the reason that
for my part I should have no desire to
aid in any way an institution so pref
udiced."
Mr. Embree: II know that the home
is trying to 40 a great deal Of good
with very little means and while an
INSTITUTION may seem narrow IL - q LelCl
that narrowness is very common
fault"
Rev. Mr.. Wagner: I have some
knowledge of the work the home is do
ing and have great respect for it. 1
shall vote yes upon the motion.
The motion carried and the division
was ordered. Last year the collections
aggregated $50.
