Draws the Color Line


The East side Dunkard church
got itself into trouble on the color
line question, as there was quite
a number of colored children at
tending their Sunday school, also
members of their church.
The present pastor is Mr.. Sham
berger who, it is said, does not
like the intermingling Of the white
and colored children in the Sun
day school room or any where else.
He concluded to make a division
of the classes in soch a way that
the colored pupils would set by
themselves, with a colored lady
for teacher. The superintendent
demurred at first but finally gave in
to the pastor and the rule was
made that the white children should
sit in one section of the church
and the colored ones in another
place. This has caused some Of
the parents of the colored boys
and girls to kick very forcibIy and
declare that unless the rule are
withdrawn they would leave the
the church and take their families
with them.
