SEES NO HOPE FOR NEGROES HERE.
Bishop Turner, of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, dur
ing a meeting of the Board of
the Sunday-school Union, held at
Nashville, Tenn, last week, stated
that there was no hope Of the ne
gro ever attaining the true status
of citizenship in the United States.
The remedy, he said, was to do as
God would have them do, imbibe
the principles of civilization as a
whole and return to Africa, and
build up an enlightened black ma
ton in the land of the negroes
ancestors.
