bytefian Church
CBy the Associated Prcssl


New YORK, May 19.-Today marked the
beginning of the centennial celebration
% the Presbyterian Home Missions. which
is being held in connection with the Cen
eral Assembly.
Rev. Dr. Samuel A. Martin, president
of Wilson college, Chambersburg, Pa,
chairman of the standing Committee on
Freedmen presented the 9th annual re
port of the Board of Missions for Freed
men.
Rev. DR.. f. p. Cowan. corresponding
secretary and treasurer of the Board for
Freedmen, aid that the Presbyterian
church would have to bestir itself and
share its work among Freedmen if the
day was to be ushered in when the Freed
men could take their stand not only as
political but spiritual equals of the
whites
Rev. John N. McGonigle, of St. Angus
tine Fla, made an appeal for the
Ffeedmers Missions. He commenced by
saying that the negro was not religious
by nature. lie was only emotional and
superstitious. The average colored
preacher in the South, he said, was ig-
norant.
They play upon the emotions of their
people on Sundays" he said "by preach
ing paradise of laZiness as a reward
for the good. and a hell for the wicked
On week days they set examples that
will lead those that follow them to eter-
nal perdition.'
Mr.. McGouigle said the best negro,
ethically, in the South, was the Roman
Catholic or the Presbyterian. He of
fered an amendment to the report of the
standing committee recommending that
the contributions Of the church to the
Frecdmens work be increased fifty per
cent during the coming year
Rev Levi J. Melton, a negro preach
eT Of Charlotte, n. c., next spoke. He
made plea for the work among his race.
The report of the Freedmen's board,
with the Rev. MIR. McConigle's amend
mcnt was accepted and adopted.
The Rev. Or. II. A. Mckinley, of Steu
benvillc Ohio, presented the report Of
the Board of Education, which was
adopted.
At the night session at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Presbyterian church Rev. Clarence
billiard. colored Presbyterian clergyman,
OF Goldsboro, n c., made an impassioned
address in behalf of his race. He said
that in 1919 there were but twenty col
ored men in this country.
Since then" said he eve have been
faithful and obedient under the circum
stances that confronted us We have been
faithful in all your wars and at San Juan
Hill we were among the Rough Riders
and probably saved the life of our be-
loved president in that famous charge.
"Forty-four years ago | was slave,
and tonight I am a Presbyterian minis
ter standing in Fifth Avenue church.
We are eight and one half million strong;
we are strong in numbers and we are
here to stay"
He said in conclusion that the Presby-
terrain church is doing more for the col
ored race than all other combined.
