verey Bishops Potter and Doane for advocating
Sunday opening OF the saloons. In discussing the

only industrial education of the negro the sou-
ton of the negro problem, and declared that such
doctrine was "a hell born doctrine"
The meeting held in the Bridge Street Afri-

You don't want TO preach from your pulpits the
doctrine that the negro is to be the recipient of
only industrial education" said the bishop. THE
negro is just susceptible OF high things as any,

In referring to Sunday opening the bishop said:
Another thing that is threatening the nation and
about which you should be greatly concerned is
the desecration of the Lords Day We shoud
speak out on this question and be heard
for have not all gone crazy upon the subject
like bishops Potter and Doane We are the bui.
warks and safeguards OF the republic. We are
religionists and churchmen and as we went for
ward in the rebellion to the country so should
go forward now to save the nation from a
degradation that the desecration Of the Lords Day
will surely bring
