The color line seems to be drawn
in New York as we'll as in the South,
if we are to Judge of the recent action
of the scholars of Brooklyn Sunday
School, who entered a violent protest
against a colored girl being assigned
to class of young ladies, whose
parents are well-known to society.
The teacher said that a Christian
spirit should be shown any one seek
ing the truth, and told the girls that
if they would allow the colored girl
to remain they would not be required
to have anything to do with her
Last Sunday, however, there were
not enough hymn books and one
the girls was required to share hers
with the Objectionable member of the
class. An Indignation meeting was
held after the services, and the teach
er was informed that if the girl was
not assigned to another class its
members would resign. This would
create Juror among the Northern
people should a similar incident have
occurred in this section. However,
it only goes to show that these peo-
pie would take the same stand ifthey
were located in a similar position
as ourselves.
