f. The law governing the Min

amended that its provisions will be
made to give some aid TO any members
thereof who may Become disabled for a
certain length of time even though
they are not superanuated, also TO meet

as secretary of the Varick Christian
Endeavor Union and that officer should
have charge of ''The Varick Endeavor"
as Editor. 1t is my opinion that these
matters wisely considered and proper
ly arranged will rebound to the good
of the whole church. If the represen-
tatives of this conference think as l
do concerning these matters We shall
go up to the General Conference to ad-
vocate action thereon.

ment has gained some favor in the
North and is becoming more intense in
the South is cause for serious ref1ec-
tiOn. The recent decision OF the SUI
preme court concerning the case
brought from Alabama, the utterances
of men who once were regarded as
friends of the Negro and advocates of
fair play backed up by the support of
newspapers like the New York Sun
and the Indifferent attitude of other
papers seem to indicate that the future
of the Negro as a citizen and a free
man is any thing but encouraging.
Where We read of Negroes being
terrOriZed, beaten and killed in large
numbers because of the misdOings of
a few, whether those few are protecting
themselves against oppression and in
justice or wilfully violating law, we
are made to think that we are making
progress backwards. This, however, is
the darker side of the question. Thank
God there is a brighter side to this
question. The brighter side shows that
the Negro was never more earnestly
active in making substantial progress
along the lines of higher moral, mental,
material and spiritual development
than he is to-day. The deception and
gro is being shown up in its true light
as never before. The crisis now on
is a crucial one, tbs true but the past
experiences and the outcome of such
experiences convince the thoughtful
and ObServant that the Negro will pass
through this new crisis and be the

The State of the Country as it Affects
The Negro.

Hitherto, it has been the custom to
consider the State Of the country from
the broad standpoint of American citi-
Zens, having an interest in everything
that pertains to the well being of our
common country While | would not
have any man of the race become less
interested in the whole country than
he has been in the past, it seems to me
that the present crisis in the history
of the American Negro makes the con-
dition of the country as it affects the
race the paramount question of the
hour. The disfranchisement amend
ments to the constitutions of several
Southern States, some of which con-
tain the iniquitous grandfather clause,
and all of which were enacted solely to
rob the Negro of his right to vote
seemed to be step in the direction of
unfair treatment to the Negro that
ought to have satisfied the most un-
compromising foe of Negro Suffrage.
But the opposers of the equal rights
and the highes5 development Of the
Negro have not been satisfied at this
bold step toward nullifying the Federal
Constitution and depriving the Negro
of his we'll earned right to enjoy full
citizen privileges. Some have gone
further and asserted that they will not

improvements in this Conference:
Nothing has given me more satisfac-
ton than the good work which several
of our ministers have been doing in
this conference. The cancelling of a
5000 debt at Philadelphia, by Dr. G.
l. Blackwell, the liquidation of a long
standing debt and the purchase of a
rev and better located lot at Media
by Elder L. w. Kyle, the starting of
new churches at Salisburya nd ST.
Michaels, Md, by Elders Tolbert and
Swan, and the good work done by all
of the pastors, with but one exception,
in the Philadelphia district deserve
special n,tice. The remodelling Of
Union Wesley, where our session Is now
being held, by DR.. Rives, and his loyal
members, the sale of old John Wesley
and the purchase of the new John
Wesley, and the wiping out of the debt
of ST 600 by DR.. Bolding and the good
people of that church, the great work
of Dr. S. L. Corrothers and the noble
people who have worked so heartily
with him in bringing Galbraith to a
place of safety and prominence never
before enjoyed; and the splendid re-
ports which will be made by DR.. Snow
