The Colorado statesman., 1905-09-23

In the history of the missionary
work of the Colorado Conference
of the A. M. E. church there has
never been an instance to compare
with the work done by the people
at Silverton, Colo. in the year just
closed. Two months before con
ference active work was commence
ed to secure place of worship for
the colored people. To the praise
of the business men and church
people be it said that they respond
ed to the appeal SO generally and
liberally that atmore than $1,000 was
secured. A large nice church was
bought outrightsand. moved to the
lots which had also been bought
and paid for. A stone foundation
was laid under the church wired
and lighted with Electric lights.
This church had been used by the
Catholic people and had seats and
every thing in it ready for service.
Just before conference Rev. San
ders, the pastor had rally and
opening which was well attended
by the white people of the city.
The Pastor of the congregational
church Rev. j. Challen Smith act
ed as master of ceremonies, Mr..
Arthur Ridgway, Sup't of Silver
ton and Northern r. R. presided at
the organ, Mr.. E. P. Grout sang
che solo "Flee as bird" The
Honorable Mayor of the city and
Mr.. A.. A. Lamont delivered adj
dresses. The pastor took occas-
ion to thank the good people of
Silverton for their generosity. The
Chairman conducted the meeting
to the satisfaction of all.
Not only did our small member
ship do this but when appeal was
made for dollar money to take to
conference three persons gave $500
each viz. VIM. Brown, Mrs. Belle
Washington and Mrs. Mary Beatty
others gave till $1,000 were realize
for dollar money.
The Trustees who stood by the
pastor in carrying forward this
work were A. j. Bryant and Sher-
man G. Kift. Mrs Bryant and
Mrs. Sanders we're successful in
helping to raise money by sub
scription.
Conference unanimously passed
the following resolution.
Whereas the people of Silverton
have displayed generosity un-
parallel in giving money to secure
our church place OF worship in
their city and whereas the people
gave more than $1,000 to buy
church, and lot. and
Whereas the citizens are inter-
ested in the welfare of our people
in the above named town. Now
therefore
Resolved, that we the members
of this annual conference do here
by express our thanks and graft

who in any way contributed to the

Atlanta, Ga, September AT
the meeting of the Baptist minis
ters here this week Rev. w. W
Landrum of the First church, who
is widely known for his brave
stand on the Negro question, took
up the matter of the treatment of
Afro-American delegates to the
Baptist World Congress at London
in July.
He referred to the criticism Of
the part the Negro played in the

sense of this conference, that their
generosity is worthy of all praise
and this conference will ever pray
that Gods blessing a hundred fold
may rest upon them.
Following is the address deliverss
ed by the Mayor of Silverton at a
church rally held at that place on
September 3rd:
I am sincerely glad 10 see you
people making this stride forward
in the acquisition of your own
church home and property, and |
believe every business man in Sill
verton feels that it is a good thing.

mean PROCESS and stability, and a
better class of citizens.
| was almost tempted to say
that town could not have too
many churches, but there is such
a thing of getting too much even
of good thing, but 1 will say that
Silyerton has not an stock of
churches, though she may be
somewhat reluctant about support
ing them.
Among the first questions a
stranger will ask about town, is,
sHow many churches have you?''
He may ask this in order to find
out about how much he may be
called upon to contribute from
month2to month, should he decide
to locate there: but upon first
thought one is lead to believe he
is asking about the moral posi-
bilities of the place. l frequently
have enquiries about Silverton,
and among other questions there
is generally one concerning the
church and school privileges.
I doubt if there is any one in
this place, though he never goes
inside the church, would deny the
fact that church has an uplifting,
and enodling influence found in
no other organization.
We all, or rather more or less of
Of us belong to from one to fifteen
lodges: and there are not few
who try to make the lodge their
church, but at some time or rather
they are bound to call upon the
church for some favor. { (Incident)
The church was founded upon the
right kind of principles, and by
Christ who could make no mis-
takes, even though some of the
chcuhes and we are not living up
to those principles.
We may each differ somewhat
as to orr doctrine and manner OF
worship, and Interpretation re-
garding religion, consequently the
different denominations, but we
are all travelling toward the same

When Hon. Charles w. Ander-

Southerners asserted that he owed
the position mostly to his being
an Afro o-American. That he was
appointed strickly on his merits

last report of the Internal Reve-
