THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
AND THE NEGRO.

The action Of the Presbyterian
Church North in deciding 10 have
separate Presbyteries for the white
and colored churches has awakened
a most caustic communication from
Mr.. Archibald II. Grimke 1t ap-
pears in the last issue Of the New
York Age and it speaks out and
spares not. Il now seems that there
is no difference in the principles and
policies of the two branches Of the
Presbyterian Church in this country
Both have decided that the Negro
has a place for himself and that he
must occupy it.
Mr.. Grimke says:
A short while ago the Christian
ity of the INSTRUMENTATION cler-
Ky of Warrington was put TO the test
on this question and proved wanting.
They We're too full of race prejudice
to have Afro-American members OF
the clergy meet with them in con-
ference TO consider the subject of
moral and religious instruction In

same Afro-American ministers re-
presented a third of the school pop
ulation of the capital. During the
past week the Presbyterian Church
has been put TO a similar test in the
Presbytery of Washington, and Il
too, failed to make good. 1t fell
down before this idol of the Nation
American color-prejudice, and
showed in the fall the horns, the
cloven feet, and even the caudal ap-
pendage of its real lord and master
Not even this last and sorry proof
of its obsession could be tucked out
of sight under its long sanctimon-
ious garments of pretence and insin-
certify. Below the longest robe o,
deceitful words and hollow profes-
sicns showed the tail of the serpent
of colorphobia.
This was an indictment enough
but it was equalled il not exceeded
by the rather remarkable position
taken by Rev. DR.. Grimke. pastor
of the Fifteenth st. Presbyterian
Church at Washington while deliv.

Westminster Church of the same CT

NEGRO-LEADERS AND RACIAL
ENTERPRISES.

The Bluff City News Of Memphis.
Tennessee is reading the riot act
20 the colored leaders and business
men in it's vicinity and &c attempts
to Justify it's course in the follow
ing language
The negro leader who refuses to
patrOnize the institutions OF his
own race is not worthy OF a place
at the front This should not be
done on any narrow or prejudiced
ground. The reason why The Blun
City News stands for this doctrine
is because of the attitude Of the
majority of the white institutions.
They do not talk race. but they act.
Whenever q white business institu-
tion' s success Is such that e must

of the best and most honorable and

does not deserve the support of the
race.
There is hardly an Afro-American
journal in the United States that has
not been the victim OF just such
treatment as the BLUM City News
describes. We have found that the
professional men described b. our
contemporary as a rule do not pat
ronize racial enterprises and that
they may be found upon most all oc-
casions endeavoring TO avoid the
support of the very business ven
lures that tend TO build up the finan-
cial side of the race and bring about
respect from our white citizens.
We regard this habit as a racial
weakness, relic OF slavery,
cringing. bending of the supple
hinges of the knee that Individual
ly and personality thrift may follow
fawning." We have known south
ern white men to patronize Negroes
in business, even when Negroes
would not do so until they saw the
white men encouraging a member
of their own race.

let any colored editor or manager
scan his subscription lists and ad-
vertising columns and see how many
