COLOR IN THE CHURCH.

Colfax, Ia.-To the Editor: l wish
to commend your editorial in Satur-
days Register and Leader about the
DR.. Andersen incident, regarding his
invitation to the banquet and the
space devoted to a sketch of his life
and work. 1t Is refreshing to note
that the secular press" has the cour-
age to call attention to the ethical
question involved in such deception,
where religious bodies are more an
xious about large. POPULAR oTganiza-
tions than they are about fair and
honorable treatment and just recogni-
tion of individual merit, regardless CT
race or color. We take this occasion
also to commend the many art cles
that have appeared in your valuable
paper the past year, in a ,pl@a for
fair and just treatment Of the colored
race, politically, by our government;
deploring the decadence, in our poll
tical parties, of the strong convictions
on these questions. that were appar-
ent in their early history. These edi-
torials have the true ring AMI take
us back to the days of Sumner,
Beecher, Phillips, and the gra~d men
of that time. Can assure you that
they have been largely read and com.
mented upon.

Brooklyn Times: Before the gener-
FL assembly of the Presbyterian
church met at Des Moines last Week,
some apprehension was expressed lest
the presence of large delegation
from the south might lead to IA at
tempt to draw the co.or line among
the clergy, in delerenee to s1utnern
prejudlces. 1t is to tne c-edit OF tne
southern delegates that the ony la
stance in which this question sc ms
to have been raised on the line OF ex-
clusion drawn against a neg.o dsle-
gate was at dinner of the aiuhinl 0f
Princeton, who happened to ma
themselves at the meeting of the as
sembly. The Rev. DR.. Mathew An
derson, pastor of the Berean PreSDy-
terian church of Philaae. .phia, was, Il
is stated, refused admission to the
dinner because his color was regarded
as Objectionable by his fellow gradu-
ates. TO make the matter worse, IL
was alleged as the reason for his ex-
clusion that the hotel refused to en-
tertain negroes, statement which is
denied by the management OF the
nOLGl. uu6 IuGoC Ad9CauAOuo >N~S
terians added the cowardly sin or Iy-
ing to their original offense.
If this statement is correct, the gen.
eral assembly owes it to itself and to
the great church which it represen $
to take some decisive action to rapud-
late the offense of its narrow-min1ei
members. 1t has been the fashion to
assume that all the race prejusic ice IN
the country Is concentrted In the
south or among the illiterate and pref
udiced foreign immigrants. l. IS
shocking to find such an il.ustrat on
of illiberalty among body OF Pres
bvterian ministers who boast them
selves as graduates Of such an insti-
tuition as Princeton university. II the
dispatch from Des Moines IS true, II
Is necessary that something should be
done to redeem the credit of American
Presbyterianism. '....

DECORATION DAY.

Wednesday in our state was an
ideal day for parade and decora-
ton. Thousands of the veterans
Of the struggle of the greatest
war of modern times, and thous-
ands of sons and daughters OF
these veterans, with the soldiers
of the late Spanish-American war
war marched our paved streets
and crowded roads to the various
cemeteries to deck the graves OF
their fellow comrads, to drop a
tear and pay tribute to his sleep
ing remains. 1t was a grand
sight to behold. There was
youth, manhood and age repre-
sented in this grand annual mili-
tary pegnant. On either side OF
these parades could be seen thous-
ands upon thousands of people
looking and catching the solemn
but heroic and gallent enthusi-
asm. 1t was day of rejoicing,
yet a day of sorrow. We rejoice
for their noble deeds and what
they done for humanity, yet we
are sorry for the spilling of blood
and loss of so many lives. May
our hearts beat 'tirmer and our
pulse warmer to the i,nperishable
rights that those immortal heroes
granted and may we ever enjoy
and protect them.

THE CASE OF REV. ANDERSON.

It is not at all probable that many
of the Princeton men who banqueted
at the Chamberlain knew that
the Reverend Mr.. Anderson had bee1
requested not to be pres MT on ac-
count of his color. If they had known
there were some who would have re.
sented the insult to one OF their col
lege mates. -,
On the other hand, it will not do to
ignore the fact that the indignation
of the General Assembly over the at.
temrt to draw tie color line at the
banquet will be tempered. There
will be no serious searching inquiry
made to discover who was responsible
for the deception practiced VIII n the
Rev. Anderson was informed that the
proprietor of the hotel had objected
to his presence nor will there be any
resolutions introduced or adopted
con 7emning the act .-s..
There is running throughout the
Presbyterian body sentiment favor
able to race segregation. 1t Is senti'
lnent inspired by lingering race pei
ud'ce, and made active by the accom-,
plished reunion with the Cumberland
Presbyterians a southern b7dy. and
by the possible future reuricn Of the
