The action OF Bishop Potter In
thus receiving colored man into
his house circle on terms OF social
equality and breaking bread with
him at his table. is worthy OF special
lconsideration because OF the fact
that the occurrence took place In the
heart OF the south. where radical
lines are more strictly drawn than In
other sections. and In a house where
such an entertainment could not
have occurred during its occupancy

While the dinner in honor of the
African bishop was quiet. It has been
the occasion OF considerable COM
ment among those who have heard
of It, and will undoubtedly meet with
the condemnation OF the southern
bishops and delegates when IL be-
comes generally known.
The matter is being considered by
the general public as slur upon
the south, the hospitality OF winch
