Staff Correspondence 49,. .
I Washington, D. C.}dMay 24.-In two
conversations Of leading religious de-
nominations governed by white Off
Gals, the race problem has come Zip
for foremost place in the discus
sions. Bishops and 81 churchmen of
high degree have 1lahorcd long and
worried greatly oyer Ihe delicate sit
fuation involved in trying TO reconcile
peculiar social conditions with the
Scriptural injunction;l "Love We one
another" and to square the policy of
racial prescription with the religion
that teaches the Brotherhood OF God
and the Brotherhood Of Man. ,Amid
many gltttering generalties, much
Verbiage, and eVastQnsbf the main Isl
sue, the convocatiOns feferred to came
out strongly Tor some andefnite meas
ures that, would ,tepdt0 uplift the COLI
ored brother, sbutfFthat the uplifting
must be done as a separate feature Of
the church work Of tho Caucasian. The
Moro must be helped, for the good
OF - IF and the nation, but he must
be hellr,I to make a tdistinct place for
himself in the equation of religious eff
fort and churchly, achievement Bishop
Henry Y. Satterlee, of the Episcopah
Diocese of Washingt9R, in the dioces.,
an convention lAsth3&eek. dealt at
length with the race problem, and,
laid bare the distressing facts, but
suggested no method by which the
intricate' questions inYplved might BE
settled. On the impoTtant subject Of
Negro Bishops, missionary or "sufffa-
gan, he took no positive stand, point
ing out that there was much to, be
said for and against5Sall sides Of the
proposition, and cone aided by 7 ring
that the race issue was perhaps the
most perplexingI questio Ia the whole
realm"of churchaMoPS and recomm end
ed it strongly to the deep and prayer
full consideration not only of thel do
cese Of Washington, but Of the entire
church. Bishop Satteriee recognizes
the gravity" of. the situation, but
leaves the matter wide open for the
action of the genera! convention.
