DIR. PARKS SPEAKS.
Following these reports Bishop HendriE
introduced DR.. Hector Park. medical mis-
sionary to the university at Soochow
China.
DIR. Park was appointed to the work
lust nine years ago, at the session OF con-
ference held in Atlanta. over which Bish'
op Hendrix presided. He made a report
of most encouraging advancement alons
all lines of work at the university. He
related an interesting story of the heroic
self-sacrifice of a native professor who
right for the ex-governor to say that tbs
board was out OF harmony with the con-
vention because it did not agre with
him. As a matter of fact, he said. the
negroes did not need evangelizing as
much as did the whites, as there were
more processing Christians among their
in proportion to the population than there
were among the whites, and they haC
twice as many conventions.
One negro out of every three is q
Baptist, he said. When the whites catcI
up with the negroes, and not until then
can they neglect their own work to looA
after them, he declared.
The negro was not being neglected. he
said. and there was no need for a mar
TO become a slave to mere sentiment
DR. Bennett declared that. according to
Ex-Governor Northens ideas the whites
and not the negroes, needed evangelical
ton.
The mobs were made up of white mer
and the lynchings which the ex-governor
and all other good men wanted stopped
were all done by the white men. The
state board. he said, was doing a wise
thing in spending money to save the
whites The discussion was the subject
of much comment among the brethren.
Three thousand dollars was raised t
pay off a debt on the state board.
