 work Among Negroes.
 One of the most interesting. forceful and valuable addresses of the council was that delivered Wednesday by the Rt Rev J. B. Cheshire. D. D.. Bishop of North Carolina. He spoke on How far has success been attained in church work among negroes" and among other things said:
 Many a question which seems sim pie when asked becomes. at once dif- ffcuit and perplexing when we under take to answer 1t. In this question are several clements of uncertainty and difficulty. If we had at our com mand complete statistical returns from all the southern dioceses of the work done by the church for the negro population of these states, we would stiIl be at a loss how to measure actual in value the results thus shown.
 The moral and material activities of any great enterprise are most in- expressed by figures. The work of the church in education. in charity. in training for mere secular duties and occupations cannot be fully tabulated and put before you in sums and totals And when we remember that the real work of the church goes below even this dealing with minds and body and is intended to have its real effect upon the deeper aud more permanent but at the same time H. lusive forces and faculties of the

gomery was opened by a business ses- sion held Wednesday morning at St. Johns Church.
 On motion of Bishop Weed of the Diocese of Florida. Bishop Beckwith of the Diocese of Alabama was elected President of the Council.
 The Rev. R. W. Patton. who has for several years been department secre- 8ary of the Council. was reelected to has offioe.
 The Rev. James e. Glass of Annis- ton was elected Council Secretary. and Mir. Dancy of Atlanta, Ga, was elected Treasurer.
 Other matters of routine business were transacted and the Council went into the regular order of the mornings s session for the discussion of the Church's work and attitude with the regard to the negro race.
 i Bishop Bratton of the Diocese of Mis- aissippi was introduced as the best man In the church to handle the diflcult question:: ''The Best Method of Work for Colored People,"
 Tt is impossible" said he, "to unite the church upon any plan of work for the negro race wherever the negro is found In contact with the white man.
 "His is regarded as an inferior race and a dependent people. whatever else men may think about the first propo- sition. 1t s~God above who is to fix his ultimate position in the midst of the earth's races.
 s~The proclamation uttered forty five years ago could never relieve him If his dependence upon the white man, though it effectually relieved him from their ownership. His independ- ence is yet to be attained. and until it is attained. his freedom Is at best a snare.
 "The proposition. however, before us is: How best we may heHp the negro Co attain to the physical. mental and spiritual freedom of son of God7
 ~This must be done by helping him f0 know what he in himself as Gods creature, and what he is in Gods di- wine purpose for him. This at first glance may seem an easy task, but my experience has taught me that it is an exceedingly difDcult task to teach an Ignorant people what the real meaning of 'sonship in Cod is.
 'T'he church should act with wise fconservatism, but to be conservative if is not necessary to be inactive, nor should action in the matter be nasty and consequently unwise. If we be- tieve in the regenerating power of the blessed Lords life we can not be faithless in the possible uplifting of any man that God has made.
 "rhe work among the negroes is that which shall deal with him as a race. which shall seek to develop him along his own racial lines. which shall anticipate is self government and self support, and in the same sense and in the measure as this is anticipated among the white people.
 'The adoption of the proposed canon providing for the establishment of a separate missionary district for the negro would be far from the most ob- tectionable method of dealing with the perplexing question. While the dis finction between the races Is clear, 1t is not distinction within one dio- cesan family. but Is a recognition of Dne racial parent for it's one great spiritual head. whose duty 1t shall be
