SOME CHRISTMAS REFLECTIONS.

If the Negro is a stumbling block
as he undoubtedly is. to the union
Of the Methodist Episcopals, North
and South, the Rev. Ernest Lyon
late United States minister to Lib
eria, now pastor Of a prominent Ne
gro n. T.. church in Baltimore, pro
poses that the Negro withdraw from
the parent organization.
The indications are that the class
to which Rev. Lyon makes his prOpO-
sition must soon accept it volun-
tarily Or it will be forced to do so
The tendency these days is to segre-
gate the Negro in all matters, no1
only secular but religious. This
tendency is not confined to the
South, but has gradually crept north
ward till The strongest palladium5
OF liberty equality ana fraternity OF
al mankind have lowered their col
ors and opened their gates to doe
trines in opposition TO which thous-
lnds blcd and died less than fifty
years ago.
The thought that mankind is re-
pudiating the doctrine Of the father
hood Of God. the brotherhood Of man
is not a pleasing one upon this an
niversary Of the birth OF the Babe
CT Bethlehem. TO see those wno
loudly proclaim allegiance to His
teachings refusing fellowship to fol
low men simply because Of the acct
dent OF color, makes neither for be-
lief IN their sincerity nor the cause
Which they espouse. If the sermon
on the Mount furnishes the rule by
which their fee are guided how
can they refuse to acknowledge
equality with themselves of the
humblest Of His creatures before the
Master, How do they square their
precept of the Golden Rule with
their example?
These are reflections inappropriate
Tor this season of peace on earth,
good will toward men" 1t were
perhaps, more in keeping with the
occasion to ignore popular tendcn-
cles and to look forward hopefully
and prayfully to the fulfillmcnt OF

time somewhere and somehow

moved by the bureau Of animal hus-

had been driven across the line. Mr.,
Monnell said this inspector had de-
clared them infected. which necessl-
tated their quarantine, and before re-
leased from quarantine, they had
thoroughly ruined the range

ty. and relieved him Of pocketbooli
containing $40 in cash. The fourth
man implicated in the affair made his
