The Y. M. G. A. people in many

thus proving that in one respect the

If Afro-Americans think that an or

are colored branches, admits to the
central organization members from al

To become a branch of an organiza

these members of the race, who are

SEPARATE Y. M. c. AS.

There may be some excuse for the
separate Young Mems Christian AS

between the races is distinctly drawn,
but in the North there is no justifica-

The Afro-Americans who are urging
the establishment of separate Y. M.

They should consider the question
from every angle before using their
influence in favor of movement
which will be farreaching in it's eff

in the shape of discriminating and re-
