citation of the District of Columbia,
which organization has been a mem
Der sof the Worlds Sunday School
Association for ten years or more.
The thirteen colored delegates of tn.
District of Columbia to the Sixth
Worlds Sunday School Convention
were elected by the Colored Sunday
School Association of the District of
Columbia, and are therefore mem
bers of the Worlds Sunday School
Association in precisely the same
manner as the delegates of the white
Sunday School Association of the
District of Columbia.
We wish all the delegates from
Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas
and the islands of the seas to know
that in our hearts we welcome them;
but because of anchristian race pref
udice, which we are sure the dele
gates can neither understand nor ap-
preciate, we cannot show our hospi-
tality and Christian fellowship with
out greatly offending the Local
Committee of white Christians, as it
claims to have had an agreement that
in case the invitation to come to
Washington should be accepted the
colored people of the District of Co
lumbia were to have no part in the
Convention arrangements, the Sun
day School parade, etc. We regret
the manifestation of such prejudice
and are sure it does not honor our
Lord and does not help either the
white or the darker people of the
world.
Va believe that race prejudice,
so prevalent in the American church,
greatly hinders the Outpouring of the
Holy Ghost and retards the coming
of the Kingdom of Christ.
One object of this letter is to wei
come to this city on behalf of the
colored Christians of Washington all
delegates of the Sixth Worlds Sun
day School Convention. We are fel-
low-servants of the same Master, but
we cannot refrain from expressing
our deep sorrow that a body of
brethren who, while wearing the
badge of a Christian, would refuse to
manifest the spirit of Christ TO any
of His children.
We herewith express to the exec
utive Committee of the Worlds
Sunday School Association (under
whose auspices the Convention IS
being heidi our deep satisfaction,
that so far as doth appear, it has at
no time ignored the spirit and teach
ing of Jesus Christ in its efforts to
bring together the races and nations
of the world to further the cause OF
Christ among the peoples OF the
whole earth; and we are panied be-
yond expression that the Local Com

James 81.
IF ye fulfill the royal law accord
ing to the Scriptures, Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do
well; but if ye have respect to per-
sons, ye commit sin, and are con-
vinced of the law as transgressOrS.' .
James 2:8 and 9.
Dear Fellow Christians
The Lord Jesus Christ leaving the
world left to His disciples the COM
mand to preach the gospel to every
creature He also said He came to
seek and save that which was lost =
hence it is the purpose of Christiani-
ty to redeem the whole world.
The object of the Sixth Worlds
/ Sunday School Convention is to car
~ forward Gods work in the spirit
of Christ among all nations. We
know how completely the Lord elm
mated race and national prejudice
from His social practice; no Samari-
! tan was below His notice, no Mag
( dalene beyond His touch. He is the
one Lord and Master of us all. Sub
iect to- our temptations, He was
without error.
, 1t is unfortunate that any one who
bears His name should at this time
when ''the evangelization of the
world in this generation is the
watchword of millions - resort to
such offensive forms of race preju-
dice as the Local Committe of Wash
ington has done in completely (as far
as it is conCerned) eliminating the
colored people from any part in the
Sixth Worlds Sunday School Con
yention and in barring them from the
public parade of Sunday Schools. 1t
is difficult to see how any one can
pray or hope for the the evangelical
ton of the world, when one refuses
to fellowship his neighbor next doc
because of race and color.
1t is our belief that Foreign Mis-
sionaryWork will be greatly hindered
in this generation unless race preJu-
dice in America can be conquered.
AS Christians we have striven to
better ourselves by the practice OF
those virtues handed down to us by
Anglo-Saxon social custom, and by
surrendering ourselves to the Christ
spirit. Considering the numerous
unchristian practices of sc-called
Christians in the name of social ex-
pediency, we think we have done
we'll.
