A NEGRO BISHOP

The Right Rev. Silveria Gomez Pi-
mentar, who died in South America a
few years ago, is said to have been the
first negro bishop in the New World
He was the son of slave parents
Born in extreme poverty. he knew
what it was to be destitute and hun
cry When a child he attended school
half-naked and barefooted, but he was
from the first remarkable for his ap-
plication and good conduct. He was. in
fact, so excellent a school boy that his
case came to the attention of the
archbishop of Balua, who took a liking
to the exceptional young negro and
placed him, after some time, in the
seminary of his See city. Here Pimen-
tar. now young man, pursued his
studies for the priesthood
While still quite young. he was
raised to the episcopal dignity as
auxiliary bishop to the diocese of
Balua. In this office he still won IA
vor, and when, in 1902. the late Pope
Leo XIII restored the diocese of Mari
anna, Amazon, whose population was
two millions, he designated as its pre-
late the negro bishop. This new Of
flee was by no means a sinecure. He
was almost alone and without re-
sources in his vast diocese. Added to
tiiS' IL udu DeeH the scene OF an anti
Catholic propaganda which rendered
the new bishops task particularly diff
ficult
But this son of slave parents. who
had overcome so many obstacles in his
life. was not discouraged by the situa-
ton, no matter how hopeless it seemed.
He bent every effort to the work in
hand-to the building and maintaining
of churches. schools, seminaries.
houses of charity, etc. and gave so
little thought of himself and his own
dignity as a bishop, or even to his own
comfort as man, that he often went
almost as poorly clad, and certainly
with feet as destitute of covering. as
when he attended school years before.
in Balua. But he succeeded, before his
death, in rehabilitating the. diocese.
which he had found in ruins. and in
elevating the tone of its religious and
social life.
The merit Of this negro bishop was
not confined to his own diocese, or to
Brazil, nor did his life or labors pre-
vent him from continuing his studies
in which he showed himself so bril-
liant at school He was man of vast
learning, and had high reputation
among Orientalists for his knowledge
of the Semitic languages.

at busy West End station.

the warning of the conductors, when a

stuck in the doorway.
She had unfortunately got her gil

and hatpin fastened her securely to
the other. Much advice, polite and
otherwise. was given by those who
wished to get on and those who were

But the lady refused the simple sug-
gestion to take her hat off, and 1t was
not till her hat was cleared from the
spike that the way was opened and
the train was permitted to go on.
