Racial unity is for the presen. strong
in our country. But listen to the tramp
of men and women coming from afar.
"They are laboring and creative man
hood, while too many of the old Anglo
| Saxon and Dutch stock are whitening
under the blight of misused prosperity
and success"
| So said Right Rev Charles Henry
Brent, Protestant Episcopal missionary
| bishop of the Philippines. in his address
at the laying of the corner stone Of the
| Bethlehem Chapel Of the Holy Nativity

Plea for Church Unity.
Declaring the time will come when all
| churches will throw aside their small diff
ferences and join in unity of action, as
| we'll, as of purpose, he made a plea for
| church unity. This. he declared. was the
| thought of the late Bishop Satterlee when
he first proposed the Cathedral Of Sts
Peter and Paul.
Bishop Brent also declared that one of
the chief tasks of any church which rec
ognizes obligation to the nation is to aid
in the unification Of the diverse elements
Of the country.
Two duties ring out to the church their
call to arms, he said, Unless religion is
given it's proper place by the prosperous
and the aristocracy Of wealth, America
will decay and new America of import
ed blood will supplant it.
Declaring that any church which is to
have place in the national life Of tomor-
row must busy itself with these incoming
folk of foreign blood, he said:
And never may we forget what is at
once the gravest and richest in possibih-
ties of our prOblems-the problem of the
colored race. Forever it will be the prob
lem of the nation. and not the problem of
| the south. When this fact is properly &C
cepted, its solution will be in sight,
