DULUTH
TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

Marks A. M. e. Church of Duluth. In
the last fifteen years, there probably
have been enough money donated to
the colored people of Duluth, to build
four churches either Of which would
be credit TO any people, but not un.
| til the present pastor, Jonathan
Brewer, came to this city three years
ago was there any material difference
manifested in the condition of said
church. Since Rev. Brewer has been
IN Duluth, the old frame building has
been replaced by sand stone base
Inent which is being used for a church
until the superstructure is completed.
The parsonage, which was shell has
been remodeled into a modem build
ing, and there is only a mortgage for
| q few hundred dollars standing
against the property. The members
Of st. Marks A. M. e Church do not
seem to appreciate their present pas
tor, and if his statements from the
pulpit Sunday night are true, it is
only a matter of time when he will
give up the charge. The church Is
hundred dollars behind in his salary.
The majority Of the members either
remain away from church altogether
or 60 to church and contribute dimes
and nickles when they can we'll af-
ford to contribute halves and dollars.
The friends of the church are willing
to follow in the support of the church,
IL the members will take the lead.
