psAL, SINGERS AND HYMN SING

fEfS. f
a commission. consisting of four
doctors OF divinity and one ruling
elder, has been appointed by the First
Associate Reformed Presbytery to con
slider the question Of merging the
Steele Creek Church with the Prcaby-
terrain Church of The same ne!ghbor-
hood There is some opposition among
the members of the congregation to
such union. The church at present
numbers only nifty members. the
strength of the congregation having
been greatly weakened in recent years
by death and removal. We can under
stand why the members OF this church
should object to the proposed merger.
but the fact that a commission of so
many doctors of divinity has been ap-
pointed to help them out of their en-
barrassment would seem to indicate
that, after all. the differences between
the psalm singers and the hymn sing
ers Is really not so vital as some OF
the older fashioned people have
thought for a good many generations.
Probably the hymn singers would be
willing to compromise on the use OF
not more than one hymn OF human
composition at any stated service, thus
affording the psalm singers the privl-
lege OF Joining in this part of the
public worship.

OUT
Judge John II. Cotteral. OF the United
states District Court at Oklahoma City,
has held that the grandfather clause
of the Oklahoma Constitution is IN vio-
lation of the Fifteenth Amendment 10
the Federal Constitution. and is,
therefore. invalid. In the opinion OF
the Court. tho power to grant the
right to vote was not given to the
Federal Government. but under the
terms OF the Sixteenth Amendment the
right to vote cannot be denied any
person because OF race. color or prev
ious condition Of servitude.' TO make
certain individuals subject to OH edu-
catIonal test dependent on rhoir condi-
ton before 1886 would BIO to make such
test dependent on their race and color.
The grandfather clause" exeunpts from
the educational test those whose an
cestors were entitled to vote on ian
uary 1885, or who were residents Of
a foreign country. Under this clause,
Judse Cotteral holds that the negroes
are denied the right to vote
1t is assumed that the case. as n
matter of safety. Will be taken to the
higher courts for final determination.
III the meantime, it would be we'll for
the Southern advocates of the direct
election of United states Senators to
hold their horses. If the whole ques-
tion Of negro suffrage is TO DO re-
opened. and If there is TO be Federal

let the case stand as 1t Is, where the
Constitution has put II and where 1t
