Perhaps nothing has done more with.
in recent years to impress the Method
list Episcopal church with the fmpor-
lance of giving larger opportunity and
freedom to its Afro-American member
ship than the character and ability OF
the delegates who represented the
race In the recent general conference.
They were men Of intelligence and
achievement. who have wrought well
for the advancement Of the cause.
When one reflects upon the fact that
1926, 900 colored Americans in the Unit,
ed States are members Of this denomi'
nation no surprise should be expressed
over their desire for official recogni'
ton. They maintain twenty confer
ences In various sections Of the coun'
try and hold church property valued
at $4,000. 900 and conduct twenty-three
educational institutions.
Eight Of the twenty-three schools
are presided over by members OF the
race as presidents. and In some Of them
the entire faculty is composed Of well
equipped young men and women OF
the race who are graduates from some
Of the leading institutions Of learning
in this country.
There are nine colored men doing
general work who receive an average
salary Of s2.233. The highest salary
paid is that Of $4,000 to the secretary
of the Freedmen's Aid society. This
position was held for sixteen years by
DR.. NJ, C. b. Mason Of Cincinnati. who
rendered high and distinguished serv'
ice In this capacity.
The people In New Orleans were par.
ticularly interested In the recent gen
eral conference bcause one Of their cit.

Norfolk, va.-The great benefactors
of the Afro-American people have
come from the obscure ranks. Every
movement for civil. intellectual and
religious freedom has caused toll
on the brain and enacted sacrifice and
endurance on the part Of those who
encourage and foster such movements
In their incipiency.
Among the Afro American people
there are concrete evidences that some
of the strongest Of their number are
doing real service. An example OF
those characters who have made It
possibie for our people to enjoy GER

REPRODUCE LIFE PHENOMENA.
French Savants Discover That Gases
React in Ultra Violet Rays.

Special CAbegram to The Star.
PARIS. July 6-The problem of the
creation of life seems now to be emerg-
ing from the theoretical stage. Accord
ing to a communication read before the
Academy of Sciences this week two
French savants have succeeded in re-
producing for the first time without the
presence of any living matter the essen
tial phenomena of life of the vegetable
world.
These phenomena are stated to be the
reaction and assimilation of gas in air,
under the influence of light.
This transformation, when attempted
by purely chemical means and without
vegetable ferments, had been found inn
possible by ordinary light. The authors
of the communication, however, discover
ed that the reproduction of vegetable
growth can be attained under the ultra
violet rays. 1t is announced that the
activity of these rays is SO great that
the chemical substances employed in the
experiments, when immerSed in air
charged with carbonic acid gas. behaved
in exactly the same way as actual living
plants.
