At the reception to the fraternal
delegates to the General Conference
from the allied Afro-American chur-
ches Of the south, held Thursday
evening, Rev. r. Kent Harris of
Washington, d. c., had something to
say that ought to make his white
brothers sit up and take notice. Rev.
Harris is fraternal delegate from the
Colored Methodist church of America.
The COlOred Methodist Episcopal
church was formed in 1914 by division
from the Methodist Episcopal church.
1t now has 100000 members, it's own
publishing house and bench Of sever,
bishops. 1t has fifteen educational in
situations all located in the South. All
OF the schools except one have only
Aflo-American instructors. In his ad-
dress Rev. Harris said in part:
The AfrO-American believes in the
Bible. every word of it, from lid to lid,
but his Oldtime enthusiasm over the
church is cooling Off, and III many IN
stances he is growing skeptical. He
sees the members of his race unjustly
treated, lynched and burned at the
stake. He wonders why it is that
Christianity does not seem to be Chris
tian at this point. Can We afford to
shake the confidence of these people?
TO do this would be to endanger not
only their happiness here and hereaf-
ter, but will grow a crop Of scOffors
and sheptcs which may re-enact the
days OF the French revolution, when
the dereliction of the church led to the
euthrOnement Of reason as Cod
