Estimate Of Harry Il. Pace As Leader

By GEORGE FRANCIS KING

By GEORGE FRANCIS KING
Memphis, Tenn.-Strength Of char
acter, intelligence and the power to
bring results for the conservation OF
the races cardinal interest should be
the great requisites Of men who man
axe the affairs OF racial fraternal and
commercial movements When an or
1anization has as its head conserya-
live, energetic, experienced and Chris
tan leader It should give such leader
ship its undivided support
1t is only by such union and hearty
cooperation that the race can ulti-
mately triumph over obstacles which
arise to impede its forward movement
for the good OF humanity irrespective
Of from what source they may come.
Harry II. Pace Of this city is con-
crete example Of the kind Of character
whose most excellent qualities have
been catalogued in the above para
/ graphs. The position Of the Afro
American Elks in this country Is OBJ
viuus to any casual observer, and Its
peculiar exigencies In quite a degree
| are known to have been caused by I'M
| fortunate controversies in the ranks
All Of these things created an urgent
need for a leader like Mr.. Pace, who
has become the seer OF the fraternity
and has given It a new lease on beneh'
| cent existence. The activities OF Mr..
/ Pace as grand exalted ruler are to be
considered as a helpful leaven In the
| life Of thousands Of Afro-Americans-
The character Of a leader Is very
often a sure index Of the desires OF
those whom he leads. Mr.. Pace Is a
man Of sterling worth. His work for
the church is not abridged by his al
fliations with other movements He
Is secretary Of the vestry In En-
manuel Protestant Episcopal church
