The broadness of this church Is also
exhibited in having two Afro-Ameri-

grand master of the Free and Accept
ed Masons Of the Jurisdiction of North
Carolina and a man of great strength
Of character and exceptional executive
ability, is the lay member OF this i'm

of the churchs appreciation Of the
worth of this splendid character was
the reelection by the general confer

present office he so creditably fills.
Professor McRary was first elected
at the general conference In 1908 and
has created greater interest in behalf
of the race in the church's educational
activities The appropriations for edu-

increased. and the sentiment created
by the Hon. X. B. McRary means
much in the general advancement OF
the race.
The Importance of the position held
by Professor McRary and the far
reaching effect OF his character are felt
for good in many ways. There are
twentyone schools for the race in the
south carried on under the auspices Of
the Freedmens Aid society-viz, one
theological, three medical, ten collegiate
and seven academic.
