1t will be seen that Drs. Jones and
Penn are in distinguished company.
However momentous the situation con.
fronting them, the affairs Of the peo-
pie they represent are in capable
hands. No church in which there are
colored people ever recognized the race
in such conspicuous way. but these
men are well worth 1t. and there Is no
question but that they will measure
up to every demand. DIR. Jones is re-
garded as one of the ablest editors In
the church and has been reelected
four Quadrenniums. having been unanI-
mously chosen at the Saratoga Gen
eral Conference.
DR.. Penn was for seventeen years as
sistant general secretary OF the Ep-
worth league and Is now serving his
second term Of four years a. CORE
spending secretary of the Freedman's
Aid society. 1t is safe to say that the
interest Of the Negro in the Methodist
Episcopal church will be carefully
safeguartied by these two distinguish
ed sons Of the race and Of Methodism
