The disposition to start new churches
and new denominations among the col
ored people Of Memphis should be dis.

churches are not able to commend tn
services of persons alb elto teach ant
elevate them, hence they are kept ava.

ligion will be more effective when it 1
made more practical and less burdenet
with cumbersome organizations.
