METHODIST CHURCHES FOR UNIFI-
CATION,
By Bishop H. G. Phillips.

In late issue of the Central Christian
Advocate, DR.. [. Garland Penn said the Col
ored Methodist Episcopal church had 240-
789 members and the colored people in the
Methodist Episcopal church numbered $780,
1888. Let us deal with these figures with
out regard to their accuracy or nonaccuracy.
"Where there are Negro bishops" says Dr.
Penn, the growth is supposed to be great
er, but in this instance the Negro member
ship in the Methodist Episcopal church with
out colored bishops is 98985 members in
excess Of the Colored Methodist church
with their colored bishops''
But DR.. Penn does not state the relative
strength Of these bodies when our church
was organized in 1870.
The fact is, there were always more Negro
members in the Methodist Episcopal church
than in the Colored Methodist Episcopal
church. careful study, however, of the
comparative growth Of these two bodies will
clearly show that the Colored Methodist
Episcopal church has grown far more rap
idly than the colored constituency of the
Methodist Episcopal church. At the close
OF the war and for many years afterwards
we did not have a single church north of
the Mason and Dixon line But the Meth
odlst Episcopal church had a number of
congregations at the North even before the
organic birth Of the Colored Methodist
Episcopal church. So in the running be-
tween these two bodies the one has always
had the advantage of the other
Rev. A. B. Hyde, D. D., Professor of
Greek in the University of Denver at the
time he wrote his excellent book entitled
1.-The Story Of Methodism'' in the chapter
on 'Methodism Among the Freedmen -
speaking of the growth of the Methodist
Episcopal church, uses these words: 'sIn
1884 it had in the South over 100000 COM
munlcants, of whom three-fourths had been
added since the war, and these were about
equally divided between whites and col

about 100000 Negroes in the Methodist

ington, D. c., in 1882, the statistics showed
that we had 125,000 members. According
to these figures, the increase of Negro mem
bers in the Methodist Episcopal church in
the last thirty three years has been 139,7
and 115,9S5 in the Colored Methodist Epis-
copal church, an excess of only 23,985 in
favor Of the colored membership Of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
The Colored Methodist Episcopal church
started out in 1870 with eight Annual Con-
ferences and no schools. Now we have
thirty three Annual Conferences and ten or
twelve institutions of learning. The Meth
odist Episcopal church makes contribu-
ton Of nearly $250,OOO each year for
church building and for the maintenance
of it's twenty Negro schools Dr. Blake is
authority for the statement that prominent
colored leader informed him that there were
only two self-supporting Negro Conferences
in the Methodist Episcopal church. All Of
our Conferences are self-supporting. BY
this [ mean that, whether they be strong
or weak, all the support they receive comes
directly from our own efforts The Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, has never
through any of it's boards made yearly
appropriations to help maintain our
ministry or develop our church extension
or missionary activities. The only yearly
appropriations we receive from this church
are those coming from it's Board of Edu-
cation for Paine College, which it sup
ports, and for two or three others of our
schools. These contributions might aggre-
gate some ten or fifteen thousand dollars
a year.
We have buided our schools and main
tanned them through great sacrifices We

ministry, and extended the limitations Of
our church from Florida to Pennsylvania
and from the Atlantic Coast to New Mex
leo, Arizona, and to the Golden Gate of
California. Despite unfavorable conditions,
lack of means, hostile influences here and
there, our growth has been healthy, perma-
nent, phenomenal.
In view Of our past and present relations
to this church, it is natural for us to
possess some kind of peculiar feeling
should we see our relations changed, and,
if DR.. Blake's plans should prevail, see
the Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal
church become the beneficiaries of the
united church. Speaking of the results
which would accrue to the Negro from the
impact of the two great bodies, Dr. Blake
says: 'Both churches would give the
Negro sympathy and support that he
has never had. Six million white folks
would put themselves behind his enter
prises. There would be an outpouring of
money for his schools, his churches and
his ministry such he has never known.
new day would dawn in racial co-opera-
ton, and it would be the brightest and best
day that the Negro has known since his
birth of freedom
Would the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, subscribe to a plan like that? Would
she repudiate the Negro, who has claims
upon her that are maternal and inherent,
the Negro for whom she has done so little,
and become a party to do. great things for
the Negro who has no claims upon her in
comparison with the one from whom she
will sever relations?

YANKEE KILLS SELF

Picks Up Bomb in 0ugout, Makes

Somewhere In France there are four
American soldiers who owe their lives
to the courage and sacrifice of COM
paniOn. who deliberately killed himself
in order that they might live. The
story of the soldiers bravery has been
brought back to America by an ord
nance officer who had been at the
front.
The soldier had been on duty at an
outpost Strengthening the pins in hand
grenades. After being relieved he re-
turned to his dugout. where three Of
his pals were sleeping. The fourth lay
awake on bunk. The returning SOL
der had scarcely entered the dugout
when bomb fell out of his coat
pocket, and, as 1t fell, the Strengthened
safety pin slipped out. The soldier
realized that within five seconds an ex-
plosion would probably kill every man
in the dugOut.
He had time to get through the door
and leave his companions to their
death. Just what passed through the
soldiers mind In the next two or three
seconds no man can ever tell. He
reached decision quickly. The brave
soldier picked up the grenade, crept
into corner of the dugout, made a
barrier out of his body and was In
stantly killed when the bomb exploded.
His pals escaped injury.
