DIsHWAsHER TO BISHOP.

The Dearborn Independent prints an
interesting little story in regard to
Bishop Matthew Wesley Clair, who was
elevated to the episcopacy at the Meth
odist general conference held in Des
Moines last May. The story shows how
this talented Negro early in life gave
evidence Of the persistency and per-
spicuity which have been prime fac
tors in his ultimate success. Here is
the story:
"In December, 1882, a black boy, II
years old, was trying to make his way
back to his home and birthplace at
Union, w. Va, from Toledo, o., where
he had been laborer on public works
and in coal mines, but he decided to
spend Christmas in Charleston. The
chief reason that impelled him to stop
at the latter town was because he ran
out Of funds at that point. Instead OF
waiting for position, he took the first
job which presented itself-that Of
dishwasher at the Hale house. On the
princely wage of 80 week he soon was
enabled to proceed on his way. The
boy who found means to make his way
at II years Of age has succeeded in
making his way ever since. On May 90,
1920, he was elected by the recent gen
eral conference at Des Moines, Iowa,
by 500 votes out of total of 1874 votes
cast, bishop Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, the highest honor that
can come to minister Of that faith.

Of 80 many people Of African origin

favor Of the American Negroes, how
ever, much can be said. First, they

in feeling. Second, they have NO Ian
puage but the common English tongue
Of the country. Third, they have many
admirable racial qualities, among which
are loyalty and responsiveness to good
influence. In any case, they belong
here, and they are not seriously handi-
capped, except as all persons are handi-
capped by their own limitations. 1t is
one thing to accept as fellow-citizens
with all goodwill the descendants of
Negroes who were here through no fault
Of their own. 1t is quite different
thing, however, to increase the num-
Der Of Negroes by fresh importations
from non-American communities. It is
of very doubtful advantage to the
American-born Negroes to have more

sitions. Yet we are constantly adding

On Sunday, May 20, 1920, Mathew Wes-
ley Clair, former dishwasher at the Hale
house, was consecrated to that high and
holy Office and he is now performing
the duties of that exalted station. That
black boy who had been so signally
honored was never a wild, reckless lad.
He was born at Union, in Monroe coun-
ty, West Virginia, Oct. 21, 1865. His
parents were loyal Christians and the
very name they gave their son, Mat
thew Wesley, was both biblical and
Methodistic. While lad he readily re-
