forded them an opportunity to put
in an amen not recorded in the pray
er book. Thus was established the
African church in 1887. In the same
year Allen was licensed to preach
though he began preaching five years
before.
In 1898 while the yellow fever was
raging in Philadelphia Allen render
ed the afflicted untold service for
which he was publicly thanked by
Governor Clarkson. In 1884 Bishop
Asbury of the NJ. e. church dedicated
Bethel African Methodist church at
the invitation of Allen, who became
its first minister and served this
growing congregation for more than
twenty years.
In 1899 Bishop Asbury ordained
| Reverend Allen as deacon, the first
| Colored person to receive that dis
tinction. But Colored people in New
York, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland were having the same, il
not worse religious troubles, as in
| Pennsylvania. Therefore in 1916
Richard Allen and others called a
convention in Philadelphia to consid-
er these difficulties and to better the
moral and religious condition of the
African free and slave. This assem-
bly, with representatives from the
above states met in April 1916. Allen
became the leading spirit because of
his wise counsel, upright life and
forceful courage. Thus after solemn
prayer and much religious delibera-
tions the African Methodist Episcopal
church was duly established after its
white model and Richard Allen was
! consecrated its first Bishop. Bishop
Richard Allen guided this spiritual
educational and ecclesiastical organ

1881 when he was gathered to his
fathers in Philadelphia.
He was survived by his faithful

DR.. Gideon Brown draws lines over
$4,000 fraternity organized negroes in
Missouri. more than 5000 of them in
Kansas City. and his medical and sur
gical practice at his office, 500 Inde-
pendence avenue has ingratiated him
into the hearts and confidence of 9th
ers beside those of his own race.
The city has made him a surgeon
at the old city hospital. the Kansas
City Railways Company has entrusted
him with their negro cases and he is
second surgeon at private hospital.
The man who accepted that college
country boy as his coachman, recog-
nizing in him energy and a willing
ness to keep clean, was justified in
saying, 81 will help you
Washington saw him for four years
and New York during his summer va
cations, where always there were in
terested men willing to give a boost
to a negro boy studying medicine. But
his home saw him no more until he
came back to Kansas City to practice
and married Miss Edmonia Hubbel. a
songstress.
How he advanced to the influential
place he holds among the negroes OF
Missouri involves recognition of mu-
tual association providing orphan,

Sometime later Rev. Freeborn Gar
rison, a noted Methodist preacher de-
liyered a sermon at Aliens masters
house which so impressed the latter
that he decided to dispose of his
slaves and offered them the privilege
of buying themselves. Allen lost no
time in raising 100000 to purchase
himself and brother. He now in 1880
gave himself up to an arduous study
of the Bible and travelling in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey. Delaware and
Maryland, preached the gospel to his
less fortunate brethren.
In 1884 he was spectator at the
first Methodist General Conference
sitting in Baltimore, Md.
Philadelphia his native city, Allen
made his home in 1856 and attended
st. George NJ. E. church with a num-
Der of other Africans punctually. But
their noisy demonstrations became an
offense to the white communicates
who, considering them a nuisance, de
manded their removal to the gallery
One Sunday morning in 1887 the sex
ton stood at the door and directed
the Africans to the gallery.
While at prayer one of the trus
tees went to Absalom Jones and re-

decided to purchase church of thei
