This preparation for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent

separation, if the northern branch would un-
tremendously break off further consideration
of the two uniting. In but rare instances
does the spirit Of true Christianity form a
part of the religion of the southern Method
list and if that be true, and is hardly doubt
ed, they should continue to go it alone The
colored Methodist is no longer a sycophant,
is no longer a little child to be lead by the
hand He is able to hold his own whether
in a white or a colored audience. The col
ored preacher is able to measure arms with
the white preacher and if he is not, it was
a mistake to have ordained him. Then under
such circumstances he is thoroughly quail
fed to meet any church emergency.
In conclusion we repeat that segregation
should mean absolute separation

TWO COLORED BISHOPS

In the general conference now in session
the Methodist Episcopal Church (North)
has voted to elect two colored bishops, and
many candidates are seeking the places.
Who will or should be elected the editor
hereof is without opinion, but we believe
none other but apparently worthy men will
be elected, as, in the past, this church has
acted wisely in it's selection of conscientious
and capable men for it's officers, bishops and
preachers, hence that part of it gives us but
little or no concern.
For more than a quarter of century the
colored members Of the NJ. e. Church have
clamored for colored bishop and even
many Of the white members have agitated
the subject, but both the white and col
ored members have differed as to what
would be done with them if one should
be elected Some years ago colored
sem-bishop was elected to serve in Afri-
ca, but without official jurisdiction in this
cJun,ry. He however, did and a white
bishop succeeded him.
The Methodist Episcopal Church (North)
and the Methodist Episcopal Church (South)
have for the past eight years been trying
to get together and would have done so long
ere this had they have been able to harmon
ize their differences as to what to do with
the 100000 colored members belonging to
the northern branch From some source we
recently learned that an amicable plan, so
far as the white Methodists are concerned,
had been worked out, which disposed of the
colored MEMBERS If the colored man in the
M. d. Church is to be jimcrowed and the
proposed colored bishops to only preside over
conferences made up of colored preachers
and lay delegates, and like the African
bishop, without jurisdiction only at colored
conferences, then the colored members of the
church should not accept such a form of
bishopric If the colored bishops to be are
so limited in power then it's all been done
to appease the Methodists of the South, who
have steadfastly stood out against the re-
union as long as the colored brethren had
equal suffrage rights in the General Con-
ference.
Segregation for the colored members should
mean absolute separation. The colored
brethren rather than accept segregation
should either form an independent organiza-
ton or go over bag and baggage to the
about-to-be united Methodist Episcopal
churches Of this country among the colored
citizens, who already have full compliment
of colored bishops and officials. We, however,
hope such separation will not be neces-
sary We hope that the two coored bishops
to be will stand on an equal footing with
the white bishops, and will be just as ac-
ceptable to conferences, where the preachers
and delegates are white, as were they all
coord. On the other hand, we do not be-
Eeve this to be possible if the two branches
of Methodism in question North and South)
are united. 1t seems to us that it will save
a lot Of pickering and probably second
