Louisville. KY, Jan 31.-Much in
terest is attached to the meeting of
delegates of the Methodist Episcopal
church South. on the subject of or
gania union. 1t is expected that some
sessions are being held in the same
church where the split occurred in
1Sit, over the slavery question. The

Ney York, N Y. Jan S1.-"By Ne
groes and for Negroes" is the slogan
of the new depository Of the Board
of Publication and Sabbath School
the United States. which will open
in Atlanta, Ga. February 1. This
depository headed by Negro and
having all Negro assistants win be
one of the first of the kind in the
South. For the upinitiated may be
explained that a depository CORES
ponds to a branch book agency in
handling the publications of the
presbyterian IOdIu VI
and Sabbath School Work and also
the-many church appliances for which
there is constant demand. But the
sum is to make the Atlanta deposit
tory different from any of those
now existing by making it's chief
purpose not only to help cultivate
business relations with the Colored
constituency OF the Presbyterian
Church, but also to become vital
center of missionary activity for the
Negroes in the church and out.
The new depository and Negro
Missionary work center will open at
200 Auburn Avenue. with the Rev.
A. b. Mccoy, d. D., in charge. and
acting las manager. At present DR..
Mccoy is Negro District Superinten-
dent for the Southern section of the
Board of Publication and Sabbath
School Work OF the Presbyterian
Church in the United States. and
probably for the time will continue
in that capacity, discharging his new
duties as well.
