SPLIT.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Bethel African
Methodist Episcopal Church, one of
the nations greatest religious congre-
cations, having membership of near
ly 5000 and a landmark in the prog

been torn asunder.
The break follows close on the heels
of the trouble in New York city, where
the Bethel Church of that community
was split and the doors closed because
Bishop Hurd refused to hear the wish
es of the congregation in the assign
ment of a pastor.
In this instance it is Bishop Coppin,
of the Fourth Episcopal district. A
delegation of officers visited the con-
ference and had an interview with the
bishop, whom, they claim, led them to

ELEMENTS OF STRENGTH.

Among the many wonderful gifts
with which God has endowed MS as a
race are those of n sweet temper and
a forgiving spirit These are gifts not
to be .despised. They are elements of
strength, not weakness. They are,
therefore, to be nourished and culti-
waited. The race, like the individual,
who can keep its head and temper
when things are going wrong and the
blame is placed on it, is the one that
ultimately wins. We are constantly
coming in contact as group with mar
rowness and ignorance and prejudice
which try the soul and invoke resent
ment and bitterness. While 1t is our
bOunden duty as self-respecting men
and women to resent injustice and
stand uncompromisingly for our con-
stitutional and manhood rights, we
must fight against the temptation,
sometimes almost overmasteringly
strong, to become bitter and revenge
full. Let us keep our sunny disposi-
tion, our strong and unwavering, sim
pie, child-like faith in Him who has
never forsaken and never will forsake

ton, NEGROES DIVIDE AMONG

found lodgment in many of the hearts
of those present. After giving a
resume of his attendance at the
Peace Conference, his foreign expert
ence and the particular attention and
kindness shown him from the Ameri-
can white man OVER THERE, he paid
high compliment to the French in
the treatment of their black colonials,
and left us to conclude that there was
something to be gained also from the
French white man. The Colonel closed
