enemies among white people and many
friends but those friends that he HAD
were bound to him as with hoops OF

He was popular among southern
white people and few coloreo
men of the Southland were so well
known as he appeared to be. He was a
powerful, persuasive orator and ne al

his plans worked out to a nicely, BE-

later years, he Joined the Baptist
Church and basked in the sunshine OF
the Lord"
1t is needless to say that his place
cannot be filled. He has not trained a
living soul to take his place. What he
learned came from rugged experience,
hard times and scanty living. His
white friends were devoted to him and
they stood by him in the midst OF all
adversely. He made enemies at times
and he fought them with all the power
that God had given him. He possessed
remarkable vitality to the end. Some

A QUESTION OF COLOR.

Bishop George Alexander MCGUIRE,
former Rector of St. Philips P, E.
Church of this city, but now Bishop
and founder of the African Orthodox
Church has attracted much attention
by declaring that God and Christ are
black. This is no new theory. The late
Col. joseph T. Wilson, autho of the
Black Phalanx took this view of the sit
uation. Bishop Mcclure explains the sit
uation in a most reasonable manner
when he says:
cot course "God is not a Negro. A
spirit is nothing physical. But in ones
prayers one must vision some one to
listen, and we can think only of some
one in human form. had had the pic
ture in my wind of white God. Nov
came the picture of black God. On
when I say my prayers I would rather
say them to great patriarchia! Negro
than to white man!
"And Jesus the. God. is not black
nor is His mother the Spirit. But whaI
picture them. too I want to pictur
them as black-together with me II
