: MINISTRY IN RACE.
CHURCHES

! WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. g.
Up. N. .)-President ]. Stanley
Durkee, of Howard University, in an
address before the eighth annual con
vocation of the school of religion,
declared it must be made difficult
for ignorant, idle men, gifted with
mere gab to hold and establish little
church organizations in small, poorly
ventilated rooms.
He pointed out. that among the
definite achievements of the convoca.
ton was the stressing of the import
ance of a program for the develop
men, of an intelligent ministry
among colored people.
DR.. Sterling N. Brown deplored
the sad fact that so few college
trained colored men entered the min
istry. Other speakers brought out
an idea to the effect that the Negro's
spiritual leadership must be placed in
the hands Of an intelligent ministry
before racial progress can be made.
According to figures submitted it was
stated thai there is one clergyman
for every 565 Negroes, while among
the whites there is one for every SIS
of their population.
