Recognition of Negro Mason
Bv White Mason in the South

Uncle Davy" Wells was long a re-
spected resident OF Louisville, KY,
where he engaged in the business OF
expressing" owning a horse and
wagon which he drove. Uncle Davy.'
as he was affeetionately called by all
who knew him, was a kindly old
man, a leader in his church, and
remarkable man for his day. He
probably is the first. IL not the only,
black member of the masonic frater-
nifty to receive recognition as a
brother" from a Southern white
mason. David Wells was born slave
in Virginia at the beginning of the
last century. He learned the trade
of carpentry which he followed sue
cessfuliy. Being industrious and
thrifty he bought his freedom. There
after settling at Philadelphia and ac-
quived a fair education by attending
night school. While resident Of the
Quaker City he was made a mason by
the first Negro lodge that was estab-
lished in the United States. This
lodge was set up by white masons
from Scotland and England, with
proper authority, and received its
charter direct from the mother coun-
try, under whose jurisdiction 1t func-
toned. 1t was the beginning OF Ne
gro Free Masonry in America. Being
studious and possessing a resonant
voice and oratorical ability. he was
in time made master of his lodge.

These floating palaces offered lucra-

To be steward of one of the large
river steamers was a position of i'm
portance and not a little responsible

by boat, there were no railroads.

of the boats between Louisville and

to surrender by Quantrell, the famous
guerrilla chieftain. The boat was
confiscated, or held until ownership
could be determined. The captives
taken before the guerrilla chief were
questioned and commanded to be
shot Quantrell gave no quarter to
his victims or did he ask any for him

Urges Churches to Use
Newspaper 'Ad Space

Washington, d. c., Dec. 5.-The
ad column of the newspaper is the
latest method for religious cam
paigning. In a campaign to "call
people to the church." the commits
sion of Evangelism of the Federal
Council of Churches urged news
paper advertising by churches
throughout the country.
Cooperation by business Offices Of
newspapers to make the advertising
effective has been asked by the
church organization. The advertis-
ing will be placed by churches or
church organizations and will be in
addition to church items printed in
news columns.
DR.. Charles l.. Gatchell, secretary
OF the commission, explained that
since news columns cannot as a rule
carry the straight gospel message"
its place Is in the advertising col
umns. I'm this way" he said. the
church can reach the people who
enter the church."
There are the people. many of
them friendly to the church. but in
different, that we want to reach in
this campaign" he added. This
has never realized the wonderful op-
portunity of the advertising columns.
Too often 1t has been satisfied with
using them for mere announcements
of service though this has its place
and is worth while, the church must
realize its greater task of using ad-
vertising for the sake of salvation"
