CoLORED SUNDAY SCHOOL
SCHOLARS

Washington.-~Only one Negro
child in ten ever enters a Sunday
School. according to an article which
appeared in recent issue 81 the Pres
byterian Of the South" the official or
gan Of that denomination. This state
ment, which has occasioned consider
able comment in religious circles, does
not harmonic with the church sta
tistics showing the number Of colored
Sunday School scholars reported BY
the leading denominations.
Some years ago an aggregate OF ap-
proximately 2,l54,OOO colored scholars
were reported By Negro church organ
izations, and as the number OF colored
persons : TO 10 years Of age is less
than 100000 there appears to be a
pronounced discrepancy between the
Presbyterian figures and those fur
nished the government BY the officials
q oolored religious bodies.
Il IS further claimed by those who
are familiar with church affairs that
there has been an increase rather than
. decrease during recent years in the
number Of colored children who regu-
iarly attend Sunday School IF it Is
tue, as stated, that only one IN ten
ever enters Sunday School. the situa-
ton is rather alarming from the stand
point Of future church membership, It
being generally understood that Sun
day Schools are feeders for the church.
