With his head bowed and accom-

his campaign manager, Fred Morris
to take charge. AT that time there
were still six precincts missing.
I'm still a good loser" he said.

along with a Democratic landslide
DePriest blamed political leaders of

dom came.
After the war the M. E. Church
South called in the leadership of
the Negroes who had accepted
Christianity under their tutelage
and said, "Organize a denomination
of your own. Elect your own
bishops and general officers. We
will see you through" After that
the Colored M. E. Church was Or
ganized. At that time the M. E.
Church said to the Negroes at
tached to their group, "Stay with
US. We will nuture you until you
are strong"
Now rehearse the story and get
the picture: African M. Els, Zion
African M. Els, Colored M. E.'s,
and the Negro M. E.'s in the M. E.
Church. Time has gone on.
Schools and colleges have been
built. Leadership has been trained.
Well prepared preachers, presiding
elders, general officers and bishops
have been produced. The Negroes
in the M. E. . Church are as fine
proof as exists Of Negro ability.
1t is a part of interdenomina-
tional thinking that all Methodists
should be in one organization.
First: Get the white group to-
gether in one organization. Next:
All the Negro Methodists in one
group, and finally unite all in one
great Methodist family. It is also
a part of the thinking that the
whole task cannot be accomplished
at once.

A Few Methodist
Facts
By o. C. Hall

About 1886 the Methodist
Church came to America. In 1889, in
free Philadelphia, a group of Ne
groes entered Methodist Church
in that city and were insulted be-
cause they knelt in prayer on the
main floor of the church, instead of
in the balcony where preparations
were made for Negroes. Under
the leadership of Richard Allen the
group left the church and later or
ganized the African Methodist
Church, and quoting Allen, "Where
we could worship God under our
own vine and fig tree" About the
same time Zion African Methodists
organized in New York.
In 1843 the Wesleyan M. E. S.
(white) withdrew from the M. E.
Church because the church was too
inactive on the slavery question.
In 1874, in General Conference,
the M. E. Church spoke out in no
uncertain terms. And since that
time no agency has been buster
for Negro uplift than the M. E.
Church.
In 1916 after a bishop had been
reproached for marrying a slave
owning widow, the M. E. Church
South split off from the main body
of the church. Later all branches
of Methodism did missionary work
among the slaves. And then free
