139 Harishof St., Roxbury, Mass
Rev. J. H. D. Bailey.
My dear Pastor:
As a member of the Board of trus-
tees, leader of class No. 9 and Poor
Steward of Columbus Ave, A.M.E
Zion church, I respectfully submit my
resignation from all official capacities
Rev. Bailey, 1 love you dearly and
[ have supported you 100 per cent in
everything, but I cannot in all sincerity
agree with your policy toward the off
cial board. In all bodies, political or
ecclesiastical the board spirit of demo-
crazy should prevail in order that the
bodies should function properly. In
the human body all members have diff
ferent functions. If any of them are
impaired, the body is weakened.
Our power as trustees has been
usurped, and we cannot function as we
should. The trustees should handle the
finance of the church, and the pastor,
as a member of the board, should work
with the board and not hamper its
power by taking all authority into his
hands.

general for the confidence they seem to
have had in me.
Last bat not least, to the Board of
Trustees, an excellent group of men,
l wish to say that our association has
been exceptionally pleasant and broth
erly.
Whereas I feel that the church is a
place of refuge from the evils of life,
where harmony and peace, should pre-
vail, and whereas I have taken a solemn
obligation never to do anything to i'm
pede the progress of the church; after
careful thought and prayer, I find that
l cannot under any circumstances ac-
qmesce in the present system or pro
gramme that is being operated in the
church l so much love. | respectfully
tender my resignation as trustee and
class leader of Columbus Ave, A.M.E.
Zion church.
May the Lord who doeth all things
well, bless each and everyone of you.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. W. WILLIAMS.

IN THE U. S. NAVY
Concerning the plight of the colored
mess attendants of the U. S. Cruiser
Philadelphia who were given "unde-
sirable discharges" discussed it with
a couple of lads serving aboard the
U.S.S. Omaha, which just arrived at
Pier 8 in the Brooklyn Navy Yards for
a months overhauling they ex-
pressed much regret, and stated that
they had no complaints to make
against the Navy as the officers of
their ship were quite considerable and
every one was congenial and friendly.
They left Lisbon, Portugal last
July, and spent several weeks at Mon
rovia, Liberia where they enjoyed a
splendid welcome crossing the
South Atlantic in November to Rio de
