Church Again Split
Over Civil War Issues

The Civil War again split the
clergy and communicates. Bishop
McIllvaine of Ohio was sent by Pres
ident Lincoln with Catholic Arch
bishop Hughes, Congregationalist
Henry Ward Beecher and Thurlow
Weed to persuade England not to
recognize the Confederacy. Bishop
Polk Of Louisiana became a Con-
federate Army general. But the
passing years have done much to
heal this division in the church.
There are many historic Episcopal
churches in or near Washington.
Christ Church in Alexandria. where
George Washington and Robert z.
Lee were members, is one of the most
famous. Christ Church at $40 G
street Sc, where Thomas Jefferson
frequently attended services, is an
other old congregation. Others are
Church Of the Epiphany, st. Johns
Church, Lafayette Square, and st.
Johns Church, Georgetown; st.
Thomas Church and Rock Greek
Church. These and the other Epis-
copal churches have played an inn
portant part in the life Of the Dis
trict and of the Nation.

IRA ALDRIDGE

In her radio talk Sunday of History Week Olga Tkach,
assistant secretary Of the Sav Congress of Greater New
York gave the following account of the friendship be-
tween Taras Shevchenko Ukrainan poet and Ira Aid
ridge, Amercan-born actor.
'In December 1853 Aldridge came to Petersburg.
Shevchenko did not miss single performance in which
the famous actor took part They met in Count Tosoys
home Though the poet and the actor could not
without the aid interpreter they drawn to each
other from the first and formed firm friendship. They
were bound by common love for art common hatred
of tyranny and oppression.
'In the United States his native country Aldridge
was not permitted in the theatre He could only
take part in amateur performances with colored casts
In Britain he made his debut at the Royalty Theatre and
Immediately recognition Later, he appeared the
stage in Berlin In 1853 he appeared in Moscow Peters
burg and subsequently, in Kharkov, Odessa and Kiev,
amazing the public everywhere by his magnificent acting
He was most successful in the roles of Shylock King Lear
Macbeth and Othelo.
"Shevchenko expressed the desire to paint the
tragedians portrait. Adrdge to the sttings
companied by Tostoys daughters. He would sit solemn
ly and quietly for while but before long his vivacous
nature would get the better Of him and he would begin
to sing melancholy native melodies old English ballads.
Shevchenko would pause in his work osten and gradu-
ally his brush would drop to the floor Adrdge would
then rise and begin odance jig.
Nevertheless the portrait finished and
signed by both the artist and the tragedian. Aldrdges
acting impressed the poet much that he could

The interesting story of the early American tragedan

has made since Aldridges time. He among the first

the lives of millions of people,

Civil liberties were increasing
Iy being denied the freedom to
the establishment of Douglass,
who despite his ranking position
as Marshal of the District of Col
umbia, girded himself for this
new fight. Oddly enough, woman
suffrage and the suffrage of col
ored citizens were concurrent is
sues of the day. Douglass adj
vocated the acknowledgment of
women and was a frequent guest
speaker at woman suffrage meet
ings.
Douglass pleaded for racial and
religious tolerance. He felt that
all men are entitled.t to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. He
did not approve the United States
policy which barred Chinese i'm
migration. He said that human
rights should never be subordinat-
ed to considerations Of race; that
the Chinese should be welcomed to
America for they would greatly
enrich our natural wealth. He
contended further that we should
welcome all men of every shade of
religious opinion, that diversity
rather than general conformity is
the best means for checking re-
ligious arrogance and intolerance.
The times demand men and wo-
men of Douglass caliber. Racism,
sectionalism and nationalism must
go. Too, intolerance, the bette
noire of society, must give way to
patience and understanding. When
We look deeper into the life of
Douglass the broadness of his vi
sion is shown;
AS an individual he was nom
sectarian; degmas and creeds
meant little to him; he had a deep
er faith; faith in the goodness of
all men; a faith in God.

Who Is To Blame?
hv WoV4nv. II G4ovo

Not so many years ago the
members of our Race could
count upon the cooperation Of
many prominent and wealthy
white Bostonians who were al
ways ready to join wholeheart-
eddy in our worthwhile en-
deavors. Where are these white
people now, wonder? Certain
ly they are not to be found as
members Of the Executive
Boards of any of our outstand-
ing organizations.
I do not know where the
fault lies, that organizations
which should be inter-racial in
character have seen fit to dis
pense with the services Of these
kind and valued friends. The
truth must be evident to the
most obtuse mind - that prom
inent white citizens have an
influence in ali directions
greater than any the colored
citizens alone have thus far
been able to achieve. Among
other things, they can get in
the white papers publicity
which we find it difficult or al
most impossible to obtain.
Therefore, we suffer in putting
over a worthwhile project from
lack of support by the white
press.
Even in furtherance of social
relationship our white friends
offered us, not so long ago, the
opportunity to exchange view
poinst with them over the tea
cap and a bit of cake.
On more than one occasion
in the past, we used to put on
our good behavior and mingIe
with the whites at garden par
ties held on the estates Of the
most prominent Of gentle
whitefolk. We enjoyed many a
get-to-gether with that well
known inter-racial organization,

with the exclusive and socially
prominent Junior League of
