OBITUARY OF
BISHOP ROY L. YOUNG

At Whynot Mississippi, in the fall
of 1888, on October 2, there was
born into the home of Reverend E.
F. Young and his wife, Maggie, a
son whom they named Roy Lee. As
a young boy, his life was full of eX-
periences with his father, mother,
younger brothers and sisters. Elk
periences which he ch eri S h d
throughout his life.
In 1885 his family moved to the
old homestead where as a boy, he
was fond of the out-of-doors, farm
life, hunting and fishing, and be-
cause Roy Lee was the son of a
preacher in the c. M. E, Church,
born at the dawn Of the twentieth
century, he found it necessary to as
sumo the responsibilities of a man,
and growing up" became a neces-
sity for him. 1t was during these
years that he grew in wisdom, sta
ture and in favor with God"
He professed religion at the Plea
SAINT Grove c. M. E. Church, which
was built by the late Reverend H.
B. Leach. 1t was in this church that
he got his Christian nurture as Sun
day School scholar, as layman and
as steward
The earlier education of this boy
was secured in the Pleasant Grove
School. Sometime during 1909-10,
between q and % years of age, this
young man named Roy felt that God
called him to the Christian ministry.
He felt that if he was to fulfill this
call and make his work effective, he
must prepare himself for the task.
Thus at the age of "a years, he en-
tered the Meridian Academy in 1913
where he was placed in the sixth
grade. Getting an education was no
easy task for this young man. He
found it necessary to work hard be-
lore and after school, to wear the
same clothes very often and in an
autobiography that he had begun
writing he stats, More than once
| have had The helrt burn all day
from eating nothing -. except mo-
lasses and sweet potatoes al of
this l cAeerfully did trying to obtain
an education"
In 1916 he was elected secretary
of the Holbrook Benevolent Associa-
ton at Marion, Mississippi This or
.ganization, its work and edifice stand
as a monument to the leadership Of
this son and MS father, who worked
with many others to make it effec-
tive and good.
In 1919 he graduated from the Me
ridian Academy High School, d very
disappointed fellow in that his mo-
Their whom he loved dearly had died
in 1913 and was not present to see
him graduate as salutatorian of his
class.
In the fall of 1919 under the in
fluence of Bishop Randell A. Carter
and others, Roy L. Young enterd
Paine College, Augusta, Georgia,
where he participated in student ac-
tivities and was recognized as an
organizer He received his A. B.
degree from this institution in 1928
On December 10, 1923, he was mar
ried to Miss Estella Otis by the Rev
erend E. B. Blackman. In the sum-
mer of 1924 he did some graduate
work in Theology at Garrett Biblical
Institute, Northwestern University,
in Evanston, Illinois,
He was ordained in November Of
1923 and pastored Goodwater, Mt.
Pleasant Circuit Mt. Olive; and
Newell Chapel c. M. Z. Churches. 1t
was at the latter that he spent his
best years. He came to Newell
Chapel in 1926 In 1927 he admin
istered ths building of this church
with smfll group of members num-
The echo., 1948-03-15

bering sixty the church was
likewise paid for under his aus
pices.
In 1885 he was appointed Presid-
ing Elder of the Meridian District,
c. M. E. Church. By Bishop Elias
Cottrell. He returned to Newell
Chapel in 1912 where he served I'M
til he was elected to the Episcopacy
in May, 1916.
He organized the Interdenomina-
tional Ministerial Alliance in 1926.
Organized a local branch of the N.
A. A. c. P. in 1885: organized and
served as president and treasurer of
the Goodwill Printing Company in
1929; founded the Weekly Echo, a
Negro Weekly; organized the Queen
City Finance and Improvement AS
sociation for the purpose of helping
members of our group to save their
properly being sold fer t-xes.
The church was the mos s.rn fl
cant event in the life of 2 op
Ro, =. Young and he gave his life
to its services as steward, as layman,
as preacher, as member of the
Committee on racial cooperation be-
tween the NJ E. Church, South and
the c. M. f. Church; Is Dean Of the
Leadership Training School at NJ. I.
College, Holly Springs, Mississippi,
where he was also trustee and sec
rotary of the Board Of trustees of
This institution and as the presiding
bishop Of the 9th Episcopal District,
comprising the five conferences in
the state of Alabama.
Surely his life shall stand as per-
sistant inspiration to his wife, Mrs.
Estella Young, his children, Mag
gle Juanita, Roy, Jr. and Mrs. Anna
Marie Hooks, to his two sisters, Mes
danes Annie Smith and Ruth Ches-
ter, three brothers, E. F. Jr., T. j and.
d. B. Young,to the host of relatives
and friends who knew him and,
above all, to his father who was so
responsible for the quality of his
life
Perhaps no other words can de-
scribe the spirit of Bishop Young as
we'll as those found in the manu-
script of his autobiography, In my
life is the likeness of several men
and women who have tried to do
something to help the race and COM
munity in which they live the
persons may not be styled as re-
known and outstanding leaders of
the country, tn y have, however,
played some little part in helping to
make the world better place in
which to live"
Such was the life and spirit of
Bishop Roy, L. Young.

living as we do now in an Atomic
Age, with the quiet studies of men
in laboratories and the thought
fuF development which is taking
place in the quiet lecture rooms,
will be turned to the destruction
of civilization. Japan was given
a taste of that scienti-
fic discovery, the atomic bomb. in
order to bring it to destruction,
sudden and complete, to avoid
a further massacre of the
lives of our Armed Forces,
and to terminate the war. Only
by unity of nations and continu-
Gus cooperation among them in
seeing that science as well as
armed men are kept within har-
ness of civilization, the humanity
will be spared the greatest catas-
trophe in all history.
It therefore becomes a solemn
obligation on the part Of every
man, woman and child, particu-
larly fathers and mothers to OBJ
serve in their minds and hearts
and in their everyday thoughts
and their everyday deeds and to
offer a daily prayer, for world
unity and the survival of the Unit
ed Nations Assembly, ito the end
that there shall be no more var.
In conclusion, let me quote the
words of a song recently compos-
ed and dedicated for this particu-
lar occasion Of the UNITED Ma
tons Day., by Miss Nobel Eos
ter, who is a descendant of Ste
phen Collin Foster, the famous
American composer, entitled,
God Bless all Nations.
There is a prayer within my
heart
Oh let the prayer have its start.
Let us join hands and sing,
Oh let our voices ring,
Make of this prayer your heart
a part.
God give all nations the sight
What's right to be. to see
For unity and lasting peace.
Teach all to understand /
That every man in every land,
Must stand for everlasting peace.
Let US join hands with nations,
Be they near or far.
Never let language or a custom
be a bar.
Let us work together,
For a lasting peace.
Never let our efforts cease.
God bless all nations,
And give US sight to see
What's right to be for unity,
And lasting peace.

ton, Dean Arm lauded his admin
istrative colleagues, who, he said,
have "an all-university viewpoint,
recognizing that the development
of any of the teaching fields
strengthens the entire institution.
"It is our policy" he said, ito
strengthen the departments which
have been less strong, but not to
do so at the expense of others
more proven" He referred to re-
cent additions to the faculty whom
he described as outstanding" and
said that the University faces the
future with "a well-qualified facul-
ty, an almost adequate plant, and,
most important, good backing
from the trustees and the people
of the state.
Citing the present undergradu-
ate enrolment of 2063, Dean Arm
said there was a every favorable"
student-faculty ratio of 13 to 1.
Dean Arm traced the develop
ment of the drama and music pro-
grams, which he described as an
other service for all the people of
the state, and discussed the ath-
letic program, which he said is an
integral part of the educational
picture at Delaware. 1--WE don't
expect athletics either to be ahead
or behind the rest of our pro-
gram, he said.
Others who spoke briefly includ-
ed DR.. William S. Carlson, presi-
dent of the University; Governor
Bacon, and Joseph M. McVey of
Newark, president of the Alumni
Association. The dinner was held

GOVERNOR BACON GUEST

The University of Delaware's
program is designed to serve as
many groups and interests as pos
sible. and when new wants appear
within the state they will receive
attention, Dean David l.. Arm of
the University's School of Engin-
eering told the Alumni Associa-
tion's Mid-Winter Banquet Satur-
day night at Newark. His topic
was "The University-Today and
Tomorrow" Speaking to more
than 100 alumni and guests, in
cIuding Governor Walter W.Bacon,
Aean Arm said that it was the
support of the people of Delaware
which had enabled the University
to give its students an education
in which academic standards are
maintained. Continuation of this
support, especially as expressed
through the Legislature, is vital
for greater strengthening of the
University's services, the dean de-
clared. 1.-THE degree has not been
cheapened at the University of
Delaware" he said. "Our students
are getting at least as good an ed
ucation as they would have receiv-
ed if they had come under less
crowded conditions.
1--WE are thinking of the future
in our services being rendered to
a student body of not less than
1900 to 1900. We think this is a
good size, because we will then be
large enough to support the activ-
tiles we hope to carry on, but still
not large enough so that we would
lose the advantages of the small
college"

as the head of the engineering
program but as a representative OF
