BY Mark Gnerro

Some of Washington's most
distinguished leaders are to be
found among the Negro church.
men and women of the city.
The role they play in COM
munity affairs as well as religious
life is an impressive one. Negroes
have more than half the TOO
Protestant churches in the area,
and from their pulpits each Sun
day comes a steady and powerful
message of brotherly love and
Christian responsibility.
Nor has their devoted service
to religion gone unnoticed. In
increasing numbers, Negroes are
being asked to extend their abil-
ity and influence beyond the
limits of particular parishes to
the churches administrative Of
fees here.
Federation of Churches.
Outstandingly successful in re-
cruiting competent and jealous
Negro leaders for positions of
trust has been the Washington
Federation of Churches.
Ten churchmen, including five
laymen, have served as federation
officers. Their excellence might
be typified by Col. Campbell C.
Johnson, who was a vice presi-
dent IN 1947.
Col. johnson is assistant to
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di-
rector of selective service. He is
member of the National Coun-
Gil of Young Peoples Christian
Associations, president of the
Washington Housing Association
and chairman of the District Pa
role Board. A member of the
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church.
he has been active all his life in
religious affairs. In 1914, the
federation presented him with
it's Laymen'S Award.
Other Negro Officers.
Other Negroes who have served
as officers of the federation are:
The Rev. Arthur Elmes of Peo-
pies Congregational Church, who
has also headed the department
of social welfare; Bishop Stephen
Gill Spotswood of the AME Zion
Church, the Rev. w. H. Jernagin
