PEARLMAN, Cotton Avenue, Americus, : : : Georgia^ NEGROES 2N THE NORTH NOW WANT BISHOPS Problem Up In Northern Methodist Church. CONFERENCE WILL MEET IN MAY At Baltimore And Claims of Race Will Then Be Pressed-Review of the Efforts That Have Been Made In That Direction. BALTIMORE, MD„ Qctober 6.— (Special.)—As one after another of the annual conference of the Me thodist Episcopal Church meet in one part or another of the country, and as the bishops of the denomina tion begin to look forward to the next session of the General Confer ence, which will meet in Baltimore In May, the fact becomes established that the race problem will have to bo decided by that body. In this connection It Is Interesting to recall the events of the past. The first promise of future recognition was extended to the negroes by the General Conference of 1S72, when this declaration was made: "There Is nothing in race, color or former condition of servitude that Is a bar to an election of tbo episco pacy. The claims of our numerous and noble-hearted membership of Afri can descent to perfect equality of relation with nil others In our com munion aro fully recognized by the’ discipline and amply demonstrated In the administration of the Method ist Episcopal Church. In 1880 the General Conference de clared ‘t'he best Interests of our church In general and of our colored people In parUcular require that onp or more of our general superinten dents be of African descent” This promise of a position of high est dignity, for in the church there Is no priority among the bishops, has been held constantly in view by But in 1901 after pressure had ben brought for some action, a com promise was leclded on. Aih emend- ment was proposed, which will be' voted on by the annual conference this fall and next spring, that bishops for work among particular races be created. In this amendment It was provided that the power of such bishops be less than that of bishops of the older order and not represent ing any particular race. The negroes In the church see In this compromise a chance to have some members of their race made a bishop at once, but a bishop with re stricted power. Some of the negroes believe it possible to use this as a stepping stone to absolute equality, while the great majority are opposed to the compromise and delcare It Is a makeshift that will have the ten dency of spoiling their chanceB of ultimate equality. The limit of the power of such bishops who would corespond to the missionary bishops" would lie In the fact that they would not be membera of the Board of Bishops. That they would have no vote In that body and could only attend by courtesy. They could be heard only by suspension of rules, their expenses would not be paid, and their names would not ap pear In official documents. While the whole problem Is that of dealing with the negroes who are aspiring for promotion In the coun cils of the church, the wording of the amendment Is such that If passed it would have a wider scope. It Is "for races and languages" and there might then he bishops for the Ital ians. Germans and Scandinavians and all the other races In the church, which oxteuds almost around the world. The proposed amendment was launched Saturday night of the clos ing of the General Conference of 1904, the last meeting of that body, and the vote upon It was hasty. Two- thirds of the members voted In favor of the passage of the amendment and Its submission to the annual confer ence. Many of the leaders of the church, who have desired the final settlement of the negro problem In the chnrch to be deferred, have re- the negro members, but at each suc ceeding —Ion of the convention the gretted that the amendment waspa««ed sentiment has been expressed that the land that the dlfflcult question will time had not ret arrived and that| demand a positive answer next tt was r«t to come. spring.
