The Afro-American Presbyterian council consists of three presidents and a secretary. The National Baptist Convention is guided by Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., President, of Helena, Ark., aided by Rev. W. G. Parks, Vice-President at Large, of Philadelphia, Pa., and eleven secretaries. The Methodist Episcopal Church has one Colored Bishop, Isaiah B. Scott, D. D., LL.D., Missionary Bishop to Liberia and West Africa, Monrovia, Liberia. The general offices and officers, however, are in the United States, and consist of eleven clergymen and other distinguished men who attend to missionary work and executive duties generally. There are numerous Roman Catholic priests among our Colored Americans, some of whom occupy high positions as educators. Rev. Charles Randolph Uncles is a professor in the Epiphany Apostolic College, Walbrook, Baltimore, Maryland. Rev. John H. Dorsey is a teacher and Assistant Principal in the St. Joseph College for Negro Catechists, Montgomery, Alabama. Rev. Joseph Burgess is a professor in the Apostolic College, at Cornwells, Pennsylvania. YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young Men’s Christian Association among Colored Americans presents an illustration of the growth of the religious spirit in addition to that exhibited by the churches, but of course, affiliated with them to a greater or less degree. From the first student association at the Howard University, organized in 1869, there are now six International Secretaries, 96 associations organized in Colored American educational institutions, with an enrollment of 15,000 male students, and forty-five city associations scattered over 23 States. The Colored women of the United States began organizing Y. W. C. A. work in 1896, and there are now 37 associations affiliated with the national organization, with 12 city associations for Colored women. In connection with church or religious matters, the work of the Colored Women’s Christian Temperance Union should not be forgotten. This great national association makes for morals, sobriety, good citizenship and education. With all these remarkably large and numerous opportunities, the young Colored American should be able to find an opening for his desired ambition to be an apostle among his fellow men. The spirit is working and inspires the race with noble ambitions, and all the human virtues possible to inculcate in this world. It may be said, in passing, that to lead the souls of men to eternal bliss in the world beyond is the noblest and highest attainable profession or calling. In preparing men for a future home beyond the skies, he is converted into an advanced man of morals and good qualities on this earth to fit him for the next world. Men and nations have sometimes forgotten God, but their end has always been untimely.
