A carefu0"eneuteY regarding the

City of Stuart elicited the infermation
that one 'emust "croes the track in

seemed to hem he this dusky race, and

One, could hardly call this change a
transition rather was it a definite

asethat between the hue's of skin them-

The "Colored" Preachers
Naturally our initial interest was
centred in the churches with their
colored ministers and people, tied after
reconnoitring the territory from all
sides Nye located the Methodist church
with its adjacent parsonage-. The
writer has never considered it tres-
passing to invade the sanctity of
churches, for it is always interesting
to compare Jiotes both with respect
to • theeech arehitecture, and -with • the -
methods employed- in the. •earrying- out
of its program. Thischurch- was of
modest pproportione, seating about 200
people and severely lacking any adorn-
ment, either outside or ,within, that
would constitute an objective aid to•
worship. The paint had long since
become a prey to the elements and the
structure itself clamored for rejuven-
ation,
We had caught a glimpse of the•
colored miniker reclining on the
verandah possessed of his bosom pal the
famous corncob pipe. If there is such
-
a thing as holy sinoke he was certainly
manufacturing it on this occasion.
There .had been a Mutual detection
and in themidst of our explorations
he came .into, the ehnrele to discover
our identity and to facilitate us to the
full by way of question and answer.
10 terms of years he .was no 'longer
young; as a matter of Met, he was
saying an revoir to ruiddle age, his
physique bearing the marks of a
veteran in the service of his church
and his. Christ. What a contrast be-
tween the church in which the Writer
preached and this one scarcely more

One would , like to think\ that thh.;
NaSri:t the usnal relationship.
, We enquired of this simple yet
wholesdine _ambassador of the Cross as
to how many additional churches there
were catering to the needs of this
people. whereupon he replied, two
I3aptist and one Episcopal, each with
a resident minister. Surprise was ex-
pressed' that there should be two
churches of the same "coMmunion" 10
a community that wasn't relatively
large. Answer—Secession from the

ing group "milled out' and built
chnrele to. meet /heir own supposed
pattern. The writer asked the Method-
ist minister if that sort of thing could
happen in his chureb. his reply being

whether this all:relent edition of Buick
