6. To open the doors of your
educational institutions to our
worthy boys and girls as is done
by our Church in the North.
7. As, at present, the Consti-
tution of the M. E. Church, South
notably omits from its section on
General Rules that clause prohib-
iting “Slaveholding, buying or sel-
ling slaves’; we insist that this
vast “moral divide’ between
these two Churches shall be put
back into the Constitution of the
Methodist Church.
8. We insist that Southern
White Methodist Christians shall
be elert and active to effect,
through the judicial structure of
the courts in their several jurisdic-
tions, the same unbiased and im-
partial justice for Negro Ameri-
cans, and with the same unswerv-
ing fidelity and integrity, as for
all other American Citizens.
9. Finally if Christian in-
clusiveness and bigness are the
desiderata rather than a racially
segregated Church entity, we pro-
pose the integration of all the
original Methodist Bodies, white
and black, into a nation-wide
Christian fellowship — with no
race lines fostered—under the
designation of the Methodist
Church, for the glory of God
rather than the vanity of man.

HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He noticed a peculiar grayish color of clay.
He discovered that by its coming in contact with air and water its
color became reddish. As this man worked several days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor sk’n irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him
Then people in the neighborhood began tp examine and <periment
with this grayish clay and soon found that :t contained medi 1 quali-
