BEAUTIFUL HAIR AT EVERY AGE
“NELO” HAIK REQUISITE assures it. Rob
the hair of its lustie and you rob it of half its
beauty, its suppleness and its strength. When
the natural oil which protects it is deficient,
it must be supplemented, otherwise the hair
will become dull, dry and brittle; it will split
at the ends and prematurely fall out.

THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH AM0N6
COLORED PEOPLE
(By the Venerable George Gilbert
Walker, M. A., Archdeacon of Col
ored Work of the Diocese of Texas)
The church among colored people
is feeling the impulses of a new life.
; Of course, for some time, a more ot
ess definite and practical interest has
been taken in the colored work; but
i it has been during the last few years
that a strong progressive movement
has been actuating the church’s mis
sion to colored people. By the elec
j tion and consecration of two colored
bishops, the Episcopal church declared
not only her full confidence In the
manhood, intelligence, and personal
integrity of the colored American, but
! also her appreciation of the prime im
1 portanee of this phase of her work
i By opening the way to the highest of
; fire within the gift of the church. sb<
I pet her seal upon the sincerity of her j
faith in the supreme Fatherhood of
| God and the universal Brotherhood of
} Man.
The Eplscopa* church Is conserva
i five. Fbe moves quietly but steadily i
j She does much thinking and delibera-1
I tion before entering new paths or at
; tempting new methods. She sets much
store in precedent, and believes most
strongly in the value and Integrity of
her constitution and canons. In her
conservatism lies her strength. Shf
[ jc not swayed by mere emotion, neither
: is she taken off her feet by band
: wagon tactics. So that this step which
the church has taken Is deeply sig
nificant, not only as a movement for
ward, but as a movement forward
after great deliberation and much
thought No fartin r section or group
has any special consideration; It is
! the whole church acting by the gract
j of the spirit of God.
The Nation-Wide Campaign, which
is a movement for the deepening,
strengthening and propagation of the
church’s life, has revealed the great
importance, the immediate needs and
the wonderful opportunities of the
colored work. She has determined to
spare no effort or pains in the at
tempt to give the colored American
the opportunity to share in the full
; ness of her faith and spiritual life—
! to make the church felt among col
jored people as never before.
A few facts about the colored work
| will show that the mission has not
j been without results. This inform; -
tion has been compiled from the “Liv
ing Church Annual" for 1920. These!
i figures, of course, are below tjje ac-,
| tual numbers. In several cases col
i ored congregations are not recorded
us such. Also the number of com- j
municants is not given for some con
-rregations. And again, a consider- j
j able number of colored communicants |
; are members of congregations not ex
clusively eviort'd.
In comparing our statistics with
i those of other religious bodies, it j
; must be remembered that we record
! only those who are active members
! and who actually communicate, i
whereas other bodies allow more lati
tude in making up their figures.
