tho matter of unusual Importance. Addi
tional Interest was given tho affair by
the fact that Booker T. Washington Is n
protege of tho association, Ho received
his first assistance In securing nn education
from tho association, and tho Impetus thus
I given him In his youth has often been
acknowledged hy( him as the basis of his
present eminence.
Tho nfternoon session hnd slipped away
before tho 'sentiments of tho delegates crys
tallized Into action nnd tho matter was
taken up by tho business commltteo. Be
foro It had formulated action tho session
adjourned and tho matter was postponed
until the evening session, which had been
planned to bo taken up with a sermon and
the communion Bervtcc.
Takes Precedence Over All.
The matter was deemed of sufficient Im
portance for a change In tho program
When tho meeting convened In tho evening
Thomas C. McMlllIn of Chicago, ono of tho
lay delegates, arose and In behalf of tho
business commltteo presented the following
resolution:
The Amerlcnn Mtaslon Association of
Congregational Churches, nt Its llfty-tlftu
imniinl HPHHlnn. held In Oak Park. 111..
Tuesday ovunlug, October 22, 1901, desires
to express its cordial approval of tho uct
of President Hooscvult In entertaining at
thn Whlto HoiiHf. recently Hooker T. was l-
Ington, a Justly honored representative of
his people, thui Ignoring race prejudice,
publicly and officially reatllrmlng tho equnl
rights nt American cmzensnip nu em
phasizing tho principle of brotherhood re
vealed by our great exemplar and mnster,
even Christ.
Tho resolution caused somo flutter among
those of tho congregation who wero not
aware of tho chango In program, but was
adopted without a dissenting volco and
with manifest approval.
Tho same matter received attention from
Rev. S. Parkers Cadmnn of Brooklyn, who
delivered tho evening sermon. Referring
to tho Incident ho said:
Ili-v. ;)! in it ii Hniphnslrct It.
Wo cannot shut out from tho inclusive
mranlniiH of the lilessiid evancel niiv fdnsle
child of tho race, and we rojolco In tho
couraco of our chlnf magistrate, who re
ceives at tho executive mansion of this nn
lion a illKtlnuulHhecl son of our African
citizenship, who Is ulro nn apontle of tho
prlnclnlos for which I am nlcndlnir.
Thero Is scarcely a monstrous paradox In
tho social order of today which cannot be
traced tu the refusal of man to link every
other man with tho efficient causes of tho
klimdom of God and the fnllura to look
upon him as a brother In Christ and to
estimate him by tho law of Christian
comity.
The opening session of tho meeting was
taken up largely with tho reading of re
ports of tho treasurer and the executive
committee, both of which showed an active
Interest In the work of tho association.
The convention's meeting was opened In
tho nfternoon by Rev. Washington Gladden
of Columbus, O., tho vice president, who, In
tho nbsenco of President F. A. Noblo, who
Is attending tho bicentennial celebration of
Yale, acted as moderator.
Appoint mi'iit of Committees.
Two committees wero appointed. Tho
members nrc:
Business Rev. W. E. Barton, Thomas C.
McMlllIn, Rov. Sydney Strong, Prof. James
C. Chamberlain and G. N. Kellogg.
Nominating Rov. II. T. Sell, Ralph Em
erson, Rev. Frank S. Fitch, Charles F. Car
tor und Alfred T. Perry.
Tho nominating committee will not report
until Thursday morning, when It Is ex
pected It will recommend the election of
Rov. Washington Gladden to succeed Dr.
Noble.
I'nr a Union Mt'ctlim.
A resolution was adopted toward the
holding of a union meeting of all homo and
mlsHlonary societies In October, 1902, and
several other mntters pertaining to a union
of forces. Tha resolution was referred to
tho business committee.
An amendment to tho constitution of the
association, taking out of tho hands of the
association tho election of tho secretary
and treasurer, tho two salaried officials of
tho society, was referred to tho business
commltteo to report on beforo the close of
tho session.
