BISHOP ALLEN,
{REYV, H.W. KING)
}. Every period in the history of the
world’s advancement hes kad its
chief characters to champion great
Principles aud lead om Important re
forms, These characters are the
pioneers of new departures fer the
betterment of the conditions of man-
kind, Sometimes they come from
the summit of society, but more oftea
from the rank and ile of the plain
people, generally from obscurity, the
cradie cf genious. All parts of the
globe have geen theeir birth places
and every race hae produced them.
Behiad all proper advancement fs
one eternal, ever present, infinitely
wise and all controlling first cause,
and that frst cause ts God, Ruler of
the universe, But upen whatever
lines the leaders of reform have ad-
vanced, they have been confronted
at every step by formidable oppo
sitjons = and ~=— tolarepresentations.
Torture and frequently death has
been the penalty, Instead of the
church being the happy exception, it
has furnished thé most appalling or-
deals through which the leaders of
progress have been forced to pase.
In 1760 Richard Allen was born of;
slave parentage, in the city of Phil-’
adelphia. Pa., but was sold with his
parents Into Deleware, At the age
of seventeen, he was conserted and
joined the Methodist Episcopal church
which was as unpopular at that time, |
an its colored member, “In 1782, he
was licensed to preach, being the
Arst colored man licensed In the My

Tradition says, “The first evidence of
this was, the passing of a rule com.
pelling colored members to sit, but
one in a pew and that next to the
wall," This proved unsatisfactory
as the building soon became lined
[with colored members. Numerous
other orders were made until preju-
dice, at the altar of Cod:became so
intense and arrogant that while at
Prayers the eolored members were
pulled from their knees and ordered
,to the back of the church. It was

Ithe reason of the varlous mistreat-

of building a house where they might
