"Ecclesiastical Notes"

Negroes may be freed from civil slavery, but segregation of them in colored churches is just as bad, declared Dr. Mordecai Wyatt Johnson, president of Howard University, Washington, D. C., before the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, in convention at Rochester, N. Y. The Council, completing its quadrennial meeting, adopted resolutions to give special attention to the griefs of Negro brethren.

Services commemorating the 17th anniversary of Capt. Roald Amundsen's discovery of the South Pole, and his last sacrifice in efforts to aid members of the Nobile expedition into the Arctic, were held last fortnight at the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine. They were sponsored by the American-Scandinavian Foundation. Said Bishop William Thomas Manning: "Amundsen's achievements were the triumph of mind and soul over matter . . . signs and proofs of our kinship with God."
