Proctor, of Atlanta, C.a.. one of the most successful '\u25a0 -"\u25a0' '"•'" a V ' - r ' church In the South. He Is vice-moderator of the National Congregational Council. Mr. Proctor is said to have done more than any other one man in the South to <r.ii<-t racial dis- turbances and to bring about a better relation- ship between the whites and Negroes, especially during and since Ihe recent riots in Atlanta. He helped to defeat the Hardwick bill in the Legislature <if Georgia, which contemplated the takine away of the franchise from the Negroes in that state". He is a graduate of Fisk University, Nashville. Tt-nn.. another institution founded and fostered by the American Missionary AS- sociation. There ho experienced his call to the ministry. He went to the Divinity School of Yale University on th<- completion of his course at Fisk in 1691. He dug his way through Flsk. He sang it through Yak.. "Th were four «>f- us darker ones," he pay--*, "who used to go out to the churches over Sunday to ting -and speak. This was valuable to us in more ways than pecuniary; it gave us an inpight Into the home and church life of New England that has been Invaluable to me. My stay at Yale was of In- calcuLible benefit. I Iced the fine democratic spirit therein; my color was nothing In my favor and nothing against me. I was as any other. At the opening reception the late Dr. Samuel Harris came to me, and after Inquiring concerning myself and scanning my six feet In height, facetiously remarked, 'You stand as high as any man in Yale.' Iknew his deeper meaning. Muring my three years In Yale I met with uniform courtesy From professors arid stu- dents. My white classmate from the South was no exception to this. On graduation day I was surprised to find that of the fight representa- tive speak \u25a0 of the class 1 had been assigned by the faculty the post of honor The subject of my address was .'A New Ethnic Contribution to Christianity.*" Mr. Proctor has been a pastor in Atlanta for twelve years. The aim of the association Is to raise $250,000 by October 1 from the churches and from indi- viduals, an amount which, with other receipts, win cancel all Indebtedness and generate a for- ward movement. The cause Is the cause of Christian patriotism. ••Th.- special masses have proved a great suc- cess for night workers, many of whom were actually unable t«. assist at divine worship, and for this opportunity they feel that they owe us a debt of gratitude The attendance is large, and if it continue* to warrant it. this service, will le continued through the Easter reason. Of course it is somewhat hard on the priest, who is not allowed to partake of food or drink before mass. •\u25a0], is not known that mass is said at th ' 3 hour it, si v other church of the country, hut m Ireland and Germany mass Is FaiJ at 1- o clone in many places." Now bfgins th<? I^enten season. From now till Easter Uiero will, as usual, he special services In the ritualistic churches. But there is noted a growing tendency among other churches to observe In a measure the Lenten season. Tl:e Men's League of the Broadway Tnber- nacle h;is arranged- a special series of Lenten talks, to bo held in ttu league rooms every morning at 1<» o'clock. The first address will be given to-morrow morning by Don « >. Phelton. president of the National Bible Insti- tute, on -The Pre-eminence of Christ." The leacu*' extends nn invitation !: "' only to Its own members, but to all men. The series is under the direct of Waldo H. Sherman. A departure known as high mass at high noon, held at 12:15 p. m.. is announced by the rector of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. in West f.lPt street, near Sixth avenue, to be cele- brated ewry weekday through Lent. A Bpecial mass is also celebrated In this church for night workers on Sundays and holy days at -\u25a0•"•° and 3:13 a. m. The R.ev. E. Scblingmann. the rector. savfe: XEW SEMIXABY HOME.
