The disposition to start new churches
aud new denominations among the col
ored people of Memphis should he dis
couraged. They simply mean new bur
dens for small groups of people who
are already heavily taxed with the high
cost of living. Besides, these little
Churched are not able to commend the
services of persons ab elto teach and
elevate them, hence they are kept away
from light and helpful information. Re
ligion will be morn effective when it Is
made more practical ana less buruenea
with cumbersome organizations.
