in a New Orleans Negro newspaperan article reflecting ou the purposeof these Congresses. That paper tookMr. Rudd to task for making a speechin that city with the aim of arousing interest and securing representation from the Crescent Archdiocese,whose ordinary tells us that amonghis spiritual children he numbersO,O0d of our race.Mr. Rudd is accused of trying todraw the color line in the CatholicChurch. This young mlt;*n’s work isa part of history. His battle againstthe Ohio Black Laws, covering, aperiod of twelve years, has madehis name a household word in theBuckeye State, and to him as muchas to any other one man is due thehonor of victory. Colored CatholicChurches are only t«o in name; forthere are always more white thanmmcolored communicants in attendance,and the Negro can enter every otherCatholic Church beneath the sun.The injustice of thi* assau t on MrRudd, is what drew my attentionapd thought to the importance ofpromoting Catholic organizationamong the members of the race. Theinjustice of this attack oa the mo*tives of a man who for years hasstood forth as a most courageousand manly exponent of race pride, isis too obvious to call for furthercomment*Surely, the cause represented byMr. Rudd is worthy of the bestbrain and unselfish support of everyColored Catholic in the UnitedStates.* 4h
