NEGRO LEADERS SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAYTALKS Dr. C. S. Williams and G. W. Cable Prominent in Church Programs. “The Call of the New Negro—Or What Shall We Do to Be Saved” is to be the subject of an address Sunday night t at St. John A. M. E. church, Seventeenth street and Columbia avenue, by the pastor Dr. Charles Summer Williams. Dr. Williams was transferred from the pastorate of Allen A. M.
