In the election of Dr. Harold Moody, a West Indian of African descent, to the chairmanship of the London Missionary Society for 1943, the colonial peoples of the Empire have received a compliment, an oversea exchange observes. This election is the first of its kind among the missionary societies, and, as Dr. Moody remarked, it “would have pleased Livingstone.” Dr. Moody practises as a medical man in Peckham (London), and finds his greatest friends among the people in the back streets, who, he says, “have no sense of colour bar.” He is the founder of the League of Coloured Peoples, which provides a meetingground for the large number of coloured men and women now in Britain. His doctor daughter is with the Army Medical Service.
