OUR DISTINGUISHED LEADERS
Sitting in the shade of the old china-
_ berry~tree under Southern skies my
' memory awakens while sitting thus,
and a-mirage like a panorama passes
before me. I see or seem to see the
leaders, the directors of the grand old
| A.M.E. Church. I see the Bishops
and General Officers as I saw and now
see them in the years long ago before
they filled the positions they now fill
the church, Here they go on the
"screen of my memory:
Bishop Flipper; When I knew him as
_ Dean Flipper and as President Flipper
- of Morris Brown College, and as Chair-
man of the Episcopal Committee. 1
member the loving cup that was pre.
sented to him by the Episcopal Com-
ittee in Chicago in 1940 after his
ction to the Bishopric. I was among
the first to invite him to Boston, Ga.
at the request of the white and colored
citizens. Bishop Flipper will linger
long in my memory and will never be
forgotten by me for it was he that put
me on the A.C.E, League Board and

From left to right—top row: G. B. Cameron, J. J. Morgan, A. F. Ragatz, J. L. McLaughlin, R. W. Bayless, S. R.
McCurdy, M. L. Vaughters, David Evans, L. S. Strickland, M. L.. Robinson, J. S. N. Tross.

E. €. Powers, A. J. Allen, E. A.
S. McElroy,
on the Hymn Book commission and
appointed me Presiding Elder.
Bishop Fountain: I remember him
first as Dr. Fountain. 1 remember
one night at Wilberforce, when our
President, Dr. E. W. Lee, who had
just died and we needed a man, when
Drs. Fountain, T, N. M. Smith and
the writer walked across the lawn to
the home of Dr. Scarborough to see
Bishop Smith about appointing Dr.
Fountain to the presidency of Morris
Brown College. I remember him as
president of Morris Brown College, and
the night of his election to the Bish-
opric, I remember those days of the
Institute in Alabama and especially the
pleasant afternoon that we spent to-
gether on the lawn of the church in
Prattsville, Ala, talking of the future.
Many of the things that we talked have
and are now coming to pass here in
Ga. He is doing more for the church
than was even dreamed of then. I was
a visitor then, I am one of his Pre-
siding Elders now, doing my bit to help
him put over his program.
Bishop Ransom: Looking back into
the past I see him as Dr. Ransom, Edi-
tor of the A.M.E. Review, I see him
one night at Wilberforce as he intro-
duced me to Bishop J. Albert Johnson.
I seem to hear him as he says he is a
brother of Bishop W. D. Johnson, but
he stands upon his own feet. The
morning after his election to the Bish-
opric, 1 remember what he said to me.
If he could remember what he said now
it would mean so much to me. Bishop
Ransom is an inspiration to me for he
is a great leader of the race.

PRAYER THOUGHT
' Gracious God, who art of purer eyes
than to behold sin, let honesty and truth
telling and the virtue of square dealing
come upon our nation and on all those
who do “business in the markets of the
world. May men know the tragedy
o1 deception and talse dealing in the
realms of commerce and: trade and ‘be
more and more sensitive to the moral
obloquy of wrongdoing in the sight ot
God, Restore to righteousness men
and women whose moral sensibilities
have been dulled by crooked dealing
‘and by low ethical standards in busi-
ness before the inevitable catastrophe
of a ruined character over-whelms.
Strengthen the purposes of Christian
men who now stand for the
highest moral codes in politics and
trade and pay the price in the presence
of corrupted competition and cynical
fellows. May right and truth prevail
and the principles of Thy Kingdom
Possess the minds and methods.of men
everywhere. We ask for Christ’s sake.
Amen.

President Koosevelt has at last
seriously turned his attention to
the probiem of restoring the vote
to colored Americans in the South,
tie has spoken ot his desire to re-
the obstacles which have
been placed in the way of the Ne-
gro in the South becoming a full-
tedged citizen. .. The Chief Ex-
ecutive has denounced the ini-
quitous Poll Tax and advocated
the abolition of it. ..We know that
the President is thinking more of
the 1940 election than of helping
colored Americans, but we wel-
come his assistance nevertheless.
If ever there was a chance for
Negroes in Southern states to get
the franchise, it is between now
and 1940, Mr. Roosevelt by be-
friending the Negro has antago-
nized large numbers of Southern
white Democrats. He therefore
will need every Negro vote that he
can get in 1940 to offset the loss,
It is true that Negroes can vote
in the presidential election but the
poll tax keeps many a citizen from
qualifying, and a large number of
colored persons are unable to ex-
ercise their franchise.
If the Federal Government suc-
ceeds in solving the problem of
getting rid of the Poll Tax, it will
be up to us to register every ayail-
able person over the age of 21.

OUR DISTINGUISHED LEADERS
(Continued from page 1)
Bishop Gregg: As the panorama like
a moving picture passes before, I see
Dr. Gregg as President of Edward
Waters College. I see Drs. Gregg, R.
B. Brooks and the writer on an Atlantic
Coast Line train out of Bartow, Fla.
bound for Jacksonville.
seem to hear the conversation now. I
said to Dr. Gregg that the time would
come when he would be the greatest
college president in the race. In later
years he was elected to the Bishopric
in Louisville, Ky. It would mean so
much to me if he too could remember
what he said to me on the morning
after his election. What he said to me
will never be forgotten by me. It
flashes across my mind, also a talk had
with him on his first return from Africa
after he had been selected President
of Howard University, I remember
reminding him of the conversation on
the railroad train down in Fla. many
years before.
Bishop Grant: I look back many
years ago on one of my visits to the
Fla, Conference held in Tallahassee. I
was appointed to serve on the examin-
ing Committee on Admission. Mr. R.
A. Grant came before the committee
and was recommended for admission to
the conference. It will ever remind
me of that day and will ever remain as
a memorial of the occasion when he
said that the time would come when
he would be as great in the church as
was his father. His career from the
time that he was elected in Chicago up
to this present time passes before my
mental vision. Having visited many of
his conferences I see him tonight as
he deals mercifully with his enemies
as he deals with his friends, too big of
heart to strike back.
Bishop Greene: Across the years I
see Dr. S. L. Greene as President of
Shorter College and as Presiding Elder
and as a candidate for the Bishopric.
I remember him as a visitor to the
Macon, Ga. Conference. I remember
giving him a booklet then, I see him
at Chicago elected one of the Bishops
of the church. I hear or seem to hear
what he has said to me more than once,
that something I hope will come to
pass by God’s help and his.
Bishop Young: Memory carries me
back to the General Conference of 1904
when I met the Rey. George B. Young
a fine specimen of young manhood. I
admired him for his looks, and thought
then that some day he would be a
Bishop. I see him as a Pastor in Hous-
ton and in Dallas, Texas. I see him
elected Bishop in Chicago. I see him
now a pleasant brotherly leader of mén.
Bishop Davis: I see him as the
learned Rev. M. H. Davis, the son-in-
law of that fearless leader, Bishop
Beckett, and as pastor of one of the
churches in Baltimore. He had been
in a train wreck. Again as the ballots
are counted in Chicago, he is elected

These conferences were graced with
many distinguished visitors,
them were Dr. Reid, of St. Louis, Mo. ;
Dr. Johnson, of Florida; Prof. Gregg,
President of Shorter College and the
Hon. A. B. Barnett of the A. N. P.
Yes our own Dr, John H.*Clayborn
was present at each conference, and
the three conferences re-indorsed him
as their choice for the Bishopric in
1940.
He is sociable, kind and friendly to all
alike. To know Dr. Clayborn is t
love him. 3
He is strict to business. He has
the courage to pursue what he believe
to be right. He has improved every
thing that he has been connected with, —
and we believe he will improve the —
bench of Bishopric as well as the great
A.M.E. Church if elected. He is a
great preacher and. loves to preach.
And presides with dignity and ease. In
fact he has every quality one could
call for or desire one to possess , He
has finished his College Course, he has
finished his Course in Theology, he has
served successfully as pastor from mis_

THE FIRST EPISCOPAL DISTRICT
REV. SAMUEL T. BOYD, D.D.
One writer has left on record words
to this effect: “—The evil men do lives
after them, the good is oft interred with
their bones.” This is not true for it is
contained in Holy Writ, (“Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord—that
they may rest from their labors and
their works do follow them”) but it is
sufficient to vindicate one who is in-
clined to think that man’s good deeds
are never considered as news, while
his mistakes are magnified and given
front page position. %
In order to tred the path so infre-
quently chosen by news hawks, it is
the desire of the writer to give those
who do not know, a slight idea of the
many good things that are now being
done in the First Episcopal District:
The Writer has nothing to gain more
than the honor of giving first class in-
formation to those who love the Church
well cnough to read of its well doing.
T have served in the First Episcopal
District under many Bishops. I have
noted the changes from time to time
under many Presiding Elders, having
presided in that capacity at one time
myself. 1 have observed closely the
activity of the Missionary work under
many different officers and I have
watched with a deal of interest the re-
Sults of the zealous evangelists as they
thaye gone forward in the work of
evangelization. In fact, T have never
, better thissionary activity, better
elistic work in reaching boys and
of Junior age for Christ.

Too much credit cannot be given to

THE CHRISTIAN RECORDE
Oklahoma leads in pushing him for-|
R
dom of God. Being deeply interested
in the progress of the Church, it is
with infinite pleasure that I note the
miraculous all-around change for good
and it would be criminal indeed to ne-
glect to mention the great work that
is now being done under the majestic
leadership of Bishop D. H. Sims. No
one could draft into a short article the
numerous things that have been brought
to pass, but we intend to mention a
few:
1, Ministerial Insurance: whereby
not one of our pastors need die in
poverty.
2. The separation of the manage-
ment of the Christian Recorder from
the management of the Book Concern.
Whereby each manager will have an
opportunity to do his best work un-
molested and is required to assume
complete responsibility. The Christian
Recorder is the oldest mouthpiece for
Negro independence and deserves the
support of every Negro whether he be
a member of the A.M.E. Church or
not and with the support of the mem-
bers of the A.M.E. Church and their
friends, it cannot help ‘but render an
immeasureable amount of service to
the race and the kingdom of God under
the incumbent.
3. The Book Concern is now housed
in its former home, the Allen Building,
with the Rey. G. E. Curry as Man-
ager. Under Bishop Sims’ supervision
the First Episcopal District leads the
connection in the amount of Allen Day
money paid to the Book Concern. Since
his having come into the district, over
$6,000—Allen Day and Mid-Year Con-
ference money has been paid on the
property. He hopes to come into the
next General Conference with the Book
Concern out of debt.
4. The Mid-Year Conference with
a revenue of over $12,000 is an out-
standing monument to Educational zeal
and never before in the history of the
Church has Payne Theological Semi-
nary received as much as $1,000.
5. Churches and congregations
which had left the connection were
brought back; namely: Metropolitan,
Philadelphia. Tyree Chanel. Philadel-
phia, Stewart, Brooklyn, N. Y.
6. Increased interest and- enthusi-
asm in the general program of the
Church. :
7. African Day; at which time over
$1.500 was raised and given to Bishop
Wright for his South African work,
This in addition to hundreds of dollars
reported at each of the Annual Con-
ferences.
8. The Episcopal District Mission-
ary Organization, with a meeting at
Bordentown, New Jersey, last summer,
at which was held an institution. the
first of its kind in the history of th
Church. ‘
9. A forum of Religious Education
and Social Setvice.
10. Under the leadership of Bishop
Sims the Philadelphia Conference sur_
passed the Chicago Conference and
lead the connection in Dollar Money,
until the recent Chicago Conference.
Tt is safe to say at the next meeting of
the Philadelphia Conference the ‘Old
Mothér’ will again lead and the First
Episcopal District will also distance
Georgia and lead the entire connection
in Dollar Money, coming into the Gen- BS
eral Conference: setting the pace for
the entire connection.
ll. The Episcopal Headquarters in
the third floor in the Allen Building, is
the most handsomely appointed office
for headquarters in the General Church,
with files, records, and necessary data.
The headquarters consist of a suite of
three rooms. és
12. So many churches have been
helped in every conceivable way. He
has stopped the auctioneer, appeased
the mortgager, and has caused a smile
to take the place of the frown on the
face of the disgrunted and many ad-
vanced steps have been taken—too
numerous to mention.
I feel safe in saying that before the
next General Conference, the First
Episcopal District will be the model
District.
To serve the present age, seems to
have characterized the every activity
of this great mam. In addition to serv-
ing the Ninth, he has marched steadily
onward; who would dare to prophesy
the great good that will be done, when
he returns to us from the General Con-
ference, free to serve the First
hampered.
His keen insight in the political sit-
tiation as it effects the Negro race in
general has placed him in the vanguard,
and has excited the confidence in the
leaders as has no other man in this
¢erucial period of our political life.
In civic affairs he is recognized as
one of the best depositary, and is in-
deed a campaign of civic righteousness
The General Conference should be
informed that the FIRST EPISCOPAL
DISTRICT NEEDS HIM AS NO
OTHER.

baptized by the pastor.
The Sunday School, under the ex-
cellent Superintendentship of Mrs.
Nora Pate is still holding the place as
the most popular organization in the
church. Mrs. Pate, each Wednesday
evening takes a group of teachers and
workers into Coppin Chapel, Chicago,
to the Teacher’s Training Institute.
Mrs. Nadine Covington, of the teacher’s
staff takes care of the transportation
facilities each week gratis.
The first service of this celebration
was held Sunday morning, October 2nd,
1938, with Bishop Monroe H. Davis
preaching the sermon. He used for a
text Isaiah 40:3. They that wait upon
the Lord, He will renew their strength.
Tn his sermon he painted many beauti-
ful pictures of the Metropolitan church
(then Union Bethel) one hundred years
ago starting in the home of the late
John A. Simms, and how they must
have prayed and waited on the Lord
and gained renewed strength. They
organized and built a church. The
Bishop appealed to his hearers to stand
by the Church of ALLEN and pay no
attention to those who would destroy
it if they could. Following the ser-
mon seven members were taken into
the church, and oyer five hundred mem-
bers took the Holy Communion and left
the church with the message of the

RACIAL PERSECUTION
MEMPHIS, TENN... Nov. 4—(AP)
Release of a pastoral letter in which
was deplored “the persistent persecu-

here of a three-day session of the House
of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the United States.
The group mentioned no nation in
denouncing persecution “as contrary to
the Christian doctrine that God hath
made of one blood all nations of men
to dwell on the face of the whole
earth.”
The letter added that there can be

The following letter, by Mr. Jacob

typical of many messages which have
reached us from “Umteteli” readers.
Mr. Nhlapo writes: “Allow me,

Bishop. Wright and the A. M, E,
Church on the splendid work they are
doing at Wilberforce. The opening of
a theological school at Wilberforce In-
stitute marks a significant milestone
that -this great African church has
reached in its almost half-a-century of
meritorious service to Africa.
“The minister is a very important
leader in the African community. He
therefore must be thoroughly trained
for his responsible task. It is gratify-
ing to know that all future A.M.E.
Church ministers will pass through a_
training school. yet

Professors White and Coan, sons of
Africa like ourselves, who have come
back to the land from which their fore? _
bears were’ carried away as slaves, to.
help us emancipate our Nation from
mental and spiritual bondage.
“To the White man, the African owes |
a tremendous debt of gratitude, but
the day has dawned when the Black
man should stand on his own feet if
he wishes to attain to his proper place
in the sun. Wilberforce and Ohlange
Institute are a demonstration of what
the African can do for himself. May —
they grow from strength to strength,” —

communities the ways of the Kingdom

ee? There should be a Christian Edu-
cational Council in each local Church,
Annual Conference and Episcopal Dis-
trict. These councils are not just more
organizations nor are they to displace
any organizations or agencies already
existing. In each instance the council
is to be made up for the most part of
those persons heading up or represent-
ing the various departments of the
Church, especially the Sunday School,
A.C.E. League and Missionary So-
cieties (Including the Y. P. D.)
3. The council whether local, con-
ference or district acts as the coordi-
nating group that facilitates the inte-
gration of all kindred forces; and serves
as a sort of information bureau for the
methods and material of Christian Edu-
cation, a clearing house for problems
and an inspirational power house.
4. The program of Christian Edu-
cation is recognized as fourfold em-
bracing WORSHIP, INSTRUCTION
SERVICE, AND RECREATION.
5. Classification of Christian Effort
should be according to age levels and
not departmental. EACH DEPART-
REPRESENTED IN EACH AGE
GROUP EFFORT.
6. It is suggested that, if possible,
and feasible, each local and conference
council be modeled after the district
council. The District Council is com-
posed as follows:
District Director, Rev. Wm, P.
Stevenson, 2436 W. Cumberland St.,

THE AMERICUS GEORGIA
a CONFERENCE COMES THRU
By U.S. Johnson
eorgia Annual Conference, held in El-
ville, Ga. iy October 19- 23, was one of
i€ most successful and harmonious
ince its organization. Despite the
tringent economic conditions existing
in this section of the church, the fi-
nancial reports from a large number
of the charges exceeded those of the
‘evious years.
At the outset, the Bishop thrilled ie
ference with his Annual Message.
‘So charged with zeal and interest, that
it sént to the hearts ‘of his hearers. hope
and encouragement that possessed
them thruout the sessions. While these
nessages of the Bishop are always in-
-spiring and filled with information .re-

BISHOP FLIPPER IS LOVED BY
SOUTH CAROLINA
(By I. M. A. Myers)
COLUMBIA, S. C.—Newspaper
writers of ‘note are releasing weekly
very fine reports of Bishop J. S. Flip-
per’s constructive work in South’ Caro-
lina, and many noted clergymen and
well thinking laymen pray his return to
the Seventh Episcopal Dist. at the close
of the next General Conference.
It is good news to hear the people
talk of the splendid work at Allen Uni-
versity under the leadership of a dis-
tinguished scholar, Dr. E. H. McGill.
Bishop Flipper is supporting President
McGill 100% in his work, and Bishop
Flipper and his Presiding Elders are
raising $40,000 a year for Allen; they
with the united effort of ministers and
laymen, are increasing the Dollar
Money collections in every Annual
Conference.
Bishop Flipper is with President Mc-
Gill in building a library on the Campus
of Allen University next spring.
The old factions once outstanding
among us South Carolina Churchmen
are dying out and, really, there is as
much peace and harmony among us
now as you usually find among Ne-
groes. Bishop Flipper’s leadership has
had and is having a wholesome affect
{in the Palmetto State.
