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

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

October 25, 1938
By Rev. Benj. H. Lucas, Pastor of
Institutional A.M.E. Church

THE MINISTER’S INFLUENCE IN
HIS COMMUNITY

Reasons for its Decline

I do not know of a subject more po-
tent in religious life than the one as-
signed to me for discussion. Hence,
because of its magnitude and impor-
tance I feel that every word should be
carefully weighed, and every sentence
uttered should be accurately measured
before submitting it to you for your in-
telligent and critical consideration.

In the outset might I be permitted to
state, that I am more deeply concerned
in bringing men to the acceptance of
Jesus Christ than I am in all else in the
world, and painstakingly trying to find
ways and means by which this desired
end might be attained. It then, should
be, and is a pleasure to give to you the

It is plain, then, that we should give
thanks for the good things we have.
It is not hard to do that, but we are
often forgetful. We are not always
rementhering to be grateful for the
common things,—the sunlight, the sea-
sons, our food, our homes, our parents,
the trees and flowers, the hills, the
ocean, and a great many others.

But it is equally plain that we should
pick out the blessings that come from
trouble and unhappiness. We should
be grateful for lessons to be learned,
the character to be built, the patience
and love that come tous. Our troubles
are often designed to bring us closer
to God.

Our second task is to find ways of
being grateful. Here are some of
them. The Juniors will wish to list
many more. By frequent prayers of
thankfulness to God, by many state-
ments of thanks to our friends, by grace
at table, by the family altar, by deeds
of kindness done to others either for
direct benefit received or as expressions
of a loving heart, by gifts to the Lord’s

trend of my thinking and some of the
conclusions reached, all of which are
germane to and deducible from the
subject. ;

In the new church and community to
which a minister is sent, he will find
many problems which need immediate
attention, but to most of which there
can be no immediate solution. He
must, therefore, be as wise as a ser-
pent, but as harmless as a dove. Be
kind, painstaking and spirit guided in
every step, less he make the wrong
impression as to his intent and pur-
poses.

1.7 The first “thing that “will greet
the new minister is his predecessor. If
his predecessor was well beloved by
the congregation, he will find a goodly
number, who worked hard in cooper-
ation with the old minister, feel that
they cannot work with anyone else,
hence, are ready and often do, sit down.

This doubtless ought not to be, nev-
ertheless it obtains. Their confidence
cannot be won by scolding them and
criticising the former pastor. If the
former pastor was not popular, or
even disliked by a considerable number
of the congregation, it is not a thing
nor condition that the new minister
should take advantage of by finding
fault with, and by reference to his
faults: and failures. First, because it
is non ethical; second, because lasting
and helpful influence cannot be gained
thereby. Influence is not conditioned
upon what one’s predecessor was or
was not, but upon what the minister
himself is and does. Influence must
have its birth in the church which a
minister pastors, and comes by kind-
liness, sympathy, honesty and upright
living. Of course charges to the con-
trary will be lodged against even this
sort of a conscientious minister, but to
have a clear conscience is sufficient.

2. The minister in the community
will gain respect and influence by his
foyalty and devotion to the ideals and
principles of religion as emphasized and
exemplified in the denomination he
represents. No one objects to putting
your own first. He should put his
ministerial services at the disposal of
any and all who wish them, such as
visiting the sick, encouraging the de-
pressed, helping the needy, etc., avoid-
ing always the encroachment upon the
prior or superior rights of other min-
isters.

The minister, to have the right kind
of influence must be prepared. in heart
and in mind. He must have been truly
converted that men might see Christ

work, and by careful attention to the
life each of us lives.

Many things are expected of the min-
ister, both by his particular congre-
zation and by the community at large.
It is to him, above all others, to whom
anxious souls come, not only in mat-
ters of relicion, but in matters purely
secular. Lack of information, , and
ignorance of human problems will de-
stroy confidence and lesson influence.
What the church and community need

munity, but rather make them his an
become all things to all men, that hi
may save and help some. I mean that
civil questions, community welfare or- —
ganizations, etc., should have his good
will and, if possible, his active support.
Too many ministers seek cooperation,
yet themselves are unwilling to cooper-
ate. Nothing is right or worth while
unless initiated by them.

The ministers, to have influence in
the community, should strive to be,
and keep in fellowship with his brother
ministers of whatever denomination, re-
membering that freedom of thought
even in religion is a God given right
and acquiesced in by the laws of our
country.

Nothing can be more destructive of
ministerial influence than a false ego-
tistical conception of one’s importance.
Usually when a minister thinks him-
self to be the most important, the big-
gest, the most righteous in the com-
munity, he is about the only fellow
who thinks so; hence, cannot hope to
have any lasting influence.

If there has been a decline of min-
isterial influence, the minister himself
is responsible for it. Not all, but few,
by their conduct have discredited and re-
flected upon the many. They have on
Sunday preached brotherly love, and
on Monday criticised and spoken ill of
a brother, often a brother minister.

They have on Sunday preached “thou
shall not steal,” and on Monday dodged
their honest debts.

They have preached on Sunday “thou
shall not kill”? and on Monday shown
themselves to be character assassins.

All of this is noted by the laity, and
they are almost on the verge of crying
against all, “thou hypocrite.”

I would not be misunderstood. I be-
| lieve and know that there are thousands
| of my brother ministers who love God
}and their fellowmen, and are giving
| their lives to the Gospel Ministry un-
| selfishly. A number of them is in the
Chicago Conference. I. unfortunately
know one or two of the kind first men-
tioned.

My brethren, these things ought not
to be. “Let us put on the whole armor
of God,” that we may wage a Godly
battle against sin and unrighteousness
Let us lay aside every weight

Let us love each other more and
serye God better. Let us put down
self and take up. Jesus Christ.

Let us be at peace and have good
will toward all men.

Let put the church of Jesus
Christ above all else the world.
Above all things, let us stand fast in
{the faith of the fathers! Then and
then only, if lost, we shall regain the
influence in the church and community ;
that God and the Christ intend that
their Ambassadors should have. Amen.

The dread of a terrifying instinct

The picturization of hell fire is relied

Revivals always flourish among peoples
of low intellectual culture where appeal

THE SPY-GLASS

The Americus Georgia Conference

(By Allen R. Cooper)

T passed by a little boy the other day
and I heard him say: “Dr. Cooper went
to town in his sermon last Sundav.”
T asked a man on the street corner what
did the little fellow mean. The*man
told me that it was an expression mean-
ing that I had done a good job. There-
fore, the Spy-Glass is borrowing the
little hoy’s expression and applying it
to the recent session of the Americus.
Ga. Conference held at Ellaville. Ga..
October 19-20, and “it went to town.”
Bishop Fountain, the recognized leader
of African Methodism, the world over,
and Georgia Episcopal head was never
better as an executive than during this
session of the Americus, Ga. Confer-
ence. All of the outstanding Charges
heading the four districts constituting
the Conference made one hundred per-
cent. reports.

Dr. T. J. Davis of Americus the
South African Candidate for the Bish-
opric, lead the Conference in financial
reports. The writer registered one
hundred per-cent and lead the Con-
ference in conversions and was returned
to Albany for the fifth consecutive
vear. the second time in the history of
the Church, that a pastor of Bethel
has been thus honored. Dr. A. M.
Roberts. Tr., of Dublin rendered his
8th one hundred per cent report. Dr.
W. D. Johnson. the distineuished son
of the late Bishop W. D. Johnson, was
civen the Presiding Eldership of the Al-
bany District, after making a one hun-
dred per cent report from his Charge.

“See That Star”, “Just Keep Going”,
“Do You Believe The Lord”. The

Committee on Ways and Means In-
troducing Thrift into our Church

Madame President, Officers, Mem-
bers and Pastors: We your Commit-
tee on Ways and Means of Introduc-
ing Thrift into our Churches beg to
make the following report:

In as much as the idea of thrift is
a recognized need among our people,
and the value of encouraging such an
idea is a forward step and inasmuch
as so many of our churches are heavi-
ly mortgaged, we feel that an institu-
tion should be used which will be able
to grant such mortgage. The repay-
ment of these mortgages will enable
us to build up an institution of our
own thus making the granting of oth-
er mortgages.

Realizing that churches already con-
scious of such a need have established
connections with some financial
stitution, we urge and recommend that
all our churches form such band con-
nections.
We recommend that Thrift Clubs,
Christmas Clubs, Vacation Clubs and
Mortgage Clubs be formed in our
Sunday Schools and churches to take
care of these various obligations.
Since the Citizens & Southern Bank,
the only colored bank north of the

in-

only serves,
and aid to the “Negro Race, we rec-

personal accounts and
boards and congregations to establish
financial connections with the Citizens

STRONG CHURCH ENDORSE- depository of the First Episcopal Dis- a

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE HELD
AT SHILOH A.M.E. CHURCH

Galveston, Texas

We are happy to report how suc-
cesstul our beloved Presiding Elder,
Dr. J. L. Sanders carried on his work
the Galveston District. This is
his. first year’s work since the Dis-
trict was changed from Houston to
Galveston District.

He expressed his gratitude for the
support most of the loyal members
have given the church. Dr. San-
ders was at his post Sunday, October
15th. In Sunday School at 9:30 0o’-
clock A.M. he .reviewed the lesson
and left everlasting impressions
the minds of the children, officers,
and Sunday School workers, how God
will give blessings to those who give
reverences to His Holy name.
