Conference, A.M.E. Church = in
Georgia held’ his quarterly conference
at Spring Bethel A.M.E. Church,

and Sunday, June 5.

The night prior to holding the Spring

Preached to a highly appreciatice au-

took his text from Isaiah 60:1, “Arise,

OIL FOUND. ON WESTERN
UDMIVERSITY GROUNDS

For at least a year a Mr. Bert Hem-
inger has tried to lease the forty acres
given to Western University in the
will of a white friend, in order to drill
for oil. We signed the contract im-
mediately following our last Commence-
ment and he began digging with
the result of finding what seems to be
a very good well and will soon begin
to produce oil. It looks like in a year
or two we will have several wells on
our school lands. If our Church will
only give us the chance we will give
them one of the best Schools of Relig-
ion in the Race any where, in fact to
my way of thinking it is now the best.
Any young man or woman who is
properly vouched for by their Bishop,
or by a church pastor and who has
had high school training, or its equiva-
lent, may enter for forty seven dollars
per year, providing they are willing to
do a little work and may finish the
course in three years. Do not send
some one just to get rid of them. We
want only those whom you are willing
to take back into your churches as

me pastors.

splendid Church.

Sunday was a glorious day. Presid-
ing Elder Morris reviewed the Sun-
day School lesson and all who were
present .were greatly impressed and
mightily benefitted by the thorough,
scholarly, and simplified manner in
which the finer shades of the lesson
were revealed by him. At 11:45 a.m.
he ascended the rostrum and his text
was Daniel 3:23: “And these three men,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell
down bound into the midst of the burn-
ing fiery furnace.” The subject of
the discourse was: “The fatal night.”
This sermon will long be-remembered
by those who heard it; and its reper-
cussions have been felt throughout the
entire community. This splendid
Church is proud of the pastor, the Rev.
A. C. Clark, whom Dr. Morris de-
lights in referring to as the prayer of
feryent prayer and preacher of power-
ful sermons. Prayers are solicited for
the continued success of Presiding El-
der Morris, his district, and the
Church militant,

“Amens” and “Hallelujahs” were to be
heard throughout the congregation that
taxed the capacity of the spacious edi-
fice. . :
Saturday morning Dr. Morris left
for Spring Bethel, a few miles re-
moved from Gough, Promptly at 2:30
P.M. he announced hymn number 32
common meter, and offered prayer.
He then preached a brief sermon from
Psalms 23. In this sermonette he em-
phasized the duty of a shepherd; after
which the quarterly conference was
held. The conferehce was organized
in the usual manner. Brother R. WwW.
Walker was elected secretary. Re-
porters elected were Brother Homer
Brown, to the Southern Christian Re-
corder, Church publication ; and Broth-
er R. W. Walker, reporter to The
Christian Recorder, official periodical
of the A.M.E. Church, and the- se-

The opening sermon was a very high
feature of the program. The Rey.
C. S. Jones, Presiding Elder of the
Mound Bayou District, preached from
the very depths of his soul to the de-
light of all hearers.

The sermon was saturated with the
fire and Holy Ghost. Eucharistic

trice. Rev. G. C. Borrown and W.
L. Harrington, all from the Leland
District. After the inyitation Dr.
Barnes came forward in his unique
manner and thrilled the delegates with
his sixth annual address to the Vicks-
burg District and it was a splendid
reminder of the wedding at Cana of

alilee. ;

Thou hast saved back the best for
the last. Dr. Barnes is loved by the
district, both laymen and ministers.
We all with one accord arose yelling
his name giving him the endorsement
for the Bishopric.

It will be no experience to elect him
in 1940 to lead men by towering over all
in his class as a mighty giant.

This Conference also went on record
as giving Rev. C. G. Scriven, Presid-
ing Elder of the Greenwood District,
the. endorsement for the Editor of the
Southern Christian Recorder.

Dr. Scrivens is one of our best
scholars, a great preacher and a splen-
did writer.

The Annual sermon was delivered
by the writer. Educational sermon by
Rev. J. H. Green. All reports were
good. The Conference closed Friday
evening, May 12, marking a new epoch
in our history.

UNTO THE CHURCH IN
PHILADELPHIA
- Vance De Leon Shelto

From Detroit comes the announce-

ment of a proposed celebration of 75

years of Negro progress in America.
This, no doubt, will be an event unique
in the history of the American Negro.
It is universally admitted that the Ne-
gro has made greater progress than any
other race in a similor period of time.

The Negro's rise is one of the mar-
yels of the age, especially when one
considers the depths from which he
came. For two hundred and _ fifty
years he knew naught but darkness,
privations, horror, persecutions and
intimidations. Say, from 1619 to 1863,
his was one long, black, starless night.
Generations came and went, each
wondering ‘when cometh the morn-
ing, What delays the Sun of Liberty?

During this long, trying “siege” he }

emptied himself of his manhood,
strength and vitality to enrich and
expand a nation which gave him less
consideration than that enjoyed by
dumb brutes. The marvel of it all is,
that he had any spirit at all left when
through God in heaven and Lincoln on
earth, the night finally vanished and
the day dawned.

The day is still young for the Amer-
ican Negro. The Sun of Liberty has
lifted himself above the eastern horizon.
After seventy-five years it is now a-
bout “breakfast time” for the Ameri-
can of color. His shadow is _ still

Perhaps it will speed up the activities
of the Negro in every walk of life.

ing one of the most crucial periods in

namely—‘Religious Bigotry,” “Politi-
cal Trickery,” “Race Hatred” and “Eco-
nomic Enslavyement,” are at work to
slow down the progress of minorities.
The Jews are being run from “pillar
to post.” Of Germany as well as of
Egypt and Babylon, their poets wilt |
now write. Ethiopia has been ravish-
ed and her children scattered to the
four winds. What of the Negro in
America? Is he safe? Pat Harrison
wants to send the Negro back to Afri-
ca. Other southerners in congress are
doing all in their power to block the
economic progress of the Negro. This
economic blockade against the youth
of the Race increases from day to day.
The Negro is not wanted in the Army
and Navy except in a Jim-Crow status.
What a misnomer—“The land of the
frees7

On the political front the Negro is
kept divided by shrewd politicians,
white and black. The same world
that commends our economic rise, pit-
ies our political ignorance and lethargy.
The Negro is the world’s foremost
“political sucker.” Under the present
circumstances, what the future holds
| for him, can only be conjectured. Will
he be able to weather the storm or
survive the rising tide of racial dis-
crimination? It all depends upon his
ability to organize. In spite of the
Race’s great success, it -has yet to as-
sert itself to the full. It is either una-
ware of it’s great strength or afraid to
use it for fear of reprisals. I some-
times think that it is fear and pessim-
ism, more than certain “racial barriers,”
that keep the Negro from occupying his
rightful place in the affairs of the na-
tion. In many respects, he is too timid
to fight for the rights that are his as

long, pointing toward the west. His
zenith is not yet. Noon-day is far
distant. But between the “grey dawn”
and “breakfast time,” the Negro has
learned alot. Starting from~ the
depths of ignorance he has risen with
amazing rapidity to the heights of
learning. At the start, he faced the
“new day” penniless and inexperienced,
but unafraid.. Not having dollars to
invest in his future, he invested that
which transcends monetary values, and

5:30 P, M.—Allen Christian Endeavor |-without which the human race could

not move forward. Yes, he invested
faith, courage, sacrifice and other
“gilt-edged” spiritual values, and the
dividends which these have brought, the
world well knows.

The Negro of the “grey dawn,” was
ples. steubeliige hustling, up-and-doing,
gct-out-of-my-way type. With bull-
dog tenacity he fought against great
odds, yes fought and won. What a
great contrast to the easy-going su-
pine spirit, which. characterizes so

‘many thousands of us today.

It will be a fine thing to go to De-
troit and review the historic successes
of the Negro, past and present. Per-
haps it will bring about a “new birth”
of. the spirit of the fathers. Yes, per-
haps it willbe an inspiration to the Ne-
gro who wants to go forward, but lacks
the courage. Perhaps it will awaken
him to the fact that he is doing little

compared with the work of the fathers.

an American citizen. He simply takes
things as a matter of courage.

The salvation of the Negro finds it’s
expression in the oft repéated word
“cooperation.” The Negro has brains,
resources, ability and a vision of the
things he should do, but is lacking in
the most essential element of progress,
that which characterized the fathers
of yesterday, a “determined spirit.”
Another thing that hinders the prog-
ress of the Americans of color is their
mistrust of each other. Yes, the Ne-
gro must exercise more faith in him-
self if he would compete successfully in
the scheme of things. There is a

need of cooperation and coordination.
in agriculture, industry and politics as }

well as religion. I have often wonder-
ed why Negroes do not establish their
own stores instead of picketing white
stores for not employing colored per-
sons. I have noticed that Jews, Ttal-
jians and other native whites thrive on
Negro trade. They establish them-
selves in Negro communities and in a
short time they are independent.

If there is a Negro store in the com-
munity, it is usually poorly kept,
scantily stocked, dimly lighted and bad-

ly managed. I know that there are

exceptions to the rule, so to speak, but

that is the description of the average

Negro store or business.

of liberty and progress. But let us —
take heart and move forward cou-
rageously and make a way for our
children by creating business oppor-
tunities of our own. Are we not free?
That is the impression left by the
Emancipation Proclamation. But we
are not free until we enjoy the full
rights and privileges guaranteed to
every citizen under the Constitution.
We share all of the responsibilities of a
citizen but few of the privileges. Who
is to blame? The greater portion of
the blame lies on our own door-step.
“God helps them that help themselves.”
By depending too much on the other
race, we have failed to concentrate our
resources, ability and skill in the ex-
tensive production of business, pro-
fessional and industrial opportunities.
As a result, our economic pathway is
littered with stumbling-blocks and
darkened by clouds of discrimination.
Have we not failed to make full use of
our liberty? Until we unite politically
and economically for the general well
being of our group, our appeals for
justice will, continue to fall on dull and
unsympathetic ears. Let us not re-
tard the progress of the Sun of Liberty
Or, as Bishop Ransom puts it: “LEY
US NOT DISAPPOINT GOD.”

Dr. Baber and his Detroit committee
are to be congratulated for their for-
ward step in cal

the attention of
the world to the seventy five years of
progress of the American Negro. So,
as our achievements are passing in re-
view at Detroit in 1940, let us at the
same time, gird ourselves for greater
accomplishments, as the smiling Sun of
Liberty lifts himself farther on the
world’s horizon

SIX MONTHS WITHOUT

A LYNCHING

To the Editor:

I find according to the records com-

piled at Tuskegee Institute in the de-

partment of records and research that

there were no lynchings in the first six

months of 1938.

This is the first time since a record

of lynchings has been kept that the

first six months of the year went by

without a lynching.

There were four lynchings each in

the first six months of 1935, 1936 and

1937.

RS. SIMS, THE MOTHER OF

The address of Mrs. Sims, the mother

“nvention of the First Episcopal Dis-
et at Bethel Church, Philadelphia,
“was a very commendable feature
bi that occasion. 4

he meetin: or Convention, which
*S called and presided over by Bishop
Pins, Was for the purpose of stimulat-
Ns interest in the District on behalf
the very splendid and far-seeking
ostam of Bishop and Mrs. R. R.
"ight, Jr, on the missionary field

*~ t

in 6 w=

in South Africa.

The meeting was of an high order,
splendid decorum, with over-flowing
attendance, spiritual enthusiasm, in-
formation in regard to the missionary
enterprise of the Church in South
Africa and withal, prompted substan-
tial self-sacrificing monetary assistance
from the membership and pastors and
presiding elders thrcughout the Furst
“piscopal District.

The splendid ecclesiastical personality
of Bishop Sims charmed the entire
gathering to a unanimity of action for
the success of the cause throughout
the one-day session of the Conyoca-
tion, which sa-'¢d far into the night.

Dr. Berry, the Missionary Secretary,
in his own magnetic way showered his
departmental blessings upon the mag-
nanimous activity of Bishop Sims and
the leaders of the First District to-
wards furthering the worthy mission-
ary sndertakings of Bishop and Mrs.
Wright on beha!f of the South Afri-
can natives ducing this quadrenniur.

Bishop and Mrs. Wright were radiant
in smiles beaming with thankful ges-
tures right and left for the undoubted
sympathetic interest of their many
friends of cll in the work to wiich
the General Clauwch has assigned them.

In addition to the masterly and soul-
inspiring sermon by the Rev. Dr.
Tyler, and the competitive and en:>:-
t-ining singin. by eleven chors through
cut the District, we have thought it
well to note here excerpts from the
oddress of Mrs. Sims, the mothe: of
Pishop Sims. She said. in part:

Bishop Sims, Bishop Wright, Dr.
Berry, Ministers and Missionary Work-
ers:

“This is an epoch-making occasion,
The reason for such a remark is this
is the Mite’s territory; and I see we
are working in conjunction with the
Mites today, trying to do somethng to
further the Kingdom of God by giving
to the work of the W. H. & F. M.
But we are all Mites today.

“As you know, the W H. & F. M.
Society members are children, of the
Mites. And, so it is an epoch-making
meeting in which we are taking part.
We are coming together by degrees;
and it is only when God’s will is done
that we will be together, as far as
territory is concerned.

“I believe we are coming more and
more together in heart, as this kind
of thing continues.”

“Now, I am to speak of my experi-
ences. In 1880, Bishop Turner, after
visiting the fields in the foreign land
came to the States and went directly
to work to the organization of the
W. H. & F. M. Society in the South.
He saw the need of such a great work.

“Bishop Turner was a far-seeking

‘|man, and he knew that women loved

And to my mind they.
love him more than men. I believe
that from history. Biblical history.
Yes, several things they did more for
Christ than was known concerning
men. They loved Him so, that they
followed Him to the Cross. They fol-
lowed Him there; and when He was
buried—I say this for your encourage-
ment co-workers remembering ladies,
that I have walked by the side of a
minister, I know something of the
Church life—they followed Him to the

Jesus Christ.

Tomb. They did a lot of things before
they followed Him there. One went
there and found out that he had
risen. What man we have read of
who washed His feet with tears? Then,
these are the instances which prove
that you love Jesus more than men.”

“We are children of the Mites. And
we are all engaged in a great work.”

“I believe that the women through-
out the world of the Methodist Church-
es are going to have a great hand
in helping to bring in Christ’s King-
dom on earth. I believe you will wit-
ness that in the different Churches and
the Societies. For we see more women
affected by the preaching of the Gospel
of Christ than we see of men. We
do see women in greater numbers try-
ing to uphold the arm of the minis-
ters than we do see men.”

“And right here I am talking to the
Missionary women. I want us to try
to live beautiful lives; to be noble ex-
amples in the churches to which we
belong.”

“And, so, Bishop Turner organized
us and had us to work in the churches
after we were legalized by the General
Conference in Wilmington, N. C. Then
Bishop Turner came and organized a
Missionary Society in Savannah, Geor-
gia. He said to the women: “This is
your work—the Missionary Work—and,
as God said, ‘Let there be light” Christ
wants you to be the light of the world

societies, for the glory of God.”

“And, then, we had our Conference
Branch and District Branch with their
superior officers. And the first Con-
fenence that we hald reported $5,000.00

THE NEW TESTAMENT

A Translation in the Language of
the People

By Charles B. Williams, Ph.D.
Professor of Greek, Union
University

This translator brings to the
worthy task of translating the
New Testament into the ordinary
language of contemporary Amer-
ica, a thorough scholarship and
rich experience in his subject. A
professor of Greek for over thirty
years, he has spent twenty years
in the completion of this work.

This translation is based on the
Westcott and Hort Greek Text,
which is recognized as the au-
thoritative text throughout the
English speaking world. Where
there have been conflicts in the
Greek texts, the Vatican Manu-
script, generally conceded to be
the oldest and best, has been fol-
lowed.

Attempting to convey the ex-
act thought of the Greeks, rather
than to translate its
words. Dr. Williams has also
added explanatory notes at the
beginning of each book, and foot-
notes, to further clarify the
meaning.

In reading this book it brings
the event before you so plainly
until it seems like you were pres-
ent at the very happening itself.
It makes the Scriptures more
clearly understood.

This book is recommended for
the Study Course of the ministers
who are applying for membership
in the Annual Conference.

It may be bought at the A. M.

Israel was trusted with the word
of God, but the Prophet says: “My
people doth not consider.” The Pha-
rises were a strong and influential sect,
but the Baptist regarded them as a
“generation of vipers.”

I. The world today presents a sad
Picture. If there ever were a time for
rightéous men to be righteous, it is
now. The winds of evil, like a mighty
hurricane, are sweeping over the land,
laying waste to thousands of tender
souls, causing their moral and spiritual
strength to wither and fade. They are
creating a spiritual drouth which
threatens to demoralize the Christian
church and make it impotent as a force
for good. These winds of evil re-
duced the righteousness of many to
nothing more than “filthy rags.” The
horror of it all is that there are Pastors

LLL CT meee) | whic are joining hands with the Satanic

influences that are seducing and de-
stroying human lives.

Look at the world—By being at ease
the world has gotten the upperhand on
the church. The forces of evil are
running wild, and like a mighty flood
that will not be stemmed, are spreading
desolation and ruin. Spain is all but
torn asunder, China is fighting for her
life, Ethiopia has been ravished, the
Jews are being chased about by the
modern “Pharaohs,” of Germany as
well as of Egypt and Babylon, their
Poets will now write. Africa has been
exploited and the state of the American
Negro is very precarious. As one says:
“Righteousness exalteth a nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people.” Take
away righteousness, which is the chief
Corner-stone of life, and our whole
national structure will ‘topple, carrying
with it economic security, moral rec-
titude, social equality and political soli-

-darity And yet we are “at ease in

nearly 250,000 Sunday School Schola
and 6,000 instructors. The same ma
be duplicated in every nation in a great
er or lesser degree. There is a Serio,

Some churches are trying to mee, thig
situation by merging, but unless th,
church rises up out of its easy, Passivg
attitude, and let “judgement run down
as waters, and righteousness as a migh,
ty stream,” merging will avail Nothing
It is possible that circumstances iy
extend the process of merging to th
point where there will be nothing left]
to merge. The repairing and rebuild.
ing of the altar of God is the pri
need of the hour. Merging is a spley,

together. But merging, as such, cand

“Ye are the salt of the earth, bi if
the salt has lost its savor, it is good
for nothing but to be cast out and

being at ease, sin has taken a ter. ble

it is eating away at the vitals of the
church. The “Thou shalt nots” of
yesterday have been shelved as auti-

BISHOP GREENE'S
THIRTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY

IN THE MINISTRY |

Two State Congress (Miss. and La.)
Eighth Episcopal District
A-M.E. Church
Vicksburg, Miss.

Answering to the call of Bishop S.
L. Greene, all the presiding elders and
many pastors and laymen assembled
in a “special meeting” June 29th in|
Bethel A.M.E. Church.

The plans—as to the Anniversary and
joint Congress with Miss. and La.
were “re-affirmed.”

The following “outline” of the ex-
tended work, was given by Bishop
Greene. :

1. A special movement, must be
made by presiding elders and pastors,
for “spiritual vitalization of members '
and for soul saving.”

2. We must get hold of our people—
both old and young—and mobilize them
in both educational and religious move-
ments.

,
3. Ours must be a “larger” and
“greater program” for Campbell Col-
lege and the work in general—
The Modus Operandi

A—Each Presiding Elder, must a-
rouse the “interest” of the people of
his special district as a’means to an
end. The pastor must “energize his
charge.

B—Special arrangements for “mo-
bilization” and “transportation” will
be in the hands of each P. E.

C—A simultative-co-operative moye-
ment for all.

D—With the Streamline ,“motto”

BISHOP R. R. WRIGHT, Jr.

“Mother Bethel Church, Philadelphia,
Penna., the birthplace of African
Methodism when Allen left Old St.
George in 1787 was the birthplace of a
new venture in missions on July 5, 1938
when Bishop D. H. Sims presided over
an all-day session of ministers, and
missionaries in behalf of our work in
South Africa. In spite of the fact that
the meeting had only two weeks notice
and was called on the day after the
Fourth of July the auditorium of Beth-
el was crowded at each service.
The program began with a procession
to Richard Allen’s tomb lead by Bishops
D. H. Sims, R. R: Wright, Jr. ; Gen-
eral Officers George A. Singleton, L.
L. Berry, and J. G. Robinson. A ser-
mon was delivered by E. E. Tyler of
Jamaica, New York. Text: Romans
1:14-16.

The connection knows his ability as a
preacher. He is a projection of the
spirit of the class of Bishops of 1908.

There was an African exhibit, direct-
ed by Mesdames R. R. Wright, Jr.
D. H. Sims, and J. L. Link. Secre-
tary of Missions L. L. Berry presided
in the afterfioon when there was an

address by Mrs. E. E. Sims. , Bishop
and Mrs. Wright conducted:a forum
and question period on South Africa.
Moving pictures were made of the
leaders and persons present. In the
early evening Bishop Wright showed
moving pictures of his work and life
among the people in South Africa.

Later in the evening, there was a fes--

tival of music by several choirs, includ-
ing St. James, Atlantic City; Bethel,
Wilmington, Delaware, Murphy—Ches-
ter, Penna. St. Matthew, Mt. Zion—
Mt. Olive, and Tyree. The soloist
Was Mme. Adelaide: Flemming. This

and for one hundred and fifty years
has been paying its own bills. And,
by the way, what is one dollar in a

raise it, or spends it as fast as he
raises it he will have trouble.
