“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

by the way, what is one dollar in a

Common sense is by no means
a common thing. The degree of
"C, S,” common sense confered by
THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER.
University of Berlin upon the
ministry of our church. TE. 1
were a common thing how easy it
would be to unite the bishops, el-
ders, ministers and lay members
upon a program of supporting the
General Officers and bishops who
are elected by the General Con-
ference, instead of making choice
of some one whom the General
Conference has rejected.
How strang and how simple it
seems to me that those who get
all of their living from the A. M-
E. Church should be so loud in
their denunciation of its acts and
disregard of its program, and aid
and abet the enemy in their mad
fight to wrought our destruction.
Is it an exhibition of common
sense on the part of a bishop to
support a man or an institution
that does all in their power to
stop and upset the “Dollar Money
System” of the A. M. E. Church
from which he gets his BREAD
and the Connection its life? Is
it exercising “COMMON SENSE”
for a presiding elder to do so
when the thing you support pleads
with the people as an attorney
at the bar to “Starve” you out?
Could any pastor lay claint to the
degree of “COMMON SENSE”
if he supports the thing that has
worked over time to send him to
the poor house? . “Believe it of
not,” a man would show more
common sense to climb the tallest
tree in the forrest, crawl out on
a limb ten feet from the trunk,
and saw the limb off between
himself and the tree, than those
churchmen who with-hold their
support from the man elected by
the General Conference, and_give
support to the man. that the Gen-
eral Conference rejected. To be
more specifice, I refer to E. A.
Selby the Secretary-Treasurer of
the Sunday School Union of the
African Methodist Episcopal
Church, and Ira T. Bryant who
met a disastrous defeat at the:
polls in New York City none too
much of the “C. S.” degree in
their attitude to those who com-
pose the Charter Board and with
hold from the church the use of
its property under the Technicali-
ty of the Tennesee corporation
law when they know it is the
property of the church; for I am
advised that there are those who
compose said Board who receive
appointments at the hands of our
bishops who were clected to their
high and holy office by the same
body who elected E, A, Selby.
These Board members could if

of the church, change that charter
and in peace turn our property
back to the church that bought
it. I-am not certain but if true,
“We are slow in business.”
I know however that we have
big churches that actually ignore
the Secretary-Treasurer elected
by the church, “Have turned their
ears from the truth and listened
to fables.” I have visited some
of our big churches that still sup-
port Bryant who has no more
authority to publish our litera-
ture and disciplines than a rabbit
has to represent the United States
Government in the League of Na-
tions. I am not sure that the
A. M. E. Church as a corporation
has in any way taken any steps
to defend itself against the in-
vaders who would deprive us of
our property and our right to
select our officials, and to uphold
its own government. If the church
has spent one cent as a church in
its defense, I have not heard of
it, tho it is said that there is’a
$10,000.00 mortgage now against
the property which was not even
authorized or known by the
church. It seems to me that the
church should awake and put her
armour on. Oh! Common Sense,
and consistency where art thou?

LIBRARY OF NEGROANA
Kelley Miller is deeply inter-
ested in having establisht at
Howard University a National Li-
brary of Negroana. Instead of
putting it at Howard it seems to
us that Wilberforce University
is the logical place. It is the old-
est institution of learning which
the Negroes have. Its value is
heightened by a glorious heritage,
sentiments and traditions, On the
other hand Wilberforce has a-
spirit and point of view which the
young generations of Negroes
need for living successfully with-
in this American environment.

AFTER KITTRELL, WHAT?
The third week in August will
be very significant in our Metho-
dist family. At Kittrell College,
N. C. Bishop M. H. Davis will
hold the second Annual Religious
Education Convocation of the
Second Episcopal District. Words
are inadequate to describe the
convocation which was held last
year. Those who were there
still speak about it with rapture.
It was echoed from the platform
by ‘Bishop Davis, Drs, John R.
pines
Hawkins, Ward Nichols, Ss. 5
Morris, C. E. Stewart and others
that ‘Kittrell must come back p
Under the presidency of W. J
Cochran, Kittrell has-come back.
This is where upward of a thous.
and convocationists will gather
next month. A dream has been
realised.
On Thursday, August 18 the
Council of Bishops will meet. It
is always of moment when they
meet to consider “The state of
the church,” and society. There
are “fightings without and fear,
within.” The crisis which front,
the organised forces of religion
is acute. The African M. Ff.
Church is morally obligated to
speak for millions. Thru the
years she has spoken. The heads
of Allen’s Bethel will not {ail
now. :
Of paramount importance will
be the question of Union in the
Negro Methodist group. There
is no valid argument against.
The time is_propitious. The logic
of events make it imperative,
There is no sense in remaining
apart. The C. M. E’s, U. A. M,
E’s., A. M. E. Zionites, and A. M.,
E’s. ought rise above selfishness
and build a strong Methodist
communion upon the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of
man. Since our brothers and
‘sisters in the M. E. Church have
been segregated it would be fine
if they would come in. God is
still no respecter of persons. The
Negro united ought lead the way
to Christ in America. Represen-
tatives of these Methodist
branches will be at Kittrell. Let,
let, let us formulate a plan of fed-
eration or union and by the grace
of God consummate it.
Then let us keep up the fight
against lynching and every form
of un-Americanism. Let us con-
tend uncompromisingly for econo-
mic and social justice. We must
not rest until the ballot shall be
restored to our disfranchised
brothers in certain states in the
Union. We must vigilant lest
the jewels fall from the crown
of liberty. . We must be con-
cerned about the application and
administration of the “New Deal,”
especially with reference to jobs,
relief, od age pensions and social
security. Kittrell presents at
once a great opportunity and 4
task. After Kittrell, what?

OAKWOOD, TEXAS
St. Paul Circuit
'The third quarterly conference con-
vened at St. Paul A. M. E. Church,
June 11 and 12. Rev. Nelson Dixon,
pastor; Dr. J. B. Butler, Presiding
officer was at his post of duty, who
presided over the meeting. The busi-
ness session on Saturday was one of
success. Sunday morning at 9:30 A. M-
°
J. R. Coasey M.D., graduate of
Allen University, and Meharry Medical
College, practising physician in Balti-
more. Dr. Coasey stands high in
fraternal circles. Like Bishop M. H
Davis, he married into the family of the
late Bishop W. W. Beckett. As a
business man, Dr. Coasey owns a
laundry in Baltimore. He is an out-
stan@ing layman and has been a mem-
ber of the General Conference since
1928. He will sit as a member of the
Detroit General Conference in 1940.
Dr. Coasey is an officer in St. John,
Baltimore, and a membes of the Con-
nectional Financial Board. Very quiet
and unassuming.
Bro. Walter Johnson, the live-wire
Supt. assembled 75 or more pupils for
Sunday School. A banner session was
had. At 11 o'clock A. M. Dr. Butler
spread his gospel feast which all en-
joyed. At 3:30 A. M. Bro. Dave John-
son, president of A. C. E. League called
the League meeting to order and a
record-breaking session was had at
the close of the League meeting Dr.
J. B. Butler was called forward and
Rey. Dixon, paid to him $31.61 which
left the Presiding Elder all smiles as
he took leave from us until the expira-
tion of three months more. We hope
the spirit of Christianity will continue
at high tide the remaning of ths con-
ference year. Pray that we mght be
able and play well our part on all
claims.

BARBARISM
Columbus, O., June 28—America
must set the world an example against
a “tragic tide of barbarism” now sweep-
ing across the world, Senator Robert
F. Wagner declared tonight in a
speech at the opening meeting of the
29th annual conference of the N.A.A.
C.P. in Shiloh Baptist Church.
America can best set this example,
the New York Senator declared, by
strengthening democratic institutions,
promoting democracy in the economic
order, and fortifying it as a way of
life; specifically, with reference to the
Negro, by passing a federal anti-lynch-
ing law, wiping out discrimination in
employment and in labor legislation, and
by providing decent low-cost housing.
After reviewing the campaign for
passage of a federal anti-lynching: bill
and paying tribute to the work of the
N.A.A.C.P., Senator Wagner declar-
ed
“In the face of this record, we can-
not afford, we dare not attempt to give
up the fight as won. The spirit of the

tinue’to be in position to do the least.
Need I recall to mind the blow torch
lynching of a year ago? Need I tell
you that last July, two human beings
were taken from a jailhouse by a lynch-
ing mob within a stone’s throw of a
state capitol, with no state action thus
far except the statement of a high of-
ficial that “it looks like a lot of care-
lessness here by somebody?” Need I
recount how nine months ago another
human being was shot to death with
the pistol taken from the officer sup-
posed to guard his life, while the mob
shouted: “To hell with the law?” Need

the picketing of a Washington, D. Ce,
grocery store because it did not employ
Negroes although it enjoyed a large
trade from the colored neighborhoods.
Paying tribute to the U. S. supreme

ENDEAVOR LEAGUE
Topic for July 24
Brave Men and Women
Dan. 5:1-9, 13, 25-28
' The Topic Presented
\Many people seem to think that brav-
ery belongs to soldiers who in time of
pattle carry the flag, or make an ad-
vance in the face of bullets; or to po-
;cemen who enter a building when rob-
bers are at work; or to firemen who
climb over icy roofs or up steep ladders
with flames around them.
That these are often brave deeds’
here is no doubt, but it is equally cer-
‘ain that there are-many brave persons
who never wear a uniform or march in
jarade. Their bravery is just a part
f daily living, and most of the time
s not noticed by others. For instance,
t takes a brave person to speak the
uth at a difficult time, as Daniel did.
ljustrations for the Juniors
These are typical of many which
vy be found and used in that part of
e meeting when the Juniors speak.)
One class of people who are brave
ithout being soldiers is the explorers,
d especially those who go into the
r-away polar regions. Few stories
¢ more thrilling than that of Sir Ern- | U"8¢ "Pon you to make full reports to
t Shackleton and his crew of men
vho went to the Antarctic in 1914.
Thepepeseeeetiin Bristol Hneland, of the districts who have paid on Easter
vho lived during nearly the entire nine-
centh century, and who was noted for
howing his bravery in prayer. His
ime was George Mueller, and his
mssion in life was to provide a goo
Christian home for the hundreds o:
rphan children of his- city. But the
narkable part of it was that he de-
c-mined not to beg for money and pro-
ions from the people, but to as
God to supply what was needed.
“irough long years, as fast as his pray-
rs were answered he would enlarge his
lessed work, so that by: the time
corge Mueller died, more than ten | hut became a teacher to others who
thousand orphan children had been tak-
care of in the Mueller homes, and
the money sent to him for the building important.

ianages totaled five million dollars. He

f courage to tell the whole truth at all
limes, and an equally strong courage to
refuse to take what does not belong to
us. Or when the boys are daring each
other to use foul or profane language,
it is a braye lad who faces them all
and says, “Not TI; I keep my lips clean.”
Some of the bravest people who have
cver lived have been those with sick
or lame bodies but who have carried on
day after day with cheerfulness and
victory. It is so easy to give up when
one is sick or deformed, but how much
triumph there is in overcoming it!-A

T ‘ :
here ig a fine story
at
ple of the ‘starving village themselves
to say who should receive what food
had been brought — in—which really
meant what villagers should be {eft
to starve. The vote of the village was
taken quickly and decisiyely—the food
shouldbe given to the children,
Probably if every community in the
United States should likewise be starv-
iffg and had to vote on who should
have what little food there was they
would vote as did the Russians. Situa-
tions like the above, however, are not
a whit more important that some others
confronting our nation today. Those
of us who live in New York City do not
realize how improyerished our rural
schools are becoming. The farmers,
pretty much oyer the whole nation,
are living on a slight margin and have
felt it necessary to get along with
fewer school weeks in the year, poorer
equipment in the school room, poorer
support of the teachers.
Early Training Needed
The ordinary American citizen will
tell you that the school teacher is the
last worker in the community who ought
to be let go, except the doctor. The
doctor, however, is not paid by the
State and has to take a risk of never
being paid. As to the teachers, the
general admission is that they cannot
be spared. Even those who admit this,
however, think schooling can in times
of necessity be postponed, and some
‘become critical of the schools. ~
The educational process nevertheless
cannot be postponed, and that for the
reason that basic educational processes
have to begin early in the child's life.
Suppose we should sink so low in
this recession that we should have to
shut the schools against all pupils. under
the age of 10 years. The most skillful
teachers would have a hard time of
it, trying to speed up his, or more
likely her, pupils so as to make up
the loss of those four years. The lost
years are just the ones in which time
lost can never be regained.
Fair Deal Urged
Take the mere matter of penmanship.
The pupil who. does not learn to write
easily and smoothly before he
is 10 will likely always write badly.
Or if one does not read readily and
expressively before 10 he is not likely
ever to do so. When it comes to the
finer qualities like the intelligent ap-
preciation of the beautiful, the sound
basis always has to be learned in the
earliest years. More clearly is it true
that a start toward a training in mental
alertness has to be made in the earli-
est possible years.
The problem of the school is to
direct children’s interests in the best
direction. If they are not taught to
find their way about early in their
thinking, they wilf always be at a loss.
I mention rural schools because they
are in the greatest danger of neglect.
It will be unpatriotic and inhuman in
the higher senses if country schools
do not get a fair and equitable chance
at the huge sums of money being raised
by taxation today. The nation is still
rural enough to look anxiously to its
rural education. ‘

FAITHFUL RACE FOLLOWERS
ASK AID OF ARCHBISHOP
NEW ORLEANS—(By Leon Lewis
for ANP)—Catholic New Orleans, with
which more than 60 per cent of the
city's 156,000 Negroes are classed, set
up a new custom in Southern jim—
crowing. Catholic churches, for years
the only denomination renowned for
their activity, have installed jim-crow
signs designating pews for colored and
white worshippers. Negroes desiring
to attend mass and services at these
churches must occupy back seats or
pews behind the signs.
Most shocking among these is the
Sacred Heart Church, located in a
parish 80 per cent Negro populated.
According to information received, this
church set the jim-crow precedent that
has caused a furor within the circles
of its attendants. Since fate in the 19th
century, Negroes have enjoyed the dem-
ocratic principles upon which Sacred
Heart Church won its popularity.
This is seen as a sharp and stinging
variance from those principles adhered
to by the Catholic Church and is a
breaking up of the last avenue of
worship based on the fundamental prin-
ciples of christian good-will and ‘fel-
lowship.
The reasons for establishing this poli- J:
cy of racial segregation were given in
an evasive manner and do not justify
the practice. They say, “Negroes crowd
too far to the front of the church;
they clutter all the aisles.” and other
ridiculous reasons.
This is taken as a slap at the thous-
ands of Negro Catholic whose loyalty
and support to the church of their
original faith can be traced for centu-
ries back. It has a demoralizing effect
and is psychologically and logically
out of time with the principles upon
which the church has stood.
Plans and attempts are being made
to formulate some effective attack by
petition or. mass_protest to Archbishop
Joseph Francis Rummel, whose per-
sonal attitude has~been expressive of
liberality and justice.

To our many Friends and Supporters:
We are in Washington, D. C., hard
at work; and endeavoring to bring
“the Church Extension Department-back
to its former place of usefulness to
the A. M. E. Connection.
We preached for Dr. Raymond Smith,
pastor on the Gailesville circuit twice
on the fourth Sunday. The services
were largely attended, religious fervor
ran ‘high, and collection was very
good. The first Sunday morning found
us with Dr. J. M. Harrison, Jr., the
efficient pastor at St. Paul A.M.E.
Church. The services there were very
impressive, and up to-date in every
respect. The Secretary preached at
the noon service. We preached the
first Sunday night to another enthusi-
astic audience at Brown Memorial A.
M. E. Church, of which Dr. Elbert
Beard is pastor. IT never. have in all
my life witnessed a more inspiring ser-
vice, Music for the occasion was furn-
ished by the senior, junior and gospel
choirs, the church was lighted with
varied colored candles, each female
officer was dressed in snow white;
which gave a hue that reminded me
of the story of the transfiguration on

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Address by Senator Bulkley at
Wilberforce University
It is characteristic of America to
think liberally and to look forward.
Wilberforce University is a monument
to liberal and forward-looking thought,
both in its name and in its purpose.
Rey. William Wilberforce was known
in England more than a century ago as
a liberal and humanitarian thinker and
statesman, and contributed to the
progressive thought and action of his
day. The university here named for
him was founded for the benefit .of a
race oppressed in a nation whose ideals
and principles have always been based
on liberty and the rights of man. The
founding of such an institution of high-
er learning at the time this university
was founded was itself an important
step toward the eradication of an in-
tolerable between the
fundamental and undying Principles of
our American Constitution and the ut-
ter subversion of those principles in
the unjust subjection of a race, under
the inconsistent claim that it was “in-
ferior.” Eighty years of progress have
justified the wisdom and vision of. the
founders, Bishop Daniel A. Payne,
Bishop James H. Shorter, and Prof.
John G. Mitchell.
The work of the founders have been
ably carried on by Bishop Reverdy Ran-
inconsistency
som, Bishop R. R. Wright,-and Dr,
onde Walker. It is gratifiying to
yrecall that Wilberforce University is
the leader of this movement for higher
ion in America, and that under
its management by the African Metho-
dist Episc 1 Church it has been on
a sound b fir y, while it has
also held its unquestioned position of
leadership in Christian education. The
success of this Ohio institution should
afford a definite encouragement to the
establishment. of similar
