HE NEEDS OF THE SOUTH
AFRICAN WORK

nt

ee

By Bishop R. R. Wright

Every where Mrs. Wright and I have
been, friends have asked the questions,
“What do you need in South Africa,”
and “What can we doz”

tically everything.” It is indeed kind
of our friends to be so greatly interest-
ed in our work, and if they knew how
far just a little will go, they would help
more, For example, a lady had a very
good Victrola she had not used for
many years. She said to a friend, bet
hate to throw this away, but I have
not used it since we put in the radio,
and it is just in the way.” Her friend
said, “Why not give it to Bishop
Wright for South Africa? And she
did, And it gave her great joy. It
furthermore gave her a new interest
in her people across the seas, and she
felt better for having given something.
President Walker of Wilberforce
University said, “We will give you
twelve study lamps for Wilberforce In-
i stitute, South Africa.” And others
haye promised. 3

FACING THE FACTS
By J. P. Q. Wallace

A deal of dissatisfaction is being ex-
pressed in every section of the church
growing out of the Jaw that was passed
at the last General Conference, which
states that each Annual Conference is
entitled to only three ministerial and
three lay delegates.

I think all fair minded people will ad-
mit that this is not an equitable repre-
sentation, but it is the law and as a
Christian organization, we have no oth-
er alternative than to obey it.

It ought to teach us a lesson that
there is more to do at a general con-
ference than to elect bishops, general
officers and get a draw on the church
treasury.

Those who claim that the law did not
pass, missed that part of the day's pro-
ceedings. They may have had person-
al business to look after, or perhaps,
may have been out at a caucus, scheem-
ing to put through some thing against
the will of the body.

I hope and pray that the day will

We answer, “Really, we need prac- |

come when tricks and ungodly schem-
es will be put aside among the ~dele-
gates, and when the choir wilt rule,
without bias, prejudice or favor—‘He
that ruleth over man must be Just.”

I feel as many others do that the

law ought to be repealed and a more
equitable one legislated.
To find fault, and not give a remedy
ig to multiply dissension. So as I do
not like the law, 1 am hereby giving my
remedy.

I think that the basis on which the
number of delegates from an annual
conference should be computed, should
be based on the number of full mem-
bers recorded in the various churches
in the bounds of the said annual con-
ference, and we should also consider
the financial ability as expressed in the
amount of dollar money raised by an
annual conference.

I. Numerical Strength.

Each Annual Conference should be
entitled to two ministerial and two lay
delegates. Conferences having more
than 3000 members shall be entitled to
an extra delegate both ministerial and
lay for each additional 1500, or a frac-
tion of 1500 over 750 members.
Financial Strength: Each Annual
Conference raising $5000.00 per annum
or $20,000.00 for the quadrennium, shall
be entitled to elect one extra minister-
jal and one lay delegate, also.

Each Annual Conference raising sev-
en thousand ‘$7,000.00) or over per
annum or $28,000.00 during the quad-
rennium shall elect two additional min-
isterial and two additional lay dele-
gates.

Such a law would do much to con-
serve our membership which is so
shamefully neglected, It will also add

Now is the time for us to ponder our
problems. We had better pay more at-
tention to the lawful needs of our
church, and less to candidates. Read
carefully what Atty. Dudley says: who
writes, as secretary of the committee on
abstracts and charters. yes, and there
are other lawful problems, which we
shall soon face.

I would suggest further, as we make
our college presidents, deans, and reg-
ular U. S. Army Chaplain delegates.
Why not make our old experienced
‘ministers who have been a member of

our general conference for thirty or
more years—consccutively, delegates?
lf the college presidents, and
army chaplains are valuable _ assets.
Why not the wisdom and the experi-
ence of these old heroes who have been
members of general conferences eight
or more sessions, not a &reat asset al-
s0? This would include such men as
the sainted father Nichols of South
Carolina who was recently laid to rest.

UNITY IN CHRIST

“{5 Christ divided?” — I Cor. 1:13.

Read L Cor. 1:13-17.

Thomas Carlyle said; “Men’s hearts
sught not to be set against one another,
but set with one another, and all a-
gainst evil only.” It is not an uncont-
mon thing to see, even today, in
churches men and women arrayed a-
sinst each other, many times several

factions within the samé church, all
same Christ. Where
the spirit of Christ is manifest, there

will be

harmony and fellowship, rather

than strife and division,

THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD

“But God hath revealed them unto
us by His Spirit: for the Spirit search-
eth all things, yea, the deep things of
God."—1 Cor, 2:10.

Read I Cor, 2:9-12,

Moffatt translates this verse: “And
God has revealed it to us by the Spirit,
for the Spirit fathoms everything, even
the depths of God.” We are living in
a marvelous world, a world that tho it
harbors nature “red with tooth and
claw,” also reveals a loving Heavenly
Father intensely concerned about His
children. Browning has said; “This
world’s no blank for us, nor blot, it
means intensely, and it means good, to
find its meaning is my food and drink.”
Too many of_us stumble thru life with-
out ever knowing its meaning, We

SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT

“But the natural man receiveth not
the things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither
can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned. —I Cor. 2:24.

Read I Cor. 2:14-16.

Professor Goodspeed very beautifully
translates this passage: “A material
(unspiritual) man will not accept what
the Spirit of God offers. It seems mere
folly to him, and he cannot understand
it, because it takes spiritual insight to
see its true value.” Whenever I hear
men who, because of superior training
or lack of it, sneer at the Baptism of
the Holy Spirit, or even the Wesleyan
doctrine of a second definite work of
grace, I think of the words of Mase-
field in “The Everlasting Mercy.”

“For while the Plough tips round the
Pole

The trained mind outs the upright
soul,

As Jesus said the trained mind might,

Being wiser than the sons of light,

But trained men’s minds are spread so
thin

They let all sorts of darkness in;

Whatever light man finds they doubt it,

They love, not light, but talk about it.”

“But the spiritual man is alive to all
true values, but his own true value no

unspiritual man can see. For who has | gether in ‘the service of the King of

ever known the Lord’s thoughts, so

that he can instruct him? But we share , too much
to us and around us serve to muddle us the thoughts of Christ.’—(Goodspeed ee 8

WHO OWNS YOU?>

“Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.”

When our labors are attended with
success, we are prone to forget that it
is not thru our own power or strength
that we have accomplished, Not “I”
but “we.” Let us not be so easily in-
clined to discount the work of others,
either our predecessors Or our asso-
ciates. It is not important as to who
does the work; the significant thing is
who makes the growth.

How often do you meet with people
who are completely out of joint in
God’s service, because they have felt
that their labors have not been accord-
ed the proper recognition. They com-
plain: “I did this, and I did that. Look
what I did.” They are wholly unmind-
ful of the words of the text: “So then
neither is he that planteth any thing,
neither he that watereth: but God that
giveth the increase.”

Prayer; Dear Lord, Father of Our
Saviour, Jesus Christ, we thank Thee
that all things come from Thee. What-
ever success that Thou dost give to our
labors brings us great joy. We pray
earnestly that Thou wilt ever keep us
mindful of the fact that Thou alone can
bring success to our toils and crown our
labors. Amen.

“And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is
God's.” —I Cor. 3:23.

Read I Cor. 3:12-23.

In a quiet hour address at our dis.
trict missionary convention, Dr. G. L.

out a clear distinction between a man's
haying religion and religion having a
man. Said he: Everybody has som
kind of religion. When one has re-
ligion ‘he might lay it aside at a con-
¥enient moment, but when religion pos
sesses us we cannot belong to ourselyes
but unto God. »

Paul said: “You belong to Christ.”
With him, the Christian way of living
was a way of complete surrender «
a merging of one’s will and way into
that of Christ’s. Christ is all in all
When we belong to Him, all of our
deeds are guided by what we feel will
please Him.

In the same talk of Rev. Hayden's
he gave a quotation from Henry Dri
mond which I secured and pass on to
you for what it is worth. “God is all
for quality. men for quantity, but the
immediate need of the world at t
moment is not more of us, but, if I
may use the expression, a better bra
of us: -To secure ten men of an
proved type would be better than
we had ten thousand more of the aver-
age Christians distributed all over the
world.”

‘Prayer: Dear Father God, we than
Thee that Thou hast given us the
privilege of belonging to Christ. May all

FELLOW-LABOURERS

“For we are labourers together with
God.” —I Cor. 3:9.
Read Romans 12.
Our country is noted for its love of
competitive sports. With the begin-
ning of the baseball season, millions of
people turn out to watch the team.
Frequently a coach is compelled to
bench a very fine player because he
does not possess the “team spirit.” He
is so filled with a sense of his own im-
portance that he sacrifices the good of
the whole group in order to stand out
conspicuously; the result being that he’
lessens both his own effectiveness and
that of his fellow-players.

We Christians are engaged in the
most sublime enterprise in all the world.
Christian service beggars any compar-
ison as to its need and place in the
world. What a thought! We work to-

Weekly Thought

Besides theology, music is the only
art capable of affording peace and joy
of the heart like that induced by the
study of the science of divinity. The
proof of this is that the Devil, the
originator of sorrowful anxieties and
restless troubles, flees before the sound
of music almost as much as he does be-
fore the Word of God. This is why the
prophets preferred music before all the
other arts, proclaiming the Word in
psalms and hymns... - My _ heart,
which is full to overflowing, has often
been solaced and refreshed by music
when sick and. weary.

—Martin Luther

Ta little patterned lines; she has no

She has achieved her measure of suc-

She cannot read—yet she is passing

WHAT DO OUR BISHOPS
THINK

The bishops are natural leaders
in an. episcopal form of church
government. The African M. E.
Church is no exception, but a
glaring example. The charge is
frequently made that the supreme
interests of our bishops is in their
respective districts, holding an-
nual conferences and promoting
financial campaigns. It is held that
they have little or no concern for
the social implications of the gos-
pel or what transpires around
them. Questions have been raised
with reference to their attitude
toward the emergence and drive
of Facism, Naziism, and the totali-
tarian state in which Jews, Ne-
and non-Aryans are op-
posed by ruthless dictators. What
of communism, its attitude toward
the church,
labor,

groes

organised religion,
and the race problem?
What do our bishops as a group
have to tell us about war, the
greatest collective sin of our day?
What of the profit métif in a
capitalistic society ? What do they
asa group think?

To be sure satan has yet to fall
like lightning from heaven and
Daniel’s unhewn stone to roll
down the side of the mountain.
Speak bishops,—with reference to
politics, industry, and labor, in
the name of Him who came that
men might have life and peace in
the earth. One million African
Methodists await your word in
a world of war, rapine, rank injus-
tice, where minority groups are
opprest, kingdoms are fallimg and
religious freedom threatened.
Speak. We read the ancient Apos-
tles Creed but what is our present
day Social Creed? -

BISHOPS AS FRATERNAL
MESSENGERS

From one of their official or-’
gans we find that the Board of
Bishops of the A. M. E. Church
has selected two of their number.
for fraternal messengers to ap-
proaching General Conferences
of other bodies. Wevdo not recall
a bishop of the white race serv-
ing in that-capacity. The Metho-
dist bodies of the white race rare-
ly, if ever, even send one of their
white ministers as a fraternal
messenger to a General Confer-
ence of Negro Methodists. Zion
may be justly accused of doing
the same thing in time past, that
we call attention to here; even so
that does not make it in keeping

ALLEN A. M. E. CHURCH
17th & Bainbridge Streets
Philadelphia, Pa.

The Third Quarterly Conference of
Allen A. M. E. Church was held
March 15th, having been postponed
because of the absence of the Presiding
Elder, Rev. H. H. Cooper, who was in
attendance at the Bishop's Council in
Montgomery, Alabama, together with

the pastor of the church, Rev. J-
Winsmore Mason. After an inspira~ ,
tional service of devotions conducted

by the pastor, the Presiding Elder, Dr.
Cooper took charge.

Miss Hester Parker was elected Sec-
retary. The spiritual condition ot the
church is developing. It is a decided
fact that the church is moving on as
evidenced by the Steward’s report that
twenty-two souls were added to the
church, twelve of whom were taken
into full membership, and the remain-
ing ten are on probation. Or the pro-
bationers six are converts and four are
from other denominations. We also
had six deaths this quarter.

Our pastor, Rev. J. Winsmore Ma-
son’s greatest ambition is directed to-
ward the saving of souls of more men
for the Kingdom of God, and we be-
lieve that under such dynamic leader-
ship Allen A. M. Ey Church will suc-
ceed. Rey. Cooper, our beloved Pre-
siding Elder, in his official capacity is
as a good father, who advises his chil-
dren at all times to walk in the fear

and admonition of God.

number of conversions and many ad-

that taxed the seating capacity of the

promised scholarships. Correspon-
dents be u and your African
protege mt not only for
spreading Chri knowledge and
principle, but will also do much to
quicken spiritual interests and

broaden the personality of the person
who helps.

Medical Clinic

Our great need is the Medical Clinic
we hope to establish the community.
Here we have over 10,000 Natives, but
no doctor and no health service. The
death rate is far too high. Sickness is
too frequent and prolonged. And the
deaths of innocent babes are frightful.

It costs $15 to get a doctor to come out
And most of the men do not
make $15 in a whole month, and wo-
men do not make $15 in six months.
We propose a building of 6 rooms, two
nurses, a supervising physician, yand
a liberal supply of medicine, ete. We
shall especially concentrate on pre-
natal care of mothers and try to cut
down the death rate of infants.

Jesus said, “I am come that they
might ;have life, and that they might
have it more abundantly.” Our church
has for forty years sent evangelists,
and built churches to give African
spiritual life, and we; have 1,100 preach-
ing places in South Africa today, show-
ing that we have been most anxious for
the AFRICAN’S ;SOUL. We started
almost the same time to help in The
INTELLECTUAL LIFE of the South
African, by building Bethel Institute,
in Cape, Town, Wilberforce Institute in
Transvaal, Emily Vernon Institute in
Basutoland. And we have today 79
schools and over 12,000 pupils, showing
our interest in the, AFRICAN’S MIND.
But we have not done anything sys-
tematic for the South African’s PHY-
SICAL LIFE. Now, with this ;medical
clinic at Wilberforce, we start the first
movement to complete the triangle of
Christian service to the ,African’s
SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY, in that
we shall try to ameliorate human suf-
fering, reduce physical death, and pro-
long human life, It will be a cause of
great rejoicing when we complete and
equip the medical ,clinic, We hope to
dedicate it on Christmas Day 1938. We
shall start to build as soon as I return,

Sunday, April 17, Easter Services at
Grant A, M, E. Church, Rey..J. We
Wright, pastor, began with an early
morning sunrise service at six a.m.

The eleyen o'clock service was in-
spiring to all who attended. The church
was a touching scene, beautifully deco-
rated with palms, Easter lillies, and
other flowers. The Junior Choir newly
gowned were looking their best, and
how they did sing those lovely Easter
Hymns. Truly the Resurrection life and
power of our Risen Lord was greatly
felt. Hearts were touched, souls in-
spired, discouraged ones were en-
couraged, the bereaved found comfort.
Hearts rejoiced in the Resurrection
atmosphere in Grant A. M. E. As
Christians we should at this time give
more thought to the real significance
of the oceasion, and to the bearing of
our own individual crosses with forti-
tude. Thirty-six children communed at
this service, and one infant Christened.

GOD CALLS RACE TO PRAYER

Not since the days of slavery has the
race put over a program with prayer.
Family altar in our homes, for God’s
protection and guidance, that we have
left off. Many of our homes are de-
stroyed by divorces; children have gone
astray; our businesses have failed;
churches and ministers have lost the
major part of their influence for good.

God calls you back to fasting and
prayer. Will you join the many who
are praying at 12 o'clock in the day for
things which the race needs, such as
better homes. churches, schools, cities,

race and nation? We are also asking
for testimonies of answer to prayer that
we might establish a prayer union for
the} race.
