We need scholarships. It costs a-
bout $62.50 per year for board, lodging,
etc.; for a student in W ilberforce In-
stitute. We are in need of scholarships

Africa, Several nds have already
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,

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.

were made to the Alabama flood suf-
ferers and toward the rebuilding of St.
James in Cleveland, Ohio. Rev. J.
Otis Haithcox is the senior member of
the Board with 20 years service. The

Articles of Incorporation of the A. M.
E. Church. An address was made by
Judge Ormond Scott. Visitors: Bish-
ops D. H. Sims, and R. R. Wright,
Jr., General Officers L. L. Berry,

been paid regularly.

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.

GOD’S UNFAILING PRESENCE

“For the Lord thy God hath blessed
thee in all thy walking thru this great
wilderness: these forty years the Lord
thy God hath been with thee; thou hast
lacked nothing.” Deut. 2:7.

We are quick and prone to think that
the blessings we have received have
come by our own ingenuity and person-
al achievement. I am not saying that
we cannot enhance our lot, many times,
by thrift, ambition. and hard work; but
we ought not to lose sight of the fact
that in every achievement, it is the
power and presence of God that per-
mits us to attain it.

We are often like a small child, who
missing his mother, calls out for her,
only to find that she was standing near
all the time: Brother Lawrence won the
attention of religious people in all ages,
his day, by what he called:
“Practicing the Presence of God.”

When I was a small boy, the class
room used to ring with a song, I do not
hear very often in our day: “No never
alone,—No never alone, He promised
never to leave me—Never to leave me
alone.”

Prayer: We believe Thy word: “In
all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
ghall direct Thy path.” Strengthen us
in Jesus’ name. Amen

since

“And when ve had girded on every
man his weapons of war, ye were ready
to go up into the hill.” Deut. 1:41,
Read Psalm 59.

The children. of Israel sinned against
the Lord because they would not go up
and possess the land. Sins of omission
are often more grievous than those of
comtmission. There was a battle on, and
here we find them sitting down and
complaining, rather than siezing their
weapons to fight. However, when they
acknowledged their transgressions and
determined to fight, according to God's
command, then it was, that every man
girded on his weapons of war.

The church of this day needs men and
women who are ready for the Lord's
work, Unpreparedness for the work at
hand, is the bane of our church life. It
is not that we have not plenty men and
women, capable of doing effective work,

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

Now therefore hearken, O Israel, un-
to the statutes and unto the judge-
ments, which I teach you, for to do
them, that ye may live, and go in and
possess the land which the Lord God of
your fathers giveth you.” Deut. 4:1.
Read Exodus 20.

Aeschylus said; “Obedience is the
mother of success, and is wedded to
safety.”

George Eliot, that woman of keen
insight, said: “It is vain thought to flee
from the work that God appoints us,
for the sake of finding a greater bless-
ing, instead of seeking it where alone it
is to be found in loving obedience.”

Every man who has achieved any
high degree of eminence has some ad-
vice for success. The admonition Moses

gave to the Israelites 1 t

guaranteed to them success. no}
enougl, to hearken unto the statutes
and judgements; but we must hearken

“for to do them.” The promise is that
“ye may live, and go in and possess the
land,” but the condition is that we must
hearken “for to do them.” Too many

i ie beauty of hole
ness has done more, and will do More, ¢
regenerate the world and bring in re ¢

of us are stressing the promise, but are
failing to observe the secret of it.

Prayer: We have learned from thy
Holy Writ that obedience is better than
sacrifice. Forgive our disobedience, O
Holy Father, and grant that we may
ever be true to Thee and thy command.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Wednesday, May 11
COMMANDMENTS:

“Now these are the commandments,
the statutes, and the judgements, which
the Lord your God commanded to
teach you, that ye might do them in the

| land whither ye.go to possess it.” Deut.

6:1. Read Deut. 6:4-8,

One of the favorite passages of Abra-
ham Lincoln was the 19th Psalm. “The
law of the Lord is perfect, converting
the soul: the testimony of the Lord is
sure, making wise the simple. The
statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing
the heart: the commandment of the
Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The
fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for
ever: the judgements of the Lord are
true and righteous altogether.”

As much as we chafe under restraints,
and abhor commands; we must recog-
nize their place in our lives. There is
a strong tendency to throw overboard,
in our day, all of those commandments
and restraints that have come down the
ages, and have met the test of time.
One such is, for instance, monogamy. A
civilization or individual that attempts
to destroy it, is digging the very foun-
dation from beneath its feet.

What place the commandments of
God were to hold in the life of the Is-
-aelites is shown by Deut. 6:4-6. Would
to God that we would do likewise.

Prayer: Thy commandments are not
grievous, O Lord. Thy way is best.
When we, self-willed and disobedient,
would turn from thy time honored law
and violate thy commandments, brings
us back to the recognition of Thee. In

HOLY PEOPLE

“For thou art an holy people unto the
Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath
chosen thee to be a special people un-
to himself, above all people that are up-
on the face of the earth.” Deut. 7:6.
Read I Peter 115-23.

Someone has said: “Blessed is the
memory of those who have kept them-
selves unspotted from the world. Yet
nore blessed and more dear the memory
of those who have kept themselves un-
spotted Tithe world.”

Church members, especially they of
our own persuasion, must never forget
the words in our ritual for full mem-
bership. “Among its (the Church)
privileges are: peculiar incitements to
holiness from hearing God’s word.”

Among the questions asked of a
preacher, who has been on trial in the
annual conference for two years, before
he is admitted into full membership,
are these three, to which he is expected

-hood.”

"My mother's God today-ts mine:

lasting righteousness than all the othe
agencies put together. It has done na .
to spread religion ‘in the world, than Hi
that has ever been preached or Written
on evidences of Christianity.”
Prayer: “Lord, I want to be
holy, in my heart.” Amen.

Wh (i
FALSE PROPHETS
ee

“Thou shalt not hearken unto the
words of that prophet, or that dreamer
of dreams: for the Lord your Gog
proveth you, to know whether ye love
the Lord your God with all your hear
and with all your soul.” Deut. 13.3,

When the late Barnum said that the
American people loved to be fooled,
‘he was not far wide of the truth. In
no other realm, do men seem to cherish
false doctrine and false teachers than
in the realm of religion. In no other
field is there greater temptation for

GRIPS WITH THE LESSON
By Albert Buckner Coe

Ve are spending this quarter in a
ssion of service as suggested in
life and éxperience of Jesus. The
Vice we speak of is a religiously
vated service, not a sociologically
tivated service. The February “Fed-
| Council Bulletin” has this pertinent
tement: “There was a time when
chief emphasis of the ‘social gospel’
‘roll up your sleeves, get busy and

When we speak of service we

i service prompted by the

this lesson there are at least three

uggestions for the most effective
iservice. 1. We must give and not
count the cost. Jesus again told the
disciples that his death was approach-
ing. They had\heard the statement be-
fore from Jesus, but knew not his mean-
ing. At leat in their ignorance they
were either becoming callous to it or
‘they did not want to face up to the
fact. The disciples were human beings
who wanted to serve, but were loath
to pay the price of service. We want
Peace among the nations today, but we
want more the things that make for
war. We might stop the present war
in the Far East by stopping the ship-
ment of war material such as scrap iron,
oil and even cotton, but we do not want
to give up our trade. We might favor
the loyalists in Spain, but we still send
munitions to the rebels because we don’t
want to give up our trade. When Je-
‘sus talks of losing his life he is sug-
gesting in one way that we lose
economically for the sake of peace.,

2. If we would serve effectively and
be great we must lose ourselves in the
task before us. The disciples were
talking along the road about greatness.
Jesus said: “If any man would be first
he shall be last of all, and servant of
all.” True greatness is measured by
unselfish service. Recall the words in
John: “And Jesus, knowing that he
came from God and went to God, girded
himself with a towel and went about
washing his disciples’ feet.” Think of
it! Royalty washing feet! But Jesus
in this way demonstrated his idea of
“veatness.

‘3. If we would serve we must be
tolerant—tolerant of the gifts of others
however those gifts may differ from
ours. Jesus would have the disciples
tolerant of “the one casting out demons
in thy name.” Rather than drive this
one away “because he followed not
us” Jesus would give him credit for
sensitiveness and helpfulness. Per-
haps later he would be led to follow
a brighter star. f

There is always hope of winning a
man when he has not pronounced him-
self against us. “For he that is not
against us is for us.”

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
TO DATE

By John R. Ewers

In Boston I saw one of the best
hocky games in the Country. Coopera-
tion was the key to success. No one
man can win a hocky game alone.
Stars there are, but teamwork brings
victory. Christians could learn much
from an analytical study of football.
The team performs as a whole, or if a
star is to have his chance, the entire

outfit cooperates to help him. Usually

the carrier of the ball gets over the goal
line because his teammates have block-

led out the opposition.

In this lesson we see how the inex-
perienced disciples sought to check co-
operation. They found men trying to
do good and in the name of Christ, but
because these workers had never identi-
fied themselves with the inner group
of Jesus’ particular followers, they for-
bade them. The Master’s answer was
significant: “He that is not against us
is for us.” It is a great hour when it
dawns upon us that goodness is all of

THE WAY THE CHURCH
DOES BUSINESS

“One of the greatest evidences
that the church is God’s institu-
tion and that He watches over it
is shown by the shabby waythat
the church does business and yet
survives. No other business in
the world would survive six
months the way the church does
business.”

The quotation above was given
the writer by Presiding Elder H.
H. Cooper of Philadelphia. He
remembers having heard a speak-
er make the utterance a few years
ago. The unvarnisht truth has
been spoken and is too often ap-
plicable to our local societies, Dis-
trict and Annual Conferences, ed-
ucational institutions, Boards, De-
partments, and our general finan-
cial operation. The worthy broth-
er who desires to talk about right-
eous economies, and the introduc-
tion of business methods into the
church will either be denied the
floor or he will lose it on a “point
In the meantime the
fact cannot be denied that the
church needs a budget, expert ac-
counting, the climination of dupli-
cation, and a seeking out of the

“TOO MANY NEGROES”

Mississippi’s State Senate on
Tuesday approved by a vote of
24 to 14, a bill requiring college
>xecutives to give students all jobs
available that they could and
accept. The bill goes
further, however, by declaring
that college heads who don’t
give students first choice, will
be subject to a stiff fine and
imprisonment. vies

In sponsoring the bill, Senator
Alton Massey told his colleagues:

“We've got too many Negroes
and others working around col-
leges doing jobs that the college
boys could do to earn their way
through college.”

And so, hereafter, Negro jani-
tors and employees who have ac-
quired some degree of learning
through association and working
at college, but who are not stu-
dents, must give up their jobs to
the college boys. And so will

Il. Pictures We Love
Matt. 13:3-9

rogram Suggestions—

This meeting will seck to provide for
the Juniors the following things:

1. Appropriate worship, inspired by
the theme of the picture, or the truth it
reaches.

2. How to discover beauty and merit
Gn a picture. 3. How to determine
Wwhether a picture is great. 4. What
loes a picture teach? 5. What does,a
good picture inspire Juniors to do?
The superintendent and leader should
arefully work out in advance the pre-
sentation of several well-known pictures
wvith these several goals in mind. Then
the Juniors who speak of their own
favorites should follow the same process
Pand use the same standards. Thus:

J Sir Galahad, standing at ease beside
Ehis beautiful white horse, is the perfect
representation of a strong and purpose-
ful youth. The painter of this beautiful
picture (Watts) was as much a teacher
as he was an artist. He said of himself,
“My intention has not been so much to
paint pictures that charm the eye, as to
suggest great thoughts that will appeal
Pto the imagination and the heart, and
kindle all that is best and noblest in hu-
manity.”

Sir Galahad does this. The youth is
portrayed as we would expect him to
be, for he was the noblest and purest
Pknight of the Round Table. In the early
centuries
knights around the table with the Holy
Grail in the midst, leaving one seat
vacant as that which the Lord had oc-
cupied and which was reserved for a
descendant of Joseph of Arimathea
named Galahad. When men became sin-
ful, the Holy Grail disappeared, and
i though all men sought for it, only the
pure Sir Galahad could bring it back.

‘All this strength of character is to be
seen in Watts’ lovely picture. The shin-
ing armor and the white horse reflect
the light of the sun to the serious face
of the young man. Earnestness, medi-
tation, worship. preparation, courage,
"and purity all leap out of the picture in-
“to our minds, And with Sir Galahad’s
Vinfluence in a room, or by a study table,
"one could wish only to do the best deeds
and to think the noblest thoughts.

Il. Christ Among the Doctors is a
second picture that illustrates the best.
The artist, Heinrich Hofmann, had an
“unusual ability to transfer the strong
features of the boy Jesus to the canvas.
‘Taken from the larger painting and en-

years. He was sent from Pittsboro to
Halifax, N. C., serving two years. His
third appointment was to a_ point

*| known as Magnolia, where he remain- ;

ed but three months, having been sent
by Bishop John M. Brown to Marion,
S. C. pastoring St. John Church for
three years. -His following appoint- |
ments were: Presiding Elder of the

Marion District for a short time, and

from that district to the Charleston

District for one year, and then to
Emanuel Station for four years. He

was appointed to the Edisto District

which he served only a term, Bishop

B. W. Arnett returned the Rev.

Nichols to Emanuel Church to build

the present structure at a_ cost of

$60,000.

Dr. Nichols was next made Presid-
ing Elder of the Georgetown District
for five years, carrying the Dollar
Money from $750 to $1600. Bishop A.
Grant appointed him to Morris Brown
where he gave four years of very ef-
service. Bishop Wesley J.
Gaines placed this successful pastor
over the Charleston District for a five
years term. Under this “silver tongucd
orator” this district became one of the
leading districts of the connection.

The sainted Bishop B. F. Lee re-
turned Dr. Nichols to Morris Brown
Church for a second administration
where he remained five years, bringing
the membership up to 3,000. Dr.
Nichols again went back to the George-
town District under Bishop L. J. Cop-
pin, and after serving out his time, was
given the supervision of the Kingstree
District. After remaining for cight
years he was again returned to the
Georgetown District, where after eight
years untiring travel, he left the dis-
trict in good condition. It was Bish-
op R. C. Ransome who appointed Dr.
Nichols to the Edisto District where in
his seventh year of service, death laid
his hand on this soldier of many bat-
tles and carried him to the Heaven of
Rest.

Rev. L. R. Nichols was a preacher
of unusual ability, gifted with the pow-

ficient

er to move souls of saints and stir sin-
ners to repentance. Thousands of
people were brought into the kingdom
of grace through the persuasive elo-
quence of this hero of the cross of
Christ who fell in the midst of battle.
Rev. Lewis Ruffin Nichols was one of
those ministers who could return again
and again to the same charge and
preach the acceptable year of the Lord
in the midst of a broad’ welcome of
many glad hearts who would flock to
hear him proclaim the gospel in his own
peculiar style.

Dr. Nichols was a trustee and
friend of Allen University thru all its
useful history.

It is possible that there was no other
minister living who sixty-eight
years of active service to the Christian
ministry.

PROGRESS

A wide gulf separates the mod-
ern funeral director from the
“undertaker” of fifty years ago.
Today we have a highly trained
professional man, using all the
advanced methods of science and

offering a multitude of services
which were never expected of his
predecessor. As the result of
this advancement, the public re-
ceives protection and comfort in
a time of great need. _ ey

poses $358.28.
