The Rev. J. L. Butler, Sr. is at pres-

friends throughout the connection have
made inquiry, “W! t has J. L. Butler,

complished in the A. M. E. Church that
he should desire the Office of a Bishop,
and ask his church for so high an hon-
First, St. Paul says, “If a man desire

That the church, and reading public
may be informed of the splendid a-
chievements of Dr. J. L, Butler, the
following high points in his ministerial
life as Pastor and Presiding Elder are

NEGRO CHURCHES IN DETROIT
Editor, The Christian Century:
Sir: In your issue of February 9
there appeared an article under the
caption, “Who Owns the
has in mind the church of which I am
pastor, and it is in defense of this
church I send you this letter.
Our church has opened its doors to
public meetings in Detroit. It has a
large auditorium and we have felt that
we were rendering a public service. We
have had the very unpleasant experience
of hearing speakers indict, try, convict
and sentence Mr. Henry Ford and all
other industrialists from our pulpit.
While we do not deem it our duty to
conduct any defense of Mr. Ford or
other industrialists, we do not enjoy
seeing our church used as the scene of
trial and conviction and sentence, and
they never present.
We do not know of any of our mem-
bers who work at the Ford plant being
discharged or laid off because of what
has been said at any of these meetings.
If what Mr. White intimates in this
connection were true, there possibly
would be some justification for saying
that there is upon the part of Mr. Ford
and other industrialists an attempt to
control the influence of the church. but
of this we have no evidence at all. If
Mr. Donald Marshall has done what
Mr. White intimates, we certainly would
like to know it—and if Mr. White has
since the writing of his article any
proof of it, we would welcome his let-
ting us have it.
In regard to the Scottsboro Defense
Committee being refused the church be-
cause “men who were interested in the
Jabor movement were to appear on the
program,” we do not hesitate to say
that this is not true. The fact is that
the Scottsboro Defense Committee was
refused the use of the church because
we felt that the Scottsboro defense was
being promoted by communistic in-
fluences, and that the meeting would
largely be used to further communistic
propaganda. We do not hesitate to say

Sunday morning, and went to Gamaila,
where he preached a soul stiring ser-
mon, then came to Tompkinsville, Sun-
day night where he preached until
you could see God in the man And
our hearts were made to rejoice. Dr.
Hughes is the right man in the right
place.
Tompkinsville, is a small place 33
miles from the rail road, and the Pre-
siding Elders had quit coming to us,
but when good Bishop R. C. Ransom
sent this man of God to us, he said,
“the Lord willing I will be on this
Circuit four times this year. Dr. Hughes
got Bishop Ransom, to help us on our
church which greatly encouraged the
small membership and now we have

Ransom for sending Presiding Elder

A WARNING UNHEEDED
“A wise man will hear’—Proverbs 1:5
The most pathetic side to the dread-
ful tradegy of the Hindenburg was that
the disaster could have been avoided.
Dr. Hugo Eckener, a great dirigible
expert and designer and first comman-
der of the ship had repeatedly warned
the Nazi government the extreme dan-
ger of using oxygen and implored them
to substitute helium which is non-in-
flammable, although possessing less lift-
ing power, United States has a mon-
opoly on helium but had consented for
Germany to use it. However, Hitler’s
rabid spirit of nationalism so biassed
his judgement that he refused, with the
deplorable results,

telephotography.
the path of righteousness. In Jesus’
name.—Amen.
“He hath shewed thee, O man, what
| is good; and what doth the Lord re-
| quire of thee, but to do justly, and to
| love mercy, and to walk humbly with
| thy God?”
God does not require things; he re-
quires us. He begins at the center of
our being and moves outward; so that
the things that we do are motivated by
| the altar—call within. When the fires
barn brightly on the altar of the heart,
God will be given our best. Men can-
not be committed to the great call of
God until they are submitted unto His
} will. It is very easy to substitute some-
| thing else for the real personal sacri-
} fice which God requires.
| In an article entitled : “Do the church-
es Mean Business?” Richard Shep-
| pard, noted London preacher makes the
following statement: “If we are really
in earnest about the recall to religion,
; We must stand for the values that
| Jesus Christ stood for. We can’t do
that by being sentimental or even by
prayer. We can do it only by living
so far as we can, in the light of our
| Lord’s teachings and in the spirit of
| His message to mankind.”
Read Micah 6:6-8,
Prayer: Unto thee, O Lord, we
come. We give ourselves completely,
nor would we offer less than our all—

SHALL THE BIBLE BE READ?
“All scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine
for reproof, for correction, for instruc-

God may be perfect, thoroughly furn-

3:16.
The removal of Bible reading from

AN UNCERTAIN SOUND?
-
“For if the trumpet give an uncertain
sound, who shall prepare himself to
the battle?”—I Cor. 14:8.
The Religious Digest. for May con-
tains an article by James M. Spears
under the caption, “If I were a Minis-
ter” from which I shall quote: “To be
effective a minister must declare with
conviction the truth which God has
given him as a result of his own ex-
perience and careful study. There
must be nothing of uncertainty in that
declaration. His convictions must ap-
pear to his congregation to be built
out of the texture of reality. His task
is to throw light upon life as they know
it inside and outside themselves. An
old man once said that in his. youth he
had heard Jenny Lind singing, I Know
That My Redeemer Liveth, and that
the certainty and blessedness of that
‘know’ had continued to sing in his
life ever since.”
Read I John 1:3-4.
Prayer: O God, Our Heavenly Fath-
er, we bless thee, for thy great good-
ness and the knowledge of thee, which
thou dost impart. Grant us power to

It has been said that there are two

who make life easy for others; and the
people who make it harder. We «il

Rey. C. G. Scrivens, Presiding Elder.
After a spirit filled praise, Rey. C. B.
Brentley presented the Presiding Elder ;
who gave a very thoughtful and timely
address, every note of which was
optimistic and constructive; among the
many things he said was that, the
church is an absolute and indispensable
factor in our modern civilization and
holds out more possibilities for good
than any other institution
He stressed the financial obligations
of the District and laid the cause of
education on the hearts of his hearers,
Climaxing his address with the thot
of Christian service rather than self-
seeking as taught by Jesus Christ. the
Master teacher. It was a high noon-
day hour and the entire atmosphere
was permeated with the holy spirit a
blending of | ove. faith, optimism and
self forgetfulness which was felt by
all present. Following this the holy
communion was administered by the
Elder, assisted by the pastors.
Eyery pastor of the District was
present and made splendid reports,
nearly all of which were 100 per cent

dignified the Conference and made

ference throughout the session.
Dr. Potter, our Presiding
Elder, being an ex-school teacher, and
eminent
founder and editor of the Tampa
Bulletin, one of the leading~ papers
of the country, gave us one of, if not
the best programs we have ever had
with subjects modern and far reaching
which were handled with ability and
profound thought. The Conference was
enjoyable and entertaining along all
lines.
The spiritual side of the Conference
ran high—glorious sermons were de-
livered by Dr. G. J. Oats, Sr., P. E.

Bishop Grant gives the budget at the

become enthusiastic with that degree
of pride which suggests the fulfilment
of the obligation which the loyalty of

rigid handling of the friends of Ed-

that this kind of scrutiny would bal-

Seeing him in Financial action, one
wonders at his inexhaustible energy

Training in Working Together
IV. Bible Characters We Love
Ruth 1:6-1
Suggested Program
Suitable Hymns: “Dare to Be a
Daniel,” “The Lord Is My Shepherd, 1
Shall Not Want,” “I Would Be Like
Jesus,” “My Master Was a Worker.”
“Marching with the Heroes.”
Opening Sentences (unison): “OQ
come , let us worship and bow down:
let us- kneel before the Lord our mak-
er. For He is our God; and we are
the people of His pasture, and the
sheep of His hand.”
The Topic Presented
The Juniors should present and de-
scribe the Bible characters which seem
to them to have the best and most
lovable qualities, with illustrations of
how these qualities appear. In other
words, it is not enough to name a char-
acter; there must be sound and con-
vincing reason given.
In some instances the Juniors may
impersonate the character and bring
out the lessons by acting. For example,
if three girls can take the parts of Na-
omi, Ruth, and Orpah, giving the dia-
logue as recorded in Ruth 1 :6-18, with
as much of the action as can be easily
prepared, the strong points of Ruth
and Naomi may be brought out. Or,
if the several characters taking part in
the conversation and action of John
1:29-42 can be impersonated by Jun-
iors, it will have good effect.
Other possible impersonations
descriptions are:
Abraham, who was remarkable for
his simple and unwavering faith ;
Absalom, whose death caused his
father, David, great sorrow;
. David, famous as psalmist, king, and
great leader of Israel,
Christ’s ancestor ;
Elijah, prophet and reformer, who
“was carried away in a chariot of
fire;
Gideon, one of Israel’s best judges;
Joseph, faithful follower of God, who
preserved his people in Egypt;
John, the disciple whom Jesus loved;
Jonathan, friend of ‘David;
Matthew, disciple of Jesus, who left
his job to follow the Master;
Mary, the mother of Jesus;
Mary Magdalene, who had-her sins
removed by Jesus;
also as
| given by the local church to the mem- Nathan, a prophet who was not a-
fraid to tell the king about sin;
Peter, enthusiastic disciple;
Paul, courageous missionary ;
Philip, who won a Sefton: of anoth-
_er race;
Samuel, the child who was dedicated
to God; the man who was a righte-
ous leader;
Solomon, wise king of Israel;
Thomas, the disciple who doubted,
but believed when proof came;
Timothy, faithful young man who fol-
lowed Paul in the ministry ;

REVISION OF BIBLE
TO TAKE 5 YEARS
CHICAGO, May 2 (AP).—A group
of distinguished theologiaris tindertook
today a monumental five-year task of
revising the Bible to give “an official
yersion embodying the best results of
modern scholarship.”
The revision, projected by the Inter-
national Council of Religious Educa-
tion, will be the first sitce 1901, when
the American standard version was
published.
Dr, William A. Irvin, University of
Chicago, one of 12 scholars chosen to
do the work, said that revision was un-
dertaken because “some words and
phrases of the King Jatties versioit,
published in 1611, are obscure, if not
actually unintelligible, to the modern
reader.”
NEW AIR MAIL STAMPS
ISSUED MAY 1sTH
When National Air Mail Week, May
85 to 21 is held this year, a distinctive,
two-color air mail stamp will be issued
by the United States Post Office de-
partment as a special recognition of the
service done by the Air Mail Service.
The stamp first will be placed on
sale May 14 at Dayton, O., which is the
home of the Wright Brothers, who built
the first successful airplane and at St.
Petersburg, Fla., where the first pas-
senger flight was made.
Major Paul R. Younts, executive
chairman of National Air Mail Week,
announced that hundreds of’ privately-
owned airplanes will take to the air,
piloted by their owners on May, 19 to
provide a special pick up Air Mail Ser-
vice which will extend into a great
number of communities which now are
remote from the regular transconti-
nental air mail lines.
CHARLES I COINS FOUND
LONDON (UP).—A small jar con-
taining gold coins of the reigns
Charles I and James I was found by
two laborers, Arthur Little, 36 and
Henry Marshall, 25, while they were
digging in a trench on an estate at
Catford. A jury held an inquest and
declared the coins to be treasure trove.
According to custom, four-fifths of the
treasure, approximately $1300, will be
divided between the two men.

scholarship’ aid to complete their edu-
cation and prepare them more ade-
quately for the duties of adult life.
In addition to this some twenty-two
thousand are receiving instruction and
| general direction under Mrs. Bethune’s
supervision, in connection with exist-
ing institutions and socal agencies.
President Theodore Roosevelt ap-
pointed William H. Lewis of Boston, as
Assistant Attorney General of Boston,
which established a precedent which
his successors were either unable or
unwilling to follow. The assignment
of colored men as special assistants in
several departments of the government
was inaugurated by President Wilson,
during the progress of the World War.
Dr. Emmett J. Scott was made spe-
cial assistant in the War Department
and charged with the delicate and re-
sponsible task of keeping Negro senti-
ment aligned with the spirit and pur-
pose of the War. Dr. George Edmund
Haynes was given a similar assignment
in the Department of Labor. The
Bureau of Cornamerce placed a colored
man in charge of specific Negro Inter-
est. Erom these predecessors this has
become a fixed policy of the govern-
ment.
President Roosevelt has far exceeded
the limits set by his predecessors. and
placed colored men and women in
charge of Negro affairs in the depart-
ments of, Interior, Justice, Commerce,
Labor and Agriculture. In addition to
these, special Negro representatives
have been assigned to the office of
Education the National Youth Admin-
istration and the Census Office.
It is of the nature of the politician to
belittle and decry the efforts of the op-
posing party.
tics are in the habit of saying that these
Negro attaches are mere figure heads
and no function and form no positive |
racial service. All subordinate em-
ployees in the government, to employ
Roosevelt’s phraseology must have a
passion for an anonymity. There per-
sonal ambition is absorbed in the ser-
vice of the departments which they
represent. The lighted candle is placed
under a bushel. Such Negro repre-
sentatives as Ambrose Caliver of the
Bureau of Education, Eugene Kinckle
Jones of the Department of Com-
merce, Robert Weaver of the Interior
Department, Lawrence A. Oxley of the
Department of Labor, and William |'
Houston of the Department of Justice,
are rendering satisfactory and efficient
service in their several fields although
there is little advertisement of their
work in the press and on the plat-
form.
But Mrs. Bethune’s lighted candle
shines so brightly that is most need to
be placed on a candle stick and giveth
light to all who are within the house-
hold of her sphere of activity. By vir-
ture of her dynamic personality, the
director of Negro Affairs of the Na-
tional Youth Administration, was giv-
en as it were a cart blanche. An A-
nonymity and Mary McLeod Bethune
can never go together.
