As never before the CHRISTIAN RECORDER needs your support.
The present Editor and Manager has assumed a great responsibility.
He must pay for printing, wrapping, wraps, electric current, mailing,
bauling, postage, telephone, clerical help, rent for two rooms in the
Allen Building, office equipment, service for cuts, insurance, and inci-

in God. We thank the Bishops, brethren and sisters who have stood by. —
The conference season will soon be over. Under the law Allen
Day as usually observed will mean nothing now to the CHRISTIAN

Methodists all over the connection to help us in a church-wide sub.

Subscription Campaign Now On
VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE BISHOP
As never before the CHRISTIAN RECORDER needs your support.
The present Editor and Manager has assumed a great responsibility .
He must pay for printing, wrapping, wraps, electric current, mailing,
hauling, postage, telephone, clerical help, rent for two rooms in the
Allen Building, office equipment, service for cuts, insurance, and inci-
dentals. We took over “without a dime,” but like Payne, with faith
in God. We thank the Bishops, brethren and sisters who have stood by.
The conference season will soon be over. Under the law Allen
Day as usually observed will mean nothing now to the CHRISTIAN
RECORDER. Before the off-season comes we call upon loyal African
Methodists all over the connection to help us in a church-wide sub-
scription campaign. Do you love your church a dollar’s worth? Sub-
scribe, Subscribe! Get your friends, and neighbors to subscribe! Take
an offering in your church for so many subscriptions and boost your
Bishop. Prove your love for him. The connection wants to know
the most popular Bishop You will help preserve and maintain one of
our oldest institutions, the CHRISTIAN RECORDER. We must have
"10,000 new subscribers! WILL YOU HELP US?

was crowded on Monday evening, No-
yember 14th to hear the Wilberforce
‘University Singers who appeared in a
concert in which they made a fine
impression. It was the first of a series
of concerts that the singers gave in
this vicinity, and the large audience
present many of whom were former
students and graduates of Wilberforce
gave the singers a splendid reception.
