BISHOP J. S. FLIPPER
BISHOP FLIPPER SAYS BRYANT
1S OKAY, SAYS HEADS
ARE WRONG. ~
(By Southern Negro Press)
ATLANTA, Ga,—Because he refus-
ed to serye as president of the board of
the -A.M.E. Sunday School Union
does not mean that he is not with Ira
T. Bryant, Bishop Flipper, senior Bish-
op_of the church, stated in an interview
at his home this week.
Regarding the law suit which Bishop
Monroe Davis brought against Mr.
Bryant to recover the Sunday School
Union property at Na ashville, Bis
Flipper says: he is taking no part.
Tra Kia Bryant is the best man in the
A.M.E. Church, the senior bishop
site “He is honest and he has~not
published any lies about the bishops.
lf they are lies, why don’t they sue
him?
“The reason I refused to. serve on
the bdard as president is because the
bishops including myself asked to have
the Sunday School Union charter
changed. At present, and under the
present charter’ the A.M.E. Church
lias nothing to do with the election of
secretary-treasurer of the Union. The
board elects him. We voted in 1924
to change that charter, and it hasn’t
been changed is why I refused to serve
the board as president.
_ -“However, this has nothing to do
with my friendship for Mr. Bryant.
He is absolutely right in his fight. At
the general conference he put up no
fight to be re-elected because the
church couldn't re-elect him. I told
Selby at the General Conference after
his clection that if he got in at Nash-
ville ‘the: courts’ would put him in,

In studies on anemic dogs it was
found that these radioactive iron atoms,
serving as tracers of absorption of iron
in the body, entered the blood plasma
and later the red blood cells: Six
hours was all that was needed to show
first evidences of this absorption and
by the end of three days virtually all
the absorbed iron was in the protein
of the blood cells.
In contrast in the case of non-anemig
dogs, there was practically no absorp.
tion of the iron into the blood plasma
and cells. This is, therefore, the key to
rapid diagnosis. ;
Participatings in the experiment
were Dr. P. Hahn and Professor G.
H. Whipple, of the University of Ro-
chester and scientists of Professor E.
O. Lawrence’s laboratory at the Uni-
versity of California.

Port Lokkoh is a town with a popu-

made on the ground under the super-
vision of the pastor, Rev. P. A. Hope.
(The walls of “this building were about
five feet high all around, at the time
of my visit. About five hundred blocks
were on the ground.) This will be a
building with a seating capacity of
around 500 persons. There is nothing
extravagant in the plans. The drawing
shows conservative and yet artistic
lines. This building should be cém-
pleted as carly as possible. It. will
mean much in strengthening our work
in Liberia by restoring conficence in

We have in Liberia twenty-two
preaching points. Our principa! schools
are located at Harper, Cape Palmas,
Grand Basso and Lower Buchanan.
Reverend W. T. White, a very capable
and intelligent minister who has charge
of the schools there and who
elder of the Cape Palmas
District, represented us in holding the
approxi-

munity is dominated by the, Moham-

friendly toward the African Methodist
Episcopal Church,, (having ‘ attended
the boys’ industrial school in Freetown,
in his youth). Reverend I. C. Steady,

Concerning our work in the Republic
of Liberia, it is known that the building
erected under the administration of the
late Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, is
being used by the Government of Li-
beria for school purposes under arrange-
ment made with our missionary de-
partment. It was ‘promised at the
meeting of the Executive Board of the
