BERMUDA CONFERENCE HOLDS
52nd ANNUAL SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION
Allen Temple A.M.E. Church, Som-
erset was on Thursday, Sept. Ist, the
scene of a large gathering of young
people, Sunday School workers, and
the ministers of the District who met
in their Annual Convention Sessions
of the Sunday School. y
The Rey. B. A. Galloway, Presid-
ing Elder of the District, presided, as-
sisted by the District Superintendent
of the Sunday Schools, Mr. A. Cope-
land Simmons. A sight delightful to
behold was the large number of Teen-
age Delegates from the several schools,
many of whom helped in the Devotional
Exercises, lining hymns, reading the
scriptures, and leading in prayer.
Preaching on the subject “The A-
bundant Life,” the Presiding Elder, Dr.
Galloway, who is regarded as the
leading race orator on the island, de-
livered a most helpful, inspiring and
educative sermon, which cannot but be
productive of much good to his hear-
ers. Some well prepared, instructive
and illuminating Essays, all provocative
of much thought and consideration
were read by the youthful delegates. |
The subjects were “What in your opin-
ion ought to be the aim of all Sunday
School work.?? 2nd “What effect
would disloyalty on the part of the
teacher have on the Scholars?” 3rd,
“How’ does the use of Intoxicants ef-
fect the morals of our Communities?”
4. “What is Christian Education: Its
Co-operative effect on the Home and
School?” The discussions which fol-
lowed the reading of each of these

23:1 Jehovah is*my shepherd ; T shall
not want. ;
> He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures; Nast
He leadeth me beside still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul.
i He guideth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the val-
ley of the shadow of death,
| will fear no evil; for thou art with
me; 6
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort
me,
Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies:
Thou hast anointed my head with
oil;
My cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and.lovingkindness
shall follow me all the days of my
life;
And I shall dwell in the house of
Jehovah for ever.
7:1 Jehovah is my light and my sal-
vation ;
Whom shall I fear?
Jehovah is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil-doers came upon me to
eat up my flesh,
Eyen mine adversaries and my foes,
they stumbled and fell.
3 Though a host should encamp a-
gainst me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war should rise against me,
Even then will I be confident.
4 One thing have I asked of Jehovah,
that will I seek after:
That I may dwell in the house of
Jehovah all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of Jehovah,
And to inquire in his temple.
For in the day of trouble he will
keep me secretly in his pavilion:
In the covert of his tabernacle will
he hide me;

By William Chalmers Covert
May we, O God, sing our faith in
songs of ardent hope and expectation.
May we read of Thy shepherding care
of Thy children in ages past and rise
with a confidence that no passing dark-
ness or peril can frustrate. Forgive
our dull and lagging responses as we
take Thy goodness and mercy all the
days of our lives. May our hearts be
He will lift me up upon a rock.
© And now shall my head be Sifted up
above mine enemies round about
me ; F
And I will offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will- sing praises
unto Jehovah.

shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

How representative it all is; A great
man who failed to live up to his boy-

fine story of the old man walking in
a meadow who was approached by an
apple-cheeked boy, who for a moment
gazed upon him with wide eyes and
then broke into sobbing? “Who are
you?” asked the man and “Why do
you weep?” “Tam your own boyhood,”
was the reply, “and you are such a dis-

St. John’s A.M.E. Church, of Au-
rora, Illinois, has just completed its
Fourth Quarterly Meeting for this Con-

the afternoon, as were several visiting
pastors. Holy Communion was ad-
ministered by the Elder. Rev. Mor-
gan Davis, of La Grange, Ill., brought
the message—his subject being “Sac-
rifice.” His choir accompanied him
and gave several fine numbers. Other
visiting ministers were Rey. Black-
wood, and each brought some of their
members. Throughout the year these
churches haye assisted each other in
their meeting which a fine

Conference was held and Rev. Ma-

pay off the mortgage. At a spe
program in July, which was attended —
by several influential members of the
other race, the mortgage was buried,
while the pastor, Rev. Thomas Hen-

church has much to be thankful for—
for many small debts have been cleared —

the pastor, Rey. Henderson for his
untiring guidance during the year.
We ask the prayers of all, that wi
may continue to progress. | G

GEORGE WILBUR BABER
GEORGE WILBUR BABER, pas-
tor of historic Ebenezer Temple A. M.
E. Church, Detroit, is a young man of
ripe experience and commanding per-
sonality, who has» a chain of notable
achievements to his credit. He stands
out as one of the ablest and most pro-
cressive leaders of the church today.
Dr. Baber, as many know, has made
valuable and lasting contributions to
\frican Methodism. His record as
a churchman, builder and leader of
men is hard to match. His record
speakes in no uncertain tones of his
fitness for the office of Bishop in the
\.M.E. Church. His phenomenal
rise to the “Spot-light” position in the
church, came by hard work and sacri-
fice. In other words he made his way
to the front, the “hard” way, the “way”
that spares not a fibre of ones being,
the one “way” alone which determines
the true worth of an individual.
About fourteen years ago, Dr. Ba-
ber joined the Michigan Conferencé.
He was assigned to the smallést
charge in the conference, a Mission
with six members at Laporte, Indiana.
In spite of the small membership he
proceeded at once to lay plans for a
new church. Within a short time he ob-
tained the active co-operation of the}.
leading white citizens of the city, and
the campaign for building funds began.
At one time during the campaign the
church. had on deposit in a local bank,
ten thousand dollars, to which as pas-
tor he had access. But, in spite of the
fact that his family was in dire want of
necessities of life, he refused to. touch
the funds for personal use. Instead he
worked as a laborer on the streets to
carn a livelihood for his ‘loved ones.
| think that this one fact in his life
Stands out asa glowing tribute to his
honesty. He built a splendid church
there at a cost of twenty thousand dol-
lars, and upon ‘his departure, left. the)
THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER
A
church free of debt and with five hun-
dred dollars in the bank.
At Michigan City, Indiana he built a
sixteen thousand dollar edifice, paying
all the cost of construction, with the ex-
ception of twelve hundred dollars.
From this charge he went to Benton
Harbor, Michigan, where he erected
one of the most beautiful teniples of
worship in the conference. This im-
posing structure which cost thirty five
thousand dollars, was paid for in full
before he departed for another field
of labor. Another high light in his
character came to light as he closed
his great work at Benton Harbor. In
recognition of his efficient service the
then presiding bishop offered him a
leading church in Detroit, but the big-
hearted little giant declined the ap-
pointment because he did not wish to
dislodge another minister whom he felt
was doing a good work there. This
fact attests his great regard for his
fellowman’s welfare. His next charge,
therefore was at Flint, Michigan. Here
he enlarged the church and became a
prominent figure in civic affairs.” He
was the organizer of the city’s Wel-
fare Commission, and initiated the ma-
jor portion of it’s city-wide relief pro-
Christian mother and a great lover of
the church. Think on these Worthy

HERE AND THERE OVER FLA.
Jacksonville, Fla.
By Mrs. A. B. Williams
This morning finds our beloved Bish-
op Grant in Texas with Bishop Young.
His very absence is felt and although
the change for Bishop Grant is so
much needed after very hard tasks have
been performed. All over Fla. are
wishing he’d hurry back.
Bishop Grant and Mrs. Grant are
full of advice worth heeding, Fla. is
making such rapid progress along lines
of religion, edueation and finance, that
every worker keeps full of enthusiasm
and interest. All denominations
claim our Bishop, and respond like
the A.M.E’s. when the cails are
made: Mrs. Grant was presented with
enough purse to go away to Chicago
on a yacation. The Missionary De- |
partment, led on by Mrs. A. E Heath,
the Queenly President of W.H7M.S.
made the presentation. The gift in
money is only the beginning of what
the workers are doing for her and will

forth. Shortly after assuming charge
here, he purchased® for the congrega-
tion one of the most spacious and elab-
orately equipped church | buildings in
the most valuable properties of the A. C. E. League Pres., and Mrs.
connection. Strange as it may seem,
Dr. Baber experienced bitter oppo-
sition in his efforts to secure this
building which is now Ebenezer Tem-
ple A.M.E. Church. Yet, it is not
strange when we consider the fact that
there are forces trying to keep GOOD
MEN down. Since his appointment
to Ebenezer he has trippled the mem-
bership, and has increased the Dollar
Money from seven hundred and fifty
dollars to eleven hundred and sixty
dollars. Under his leadership the
church is two years ahead in it’s pay-
ments on the new church home. The
church operates a Boys’ Camp, has an
extensive Social Service set up and a
comprehensive Young Peoples’ Pro-
gram.
Dr. Baber is the originator of the
Seventy Five Years of Negro Prog-
ress celebration, which will be held at
Detroit in 1940. In this great project
he has the backing of the Governor of
the state, city official and a committee
of two hundred and fifty leading Ne-
groes of the country.
Needless to say, the church needs a
man of Dr. Baber’s caliber on the
Bench of Bishops. MORE SPECI-
FICALLY THE CHURCH NEEDS
BABER. As we have pointed out, he
is honest, sympathetic, efficient, prog-
ressive, an organizer of no mean abili-
ty, a dynamic preacher and lover of
humanity. He should be, and I pre-
dict will be amorlg those elected Bish-
ops in 1940.

ST. PAUL, SANTA BARBARA,
BURNS MORTGAGE
Rey. Ralph King, Pastor
Thursday, August 18th will ever be
a red letter day in the hearts and
minds of members and friends of St.
Paul.
For 15 years a small but burdensome
mortgage had hung over the church,
increasing tather than decreasing with
the years. In the terms of one “Min-
isters came and ministers went, but the
mortgage seemed to stay for ever.”
Then in late 1935 it seemed as if the
final blow was struck when, for rea-
sons best known to those then in au-
thority, this point was left for 5 months

than a year from the time of his ap-
pointment, he had erected the beauti-
ful edifice that stands on the spot of
the former little Westside Mission,
which was organized and founded by
the late Major George W. Prieleau,
Chaplain U. S. A., retired. At the
opening ceremonies of the new building
about $2000 was reported in cash and
furnishings. Shortly after this Rev.
King married Mary Stafford Prioleau, ©

While backing the payment of the
$2400 mortgage 100%, Rey King en-
couraged the members to keep up the
other oblizations as well. The build-
ings were reroofed, repaired and re-
insured, and back taxes paid up. The

period that the faithful few, shepherd-
ed by local leadership resolved to pay
off the mortgage debt. Back interest
was paid and each month saw the
principal decreased by a few, but all
too few, dollars.
In March, 1936, Rev. Ralph R. King
Was appointed pastor. Rey. King was
well qualified for the job... He was
licensed to preach in 15th Street
Church in Oakland by Rev. J. M.
Brown. After graduating from Wil-
berforce and Payne Theological Semi-
nary Bishop Parks returned him to
future. As the last flame died away
and a 15 year obligation was reduced
to ashes, a tearful audience lifted their
voices in “Praise God From Whom All
Blessings Flow.” Following the ser-
vice a reception was held and a Jarge,
beautiful cake bearing the inscription
“No More Mortgage” was. presented
by Dr. John Van Paing, noted phy-

Everyone went home happy and re-

Marching” was sung by the choir. At
this point, Rev. E. J. Jones, pastor in

very brief yet inspiring and encourag-
ing address the Bishop expressed his
delight in being able to be here and the
splendid reception he received on visit-
ing Mount Union, and Rev. and Mrs.
E. J. Jones, the wife who we owe to
the success of our pastor. He told
of the happening in the Third Episco-

ciation of the work being done here.
Under the splendid leadership of Rey.
Jones, with the wonderful aid of his
wife, Mrs. E. J. Jones, generally call-
ed “Mr. and Mrs. Divine the Second.”
His text was at random, speaking gen-
erally from St. John: “For God so
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have ever-
lasting. life.” John 3:16. “He spoke of
the general unrest in Europe today.
is Also of the success we are having here.
Why? Because the people have a
mind to work. At the conclusion of
the sermon the choir sang “The Gate
Was Left Ajar For Me.” An offering
was lifted for local church extensions.
After this Rev. Jones presented, and
introduced Mrs. Ransom, wife of the
Bishop. She spoke briefly on the won-
derful reception afforded them on their
visit to our city and parsonage. Mrs.

My sailing was changed by Thomas
Cook and Sons from August 24 to Sep-

wire while attending the Bishops’
Council at Kittrell College. I did” not
have the strength to return to Texas
and loved ‘ones, go through the scenes
of sadness and say Good-bye again.
\My nearest relatives are an only sis-

leaving them for so long a time and
such vast distance. Then other loved
ones in the home, Churg¢h, and little city
where I've tried TO LIVE. Another
parting would have tested my strength.
So I decided to motor with Mrs. D.
H. Sims to’ Birmingham, Alabama, en-
joying the coveted opportunity to visit
the homes of my. very dear friends,

and Bishop and Mrs. JS. Flipper, of

most inspiring to see the class-room

in each Department was indeed en-
