LOOSE CONNECTIONS
“Walk worthy of the vocation where-
with ye are called.”—Eph. 4:1.
Read I John 1:7-10.
It was a high moment in our worship
service when the visiting organist sat
down at the console of the organ to
draw inspiring strains from the waiting
keys. The congregation wait in sus-
strictly | P°PS¢ and anticipation of what glorious
music soon to swell forth from the

There was a flicker of the lights indi-
cating that the electric power was turn-

the stops and firmly pressed his nimble

keys there came no response: then a
feeble scarce heard harmony. After a
delay of several minutes it was found
that the switch had a loose connection
which interferred with the even flow of
power into the motor which furnished
bellows for the instrument.

LIGHT AND TRUTH
“O send out thy light and thy truth;
let them lead: me; let them bring me
unto thy holy hill, and to thy taberna-
cles.” —Psalm 43:3.
God is light and truth. He that
walketh in the way of God will most
assuredly walk in the paths of light
and truth. I overheard a man decry-
ing the church the other day, saying
the Methodists had become corrupt
and that their system of .government
lent itself readily to exploitation and
abuse.
What the church needs today and
in every day is men and women who
are willing to love light and truth, and
follow them whatever the cost. Are ye
able to drink the cup and be baptized
with the baptism? ‘
Prayer: Send out thy light and thy
truth, O Lord, until into our hearts
shall come the passion of righteous
and the consuming desire for holiness
In Jesus name.—Amen.

ee a racial consciousness in the First Episcopal District
that will intensify and stimulate a more willing and ready response to
the Educational interest of Wilberforce University, Payne Theological
Seminary and our local concerns. é ;
The District is rich in unlimited possibilities. Teeming with sacred
memories of racial striving and achievements enough to inspire the
most indifferent. Shame on the persohs who know the accomplishments
of the fathers, the history of the Church or who have been nourished
at her side, and yet cringe at raising a few dollars for her support.
The district traverses the richest territory embraced by A. M. E;

Making the Topic Clear
This topic was chosen to show the
importance of inviting others into the
enjoyment of the good things of the
Christian life. Moses was a good man—
there were few better—but he had a
wife who belonged to another tribe of

in-law, Hobab, with them. “Come a-
long with us, and we will do the good,”
said Moses. “No, I guess I won't go,”
answered Hobab. “I’d be better off
in my own land and among my own
reople.”
But Moses was not through. There
was still another reason. He had not
tated it at first because it would not
have sounded well. But he stated it

The indebtedness of E. W. C. re-

in just two years. The high school

mecca of learning in a few years in
the A.M.E. Church generally and the
State of Fla. particularly. The Tri-

revival meeting which was held at our
church July 3 to 17. s
The minister-was Rev. Dr. W. W.
Stephenson, evangelist and practitioner
of Columbus, Ohio. He is indeed a
spiritual awakener. Ten souls were
converted and baptized. Christian
souls were revived.
The pentecostal fires
reigned down upon us.
Members of various churches in
our community saw fit to accept good
council and were with us throughout
the meeting. The additional team work
aided us much in winning our yictor-

Total finance during our

Candidacy of Rev. C. A. Gibbs, an
inspirational meeting sponsored by the
A.M.E. ‘Ministers Alliance of Jack-
sonville, was held in the interest of Dr.
Gibbs for Bishop in 1940. The meeting
was city-wide and attended by all de-
nominations—of the city. Many
speeches were delivered—creating sen-
timent for the election of Dr. Cary
Abraham Gibbs to the Bishopric in
1940. Following this meeting, St. Paul
A.M.E. Church, the church pastored
by Dr. Gibbs, held a similar meeting,
which drew people from all parts of the
city to help in molding sentiment for
Dr. Gibbs. The presiding elders and
pastors of the city of Jacksonville, host
of the state meeting were on the job
and alert to make the meeting the out-
standing event of the year.

HOLCOMB, MISS.
A gospel feast was enjoyed in and
around Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church
during the revival held by the pastor,
Rey. D. Todd.
Prayer, praise and exhortation was
daily, and the same with a burning mes-
sage each of the 5 nights. Should we
style language as being that part of
education that serves as the dishes in
which its possessor serves much of
the remaining part, we would begin
by saying our pastor has proved to be
ly able and- ready to entertain and
serve most wonderfully in the feast.
First night: from Acts 92:1, we were
made to see the necessity of that one-
ness in songs, prayer and every effort
in soul saving for Christ.
Second night: from Luke 15:18, “I
will arise and go to my ‘father, and will
say unto him, father I have sinned
against heaven, and before thee,” we
