The Churchman is attending a class
necting. This is one phrase of church
activities which must not be allowed
to fall into disuse. There is a definite
place for it and will be so long as peo-
ple have confessions to make. Chris-
ians delight to tell of their religious
xperiences.
With Dean Chas. S. Spivey of Wil-

spent the Lord’s Day with Dr. V. C.

was, the 57th anniversary of Trin-

In the audience the Churchman saw

of the lamented Bishop Abraham Lin-

The Land Where Jesus Lived
(A Series of Four Meetings)
2. Where Jesus Lived as a Boy
/ Luke 2:39-52
An Out-of-Door Meeting”
Since this is summer time, with the
liklihood of good weather, this meet-
ing may well be planned for out of
doors, for much of its subject matter
will be most effective as it takes into
account the blue sky, shining sun,
mountains, lakes, and rivers. and all
the growing things in nature.
Description of Nazareth
The Bible tells us that Jesus was
born in Bethlehem, a little town not
far from Jerusalem; that when He
was a tiny baby He was carried into
Egypt by His parents that He might
not be put to death; that when it was
safe again His parents brought Jesus
back to Palestine and settled at Na-
reth, and there Jesus grew up to
manhood.
If you were to start at the very
uthern end of the Sea of Galilee and
co straight west for about fifteen miles,
u would be in Nazareth, a small
village among the hills of Galilee.
rk to the east and Mount Tabor is
ir; to the west lies Mount Carmel,
{ less than five miles to the south
is the wide, level plain known as Es-
jraelon where many battles have taken

Nazareth is beautiful because of its
tlook. In any direction there is the

limbing up to the hills by the town
of Nazareth, the boy Jesus could look
lown on the plain Esdraelon. Here
had been Deborah’s victory over tne
Canaanites; here was Gideon’s triumph
over the Midianites; here King Saul
vas defeated by the Philistines; here
Josiah, king of Judah, had come to
his death. How real the Old Testa-
ment stories must have seemed to the
boy Jesus!
Talks by Juniors
(The Juniors may give brief talks on
the subject, “What the Boyhood of
Jesus Teaches Me.”)
1. The boy Jesus teaches love ot
home, Though we do not know muck
about the Nazareth household, we may
be sure that there were love, obedience
and joy where Jesus lived.
2. Jesus teaches industry. His
father Joseph being a carpenter, Jesus
learned this useful trade. We can
'magine Him at work at the simple
but important tasks of making tables,
chairs, wheels, and houses.
3. Jesus teaches friendship. We
cannot name any of Jesus’ boyhood
friends unless we should include His
Cousin John (who later was known as
the Baptist) in the number, but we
Now that Jesus must have exercised
* good influence over them.
4. Jesus’ teaches me to worship.
Surely it must have been in Nazareth
‘hat He formed the habit of going
'egularly to His church, the synagogue,
‘nd learned all the beauties of the Old
Testament which He so often quoted
in later days.
Plans for the Coming Week
By this time the Juniors should be
so interested in the Holy Land that
they will be willing to put in some
extra time at handwork, The best
Project is to make a raised map of
the country in a. specially prenared
map box, or tray placed on a table.
The map itself may be made of sand.

; Rodeheaver Will Lead Songs as
Tribute to Philip Bliss
By Stanley N. Clarke
Written for the Associated Press
TOWANDA—Around a monument
in the little village cemetery at Rome,
near here, thousands will gather Sun-
day to honor the memory, of - Philip
Paul Bliss, composer of hymns, born
100 years ago in a little log cabin, at
Clearfield.
His songs, known around the world
62 years after his death, will be sung,
led by Homer Aodtheaver, song lead-
er for the late Billy Sunday. As ac-
companist will be B. D. Ackley, who
also worked with Billy Sunday. The
principal speaker will be Dr. Will A.
Houghton, president of the Moody
Bible Institute. The: ‘Rey: Do. L.
Moody, founder of the institute, dedi-

At the appeal of Moody, contriby.

ument at Rome was tnveiled July 19,
1877.

one of Bliss’ most popular songs, \;

On Monday afternoon and Tuesday
morning hand bills were distributed
worded as follows: “Olin D. Johnston,

Sung in Every Tongue
Bliss, who wrote “Let the Lower
Lights Be Burning,” “Hold the Fort,”
“Wonderful Words of Life,” “Almost
Persuaded,” “Whosoever Will” and
{| many other hymns, was born July 9,
\ 1938, but the centennial observance
was set for the 17th to accomodate
Rodeheaver.
A returned missionary some years
ago reported being astonished on en-
tering a Zulu hut to find the natives
singing “Hold the Ford.” Numerous
Bliss hymns have been translated into
every known tongue. "
Quaint and homely in words and
music, plain and unvarnished, these
songs spoke of an honest sincerity
and singleness of purpose.

Names Widely Known
These evangelists with Major Whittle |
were at the height of their careers
when they heard of Bliss in 1874, and
approached hith with a view to his
engaging ‘in evangelistic work. As a
result the names of “Whittle and Bliss”
became almost as widely known as
“Moody and Sankey.”
When Bliss was. six year old, his
family moved to Kinsman Ohio, where
they lived three years. Then they re-
turned to Pennsylvania. Blisy subse< %

A few decades ago the popular pony
to ride into public offices was the pony
of hatred for Negroes. But in an
age like this when culture, refinement
and intelligence has covered all civil-
ized lands like the stars of the milky
way this old time. riddeti pony has
lost its usefulness. There are bigger
problems with which to grapple, eco-
omic problems and so forth. The
educated white people of South Caro-
‘ina as in other States are asking the
candidates to come forward with an
outlined platform which bids fair to
the bettering of conditions in the ‘great
battle of the people for bread, and not
who can heap the most insults on the
heads of poor defenseless Negroes.
The Governor says that he is one

Roosevelt's administration. Mr.
Roosevelt has, given otitstanding evi-

The treatment which President Roose-

very pleasing to them. He has never

this is partly due to his big heartedness
and partly to his familiarity wth his-

The churches of Mobile were graced
with the presence of Bishop D. H.
Sims from July 16 to 18. His visit to
Mobile was not a definite tour, but he
came on a definite task. While in the
city he preached at Bethel A.M.E.
Church, Rev. B. F. Mallard, pastor,
Emanuel A.M.E. Church, Rey. E.
D. Hughes, pastor; Metropolitan A.
M. E. Church, Rev. W. A. Lewis,
pastor and Samuel. Chapel A.M.E.
Church, Rey. J. H. Dillard, pastor.
Each church gave our Bishop a big
hearing. All present heard him gladly.
Monday, July 18, all the P. E.s, pas-
tors, and workers of every department
of the local churches of the Mobile
District and the North Mobile District
met in Bethel A.M.E. Church 10:30
A.M. Pastor Mallard had every thing
itt trim for the meeting. Opening ex-
ercises were conducted by Rey. E. D.
Hughes, who presented Rev. \R. S.
Catlin of the North Mobile District,
who in turn presented Bishop D. H.
Sims, of the Ninth and First Episcopal
Districts.
Each department of the general and
the local ‘churches were gone over.
And the duty and obligation to each de-
partment were most carefully explained.
It was more than a mere explanation,
but information and electrification which
have injected a spirit of devotion and
re-consecration to God and the causes
of the church of Allen Such has never
before been seen in this section in the
history of the A.M.E. Church. Mrs.

Bishop spoke to the missionary women
of the North Mobile and the Mobile
Districts. Her dynamic words on the
cause Of missions were so masterly de-
livered that it drove her hearers into
emotions of enthusiasm that the devil
and his host shall never be able to re-

THE NEW TESTAMENT
A Translation in the Language of
the People
By Charles B. Williams, Ph.D.
Professor of Greek, Union
gone, but his life and teachings are yet
living with us. No bishop in the
church has ever done the class of so
much needed work as is being done by
Bishop Sims and his wife. He is do-
ing in Alabama just what the Bishops
of the A.M.E. Church must do in the
future if they intend to hold the high-
est respect of the pastors and laymen
of this church of Allen. He is a
leader and not a driver. Just a smile
from him is all needed to bring results
from any request he may make in the
Ninth Episcopal District.

the Athens District, Athens, Tex. Our
Third Quarterly Conference convened
June 12, 13, Sunday 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Our P. E., Rey. E. A. Anderson de-
livered two wonderful sermons. Mon-
day night at 8:15 p.m. the house was
called to order-by our pastor, Rey.
B. F. Cooper, who presented the P.
E. who gave some wholesome advice
and proceeded with the business of the
Conference. The reports showed signs
of progress along all lines and our
pastor, Rey. B. F. Cooper is a tireless
and fearless worker. When he came
to us seven months ago our mortgage
debt was $2,533.50. This amount has
been reduced down to $183.50 and all
other claims of the church cared for,
we believe if we will support the pro-
gram that our church will go on to
success.

This translator brings to the
worthy task of translating the
New Testament into the ordinary
language of contemporary Amer-
ica, a thorough scholarship and ux
rich experience in his subject. A +
professor of Greek for over thirty
years, he has spent twenty years

in the completion of this work.
This translation is based on the
Westcott and Hort Greek Text,
which is recognized as the au-
thoritative text throughout the
English speaking world. Where
there haye been conflicts in the
Greek texts, the Vatican Manu-
script, generally conceded to be
the oldest and best, has been fol-
lowed.

act thought of the Greeks, rather
than to translate its single

added explanatory notes at the
beginning of each book, and foot-
notes, to

Felixville, La.
Mrs. E. B. Johnson, sponsored a
Missionary Rally June 26. Those tak-
ing part in this affair to make it a
success were :—
Mrs. T. Morgan, of Riverside, B. C.,
she had a wonderful paper, very in-
spiring.
Messrs. O. W. Williams of
Chapel A.M.E. Church, who
several selections also gave a
talk. Nathaniel Perkins also of Days
Chapel, who gave a wonderful and
timely message, subject, “What is your
life?” Little Doretha Kent, of Union
B. C. and little Elva O. Johnson, and
Mrs. E. B. Johnson. Sixty one cents
was raised. Mesdames T. Morgan,
Mary Jones, Matilda Williams, Fred
Jones, E. B. Johnson brought cakes
to be served. Bro. O. W. Rogers,
preached the sermon, subject “Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me.”
The Lord was with him in delivering
this great message.
On the first Sunday in July, was a
high day again. We had an old time
speaking meeting. Everyone express-
ed themselves how wonderful God had
been to them. Bro. Eli Hitchers of
Matthew Chapel A.M.E. Church just
burned within said it was the best
meeting he had been in this year. The
pastor, preached a soul-stirring sermon
St. John 13:18. “I speak not of you all, I
know whom I have chosen.” It was
a spiritual sermon, very tiemly. The
spiritual tide was high. Twenty-six
communed.
On the ‘tenth of July a rally was
given for the pastor, the following min-
and their congregations were
present, also: Calvary Baptist Church
Choir, Rev. S. Hill, the efficient pas-
tor, of Union Baptist Church was the
first speaker. He stirred the peo-
ple, there was a shout in-the camp.
He raised $2.61. Calvary Baptist
Church Choir rendered several selec-
tions.
Rey. A. E. Franklin of Baton Rogue
represented, his father-in-law the Rev.
P. P. Wright, the popular pastor of
Mt. Carmel M. E. Church, he preach-
ed from the 23 Psalms, The Lord is
my Shepherd, I shall not want.” And
every one was made to rejoice in the
God of their salvation. The Holy
Spirit was present. Rev. Franklin
raised $1.87. Total collection $4.48.
Rey. Johnson and his wife are in the
| hearts of the people in the community.
If the members follow his leadership
Clear Creek will take on new life and
be one of the greatest churches on the
‘| District. Over 250 people were on the
church ground.

caused deep concern and_wide interest
throughout Canada:
Bishop Gregg realizing “that accord-
ing to a pre-arranged schedule, that
he would not be able to attend, ap-
pointed Dr. L. L. Berry, Missionary
Secretary, to represent him and the
A.M.E. Church in all matters per-
taining to the A.M.E. Church as well
as fraternal delegate.
This secretary spent several days
taking in our work at Toronto, Hamil-
ton and Oakville, then being accom-
panied by the pastors of these respec-
tive places of the A.M.E. Church,
visited St. Catherines, the seat of the
82nd Annual and 20th General Con-
ference of the British Methodist Epis-
copal Church of Canada, which lasted
from July 9th to 18th.
In this body was the session of the

Thomas Dawson, D.D., is the General
Superintendent of this entire organi-
zation.
It will be remembered by those who
attended the General Conference of the
A.M.E. Church in 1928 in Chicago, IIl.,
that Dr. Dawson was the fraternal dele-
gate of the B.M.E. Church to the
A:M.E. Church. In presenting Dr.
Berry before the General Conference,
Dr. Dawson stated that 10 years have
passed since he had spoken for the
B.M.E. Church as the daughter of
African Methodism but he was glad
even at this late hour to have a repre-
sentative from the A.M.E. Church to
bring a word of greeting.
Dr. Berry was accorded every cour-
tesy and was called upon from time to
time to address the different organiza-
tions in their annual and quadrennial
sessions. It may be remembered by
readers of the history of the A.M.E.
Church that the American slaves, many
in number, sought freedom in Canada
throughout what was designated as
“The Underground Railroad.” For
quite some time many African Metho-
