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-

"The meeting was opened in regular

elected as secretary. The roll of the
various boards was called by secretary;
immediately after the response from
the roll call the reports were given.
The reports were highly commended
by Dr. Vanderhorst; he asked them to
continue the splendid work.
Under the past and present leadership
of the Dr. G. B. Nelson which only
consists of about fifteen months Peace
and Harmony has existed continually
thruout his benefical administration.
Dr. Vanderhorst closed the confer-

long as Peace and Harmony preyails
in a group working for any medium of
life whether it be a church group or
not. Success is always the outcome
of such courageous work. Be kind
and loving to each other for “what we
sow we certainly reap.” “We, as
Christians must remember the fieid
of Christianity is not a field of roses
nor ease, but one of mental as well as
physical struggles.” Man has lost the
respect for others which has diminished
the appreciation of God for God said
in his Divine words: “How can you

love me and you have never seen me?”

SOME THINGS
ever since Bishop J. ........ died, of
my vote at Cleveland and that he was
not reinstated before his death.” I
thought seriously of that and I further
thought what a FINE _ thing,
what a JUST thing it would be to re-
instate and re-equip Bishop William T.
Vernon and commission him again
to “Carry on, for God, the church
and the race.” By
Innocent or guilty I believe it is
the sentiment of the church that he
has sufficiently expiated any crime
real or imaginary of which he may
have been accused. What say you men
of Allen! Loose him and let him go,
that those mellifluous golden notes
may again regale the multitudes as of
yore.
While rambling among some old
papers in a drawer a few days ago,
I found a copy of what I conceive to
Galloway who preached a soul stirring
sermon subject: “Pressing forward to
the Mark of High Calling.”
He exhorted hiss hearers to press
forward in’ doing God’s will.
The business was entered into. The
reports from various auxiliaries of the
church were then given. at which time
Presiding ‘ Elder highly commended
them for the work done.
The singing of the Doxology closed
a very successful conference.

There is not one objectionable word or

There would be no reasonable ground
for complaint if all our elective or ap-
pointive offices were filled according
to this standard. But alas it is not
so to be, possible not until after the
millenium. At present we are very
prone to get the round pegs into the
square holes and VICE VERSA.
On nothing. is this seen more clearly
than in our church politics.
It is matter of current comment a-
mong clergy and laity alike that quite
rare indeed are the occasions when we
feel that the man who won was the
best type of man for the place.
’ There are notable exceptions of
course. Take at New York in 1936
for instance. More than a dozen de-
feated candidates with whom I talked
were frank in saying: “I am_ glad
Wright got it.” “He is in eyery way
the best prepared man for the position
that was in the race.”
Take the Christian Recorder race.
It was written in the Stars that Sin-
cital of great deeds done nor achieve-
ments accomplished but simply a plain
unvarnished statement in the well
know Ransomesque manner that car-
ries conviction in its every word. ,
I shall have my printer strike off
a batch of them and candidates who
are in doubt as to how the thing should
really be done may write me for a
copy of same, if Bishop Ransom does
not object for it is of his leaf of 1924
that I speak.
Speaking of the Episcopacy there is
not now nor eyer has been a dearth of
proper material in the A.M.E. Church,
but among the many good and suc-
cessful men. Men who are prepared
both intellectually and spiritually and
with a long and successful background
there stands out pre-eminently the
little giant of Detroit, Kansas City, St.
Louis and Cleveland, Joseph Gomez.
As was the case with Wright and
Singleton at New York—and long be-
fore going to New York—so it seems
is the sentiment for Dr. Gomez—that
of the many outstanding, Gomez is the
man who best exemplifies in his per-
gleton should win. Although I did
not talk personally with Norris, Potter,
Link, and Beckett—I too was in the
race—I believe each one of the quintet
feels in his heart that the best man
won. t
Peary did not more carefully plan
his arrangements for achieving the
north pole, nor Hughes his plans for
1940 with L. C. Ridley for the A. M.
E. Review. If there is a more de-
serving character than he, he has not

is stored up in the bread. And when
bread is eaten, it transmits that life
on—it gives its stored-up life to the
world.
Earthly Things. Heavenly Meanings
When Jesus’ words, promising such
enduring satisfaction, fell on the ears
of the Jews they said, “Lord evermore
give us this bread.”
And they were thinking of something
strange and far off. But Jesus an-
swered: “I am the bread of life: he
that cometh to me shall never hunger.”
That staggered them. They murmured:
“Ts not this Jesus, . . whose father and
mother we know?” “How can this
man giye us His flesh to eat?” Again
they saw the loaf, but not the sign.
They saw their own humanity, and the
humanity of Jesus of Nazareth, but did
not see God revealed in Him. They
did not understand when He said, “He
that receiveth me receiveth Him that
sent me.” They saw Him merely as
the carpenter’s son whom they had
known in childhood. youth, young man-
hood and maturity. He saw in them a
world of hunger, weakness, emptiness,
and He speaks to them and their fel-
lows forever in one great sentence, say-
ing, “I am the bread of life.”
With clearer vision, and after the
passage of the centuries, we catch the
deep significance of Jesus’ figure and
its application. Not many terms can
cover and comfort so much human wart
as the word “bread.” Jesus’ view of
it is exceeding broad. He sees that
staple article of food lying on the
table of the rich and the poor. the high
and the low, the learned men and the
ignorant. And in offering Himself in
such common language Jesus asserts
that His religion is for all men. Chris-
tian truth is no rich pastry or dainty
for a few choice souls, culled out for
esoteric culture; it is plain and whole-
some food for the daily universal use of
men. When Jesus taught the people
On this wise we are not surprised that
“the common people heard Him gladly,”
though not always comprehendingly. I
would today suggest three truths con-
tained in that word “bread.”
Bread Satisfies
THE BREAD OF LIFE ©
By the Rev. Samuel W, Purvis, D.D.
Text: | am the bread of life; he that
ometh to me shall never hunger. John
6:25-35. .
That was a daring statement. No
other of the world’s saviors has ever
id such an audacious thing. How
mame Jesus to say it? What was the
spiritual significance of His figure of
speech? oa
rhe Lord had fed the multitude of
ive thousand, on the hillside near
Bethsaida, with the five loaves and

n was measured by the physical

tion in the loaves—that was natural
t—but for failing to discern the

So in referring to “signs” and
Christ was not speaking of
gs but of one thing. He seeks:
cken their spiritual vision that
y may see the sign within the loaf.
For the bread was a mere loaf to the
who. ate to be filled, but it was
sign to the man who ate and saw in
it the spiritual truths taught by the
acted parable. 3
Through this whole passage Jesus
ns His hearers against entering
ical satisfaction by one door and
remaining there. He opens a door cn
the other side looking heavenward, that
hey may Pass on through to the spirit-
al blessings. So long as they live

Not once for all, of course; few
things mental or physical do.
~ But bread used daily, continuously,
satisfies. Being a staple article it
never wears out, nor palls on the taste
as rich pastry would. When Jesus said,
“I am the bread of life,” He gives Him-
self not once, but daily, a satisfying por-
tion. A guilty man comes to the For-
giver of Sins hungry for pardon. He
opens his mouth in confession. believes
and is filled with peace. Christ has
satisfied his need. The forgiven man
hungers further for righteousness and
usefulness . As he hungers, he is filled
Blessed are such! As he grows in grace
he hungers for a growth beyond spir-
itual childhood. His spiritual receptivity
and assimilation become larger. The
more broadly, deeply and passionately
we “hunger after righteousness,” the
more are we filled. ‘
Every natural, normal man hungers
for food. Appetite is health; lack of
it indicates illness—a lack of function
of physical organization somehow or
somewhere. Every man who is spir-
itually healthy hungers after righteous-
ness; his heart and flesh cry out after

and endurance of men. Lowered vi-
tality gives disease its chance. Satan
rules the weak man, and occupies an
empty ‘soul-house. Christ comes to
strengthen and to fill. He comes that
we may have life. and have it more
abundantly.
With heart-religion theology grows
less mechanical and more spiritually
helpful. There are times when mere be-
lief and church membership is but at-
taching fruit to a dead tree. In Jesus
there is a remission of sins which drives
sin cat by the communication of a new
heart and a new life. Thereupon will
grow fruits of the Spirit in that man’s
life.
Religion is a vital process. It is the
vigorous appropriation by the life of
what ts needed to make it healthy and
strong. Flesh becomes ‘firm, nerves
steady, the countenance rich in color,
because of the healthy process of vita-
lization within. We grow spiritually
strong, full of force and fire, as we vit-
ally appropriate Christ. Christian
truth is curative indeed, and of course,
but I note that Jesus never called Him-
self the medicine of Life—He is the
bread of life. He is the food that
strengthens us to put down Satan un-
der our feet. Darkness is cast out al-
ways by letting in light.
This -vital process of salvation
strengthens men in a true way. A tot-
tering, starving man does not want cane
or crutch; he wants food. Feed him
and he will stand, not by outer props,
but by inward vitality. The method of
the Master is not to prop men up from
without, but to make them stand up and
erect in true strength. The strength-
ening of the spiritual life by Christ is
a process, subtle, unseen, mysterious
as the building up of the physical body
by food. Can it be explained how the
strength of the wheat field becomes
human strength? Neither can it be ex-
plained how the spiritual strength of
our Lord becomes our strength.
As we believe on Christ, live with
Him, obey Him, His spirit saturates,
new life is absorbed, until at last Christ
is “formed in you.” He passes into
your whole being. He fits you for
every duty and trial in life as infallibly
as food finds its way into every power
and fiber of the body. He becomes
your strength and salvation, and the
life that you live you live by faith in
the Son of God.
Bread Enlarges
There is more of you bodily today
than there was when you were a year
old.
In eating food you have gathered and
retained your increased size. You have
eaten and become hungry again—you
have exhausted your strength and re-
plenished it; but out of the long ex-
perience you have brought a larger and
Christ enlarges the life. He par-
spoken to you by the way, and your
heart burned within you as He spoke.
It has been a long experience. You
ever felt, any more than you have with-
in you all the food you ever ate. But
gradually out of your experience with
Christ you have gathered to yourself
a richgr personality, a fuller life. There
is more of you now than ‘when you
first accepted Him as your Lord and
Leader. That salvation which “makes
whole” is nearer than when you first
believed.
The grace which God gives us is not
stored up in us, as with grain in a
granary; it is food, and is taken up into
circulation, and becomes a part of
the life. He feeds and builds up His
followers, and makes them increase in
faith, in hope and loye, until they come
“unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the fulness of Christ.”

THE NEW TESTAMENT
AvGravislation in the Language -of
the People
By Charles B. Williams, Ph.D.
Professor of Greek, Union
University
This translator brings to the
worthy task of translating the
New Testament into the ordinary
language of contemporary Amer-
ica, a thorough scholarship and
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 have been conflicts in the
Greek texts, the Vatican Manu-
script, generally conceded to be
the oldest and best, has been fol-
lowed.
Attempting to convey the ex-
act thought of the Greeks, rather
than to translate its
words. Dr. Williams has also
added explanatory notes at the
beginning of each book, and foot-
notes, to further clarify the
meaning.
In reading this book it brings
the event before you so plainly
until it seems like you were pres-
ent at the very happening itself.
It makes the Scriptures more
clearly understood.
This book is recommended for
the Study: Course of the ministers
who are applying for membership
in the Annual Conference.
It may be bought at the A. M.
E. Book Concern, 716 South 19th
Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The
price is $2.50 post paid.

OIL FOUND. ON WESTERN
UDMIVERSITY GROUNDS
For at least a year a Mr. Bert Hem-
inger has tried to lease the forty acres
given to Western University in the
will of a white friend, in order to drill
for oil. We signed the contract im-
mediately following our last Commence-
ment and he began digging with
the result of finding what seems to be
a very good well and will soon begin
to produce oil. It looks like in a year
or two we will have several wells on
our school lands. If our Church will
only give us the chance we will give
them one of the best Schools of Relig-
ion in the Race any where, in fact to
my way of thinking it is now the best.
Any young man or woman who is
properly vouched for by their Bishop,
or by a church pastor and who has
had high school training, or its equiva-
lent, may enter for forty seven dollars
per year, providing they are willing to
do a little work and may finish the
course in three years. Do not send
some one just to get rid of them. We
want only those whom you are willing
to take back into your churches as
me pastors.

Sunday was a glorious day. Presid-
ing Elder Morris reviewed the Sun-
day School lesson and all who were
present .were greatly impressed and
mightily benefitted by the thorough,
scholarly, and simplified manner in
which the finer shades of the lesson
were revealed by him. At 11:45 a.m.
he ascended the rostrum and his text
was Daniel 3:23: “And these three men,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell
down bound into the midst of the burn-
ing fiery furnace.” The subject of
the discourse was: “The fatal night.”
This sermon will long be-remembered
by those who heard it; and its reper-
cussions have been felt throughout the
entire community. This splendid
Church is proud of the pastor, the Rev.
A. C. Clark, whom Dr. Morris de-
lights in referring to as the prayer of

the continued success of Presiding El-

heard throughout the congregation that
taxed the capacity of the spacious edi-
