hundreds of others up in age are in
great demand in the church? They are
prepared to entertain their people and
others alike younger than they are, only
desire a chance, and they will deliver
the goods—There are great men in the
A\M.E. Ministry, who have labored
hard in schools-and colleges, and have
graduated from respectable colleges,
and have their diplomas hanging upon
their walls, and will cope with the
best minds in the Ministry. Give them
a chance and they will bring it to pass.
The men who are in the lead by ac-
cident, sometimes are not the best
prepared intellectually, morally, nor
spiritually, and God knows it, to be}
true.” is
If the test was put on in our ministry
throughout Methodism, you would find
that two-third of the ministers through-
out the Connection hold no diplomas
from any school, college or university.
The illiteracy in the ministry is at
least 75% in toto throughout the con-
nection.” Some of them are not really
responsible for it, but they were not
able financially to better prepare them-
selves. There are men even in Florida
who have prepared themselves for any
positions in the church and will meas-
ure up to the requirement asked from
records of universities, colleges and
seminaries a few of them have been
given degrees, which hang upon their
home, and parsonage walls.—I hope to
name the aspirants and others who de-
sire the A.M.E. Church to know that
they have prepared themselves to serve’
the connection. I would-be delighted
to hear from you. that I may list your
names in “my write up,” and what
school or college you received your di-
plomas. Just a card will suffice—Com-
petency is a jewel, and should be de-
sired.

God calls men to the ministry, and
sends them forth, as lambs, among:
wolves” and says that he “will and
would” be with them. But, St. Paul
“tells Timothy, to study to show him-
self approved of his calling.” The re-
quisite for a God’s call preacher is
conversion of the soul and body”
Christ said to Nichodemus, you must be
born again.” After having been born
from above then the call comes from
God, who says, Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel” and I
will be with you unto the end of the
world.” Searéh the scriptures for in
them you have everlasting life. Go to
Jerusalem and tarry there until you
are endeed with the holy ghost.” Hence
| admire our present Bunch of Bish-
ops “whe advise the coming preachers
{ the A.M.E. Church to go to school
and colleges, to better prepare them-
selves for the modern pulpits of the
Connection: Bishop R, A. Grant, is
ite strict upon his young ministers
evtering the Conference, and also those
vno have recently entered.” He em-
phasizes upon a prepared and efficient
linistry in Plorida.—Bishop N. W.
liams, D. H. Sims, H. Y. Tookes
and others of the Bunch, are advising
the ministers attend schools and colleges,
that they may be the better prepared
to take care‘ of the modern pulpits.
But it seems unfortunate in our
church that “least or Jess” prepared
are the ones generally who hold the
most intelligent-and classical pulpits of
the modern age. Not so in every
tse but in many cases, and instances
throughout creation. The causes are
not laid at their “hands and feet,” nor
to the administration of the “Dioceses”
but to those Who are carried away
with friendship, relatives, buddies.
Our Kids” “our this and our thats.”
But the day will come when compe-
tence will take the place of incompe-
tency, in the ministry of the A,M.E.
Church.” There is a “Certain class” of
would be leaders that harp about, “old
“ge and young age” in the ministry.
None, age” and “college born” and
“college bred” who only have a smat-

say that the older ministers should be
relegated, and the young men come

Why is God’s House so old,

Does Jesus know just how it looks?
Does He not see its needs?

And heaven paved with gems,
And angels, with their white robes fair | done and get instruction just how to
All crowned with diadems.
Why is God’s house not new,
With carpets on the floor,
And paint, all white like fleecy clouds
With welcome portico?
Why is the lawn not green

And roses sweet, and hollyhocks,
And Easter lilies rare?
Why is His house so small,
Why is God’s house so still,

The Land Where Jesus Lived
(A Series of Four Meetings)
3. Why the Jordan i i. Famous River?
Mark 1:4-11
The Topic Introduced ;
One Sunday morning when a number
of small children were presented by
their parents at the altar of the church
for consecraticn ad baptism, te min-
icter went along the line with the bap-
tismal bowl in his hand, stopping at
each child in turn. When he caire to
one infant, however, he laid aside the
bowl, and took from the child’s father
a small bottle from which he poured
out water on his hands and then placed
them on the child’s head. The water
in the bottle had been carefully saved
for this occasion, having been brought
by another relative trom the Rives Jor-
dan in Palestine. It meant a great deal
to the parents to have their child bap-
tized in water from, this famous and
sacred river, whos? waters had once set‘
aside Jesus Christ for the work of His
holy ministry. But the Jordan is tfa-
mous for other things as well.
Facts About the Jordan :
Four small mountain streams unite to
form the Jordan River. In the course
of its progress to the Dead Sea, the
river includes two lakes,—the s:naller
being Lake Huleh, the larger. being
the Sea of Galilee (sometimes called
Lake Tiberias) .
The better known part of the river
is that between the Sea of Galilee and
ihe Dead Sea. This is a distance of
65 miles, but the river winds back and
forth to make its course much Iunger.
Along its banks there is heavy vegeta-
tion, and because the climate is very hot
parts of the valley are almost a jungle.
The river is from_three to ten feet
deep, and from one hundred to two
hundred feet. wide In ancient times
there were no. bridges, but at places
there were fords, or shallow places,
Where the river could be crossed.

and that if I could get a chance I would
like to hold revival services the next
day. He told me there were only about
fifty or sixty colored people in the
town, and he could not tell me anything
‘ about the church work—but if I would
go down the road in a certain direction
and turn to my left, I would find a
colored man name John Wilson, and he
could tell me about the churches.
I left my traveling bag in the ticket of-
fice with the agent, took my brief case
and started down the road, finally I
reached Mr. Wilson's home. I was re-
ceived with great hospitality. He told
me there were 2 Missions there, a Bap-
tist and a C. M. E. He continued
giving me an idea of what the town
consisted of, by saying: There’s just a
few colored people here, and he sent
his Mexican daughter-in-law with me
to see the officials of the Missions
who, only lived a short distance
across the field. At the home of these
officials I was received and extended
the privilege of speaking to them the
next day. :
My escort, the little Mexican girl
brought me back to the home of Mr.
Wilson where I was to stay. Mr.
Wilson’s home was the only house there,
that is among the colored people that
had a floor, the others were adobe huts
mostly butlt flat on the ground—it was
just dark when we returned. The sur-
roundings were very quaint and the
felicity of home began to steal over
me. Isat in the big old fashion kitchen
and rocked the home made cradle of
the Mexican baby while its mother
cooked. Mr. Wilson came to and fro
through a door that led out the back
way. Finally he came in and said to
me. Madam, you will be perfectly safe
here at my house. I don’t belong to
any church, but most all the church
people come here to my dance hall. T
stayed, teaching Mr. Wilson and his [
house hold the gosnel of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ seven days. On
the eighth day being led by the Holy
Spirit I started out again enroute to
Almagordo, New Mexico.
Almagordo, New Mexico
I arrived in the town about
8:40 P. M. When I got off the train
I looked around to see if there were any
one around I could get to carry me to
a minister’s home whose’name had been
given me in the town I had just come
from. Standing around the station were
some Mexicans. I-asked them if they
could direct me to the home of Rev.
Weaver. One by stander said, he was
sorry, but, he did not know him.
I paused for a few moments, then I
realized if I could get to the colored
neighborhood, I could find him as I
was told he had lived there for a long
time and was known. I then asked,
what direction did the colored people
live?
T was told and I started in that direc-
tion. Every thing was Strange and
quaint, my traveling bag aad brief case
seemed to grow heavier. I did not go
very far before I came to a filling sta-
tion, the manager, a former Texas cow
boy was standing out side near the side
walk. I asked hint if he could tell me
where a colored preacher name Rey.
T arrived in Tucumeari fate Saturday , Weaver lived, he said he was sorry but,

road station, T went to the ticket office
and asked him if there were any colored
churches there, I then told who I was
Upon my arrival at the raif- he was a former cowboy who had re-
cently come from Texas.
I told him who I was and he advised
me it would not be safe to walk down
dark,
after I left that block he told me the
best thing for you to do is to get the
law which meant the High Sheriff to
carry me to the preacher’s house.
He told me if I cared to I could wait
inside by the fire until he came which
was about every half of an hour.
I accepted the invitation and went
in, where there was a cold stove burn-
ing nicely. Finally a watchman from
next door came in and stood beside the
stove, he took from his pocket a gun
almost-as long as my arm from the
hand to the wrist. He changed it from
one pocket to another.
The former cow boy said to me, you'ye
heard about the West, haven’t you? |
said yes. But I don’t believe every-
thing I’ve heard. Just then two ladies,
white drove up. They were served
and went away, but soon returned be-
hind their car I saw a big gray contrap-
tion, it resembled a car but I saw there
was only a seat in for one. I looked
again and I saw “t entrance was in
through a backdoor. I realized this was
the High Sheriff of Lincoln County,
New Mexico. 2
The former cowboy put my bags in
to the car that was driven by the
ladies and I got in our car followed
this contraption driven by the High
Sheriff. ©
_We did not go far but made several
turns and we came to a house and the
Sheriff stopped his car, got out opened
the gate and knocked very heavy on
the door and said this is the place.
I got out and thanked them and by
that time Sister Weaver was at the
door in side saying, who is it, who is it?
I answered by: saying, its Evangelist
Hooper from New York City. She
quickly opened the door, made a fire
in the heater and got my bed ready as
it was then about eleven P. M.
She told me that she would be going
to work early the next morning, but
would probably return before I got up.
She said she would lock the front door
but if I want to go I could get out
the back way.
The next morning when I got up I
found kindling wood and matches at
my door to make a fire. After I made
a fire I took an inventory of the kitchen’
I found nothing eatable. I remembered
she said she would return and fix my
breakfast.
As I gazed out of the window upon a
very high mountain that seemed to be
near, I saw her coming. She brought
many kinds of good food and she began
to cook and talk.,
She told me on herway to work she
went to the home of Rev. G. W.
Brown, pastor of Orange Chapel A.
M. E. Mission and told him of my
arrival. She also said he would call
t@see me.’ :
Soon after the saw mill whistle blew
at twelve o'clock noon for the laborers
to eat lunch, Rev. Brown who was
employed at the mill rushed to the
home of Rev. Weaver to see me.
Thera are three colored churches in
that city and they are very neighborly.
Wherever a big affair is at one, the
others join in and the three churches
have one big service at one church.
It was arranged for me to speak at
our church, Orange A. M. E. Mission
Sunday morning, 11 A. M. and at.3
P. M. at the C. M. E. Church. After
this arrangement, Rey. Brown rushed

But few of the hundreds of young
men whom we are educating today are
entering the ministry of the A. M. E.
Church. Many who are deeply con-
cerned about the future of our Church
are seriously concerned -about this
state of affairs. Look over the list
of graduates of Howard University or
a score of other colleges for our group,
and you will find among their graduates
only a few men who are offering them-
selves for the ministry in any of our
churches. It is foolish to assert that
all of the young men who are turning
away from the ministry are WORLD-

in the days of slavery. They also
find a TENDENCY in our church along
some lines, to place a few where they
can get what they want and to take
away from the others even the little
that they have. Men who are trained
in forms of logic can not find any
future for themselves in such a condi-
tion. They do not have to look very
close to find out how many ignorant
unfit men are exalted over cultured,
refined men. If DIRTY WORK is
to be done, then DIRTY MEN must
be exalted to do this kind of work.
They see favoritism practiced both on
the right hand and on the left.) They
meet the fellow who has just come out
the secret chamber of deception with
the leader, and they hear him boast
how he got his PULL—and how he
paid for it. If you doubt this, talk
with scores of exceptional young men
as the writer has done and some things
will be told to YOU which I shall
mention in this short article. We have
large Presiding Elder Districts in which
not TEN local preachers can be
found. We. haye conferences into
which only a few uneducated men are
applying for membership in them. We
have thousands of young men in our
church schools who have no interest
whatever in the m:nistry of our church.
today is not standardized in our church.
In many ways the young man finds
success founded upon the selfish will
of @ selfish-minded man. In such “in-
stances the law of success follows what
he says do. If he says take the last
dollar from your wife arid babies and
give it to him, with him that is success.
The man who does that is successful
and the man who does not do that is a
failure. This carries with it
the view, that the less that the majority
of the preachers have, the more de-
pendent and obedient they will be.
Men reduced to such condition be-
come “YES MEN.” They have no
manhood. This condition has slain
most of the real leaders in nearly all
of our annual conterences.
vision
The mass
of little men know that they are unsafe
in such a condition. They know that
there is NO SPIRITUAL INTEREST
in them nor in their families They
see a few men with NICE HOMES
and splendid estates wield the big stick
over their heads and order them to
the STOCKS of POVERTY just like
Sen Loy did his slaves in Siberia. The
young man observes hundreds of old
men wandering from place to place
twho have no certain abiding place.
jHad we followed into the footprints
of our fathers, much of the trouble here
indicated would not be with us today.
We have thrown aside the SPIRI-
TUAL vision for political tricks and
graft and in this we have destroyed
the inward hunger which hundreds of
men had for the MINISTRY of our
CHURCH in their day. But few men
of the R. H. W. Leak, and the L. R.
Nichols type can be found in any of
our conferences today. Possibly there
are more than 100 men in the ministry
of, the A. M. E. Church today who
were brought into the ministry of our
church either directly or indirectly by
the leadership of R. H. W. ‘Leak.
The same can besaid of L. R. Nichols,
J. I, Lowe and of other men of their
type. We haye some SPLENDID

MEN” cannot attract them. CROOKS
land GRAFTERS have no message
for them. Only men and forces that
have the courage to be what they
pretend to be can change the situa-
tion before the church today.
Hundreds of men who are versed
in the modern philosophy of today
take no STOCK in the ROT that it
is the WILL of God that a few men
who are common—place in any given
degree of capacity for service should
do as they please and have what they
want, while another class of men just
as deserving and in some respects
more efficient, should roll in poverty,
want and rags. of life takes
this direction: “I am better than you
are because I have more than you
have. You must do as I say do be-
cause I have more than you haye, or
I shall take away from you what you
have. The gang is with me. We
care notHing for the right or for that

This view
There are
In many ways, success in the ministry | nothing to do with the WILL of God.
Any so-called Christian course of action
founded upon this yiew_is doomed to
fail. The purely material and political
view of the value of material things,
and the pushing aside of the SPIRI-
TUAL VISION of service to God and
suffering, mis-directed. humanity, is
destroying the inward hunger of hun-
dreds of cultured, efficient young men
from
entering the ministry. of our
church today. Our church can change
this sad condition. 1. It must ob-
serve more care in selecting men to lead
its forces. It must elevate men of
KNOWN Christian worth to lead its
forces. 2. It must destroy the at-
tractions in its BISHOPRIC for Si-
mon Magus and his brood. It must
have no men as its leaders who will
preach education in the day and then
sell its responsible places to IGNOR-
ANT, useless men in the dark. The
A. M. E. Church now has some able
men in its ministry in all sections in
which it operates. We must increase
the number of such men. To do this
we must keep before them an efficient,
honest, leadership that represents the
best that the church has to offer. As
a church, we must re-capture the vision
of Daniel A. Payne, A. W. Wayman
and B. F. Lee. We must produce and
put forth the type of leadership that
can do this, and hundreds of cultured,
efficient young men will come to our
church today just as they were able
to attract them to our church in their
day.
