expressed it:
As Jacob did in days of old

Though I have been thy foe;

I come to ask for all thy love
And all thou’ canst bestow;
Except these blessings Lord I prove

Belief, repentance and prayer stand
out as momentous requirements in the
life of both saints and sinners. Look
at our condition without sufficient
power to save ourselves and we can
see that God’s great love from Cal-
vary’s heights transcends the highest
and sublimest human thought and in
its light appears our helpless state and
the sacred poet lifts his voice and sings:
Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay;
Without one cheering beam of hope
Or spark of glimmering day.
With pitying eyes the Prince of grace
Beheld our helpless grief;
He saw and O, amazing love
He ran to our relief.

And all harmonious human tongues

All the cardinal points of religion
are embraced in the value and virtue
of faith, the Apostle Paul says, That
faith is the substance of things hoped
for and the evidence of things not
seen, the word substance means the
gist, the reality of a thing but this is
the derived meaning and does not give
the true significance of the expression
of St. Paul. The Greek for substance
is Hupostasis composed of two words
Hupo which means under and histemi
which means to place, so originally the
word substance means placed under,
that is a basis or a foundation. The
Latin word for substance is Sunstantia.

CONGRESS .
Forwarding Christian Work
FORT SMITH, Ark., Aug.—(ANP
In one of the most: effective religious
gatherings ever witnessed in this sec-
tion, the 12th Episcopal District of the
African Methodist Episcopal. Church
held its religious congress in Fort
Smith this week. Leaders and laymen
from all over Arkansas and Oklahoma,
the states comprising the district, were
in attendance together with visitors
irom as far east as Philadelphia and
Florida, west from Texas and north
from Kansas and Chicago.
BISHOP'‘H. Y. TOOKES
bishop H. Y. Tookes, the presiding
prelate of the district, was in charge,
with Bishops J. A. Gregg and R. A.
Grant as his guests. Rev. F. A.
Roundtree, pastor of Quinn Chapel at
which the congress was held, was
host; Dr. G, Wayman Blakely, pre-
siding elder of Pine Bluff district, ser-
ved as dean of the congress; Dr. J. H.
Clayborn, editor of the Southern Chris-
tian Recorder, was director of publi-
city, Dr. C. A, Abington, editor of
Sunday School Literature, Dr. S. S.
Morris, Secretary of the Allen League
Dept., Miss Myrtle Jones, Pine Bluff,
and J. W. Parker, Jr. were among
the official staff of the Congress.
Other general officers and denomi-
national workers present were Dr. A.
S. Jackson of Waco, commissioner of
education; Mrs. L. M. Hughes, Presi-
dent Woman’s Home and Foreign Mis-
ston Society; Dr. J. G.- Robinson,
cditor A.M.E. Review; Mrs. Garrett

BISHOP J. A. GREGG
Bishop Gregg preached ably at the
opening general assembly, he and Bish-
op Grant alternating with Bishop
Tookes in presiding at the various gen-
eral gatherings. Mayor J. K. Jordan
oi Fort Smith and C. P. Byrnes, editor
of the two local dailies delivered wel-
come addresses as did young women
representatives of every colored de-
nomination represented in the city. |
Particularly striking was the interest
manifésted and the warmth of wel-
come evidenced by the representatives
of white Fort Smith.
The Congress had a three-fold ob-
jective: first, to serve as an education
project in various phases of church,
Sunday School, Christian Endeavor
and Missionary work; second, as a
clinic where pastors might study mod-
ern methods and approaches toward
making the church more effective as
a social, economic and spiritual unit in
the community; and third, in integrat-
ing young people more definitely into
church activity.
It was a highly spiritual occasion and
served to direct attention upon the
growth of appreciation for the work
which Bishop Tookes is doing in the
area. The bishop now serving his sec-
ond year has demonstrated a vital in-
terest in his men, in the schools and
various auxiliaries as well as an un-
selfish interest in the welfare of the
church, which is binding the people
firmly to him.
It is probable, Editor J. H. Clay-
born said, “that no bishop who has
presided over this district has done
more in practical Christian stateman-
ship or striven harder for the church
than has Bishop Tookes,” That senti-

ment was corroborated by numerous
pastors and workers throughout the
described Bishop
Tookes as a financier, scholar, great
preacher, statesman and leader, but
most of all as a dependable Christian
brother.
Built upon the most approved meth-
ods in religious education, the con-
gress under Dean Blakely attacked
such problems as “How to Teach in
the Church School,” “Planning a
Young People’s Society Program,”
“Improving the Adult Class,” “Guiding
Youth’s Approach to Religion,” while
for the ministers there were courses
in Bible, Pastoral Theology, Homiletics
and Administration. Under Mrs. L.
M. Hughes, who paused on her way
to study mission in Africa, the mission-
ary women studied more’ effective pro-
cedure.
BISHOP R. A. GRANT
“This has been a great gathering,”
said Bishop R. A. Grant.“ 1 am happy
to have come all the way from Florida,”
he continued, “just to participate.
Bishop Tookes’ success is close to my
heart, and I congratulate him.” Bish-
ops Tookes, Grant and Gregg had been
friends for 25 years, ever since they
all served together down in Florida,
and since that time have striven side
by side for the church and each other.
“J am grateful for this gathering,”
said Bishop Tookes, “because the spirit
has been with us. It has been a bless-
ed occasion and gives me strength to
go forward toward greater
achievement for African Methodism
and particularly in the 12th district.
The people of Arkansas and Oklahoma
are among the finest in all America.
We are engaged in Christ’s work and
are determined to carry on to a victory
which will help our people socially,
economically and as Christians.” The
congress closed Saturday night.

visitors rose to their feet and began
to sing and march about the church as
a tribute to the presiding bishop
The youth council’s band swung into
action and for an hour Bishops Grant
and Gregg, who were alternate pre-
siding officers, did not attempt to quell
te splendid demonstration which
greeted their fellow bishop. Flowers
were presented in the name of Bishop
and Mrs. Tookes, who was detained
at the bedside of her ill mother, and
were accepted by Mrs. Garrett Tookes
Lamb, his daughter. On petals of the
flowers were pinned dollar bills, one
for each year of the bishop’s life, 56.

Equally unpremeditated was the in

resolution endorsing Editor J. H
Clayborn of Arkansas for the bishop

THAT GOOD PART
Luke 10:42—Mary hath chosen that
good part which shall not be taken
away from her.”
How easy it is to be “careful and
troubled about many things” that are
not essential. Living in a material
world, we easily fall into thinking and
acting as though+the world of right.
sound, and sense is all that matters.
“The world is too much with us, later
and soon,
We lay waste our powers
We have given our hearts away, a
sordid boon.”
Let us chose that good part which,
although we lose all others, shall not
be taken away.
Read Matt. 6:19ff.
Prayer: “Dear Lord, take out of us
the carnal mind which is enmity against

“I will take heed to my ways; that
I sin not with my tongue. I will keep
my mouth with a bridle.”—Psalm 39:1.
I do not know in any area where we
sin more than in the use of our tongues.
This prayer of Allen A. Stockdale,
published in the Christian Century for
October 2Ist needs universal repeti-
tion.
“Dear Lord, look into my mouth
and see what a cruel thing my tongue
It seeks to ruin good reputations;
it lies, when crowded into a corner;
it boasts to satisfy vanity; it Tuns on
and on when silence would be golden;
it does not repeat matters correctly;
it has made trouble for me and my
relatives, friends and co-workers. Dear
Lord, if you can adjust my tongue to
truth and gentleness, love and fairness,
you will perform a miracle of compas-
sion in the area where I liye, move

GIANT OF GRASSHOPPER?
“And there we saw the giants—and
we were in our own sight as grass-
hoppers and so we were in their sight.”
Numbers 13:33,
Ten of the twelve spies put a low
estimate upon themselves and it is not
surprising that their foes shared their
opinion. The enemy may have been
giants but that was no reason the
Israelites should have grasshoppers.
The words of Phillips Brooks make a
formidable challenge:
“O do not pray for easy lives; pray,
tasks equal to your po’
for powers equal to youn tasks. They
the doing of your work shall be no
miracle but you shall be a miracle
Every day you shall wonder at your-
self, at the richness of life which has
come to you by the grace.of God,»
Read Psalm 27. :
Prayer: Dear Father, help us to
know that with thee nothing is impos.
sible. We would have faith to do and
dare for Thee, no matter how strongly
intrenched the enemy or great the
obstacle. In Jesus name we pray—
Amen. ;
GRACE AT THE TABLE
By Josephine T. Washington
As Thou hast kept us through the
days gone by and proyided all our bodi-
ly needs, so, O Lord, may Thy constant
care guard us from all harm and still
give us our daily bread. To Thee is
all glory and thanksgiving.—Amen.
Convention days are here. The
sound of the gavel is abroad in the land.
"Par in advance of the eventful period,
tentative plans were made. When the
at day dawns it differs from simi-
occasions of the long ago remem-
bered by a few. Now no linen “dus-
ter” envelopes the form, masculine or
ieminine. Women traveling by auto-
mobile do not need to cover hat and
head in voluminous folds. Dusty roads
and streets are well-nigh eliminated.
Men and women reach their destination
in attire little the worse for hours spent
on the road.
The complaint is made that Conven-
tions cost too much, and the money
could be used in ways more needed.
Many organizations seek to reduce ex-
penses to a minimum, this being es-
pecially true of those religious and
eleemosynary, Most of the women in
attendance upon such gatherings dress
y and inexpensively. Train fare
constitutes the major cost of attend-
and for that there is usually a
uction below the ordinary charge.
O! course we refer to legitimate ex-
Penses only, not to the splurging that
racterizes people who use dress
y as a means of excessive display.
do we include graft and other
forms of dishonesty that may be found
not only among the, so-called inferior
Tace, but among others as well. These
sre not essential parts of conventions.
Another criticism, especially against
Women’s organizations, is that they fos-
‘er “movements” Some one malicious-
ly refers to women who traffic in

tion has widened in recent years.
Greatly enlarged also is the Percentage
of women in whose lives the convention
has become an important factor, Just
how much these gatherings May mean
in the life of the individual woman,
can be judged from the following inci-
dent. ©
“You see that lady?” a friend asked
me at a State meeting, indicating the
lady meant.
I turned and saw a quiet little per-
son whom I had noticed slightly at
two or three similar gatherings.
My friend continued: “From year
to year she has been going to conyen-
tions. She has made improvement in
speech, conduct, appearance. It has
been my delight to watch her grow.
From a timid little person, she has
developed into an alert and efficient
woman, taking part in the various ac-
tivities of the organization.”
Conventions do not cost too much
if the outlay in time and money is
offset by the benefits derived. That
is the criterion by which we judge any-
thing of which we question: “Is it
worth while?”
It should be remembered too, that
what one gets out of anything is de-
pendent, in large measure, on the per-
son,
A chance to travel, intellectual de-
velopment, intelligent participation in
discussion, broadening of acquaintance-
ship, recreation ;—and, above all, oppor-
tunity to aid in the advancement of
some great cause, are among the ad-
vantages offered by organizations.
Self-seeking in its myriad forms and
carping criticism where views differ,
twin evils that sometimes rear their
ugly heads in conyention halls, have no
power over proponents of true right-
eousness.
KNOW YE NOT, A GREAT WOMAN
HAS FALLEN FROM OUR RANKS
Next to God, we are indebted to
woman, first for life itself, and then for
making it worthwhile.—Boyee.
Contact with a high minded woman
is good for the life of any man. God
has placed the genius of women in
their hearts, because the works of this
genius are love.- The dignity of a wo-
man consists in being unknown. Her
glory is the esteem of her husband,
her pleasure is the happiness of her
family. A noted writer said: “Wo-
men have more strength in looks than
, We have in our laws, and more power
in their tears than we have in our argu-
ments.” Kindness in women not their
looks shall win loye. Hallack says:
“Women! with that word, Life’s dear-
est Hopes and memories come”. Chris-
tianity has lifted woman to a new
place in the world and just in propor-
tion as Christianity has sway, will she
rise to a higher dignity in human life.
What she has now, and all she shall

These were qualities, which had been counted weak
and unworthy, and gave them a divine
glory in Christ. Victor Hugo says:

mother. It is the place which God
has given to woman, and she who fills
it well is honorable and honored by
God and Man.
A woman has this quality in common
with the angels, that those who suffer
belong to her. One writer has said:
“Women are the Poetry of the world,
in the same sense, as the stars are the
Poetry of Heaven. Clear, light-giv-
ing, harmonious, they are the terrestial
planets that rule the destinies of man-
kind.”
Woman is like the reed which bends
to the eyery breeze, but breaks not
in the tempest.
Woman was not taken from man’s
head to top him, nor out of his feet to be
tramped upon, but out of his side to
be his equal, under his arm to be pro-
tected and near his heart to be loved.
Virtue, modesty and truth are the
guardian Angels of woman. Woman
is.only the repore of man, but his joy,
the salt of his life. Women without
religion are like flowers without per-
fume. A fair test and measure of
civilization if the enfluence of its wo-
men, The growth and development
of any nation depends upon its women.
Unborn generations will be giving
praise to womanhood.
To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote
herself to the great task of Christian
training will be the text of every good
woman’s life. Woman—last at the
cross, and earliest at the grave. Otway,
a great writer said:
O woman, lovely woman,
Nature made thee to temper men,
We had been brutes without thee,
Angels are painted fair to look like you
There is in you all we believe of heaven,
Amazing i brightness, purity, truth
eternal joy, everlasting joy, and
love.
The future of society is in the hands
of woman, if the world was lost thro
woman she alone can redeem it. Earth
has nothing more tender than a wo-
man’s heart.
The Christian religion is the only
religion that presents woman to man as
his companion. To religion do women
owe their liberty and from the liberty
of women nations have become great
Empires raised up and civilization and
Society purified.
Mrs. Ruth L. Logan will be greatly
missed. When I came to Florida from
New York in 1936, and met the Mis-
sionary Workers of the State, she
greeted me so lovingly and after dis-
cussing and planning our work for the
year, she pledged me her full support
and I am happy to say, she kept her
word. She loyed her work, her heart
was entwined around her work as the
ivy around its support.
Mrs. Logan was one of the best
prepared women in the state, she had
had the best of training and she was
always glad to serve in any capacity
she could.

when we began the Saturday night,

Dear Missionaries, we cannot afford
to let her work be in vain. We must
keep the torch burning. She worked
to the end.
She has gone to receive
her crown of life that the righteous
Judge has promised to give to those
who prove themselves worthy, and work
until the end.
She is there bathing her weary soul
in the seas of heavenly rest. We will
miss her, her place will be hard to fill,
let us close up the ranks, gird up our
lions, make a strong determination to
meet her.
To her dear husband who was so
faithful and loving all through their
married life I’ll say, weep not, she would
not return, tho she loved you dearly.
You can prepare to go to her. We
will pray that God may strengthen you,
keep you and cheer you in this hour
of sadness and may you be happy in
the thought she has heard her Master
say—“Well Done.” He understands,
He'll say “Well Done.”
If when you give the best of your
service,
Telling the world that the Saviour is

Be not dismayed, when men don’t be-

He understands, He'll say “well done.”
When I come to the end of my journey,
Weary of life;and the battle is won,

have never heard nor seen the Gospel

hope they will march out on this great

know they will lachieve the victory.

was Missionary day, the “Dixie Four”

and rendered a very inspiring program
to a packed house. We can truthfully
say they are really carrying the Gospel

The Land Where Jesus Lived
(A Series of Four Meetings)
4. People of the Holy Land
Luke 4:38-44
Introducing the Topic
Few countries in the world have had
so many changes in their inhabitants
through the centuries as has the little
jand of Palestine.
We must not forget that the basis
of occupaney was the promise of God
made to Abraham, that Abraham’s de-
scendants should occupy the land; that
later God promised that from this na-
tion should come Jesus Christ, the
Saviour.
Each Junior Represents a
Tribe, Race, or Nation
(It is not necessary that they be cos-
tumed, although that would be moré
impressive.)
1. My people were called Amale-
kites and dwelt on the edge of the
desert in the south of Canaan. What
a time we had when Moses and his
way! We made life miserable for them
great throng of Israelites came our
for a long time They could not drive
us out, for we had no land of our own.
2. I come from the ancient city of
Jebus, now called Jerusalem, and my
People were called Jebusites. Joshua
and his people tried to drive my an-
cestors out of our stronghold (Josh.
15:63) but they never succeeded until
King David did it.
3. Tam a Samaritan, and my people
are the only ones who have lived in
the promised land since the time of
the Hebrews. Indeed we are Hebrews,
in part, for our nation is a mixture of
Hebrews who stayed in Shechem at
the time of the Assyrian invasion, and
of the conquerors. Since then we have
held Samaria and have worshipped
Jehovah,
4. The most important inhabitants
of Canaan were my people, the He-
brews, called also the Children of Israel,
°r the Twelve Tribes of Israel. We
‘ame in under Joshua, drove out the
many other tribes dwelling in the land,
ind lived there for several hundred
Years. We established the worship
of Jehovah, built the. temple, and made
’ name for ourselves. Even though | |
We were overcome and carried away
“aptive by the Chaldeans and Assy-
rians, we still hold to the promise of
a Siven to our father Abraham, that
“'s People should possess the land.

Palestine today. We dwell in towns, S., Aug. 27.
and give ourselves to industry, to agri-
culture and to peace.
6. My people are Turks, who wor-
ship Mohammed, and had long posses-
sion of Palestine from the breakup of
the Roman Empire until the World
War in the twenticth century. We
built mosques in place of temples and
churches, and did away with as many
of the Christian and Hebrew relics as
we could.
7. And I, the last, represent the
Jews of every nation who now find

The third quarterly c onference was
held at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church,
Brewton, Ala., with Dr. H. M. Wal-
ker, Presiding Elder of the Andalusia
District, Alabama Conference, presid-
ing.
The pastor, Rev. A. Lanear had
things well in hand and the conference
‘was a success. After a short prayer
services the pastor in very fitting words
presented the Presiding Elder who
gave a splendid address and also gave a
splendid synopsis of the work on the
District, which was very interesting.
After which he took up the business
part of the Conference. The Presid-
ing Elder preached two powerful ser-
mons. Both suited the occasion very
much. His text at eleven was, “Cast
thy burden upon the Lord,” and at
night, “The anchor of the Soul.” Dr.
Walker is indeed a good Counselor.

OUR CHURCH
By A. Lincoln Criglar
In advocating the election of men to
the bishopric we must be careful to dis-
tinguish between those who are “out
for the bishopric” and those for whom
the office is out. In other words, dis-
tinguish between these who seek the
office and those whom the office seeks.
't would be unfair to crush the ambi-
tion of any one. Every one has a right
to aspire. Yet judgment must accom-
Pany aspiration. Where this is lack-
ing on the part of the aspirant the
church must supply it in vote casting.
The A. M. E. Church is too old, too
Potent, too renouned and too Christ-
like in its doctrine for its important

JAMES WELDON JOHNSON,
NEGRO AMERICAN
(The Christian Century, Chicago, Ml.)
Any one who still holds the exploded
theory of the racial inferiority of the
Negro brain may learn” something to
his advantage by considering the char-
acter and career of James Weldon
Johnson, whose recent death in an
automobile accident gives sad occasion
for a review of his achievements. Mr.
Johnson was first a teacher, convinced
that the members of his race were en-
titled to an education including the
best in the cultural heritage of all races,
He was not content that they should
have merely an industrial training that
would make them more effective hew-
ers of .wood and drawers of water.
Then he was a lawyer, one of the first
Negroes to be admitted to the bar in
the South. Then he was a musician.
He and his brother, a graduate of the
New England Conservatory, formed a

series of lectures on “The System of

tuation.”

U.S. ARMS SALES SOAR IN WAR
CRISIS
Both Japan and China Are Revealed
As Heavy Buyers of Planes.
By United Press
VASHINGTON—War and war fears
in the Far East were reflected Sharply
in exports of American military air-
planes during June, State Department
statistics revealed today.
The figures, showing both the licenses
granted for exports of “arms, ammuni-
lion and implements of war” and actual
exports during June revealed that
\merican airplane manufacturers are
‘urnishing airplanes to both the Japa-
nese and the Chinese.
Big Order From Dutch
Conditions in the Far East further
were reflected in a huge order of ever
4,000,000 of military airplanes for the
Dutch East Indies. This was the larg-
est single order on which export li-
censes were issued during the month.
Export licenses for June totaled
$7,761,289, a jump of about $2,000,000
over the monthly average for the last
year. Actual exports during the month
Were valued at $5845,492.
It was the first time the State De-
partment has disclosed actual exports
of arms, ammunition and implements
of war. Hitherto the figures have
“overed only licenses issued. Officials
explained there was necessarily a lag
between the totals covered by licenses
and actual exports.
China Heavy Buyer
During June the Chinese Government
obtained licenses for $1,236,020, practi-
cally all of which went for airplanes
°t parts. A total of $912,350 went
directly for military airplanes.
Actual June exports to China ‘totaled

Japan during June obtained licenses
for $1,710,049 worth of airplanes and
parts, of which $684,080 went for mili-
tary airplanes.
Actual exports for the month were
$1,379, 128, of which $458,640 went for
military airplanes and the remainder
for commercial airplanes and parts.
Hull Plea Ignored
Commenting on the figures, officials
pointed out that Secretary of State
Cordell, Hull's statement of June 11,
condemning the sale of American bom-
bing planes to areas where such planes
are being used to bomb civilian popu-
lations, was not reflected in these ex-
ports or licenses.
Officials explained that American air-
plane manufacturers were under con-
tract for both military and commercial
airplanes which had to be fulfilled un-
less prohibited by this Government.
So long as there is no actual embargo,
the airplane companies can be com-
pelled by American law to fulfill their
contracts, officials explained.

vention held on the District for some
time according to reports from those
who are quite familiar with the work
of the district. On Wednesday morn-
ing, Dr. J. E. McClain, the veteran of
the Rockmart station delivered the key-
note sermon, full of power and food
for thought after which the Holy
Eucharist was administered by the
Presiding Elder and pastors to the
delegates and members present, fol-
lowed by the organization,
Miss Sarah Mae Thomas, a product
of Morris Brown College was elected
chief secretary with Mrs. Mosell Daily

The $20,256 |dism in the state and also President
Fountain of Morris Brown . At the
close of this masterful address, Rev.
B. B. Swinson, the pastor-poet of
Douglasville dedicated and recited a
poem to the Presiding Elder and pas-
tors of the district; Subject, “We are
bound for success” as may be found
printed elsewhere. Rev. J. S. Grant,
the sweet singer of the Cedartown
station lifted the Convention to a
spiritual fervor after the poem by sing-
ing, “I can tell the world about this.”
Much’enthusiasm was manifested in
the discussions by the delegates from
the various charges on the district.
Dr. D. W. Wiggs of Rome station
and Rev. A. L. Henderson of the Ho-
gansville Circuit registered the largest
number of delegates in the Convention.
The former brought seven and the
latter nine delegates. At the evening
services on the first day, Rev. A. L.
Henderson delivered a strong annual
sermon to an appreciative audience
after which the local programme was
rendered, Mrs. Lillian Moses, mistress
of ceremonies. Miss Sarah Thomas
responded in behalf of the Conyention.
On Thursday morning found the deic-
gates in a model Sunday School con-
ducted by the scholarly Dr’ D. W.
Wiggs who is known for his far
searching ability to render any services |
desired in the A. M. E. Church. The
noon-day sermon was postponed as
the Convention gave the right of way
to President W. A. Fountain and
Prof. Lockheart of Morris Brown
College.
After listening to that matchless ad-
dress on the challenge of youths for
a greater Morris Brown, no sane
church-loving Methodist (and for that
reason) no intelligent Baptists or what
nots, can withhold back the meager
sum of one dollar ($1.00) for Christian
Education when called upon to so do.
The Convention unanimously pledged
their suport to the pastors who in turn

Rey. A. D. Powell of Austeli station
and Friday evening by Dr. D. W.

mons were of the highest fype. full of
thoughts backed up by burning
of the Tioly Ghost
The Missionary side of the Conven-
tion was held Friday afternoon by the
President, Sister A. L. Edge followed
by the oratorical contest. After the
decisions of the judges, the following
won the highest honors; Miss Robin-

THE NEW TESTAMENT
A Translation in the Language of
the People
By Charles B. Williams, Ph.D.
Professor of Greek, Union
University
This ‘translator brings to the
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 single
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.

COSMOPOLITAN SETTING OF
A.M.E. CHURCH BISHOPS
By Rev. J. B. Carter
The Christian Church, has learned |
honor its ministry in general and
those churches that have bishops, have
long since learned to do honor to this
s of their ministry. To this general
, the A. M. E. Church is no ex-
ception. We do not hold that we
have not made some mistakes in select-
ing men for this high place of service,
during these more than a hundred and 0 let you welp him if he cau heip him-
fifty years of house-keeping as a de-
ee ee
b
nomination ineligious affairs, but our
intentions have always been «good in
selecting men for this high post of
duty. .When we take a look at our
bench of bishops as it stands today,
looking them over one by one, we
believe that we can get a man from
among them to answer to any calling
or necessity of the church or race.
There is Bishop J. S. Flipper, he is
a fundamentalist of the first water, a
safe leader, a disciplinarian, a rock-
ribbed Methodist, a parlimentarian with
a memory equal to a gray mule or an
elephant. He should be relieved from
a district at the next General Confer-
ence, and made historian of our church.
Bishop W. A. Fountain, is a great
preacher, a gatherer of the people, a
lover of education, a good mixer. He
believes that every preacher should
cwn something aside from a hymf
book and Bible. His [rieadship is
worth haviazg. He is a hard worker.
His slogin is education ana a prepared
ministry. Bishop R. C. Ransom, is a
mighty power i Zion, when it comes
to defenuing his rece along political
and Civic lines. He is a scholar, of
no mean standing, and takes high
ground in the p<pular issues of the
day. He is able to represent our race
and church anywhere. His slogan is
equal rights to all men regardless of
color or oreyisis, conditicous of servi
tude. Bishop J. A. Gregg is a lovable
character, a big brother, entirely void
of sham. He is an inspiration to any
young man wo nay be look-ne for an
honorable ideal. A lover of education,
very mild yet positive in his rulings.
A deep. thinker, but does not make
much noise about it. A sate leader.
His slogan,—is ‘work today. and rest
tomorrow.” Bishop R. A. Grant, on
first. sight when he is in action, you
would most likely believe him to be
rough and uncouth, but if you will
watch nim through, you wili nind a
great cha:acver; cre who is brocherly
with a helping hand for the needy, one
who can laugh from the very deeps
of his soul; a gospel preacher of the
evangelistic type. an organizer, a safe
business mar. where money is involved,
one who hates laziness as the devil
hates holy water. He is too sclfish
self. His slogan is, that we should
