those who listened in.

The missionaries, under the efficient
leadership of Mrs. C. D. Johnson,
and the children under the fine manage-
ment of Mrs. W. H. A. Pickett, Mrs.
Nance, Mrs. Green, Miss Sampson
and others, held interesting meetings
and laid plans for the district and state
conventions which will be held in Apop-
ka and Jacksonville respectively July
and August.

While the reports did not measure
up to the hope and expectation of the
presiding elder, he accepted them in the
spirit of a father in Israel, and encour-
aged the brethren to make strenuous
efforts to “balance the budget” before
or at the meeting of the board of trust-
ecs.

The committee on resolutions, through
its secretary, S. G. Baker, recomend-
ed the re-endorsements of Drs. A. P.
Postell, for Bishop; E. D. Dempsey,
for Financial Secretary; S. G. Baker,
editor of the Review. These recom-
mendations were adopted and a vote
of thanks was tendered the Presiding
Eider, the officers and members of the
entertaining church, the citizenery at
large for the hospitality slown their
guests.

The closing sermon was delivered by
Rev. S. G. Baker. It was well received
and énjoyed by the large enthusiastic
audience that heard him. The con-
ference closed Saturday morning amidst
great reioicing and appreciation to the
great chieftain of the district.

~ GRACE AT THE TABLE Economies is the Science that in-

vestigates the’ Conditions and laws af-
fecting the production, distribution,
and consumption of wealth. or the -ma-
treial means, of satisfying human de-
sires.

Society is the relationship of man as-
sociated in anyway to one another.

Politics is the science dealing /with
the organization, regulation, and ad-
ministration: of a State, in both jits in-
ternal and external affairs.

Specifeally religion is ‘conformity in
faithand/life to: the precepts inculcated
in the Bible srespecting conduct of life’
and duty toward.'God and man.

Phenomena ina general.sense con-
stitute any, observable facts: or eyents;

In line with these definitions eco-
nomic, social, and political phenomena
do have inescapable religious signifi-
cance.

Economies has to do with: life; society

with life, religion is a way of life. There-
fore life and religion are alike. They

FRIENDS OR FOES?

“Ye are my friends if ye do whatso-
ever I have commanded you.”—John
15:14.

We are either His friends or His foes.
We have no right to call ourselves
His friends unless we do His command-
ments. Many followed him for the
“loaves and fishes.’ not |
His friends because they did not pos-
sess His spirit; nor were they willing
to identify themselves with His sufter-
ings. They accepted of His hospitality ;
received blessings from Him, both
spiritual and temporal. but they were
not His friends.

“Ye are my friends if ye do? There:
is that word ‘IF”. I read a book, the
other day, in which ‘the author was
talking about the“Lost Chord of Metho-
dism,” . John Wesley-had “they witness
of the spirit.” Have we lost the wit-,
ness or the work; .or have we lost
both?

What right have I to call myself,
a Christian? Does my life conform
to His will? Am I trying daily to ex-.
emplify His Spirit? Am I willing to
deny myself daily, take up my cross,
and follow Him?

Prayer: Fill us O Holy Spirit we
pray until our lives shall become Thine,
In Jesus’ name.—Amen.

walked in the road with'the crowds} and
shared ‘with them their joys and their

tions, the successes, and failures, the

out goes our|horizon, greater-grows the
world in which we live, and. larger is
our own life. Spiritual. friendship is
rarer, yet more needed, than alms or
even preaching. It costs more to be
something to others than to give al-
most anything we have'to them.” There.
are: those who will give us alms. but.
they refuse to give us their Spiritual)
‘iendships. There are those who need
alms but they need Spiritual friend-
ship more than they need alms. This is’
indeed social but in a deeper sense it is

at their home. The members of this

sented the dean with a handsome zip-

ONE DAY FOR THE CHILDREN

One day for the children;

All over the land
In churches are gathering,
A. great joyful band:

We learn about Jesus
So gentle and mild.
And Jesus was once
Just a dear little child,

We try to be like Him,
And we learn the way,
To be good and happy.
On each Children’s Day.

are often very misleading.

ST. LOUIS CHOIR PRESENTS
PAGEANT OF HISTORIC SHAWLS

St. Louis. Mo., May 18—The Victory
Gospel Choir of St. Paul A. M. E.
Church, Rev. Frank Madison Reed,
pastor, presented a “Shawl Pageant”
Thursday, May 12. The Lecture Room
decorated with Oriental Hangings gave
a flitting background for the scenes.
This unique Programme. a rare combi-
nation of talent and comic aptness, di-
rected by the author, Mrs. Violette
Carter Mahr, afforded entertainment to
an approciative audience.

Many colorful shawls were modeled
among which was a shawl now the val-
uable property of Mrs. Anna Lavine
whose history dated back to the War
of Secession. The True Cashmere
Shawls which were originally manu-
factured in Kashmir India were model-
ed. A beautiful tapestry shawl worn
in an Indian Scene was reputed to be
150 years old. Through the courtesy
of Miss Marguerite Kenner a Knitted
Shawl formerly owned by the late Mrs.
Emma Washington of St. Charles, Mo..
was worn, The majority of the shawls
modeled afforded interesting history.

. ian, gave effectively, the history on the

“THE SUCCESS OF THE PULPIT
ORATOR”
By the Rev. D. L. Davis, Pastor of Mt.
Hebron A.M.E. Church
Linwood, Pa.

Among the many fields for oratorial
display, none has been nearly so pro-
lific as the pulpit, in which weekly,
thousands of sermons are delivered by

art. In this multitude of cultivated
orators it would be strong indeed, if
there were not many of superior pow-
ers. And their ‘subject, “The Salva-
tion of Man, is one that lends itself to
fervid and vehement examples of ora-
tory. The pulpit orator who is thor-
oughly in earnest has a
surpassed in its inspiring force by the:
most revolutionary and exciting of po-
litical conditions. As a rule, however,
the incessant repetition of pulpit ora-
tions is apt to quench the fire of elo-
quence in the most earnest of speakers,

and leave a taméness from which few | advance un

escape in the end. Their efforts be-
come forced. They are not due to
single stirring occasions, of passing mo-
ment, but to permanent conditions a-

gainst which it is not casy to maintain | itself into,

mon, to be fully interesting, needs to
surroundings, elevation of sentiment,
words.

tions from the leading pulpit, orators,
therefore, it seems best to take them,

these eloquent men.
and the trained oratory remain, and
with these is associated a living inter-
est in the subject which does not al-
ways inhere in that of the printed ser-
mon.

the science and art of oratory in their
profoundest production, and most il-

mankind.

It is certainly therefore to be hoped
that with increasing facilities for edu-

in the future no abandonment of this
truly Apostolic mode of preaching.

Let the standard be elevated by all
legitimate means, let the pen be a con-

the past be considered as having dem-
onstrated this to be the most excellent

and to falter would be a sin.

God did not put the gas, coal, oil
and minerals in the earth for the
economic royalists. He did not fertilize
these fields to be the reward of the
schemer and politician; He made them
for the sustainance and enjoyment of
His creatures and there can be no
peace on earth until fate strikes the
shackles from the limbs of the poor,
and lifts the latch that opens the door
of opportunity to all mankind and
says; come all ye ends of ‘the earth

righteousness, which exalts a nation
shall become the motivating power
which moves man to action.

The blackest that blights the
world today is the sin of selfishness.
Whatever else Jesus Christ may or
may not have been, He was not selfish.

The moving passion of His heart
was others: :

“Others Lord Yes Others”
Let this my motto be,
Help me to live for Others Lord.

The Lowel Circuit Third. Quarterly
Conference of the Curthbert District
was held in Bethel A. M. E. Church,
eight miles N.E. of Fort Gaines, Clay
County, Georgia, May 21-22, with the
Presiding Elder F. M.- Johnson, pre-
siding. He delivered a most wonderful
sermon which was highly enjoyed by
all. His sermon was found in Daniel
6:10. “Now when Daniel knew that
the writing was signed, he went into
his house; and his windows being open
in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he
kneeled upon his knees three time a
day, and prayed and gave thanks be-
fore his God as he did afore time.” He
brought out many inspiring thoughts.
A large crowd was present, this quar-
ter will be long remembered. We raised
$26.49, the members of Bethel A. M.
E. Church highly entertained the con-
gregation with a large dinner spread.
They are people with broad hearts and
loyal at all time. Both Presiding Elder
F. M. Johnson and Pastor Rev. J.
A. Jewell gave some most interesting
remarks at the closing of the meeting.

are striving to raise$500, and the regu-
lars say we cannot fail.

Two splendid sermons were delivered

stirring sermon and we are satisfied
that our work was well crowned.

The total amount of money raised
