this world of ours would be more like
the kind of world that our Lord wants

FOLLOWING VISION WITH

Lesson Text: Mark 9:14-29
14 And when they came to the dis-
ciples, they saw a great multitude about
them, and scribes questioning with
them. 15 And straightway all the mul-
titude, when they saw him, were great-
ly amazed, and running to him saluted
him. 16 And he asked them, What
question ye with them? 17 And one of
the multitude answered him, Teacher,
J brought unto thee my son, who hath
a dumb spirit; 18 and wheresoever it
taketh him, it dasheth him down: and
he foameth, and grindeth his teeth,
and pineth away: and I spake to thy
disciples that they should cast it out;
and they were not able. 19 And he
answereth them and saith, O faithless
generation, how long shall I be with
you? how long shall I bear with you?
bring him unto me. 20 And they brought
him unto him: and when he saw him,
straightway the spirit tare him grievous-
ly; and he fell on the ground, and wal-
lowed foaming. 21 And he asked his
father, How long time is it since this
hath come unto him? And he said,
From a child. 22 And oftimes it hath
cast him both into the fire and into
the waters, to destroy him: but if thou
canst do anything, have compassion
on us, and help us. 23 And Jesus said
unto him, if thou canst! All things are
possible to him that believeth. 24
Straightway the father of the child
cried out, and said, I believe; help
thou mine unbelief. 25 And when Je-
sus saw that a multitude came running
together, he rebuked the unclean spirit,
saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf
spirit, I command thee, come out of
him, and enter no more into him. 26
And having cried out, and torn him
much, he came out: and the boy be-
came as one dead; insomuch that the
more part said, He is dead. 27 But Je-
sus took him by the hand, and raised
him up; and he arose. 28 And when
he was come into the house, his dis-
ciples asked him privately, How is it
that we could not cast it out? 29 And
he said unto them, This kind can come
out by nothing save by prayer.

to him that believeth. Mark 9:23.

The demoniac boy is only a type of

Can the church enter the slum and

the church come down to these lost

Nothing is more dangerous, nothing

Sometimes this is emotional and at

people who enjoy a prayer-meeting.
It seems to relate them to God. It
seems to give full play to emotionalism.

“No, T didn’t,” replied the neighbor,
“but I thought he would if he ate

AFTERNOON MEETING—At 3:30
o'clock in the afternoon, the main
auditorium of the church was filled
with representatives from many sister
churches of the city showing by their
presence and their contributions both
intellectually and financially their be-

guest speaker for this service was Mrs.

We, your committee on resolution
feel that the coming of, Bishop David

of his giant-like intellect and in-

Mantle of leadership laid down by the

rays kissing and blessing the entire

our parent Richard Allen, the sainted
and revered progenitor of African

former pastor of Allen A. M. E.

| There are two purposes placed be.
fore us in this meeting. The firs
one is that we shall each think care.
fully about and hunt earnestly for the
stories and the poems that we like
best. To do this we can use our Bibles
our school books, magazines and aa
pers, or any other sources which yjjj
provide good stories. We should ce-
cide in our own minds what we think
to be the points which make a story
or a poem stand high in our own esti-
mate, and by using these very points
we should come to a decision.
(If the proper plans for this meeting
have been made in advance. the Jun
iors have already done this choosing,
and now come to the meeting to pre-
sent and defend their decisions.)
The second purpose is to compar:
the stories and poems chosen by thx
Juniors, and to see whether they meet
with common approval. Are there
some which should be discarded because
they do not meet the best standards
Ate there some which have not been
chosen by any Junior, but which shoul
certainly go into any list? Can we
make a list of stories and poems which
we can recommend to our own Juniors
and to others?
What the Juniors Will Talk About
(The Juniors must be given every en-
couragement to do their own hunting
and to reach their own conclusions
but this must be done in advance. I!
choices are made in the meeting, they
will not be thought-out choices, and
therefore they will not be dependable
The following suggestions may be
used as guides by the Juniors.)
1. Among Bible stories few will
equal the one about the prodigal son

emotions of home and family life.
5. The story of the Great Stone
Face, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, teaches
the following of high ideals.
6. The story of Robinson Crusoe
points out how a person may overcome
tremendous obstacles by patience and
inventiveness. _
7. “Little - Women”

Dr. H. M. Collins spoke as never

National Broadcasting Co. This was
a great message. His speech before
the Bishops’ Council was a master-
piece. It would be a fine step upwards
for the General Church to elect Dr.
Collins to the Bench at the next Gen-
eral Conference. He has served the
church from a Mission to the largest
church in the Connection. He has
served as College President and is

REV. RUSSELL BROWN
A.M.E. CHURCH and for that
One of the greatest occasions in the
gest Easter in years, Bethel in Chicago
closes a great Lenten season with
FIFTY EIGHT (58) accessions, fifteen
of whom were conversions, and ap-
mat- | proximately $2,000 added to her Build-
ter in the Nation will be held in the
Rocky Mountain Region, May 15-22,
when Shorter African M. E. Com-
munity Church burns the Mortgage on
the new great Shorter. Several
Church dignitaries will come to Den-
yer for the event.
Rt. Rev. Noah W. Williams, the
Presiding Bishop of the Fifth Episco-
pal District will be guest speaker, May
15, and assist with the Mortgage Burn-
ing in the afternoon.
Rt. Rev. J. A. Gregg, Presiding
Bishop of the Fourth District and
former prelate over the Fifth, will
speak, Sunday, May 22.
Others who will attend the Week’s
festivities are Revs. A. Wayman Ward
of Bethel, Chicago who was pastor
during the erection of the new church
and J. M. Brown of Pasadena, Cali-
fornia, who helped save the Church
during the Depression period.
The $50,000 balance debt on Shorter
has been raised entirely under the
leadership of Rev. Russell Brown, the
present pastor.
ST. JOHN A.M.E. CHURCH
Conshohocken, Pa.
Dr. I. N. Patterson, Presiding Elder
of West Philadelphia District held his
last quarterly meeting on March 14th,
and was paid in full, was well pleased
at the grand work done by such few
people.
The officers and members, wish to
thank the many friends for co-operation
with them. under the leadership of
Rey. H. T. Pembleton, he has practi-
cally given us a new church. It has
been stouccoed on the outside, painted
inside and out, a new roof, and outside
conveniences. Two persons have join-
ed the church and $25.00 paid on the
mortgage and we want to thank Bro.
Wm. Docken and his club for their
wonderful support. Rev. H. T. Pem-
Los Angeles, Calif.
ing Fund. Pastor A. Wayman Ward
has quietly built up a strong reserve
fund with which to begin the construc-
tion of the New Bethel Cathedral under
a program that shall carry it to full
completion, once work actually begins.
The congregation has been greatly re-
vived under the leadership of Dr. Ida
Mae Myller in the special ev angelistic
services, and moves forward now with
a spirit of unity that has not marked
the church for several years. There is
much promise that this the tenth year
of the present pastor will prove to be
his best, a most unusual thing for one
who succeeds himself thru so extended
a period.
Crowds had to be turned away on
Easter Sunday morning, when Pastor
Ward delivered his message on “He
That Over Cometh.” Twenty five of
the accessions were had on that day.
Bishop Edward J. Howard was a sur-
prise guest. He returns to preach for
Bethel on Sunday morning, April 24.
Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr. was a re-
cent guest preacher. Bethel is still in
Chicago, and extends her greetings to
African Methodism everywhere, with
an invitation to worship with her at
729 Oakwood Blvd. when in Chicago
Pastor Ward may be reached at 538
East 34th Street at “The Ward Arms.”
Drop in sometime.
Bethel will be the
mortgage burning of Shorter Chapel
in Denver, Colo. on May 15 by Rev
A. Wayman Ward, its builder, and
other Chicagoans.

CHURCH SENTENCE
FOR WIFE BEATER
BELLINGHAM, Wash., April 16—
(UP).—A longshoreman here has been
sentenced to regular church attendance
on an assault conviction. He was ar-
rested for beating his wife.’

| CHILD BITES SNAKE’S HEAD
| GREER, S. C., April 16 (AP)—
, Dr. T. O. Walker had a rush call—
Dewey Turner’s 3 year-old daughter
'\vas playing in the yard with a snake.
He reported he arrived just in time to
!see the child bite off the garter snake’s
head with no harm to herself.
| RACE NOT RELIGION
‘The merger of the 3 Methodist bodies
has degenerated into a racial question—
that is, the Southern brethren opposed
to the merger have made itso. Where
the racial question is dragged in any
question, as a rule, leave is taken of
“honor, manhood and manners.” Logic,
facts and fair play go out of the win-
dow insofar as those haters of the Ne-
gro race are concerned. Opponents of
the merger for the want of decent and
sensible argument say things so ab-
surd that one must wonder if they are
1 | really honest in such. Mr. James W.
\ Liscomb is the president of the lay-
men’s organization that is resorting to
every trick in the trade to defeat a
favorable vote in the General Confer-
ence of the Church, South. Of the
propaganda of this organization Bishop
Wm. Ainsworth of that church says “it
transgresses all bounds of reason and
propriety.” That organization says
that a merger will mean mixed mar-
riages and such foolishness. Mr. Lip-
scomb “rejoices that in the territory of
the Methodist Church, South, there is
not located a single one of the 28
states in which blood mixture is leg-
alized.” It may be noted that Mr.
Lipscomb uses the word legalized. No
doubt he uses that word deliberately.
As long as the mixture is illegal to him
it seems O.K.. but what a sin to be
LEGAL. If there is a more absurd
argument that the merger of religious
bodies will mean a mixture of races,
the intelligent mind has not yet con-
ceived of it.
“WINGS OVER JORDAN”
The Negro now has a nationwide
audience over the air which affords him
the opportunity to reveal to America
the better side of Negro life, culture
and group achievement. This has been
made possible chiefly “through the
foresight and energies of the Rev.
Glenn T. Settle of Cleveland, O., who
conceived the idea and is now director
of a Sunday Radio Program known as
“WINGS OVER JORDAN.”
This program is broadcast from Sta-
tion WGAR, Cleveland, and is carried
throughout the nation over the facil-
ities of The Columbia Network System,
each Sunday morning at 9 o’clock, Eas-
tern Standard Time. The programs are

THE PRIMROSE CAMPAIGN
Pres. Frederick D. Jordan, Western
University
Dr. S. S. Morris and our Depart-
ment of Religious Education is to be
heartily commended for bringing to
the church at this time The Primrose
Campaign for enlargement and enlist-
ment for the Youth activities of the
church. It is particularly timely. Just
now when the spiritual element in our
lives has been strengthened and re-
vitalized by the meditations and exer-
cises of Lent. We are in need of tasks
to which our awakened enthusiasms
may be harnessed. What task is more
challenging in its urgent demands and
more heartening in its promise of re-
ward than this one.
Youth today needs a vital experi-
ence of the reality of God. No alliter-
ation of catch-phrases will suffice. No
program of activities however exten-
sive, presented as a bait to catch and
hold the youth to the church will be
effective. The old Christian Endeavor
rallying cry, born on the lips of youth
itself must again be raised, “For Christ
and the Church.” We can save the
youth to the church only if we first
save them to Christ.
Let us heartily join in the Primrose
Campaign. Let us seck new members
for our Sunday School and Allen Chris-
tian Endeavor League. Now is the
time to gather those boys and organize
a Boy Scout Troop. Nine months of
outdoor activities are before us. Ac-
cept the aid of this character building
program in your fight against Juvenile
delinquency. What about your young
people’s’ Missionary Work. Are the
heroic labors of our foreign mission-
aries to fail? Shall the “Heavenly vis-
jon” being promoted with such. self
sacrifice by Bishop Wright and the
other Bishop's in the foreign field go
for naught? What are you doing to

these stones? When
crossed the Jordon, and was
commanded to carry a pile of stones,
out to the other side, anticipating a
question like the above; their leader,
Joshua explained:
“That this may be a sign among
you, that when your chiidren ask their
fathers in time to come, saying, what
mean ye these stones? Then ye shall
answer them, that the waters of the
Jordan were cut off before the Ark of
the Covenant of the Lord when it pass-
ed over Jordan; and these stones shall
be a memorial unto the children of
Israel forever.”
INSPIRED by the ideals and history
of the great A.M.E. Church, and in
order that a monument marking its
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH
YEAR of work and progress in the
field of Christian Evangelism and race
development may -be erected, the pas-
tor, officers and members of Allen
Chapel A.M.E. Church, 1628 Patton
St., Memphis, Tenn. have resolved to
erect a modest but beautiful structure
to be known as the Allen Chapel Sesqi-
Centennial Memorial A.M.E. Church,
that it may mark the 150th milestone of
our march in the conquest to bring the
world to Christ. And shall be to the
glory of God and for the inspiration of
coming generations. That when our
children shall ask, what means these
brick and stones? on South Third St.
(our new location) We can answer,
“The Great A.M.E. Church halted
here in June, 1937 to celebrate the One
Hundred and Fiftieth year of religious
freedom for the Negro in America.”
We have resolved by prayer, and the
ingathering of dimes from the mem-
bership of the A. M. E. Church
throughout the connection, and
from friends far and near, and through
the influence of our brethren, to col-
lect the mecessary funds for the erec-
tion and equipment for whatever is to
be known as The Allen Chapel Sesqi-
Centennial Memorial A.M.E. Church
in Memphis, Tenn.
We therefore beg you to join in this
chain of dimes. Send Us A Dime!
Ask your friend to send a dime! Ask
the members of your church to send a
dime. Lift a Dime collection from your
congregation, and send it to us. Get a
Dime from any lover of the cause.
A DIME WILL BUY AND LAY
ONE BRICK IN THIS BUILDING.
So send a dime and buy and lay a brick
today.

STATEMENT BY THE

Considering the universal c onfusion
that obtains today as it relates to the
political, spiritual, social, and econo-
mic conditions in governments and or-
ganizations of varous kinds, whch has
reflected itself in the general mission-
ary movements throughout the world,
and that our
throughout our foreign fields are look-
ing to us for guidance according to
the polity and program of the African
Methodist Church; we deem it unwise
for anyone to visit and explore these
fields in the interest of our foreign
missionary work, except the regular
constituted heads of our missionary
setup at this time.
Further, that to the
under whose permission our mission-
ary work is being supplied in the va-
rious sections we g ive this informa-
tion for their protection and that they
may understand the African Metho-
dist Church in its missionary endeavors.
