leadership of Jesus,
Jesus was a teacher. He entered the
synagogue on the Sabbath day and
taught. Those who heard him were
astonished because he taught as one
having authority and not as the scribes,
The scribes had their fingers in their
books, and quoted verse for verse and
reference for reference unti Itheir
hearers walked away or went to sleep.
Jesus closed the book and out of a rich
spiritual experience taught them the
way of life His thoughts were gems,
his words were nuggets of gold. No one
leit, no one went to sleep. He inter-
ested them. He told them something
they never knew. He gave them hope.
Jesus was a healer. A man sitting
among his listeners in the temple and
possessed of an unclean spirit cried
out to Jesus: “What have we to do
with thee. Jesus
The man had sufficient sanity to under-
stand that different and

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
TO DATE
By John R. Ewers
Only eyes with a piercing insight, in-
spired by God, could have seen a spiri-
tual kingdom as at hand in the day of
John the Baptist and of Jesus. Rome
held a cruel control over Palestine.
It was a material rule, seeking for
tax-money and for political advantage,
You may say that Rome gave peace,
order, authority, legal justice and uni-
formity of governmental oversight. All

Aside from the Christian faith, relig-
tons were dead. The gods were the
objects of obscene joking; religion was
a farce.
In Palestine the Jewish faith Was pre-
tentious, formal and largely impotent.
The Pharisees made an attempt to
keep the very letter of the law. They
were punctilious, argumentative, sterile,
Jesus said that they observed the tiny,
inconsequential matters and Passed over
justice, mercy and righteousness. The
Sadducees played the game with the
Roman authorities. They talked about
angels, but secured the government's
appointments. The Zealots were much
more political than religious and were
incessantly starting a revolution and
being beaten into submission, Juda-
ism was just another case of an old,
established cult which had degenerated
into formalism and had lost its divine
power and, consequently,
power,

couragement to face in both the politi-

The imprisonment of one leader is
always succeeded by the appearance
of another, if God is in the cause,
Jesus did not appeal to the authori-
ties because he was the atithority.
The sermon and the démoniac are
usually near to each other, A sermon
that does not drive out some devil is
not much of a sermon.
Evil sometimes knows its enemies
better than the righteous know their
friends.
It always starts a lot of talk when
anyone tries to drive out some devil.
That's the reason why some churches
are never mentioned.
The evil spirit was vanquished, not
by a new teaching but by a new life,

A NEW YEAR’S PRAYER
O Lord, give me
\ motto true,
To help me sing
The New Year through.
That I to men,
Thy loye may show,
The answer came:
“My will to know.”
Thy will I’ve learned
From childhood up!
Will that with joy,
Fill this year’s cup?
Or is there more
That must ensue?
“Yes, this thing more:
My will to do.”
My Lord, that task
Is harder still;
But done, will that
Give song its thrill?
Again that voice;
Came from above;
“Learn this, my child:
My will to love.”
“To ‘know’ my will
Is smallest part;
That's where all lads
Like you, must start:
While doing is
The testing thing,
But they who ‘love.’
Are they who ‘sing’.”
JOHN GRANT NEWMAN
LIFE’S FOUR SEASONS
By E. S. Hanson
What does life mean to me? I am
twenty, and bold—
I shall take from the world what my
fancy desires:
The wealth and the fame,
The love and the glory,
Shall be fused into one by Youth’s
ardent fires—
My power shall endure; I shall never
grow old!
What dose life mean to me? I am
forty, and strong—
Hand and brain are helping the world
to succeed;
Its progress in commerce,
In science and art.
Are a part of my toil in humanity’s
need,
To the work! Time is short and etern-
ity long!
What does life mean to me? I am
sixty, serene, -
¥ Iam handing to others the tools of my
‘ art,
Not in the battle front,
But at the council board,
Must I without choice take my lingering
Part,
Ce eee ee eee
EEE EEE EE EEE EET
With a shade of regre’
that has been.
Just to live a full Ifie
Has been well worth the living;
Rich in years and in seryice, my time is
complete,
And I wait the homecoming with trust
and content,

SNAPPY STORIES
MAKE IT SNAPPY
A farmer objected to his pastor get-
ting $50.00 per week for preaching two
sermons. He argued, “that’s $25.00
per hour.” The next week the farmer
brought a load of wheat to the mill.
The minister happened to be there and
watched him unload, then go into the} confirmed and the Presiding Elder left | OU such as the meaning of the Sc;,
office and get a check for $250.00 for
the wheat. “See here,” said the minis-
ter, “you objected to me getting $25.00
per hour and you are making ten
times that.” “Oh, no,” said the farmer,
“I just come to the mill to unload.”
“And so do I just go to the pulpit to
unload,” said the minister. “I see the
point,” said the farmer, “and I’m go-
ing to pay more toward your salary,
but hereafter, pastor, please don’t take
so long to unload.”
A DEEP SEA DRIVER
“My pastor is like a deep sea driver,”
a layman remarked.
“How’s that?”
“He dives deep into the truth, stays
under a long while, and comes up dry.”

He discovered that b coming in contact with air and water its
color became reddish. this man worked several days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor sk irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time w as noticeably helped
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him.
Then people in the neighborhood began tp examine and experiment
with this grayish clay and soon found that *t contained medicinal quali-
ties.

THE FIRST GENERATION OF
NEGRO LEADERSHIP
I was born in July 1863, six months
after Lincoln's Emancipation Procla-
mation, I may, therefore, take my own
life’s span as a yardstick to measure
the entire progress of the race under
freedom.. We may reckon sixty to
seventy years as a completed genera-
tion, allowing thirty years to develop
and mature, thirty years to function
and tem years to decline. In terms of
this scale of measurement I have wit-
Wessed the leadership of three genera-
tions, cach overlapping the other.
I. The generation’ which was called
into action by the aftermath of the
Civil War functioned during the tragic
Era of Reconstrution and passed off
the stage towards the end of the 19th
Century, {
Il. My own generation born admist
the fire and smoke of the Civil War
reached maturity about the beginning
ee of the new century and exercised leader-
Sy: ship and direction of racial life until the
coming of the New Deal under Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, ~ ;

20th Century is just now assuming the

LAYETTE, INDIANA
From The Truth Seeker
There has appeared from time to
time in the Recorder several very in-
teresting articles. with reference to the
location of the next session of the Gen-
eral Conference. There are two great
cities, two great churches, two great
pastors, inviting the Conference to
come to them. One of these cities, one
of these churches and one of these pas-
tors is in the far away west, where) it
will require thousands of miles and
thousands of dollars to reach it.
The other is more centrally located,
therefore, more easily reached. Each
of these contestants has ample facilites
for the care, comfort, and the carrying
on of the work of the conference. One|
is equal to the other in equipment. The
question is, which one of these cities,
which one of these churches, which one
of these pastors, should the General
Conference go?
The General Conference Commission
will decide this very important matter,
at their meeting in February, Foras-
much as many have taken in hand to set
forth in order, why the conference
should go to Los Angeles, California,
why it should go to Detroit, Michigan,
jt seemed good to me, to line up for
Detroit. Detroit is one of the large in-
dustrial centers of our great country.
It is known far and wide as a conven-
tion city, where large gatherings fre-
quently meet, and receive a hearty and
cordial welcome by its citizens. Ebe-
nezer A. M. E. Church has all the facil-
ites for the comfort. happirtess, and the
working accommodations fora large
gathering like the General Conference
will be. It’s up an doing pastor. Dr.
Raber, young and vigorous will leave
nothing undone. he ‘nor his church to
give to the Bishops, General officers
and delegates superb entertainment.
Detroit is in the Fourth Episcopal Dis-
trict, one of the best districts in the
Connection This district is nresided
over bv the, Chairman of the Commis-
sion. Bishop John Andrew Gregg. He
is known too well throughout the
church for me to say anything about
his persevering and sterling qualities
as a churchman and business man.
“Tf the Conference comes to the
fourth. as it should come as it is the
logical place to meet, and since he is
the President of the Commission, he
should be the host of the Conference.
and he will see to it. that everv detail
is looked after for his guests. With all
this and more too. why take the Gener-
al conference. way out vonder to far
awav California. and place a heavv
burden upon the church. in raising
funds for the exnense of the delegates.
when it can and will be so amply pro-
vided for in Detroit. and save the
church two thirds of the money in
traveling expense? It’s trite we could
go to California. but whv should we go
at this time, when the church is struc-
ating to recover from the financial de-
nression, which has been hanging over
it for the nast seven or cieht vears?
Our western will loose nothing by the
General Conference not going away
ont there. on the western borders of
the Connection. The stirrine ener-
getic. and resourceful Bishop Noah W.
Williams. seconded by that ereat pas-
tor, Dr. Coffins will see that the work
‘does not suffer, until the recession in
,
THE CHRISTIAN
business has passed, 3 aA
There is much to be saved by coming
to the Fourth District and the City of
Detroit. x ‘
Thousands of miles in travel, thous-
ands of dollars in money, large and
wearisom hours in reaching Los Ange-
les. The Master whom we preach,
taught economy, and ‘practiced the
same, so should we, his ambassadors,
and not burden the church unneces.
sarily, Pass the slogan down the line,|
to the Commissicn, the Fourth District,
Ebenezer Church, Dr. Baber pastor,
City of Detroit, the reasonable and
logical place for the meeting of the
General Conference, in nineteen forty.

JUST A FEW DOTS, THAT’S ALL
Bishops S, L. Greene, D. H. Sims and
Dr. George A. Singleton Give Some
Wholesome Advice ‘i
By Dr. J. G. Robinson,
Editor of The A. M. E. Church Review
As usual, I have been carefully read-
ing the church journals of late, and tak-
ing note of the advice given the church
by the Bishops and others: We look
back to the days of Turner, Arnett: and)
Grant, and there are those who some-
times say: “Since they went away, that
we have none to duplicate them, and
give the sane and healthy advice like
they gave in those days.”
KEK
As I said in a previous set of “Dots,”
we have as fine a set of Bishops today.]
as we haye ever had. In fact, in some
things, there is ‘much improvement in
the present set, along many lines.
KEKE t
In a recent editorial in The Southern
Christian Recorder by that fearless
editor, Dri leer. Clayborn, he wrote,
that Bishop Greene was advocating a
larger number of Bishops to mann the
church. Bishop Greene is right. Say
what we will, we can not operate the
church properly, without more Bishops.
Take the work in Arkansas and Okla-
homa, as directed by Bishop Tookes.
The increase in Dollar Money alone is
sufficient to pay the salary of the Bish- |
op, That is also true of Bishops Wil-
liams and Gregg. The fact of this is
because of close Supervision of the
work. But with a Bishop just touching
the big churches, and with too much,
teritory to get over the work, the peo-)
ple get the idea that all the Bishops care
far, is to visit the big ch

but
of the conferences, the
subscriptions came regularly in the
conferences, Bishop Tookes told every
one in case the papers were not sent,
the money paid therefor would be re-
funded. I sent the money to Dr. G. E
Curry as requested. He advised me of
the dissatisfaction of the commission
taken, as it was twice as much as he
wanted to pay. He was then asked to
either send the Papers to the names
sent, or return all money sent him to
Bishop Tookes or this writer, which I
am certain he will do. So if the Chris-

as Dr. Curry returns the money sent
him, a check will be sent you immed-

_L know that to all you real coffee drinkers, good coffee is vitally
paicoctank It makes all the difference, at breakfast, between starting the
day right and wrong. It makes a good luncheon taste just that much
better. And it’s the perfect finishing touch to a delicious dinner. In fact,
you can quite sympathize with the Scandinavians who substitute coffee
and cakes for the English afternoon tea, That’s why I’m so glad to be
able to present to our subscribers this genuine Haitian Coffee—for it
is really a delicious beverage. People who are very critical say that is
without question the best coffee they ever tasted. ...0 5 ick oniemeernene
Perhaps one reason for the excellence of Haitian Coffee is that in
Haiti, where coffee is one of the largest crops, all the coffee is grown
on small plantations worked by the natives. For generations these people
have been proud to maintain the quality of their coffee so much so that
they have never lacked for a market. The only reason that Haitian Cof-
fee is so little known in the United States is that for a long time the
output of Haiti has been absorbed by European countries, especially
France. But now you can enjoy this wonderful drink in your own home
and at the same timd enjoy reading one of the best Church papers. ....
