MAKING A PREACHER
“Who hath saved us, and called us
with an holy calling.” II Tim. 1:9.
Prof. Ernest J. Price, of Yorkshire
College makes the following ‘state-
ment concerning the making of minis-
ters: w
“Great churches,” says he, “makes
great ministers” quite as often as great
ministers make great churches. It is
related of one of our great leaders of
a generation ago, that he attributed
his success as a preacher to the fact
that he found himself in charge of a
church which included a number of
finely-cultured and spiritually-minded
laymen, who, as he said, could all, of
them preach a better sermon than he
could preach himself. He had some-
thing to live up to, and in living up to
it, by the grace of God, he became the
preacher he was. In like manner, many
of our ministers today would be doing
much better work if only they had a
congregation to live up to.”
Church members think it over!
Prayer: Help us, Dear Lord, as
members of thy great church, to live
on such lofty plains of spiritual living
that we may be source of help and
power to all we meet. In Jesus name.
Amen.

WHY WORRY?
“Be anxious for nothing; but in
every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God.” Phil. 4:6.
Read Phil. :1-8.
Winifred Rhodes in speaking of the
worries of life expounds: “Problems,
disappointments, setbacks, uncertain-
ties, upsets-these are part of life. To
think about problems is necessary.
Worrying about them does no good,
Worry is an emotional indulgence. It
is easier than constructive thinking
and working, but is subversive in its
essence. ‘I’d be all right if I could
find the solution of my problems,’ said
a woman the other day. Of course!
But are you going to let yourself be
all wrong if you can’t find the solution?
Are you going to let your health and
happiness and the quality of your per-
sonality depend wholly upon things
outside yourself?"
Here you have a forceful present-
ing of one of the major evils of our
modern life. The Apostle advice is an
admirable one: “Have no anxiety about
anything, but make all your” wants
known to God in prayer and entreaty,
ee vines
“THURSDAY, OCTOBER

to walk with Thee today free of worry

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
TO DATE
By John R. Ewers
You and I are living in a period of
vile, vulgar profanity* Until the time
of the World War, I confess that I
never heard the name of God taken in
vain without an intense inner shudder.
\fy father and the men among whom
| grew up never used profanity—they
despised it. It was cheap, a kind of
talk used only by inferior people. Men
who were evidently low might: use it,
but no woman Was supposed to soil
her lips with such expressions. Why
do men swear—did you ever ask your-
self that? No doubt the best expla-
nation is that men, by using big, boom_
ing words, think to add“to the impres-
siveness of what they are trying to say.
If they were actually impressive and if
what they said carried any weight, the
use of profanity would be superfluous.
Jesus said: “Let your “yes” be yes, and
let your “no” be no. In other words
he told us to use honest, clear, straight
speech. : Liicmeog
Last night I sat at a great banquet.
Before and during the dinner I heard
much careless talk. Finally the ora-
tor of the evening rose and began to
speak. Perfect stillness fell upon the
vast hall, rapt attention was given him,
for he eps English that was all
but perfect. His manner was easy,
his his words clear as crystal,

of language. If he speaks beautiful
words with cultured finish, if his voice
is rich and clear, if his articulation is
sharp as Angelo’s chisel, then we know
that a genfleman, an educated gentle-
man is speaking. We do him homage.
He is sufficiently rare to attract and
hold our attention. How quickly and
accurately we judge radio speakers by
the quality of voice and choice of
words. Profanity is a blotch. It is
to a speech what a blot is on a letter
or what a stain is on a wall, It is a
striking blemish. Profanity is ugly, in-
jurious, repulsive, disgusting. Lord
Chesterfield used to say, “No gentle-
man swears.” What would he say to-
day? Have ideals degenerated so
much? ¢
Within the last eighteen years we
have become quite used to profanity.
Consider our plays. -Shocking. Pro-
fanity is now allowed upon the stage.
Has it added anything? Has it made
the stage more impressive? Has it
even caused a ripple of laughter?
Plainly it is a\sign of degeneracy. Call
it ‘realism or whatever you will, the
fact is unchanged. “Many novels have
printed such rank profanity that it is
a wonder the very paper was not burn-"
en by the hot, sizzling words. The
language of the saloons and the broth-
els has been spread all over the pages.
There is no excuse for this: Such
words should be forgotten, not printed
so that they can burn themselves into
our mind and become a part of us.
What has happened upon the stage
and in the books has naturally occured
in companies of people. Not only men,
but also many women, use profanity.
Carelessly, colorfully, stupidly, reckless-
ly God’s holy name is blasphemed.
“Thou shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy'God in vain.” “Our Father—
hallowed be thy name.” Reverence and
profanity are direct opposites. An age
given to profanity cannot possibly be
an age of worship, but rather a time
when the churches are neglected. Look
about you and you will find that this
is true: Worship tends to become
formal—robes, candles, processions,
chants, stained glass, gothic architec-
ture, chancels, pulpits, reading desks,
formal ushers and the like—but how
real is God made and how deeply do
the people feel their need of him?
We do not speak lightly of our moth-
ers, if we love them. We do not use
the names of our children flippantly, if
we care for them. Shall we then take
the name of the Deity uselessly, with-
out due reverence, harmfully? It is
high time for many of us to set a guard
upon our own lips. It is also time to
move out, having conquered ourselves,
against the vile\use of profanity upon
the stage and in books. This is the
hour to cultivate a true appreciation
for clean, straight, beautiful speech.
The next ,step in American culture is
in this direction. How we do appre-
ciate fine language! It is so rare that
we appreciate it the more. Do you
want to cause men and women to lis-
ten eagerly to you? Master the art
of beautiful speaking in words which
are like “apples of gold,” for this is the

A SENTENCE OR SO FROM THE
SWAINSBORO DISTRICT
By Rev. W. H. Morris, P. E.
, Hello friends everywhere! It has
been a few weeks past since you have
heard from us through these columns.
We are so much impressed with the
State Meeting which convened at Ma-
con, Georgia, August last, until we have
been meditating over the same.
It was one of the best meetings of
its kind that it has been our pleasure
to attend anywhere. Everything was
beautifully arranged for the occasion.
Dr. D. L. T. Robinson, pastor of the
| Stewart Chapel A.M.E. Church with
the assistance of the local ministers of
the city, gave us a fine entertainment.
Tuesddy night, August 9th, was a
big occasion for the ministers and lay-
men of the State of Georgia. The
splendid: program was rendered in
honor of Bishop Wm. Alfred Fountain,
our great bishop of the 6th Episcopal
District. He is worthy for any favor-
The men of the Swainsboro District
have worked very untiringly this year
to meet the requirements of the bud~
get. Rev. J. R. Hurley, our pastor of
fear and will make a round report at
the Annual Conference, is a great
meet the budget one hundred per cent.
Rey. J. D. Dixon, our pastor at Wad-
ley, Georgia, is on the battle field and
report at Wrens, Georgia, October
26th. Watch him go over the top!
Rev. J. W. Means, the efficient pas_
tor of the St. Matthew A.M.E.
Church, Louisville, Georgia, who is
marching with his force on the front-
iers of life. He has pledged me a one
hundred percent report. May God’s
richest benediction rest upon this splen-
did pastor. Rev. S. G. Davis, our
pastor at Lofton Circuit, is a ‘war horse
in the time of battle.’ He knows no
fear. He is honest, upright and con-
servative. He has pledged us a fine
report at our Annual Conference.
Spring Bethel is pastored by that
powerful preacher and praying man,
the Rey..A. C. Clark. This is a very
excellent charge and he has promised
to punch the budget without fail.
New Hope Circuit is pastored by that
young Goliath and gospel preacher, the
Rev. B. L. Johnson. He is a sweet
singer and a gospel preacher and a
man of his word. We have his pledge
of a one hundred per cent report at the
Conference. Flemmiag and Dixon
Circuit is pastored by the Rev. Pres-
ton Singleton, that Christ-like type
leader, notwithstanding he has been
building a church this year, yet in the
face of this condition, he promises a
one hundred percent punch on the
budget.
I am also giving you the names of
our Mission pastors of the District,
who have set their targets at the bull’s
eye; Revs. C. E. Greene, Canooche
Mission; R. D. Lawrence, White
Branch Mission; Ulysses Barber,Ros-
ier Mission; G. J. Jones, Marxley
Mission#J. M. Hooks, Stellaville Mis-
sion; S. W. Sims, Mungeon Mission
and W. Gibbons, Avery Mission.
We will meet you at Wrens, Georgia,
October 26th with our banner floating
high in the air. _

Dr. W. M. &. Barnes, a great man
I have known for many years. He is
a man that I believe was called to lead
people, a man that I believe is doing
right. You can depend upon him as
a man of his word. He is serving his
sixth year as Presiding Elder of the
Vicksburg District. He has never fail-

(Continued from page 2)
BISHOP E. J. HOWARD
Fifty years ago, Bishop Henry Mc-
Neil Turner, with faith in God; inspired |
with’ the holy zeal, went forth un-
dauntedly to carry the light of the
gospel of Jesus Christ, to our African
brothers and sisters. The Woman’s
Parent Mite Missionary Society has
given whole hearted cooperation in
supporting the missionary program of
the church at home and abroad. As a
result of your constant devotion to the
cause of missions, through your God
given efforts, the light of Christ has
not ceased to burn wherever it has
been planted by the missionary pioneers
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church. This is an urgent appeal to
the Woman’s Mite Missionary Society
and through them to the Bishops, min-
isters and members of the A. M. E.
Church and to every friend of Christian
missions for prayers and assistance for
our work in West Africa. The needs
are urgent and various. The follow-
ing is a brief summary of several more
prominent missionary enterprises: The
girl’s industrial school and the boy’s
school at Freetown, which haye made a
splendid record down through the

The fact that those Democratic sen-
atorial candidates ably campaigned on
the issue of “white supremacy” it is
‘said “most disgustingly.”
It is feared that these revived cam-
Paign tactics also revives memories of
all the vicious issues and outrages prac_
tised by the defeated slavocracy against
innocent Negro populations of the deep
South in former years. }

in the Protectorate, we must assist in
completing the concrete school build-
ing that is in course of erection. In
Liberia, a very respectable church
building is being erected out of con-
crete blocks under the pastorate of
Rey. P. A. Hope. This church will
be known as the New Eliza Turner

open a primary school in the City of

79.9 percent of the children of

The present immediate needs for our
West African work, requires that we
at once make special efforts to raise
funds to be applied directly to this
work. As Bishop of the 14th Episco-
pal District, which embraces Sierra
Leone, the Republic of Liberia, the
Gold Coast, and Nigeria, and haying
visited three of these countries, being
the first of the A.M.E. Bishops to
visit the Gold Coast. Our appeal for
help is based upon first hand informa-
tion of the conditions, the need and
future out-look of this mission field.
We are calling upon you, my dear
Sisters, as a Missionary Society, and
may I repeat for emphasis, upon the
church as a whole ani all friends of
the cause for help. May we suggest,
that aside from what the Women’s
Parent Mite Missionary Society might
do. through its regular channels, con-
cerning the work in West Africa that
each local society make a special do-
nation in this emergency call. Your
prayers for cooperation will be a bless-
ing to our dear brothers and sisters
over there. God will certainly smile
upon your sincere efforts to fulfill the
injunction of the GREAT COMMIS-
SION. “Go ye therefore and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.”

THE GREAT RE-OPENING OF
ST. PAUL A.M.E. CHURCH
Scottsboro, Alabama
' Rev. T. Oliver, Pastor
This great small church of about
eighty-eight members, under the lead-
ership of our pastor has done eredit-
able work to our great Connection.
We consider our pastor a God send.
When he returned to us last Confer-
ence we were practically worshiping
out of doors. He bore with us until
THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER
British School program.
very finest white lumbermen of
Scottsboro, a true and tried busi-
ness gentleman, a truly wonderful
character in the advancement of good
citizenship and Christianity. We
think of him whenever we enter our
church building and hope to ever sing
his praise. He it was who through the
untiring efforts of our pastor and
his few faithful followers, agreed to
prepare for us a place of worship.
There are numerous white friends
of our town who’ have extended us
their helping hand and to a large and
great extent helped to make our place
of worship possible.
Our pastor has been untiring and
very patient in his effort to make this
accomplishment, such has been made
in the face of such opposition as
would have brought despair to the
heart of a leader less brave, less
courageous and less thrifty.
We have had pastors to come and
go. who brought plans. But stood
idly by while few of our church
leaders washed away their plans and
ideas and left us standing in the
rain. Rey. Oliver stood by too,
watched and pitied our ignorance,
then went bravely and manfully to
werk, often making brick /without
straw with the results we see them at
this present. What are these results?
We have a church building to be
valued at not less than $2,500.00. In-
surance covering loss by storm or fire
to the amount of hundreds of dollars.
We have in treasurer at this present
$76.58. Whenever we look out upon
the scenes of our inheritance we are
compelled to thank God for our good
leader and our good white folk of
our little town of Scottsboro. In
The project by extension| thinking of these we are compelled

supplies, should be provided with cook- to Mr: R. R. Patrick, one of offr
We: feel that this is the time to
make merry. So we have come for-
ward to join in and make this little
mémbership one of the greatest on
the Florence District.
There are few throughout the con-
nection nursing the idea.and cherish-
ing the propaganda that the African
Methodist Church is failing. But
we, who are well aware of the fact
that “The Church cannot loose with
what it has,” must leave these folds
to their own ignorance and look for-
ward to such men as our very own
dear honorable Bishop D. H. Sims
(may God bless him) who rises to a
heavenly statue, when we discern him
in all his array, coming up through
the pages of history, laying the foun-
dation and the way for true unerring
Methodism, with honor and credit to
this race.
We see another coming on the
scene to grace the Bishopric, Dr. J.
H. Clayborn, of Arkansas. May
God spread his advancement.
May God give us more such men
as our own dear young Presiding EI-
der, Dr. C. L. Wright, who preached
our opening sermon. A young man
and a Christian gentleman with won-
derful business tactics and a noble
preacher.
May God give us more such pastors
as Rev. T. Oliver — men who are
patient, untiring leaders to guide us
as we advance in true Methodism.
May the Ministry be -graced with
more such womei as Mrs. F. Oliver
to whom we feel Rev. Oliver owes
one half his credit. She is truly a
wonderful character and a typical ex-
ample of true womanhood.

Dear Dr.
I hear much
much-in the paper about Dr. J. H.

1940, and I have been casting about
in my mind the proper man to follow
him in that office. He has done so
much with the Southern’ Recorder
until it will be hard to get a man to
fill his place but I have in mind one
of the finest men in the|church to
fill the place made so. honorable by
Dr. Clayborn, the race leader, high

losophical genius, and a magnanimous
Philanthropist Fresiding Elder and
Elder of the Greenwood District, of

treasurer of Campbell College, mem-
ber of the executive and trustee board.
He is a great and good man, an
educator, a college graduate and fully
prepared to folloy Dr. Clayborn.,
He is a scholar and writer, a man of
much influence and well experienced,
he’s the proper man for editor for
“the Southern Christian Recorder. Dr.
Scrivens has paid one hundred dollars

was started in 1787 and
-ctional Organization in
greatest
s kind in the world
ganized Richard Allen organized the
African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Thus the African Methodist Episcopal
Church could not have a Mother
Church in America and at the same
time have ‘a founder. So she has no
Mother Church in America, for Richard
Allen was the founder and first Bishop
of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church. And too, the M.E. Church
North was just four years of age when
Richard Allen organized the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, so by
that fact the M. E. Church North was
too young to be a Mother, and can only
be the elder sister of the African Meth-
odist Episcopal Church which she is.
It is significant I think that we should
teach our membership and especially
the children throughout our entire race
group in America, Africa, the Islands
and for that matter the people of the
world, that Richard Allen was the ex-
© and conclusive founder of the
clus.
enti | os frican Methodist Episcopal Church,
which has no Mother Church in Amer-
ica, but an elder sister in Methodism
and in the Lord.
There is a deal in the organization of
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church that is sacred, which makes it
very dear to us. This is as it should
be. The most outstanding example of
Negro ability for self-government to-
day in the United States, comes out of
the fact that the African Methodist
Episcopal Church has existed as a for-
midable organization for nearly 151
rs, which is not only significant, but
attestation of the above statement
as being a fact. The African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church has developed a
leadership throughout the years that
the race supports and according to the
Census has acquired more than $36,-
000,000.00 worth of property, has more
than 6000 Organizations scattered over
the United States, gets out five publi-
maintains two publishing
houses and ten colleges with Western
University Divinity School of Religious
for the training of the Ministry; has a
resident Bishop in South Africa and a
resident Bishop ‘in West Africa, main-
tains work in various, sections of the
country. With all this being true, yet
today the history of the African Meth-
odist Episcopal Church suggests thaf
we should continue as in the days of
cations,
the early fathers of the Church to pre-
sent through our beloved Church an
aggressive CHRISTIANITY, with 4
forward-going record in extending the
borders of the great African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, both at home
and abroad.
The true mission ‘of the Church in
this or any other country, is an out-
growth of spiritual life in service and
example. Therefore, the Foreign Mis-
sion fields are an integal part of our
Denominational life, and also the Home
Mission work. For instance, what do
you think the future of the world would
be and of what value, say in a hundred
years, would the labors and sacrifices

manner, no Denomination, or Chi
congregation can be said to be truly
potential in religious quality, unselfi »]
and universally charitable and saving:
to humanity, unless it extends beyond
something else saying just being promi-
nent. It must go forward in Missions
and in Mission Fields, and should sup-
port the same among the less privileged
and neglected of human beings, both
in the Home and Foreign Mission
Fields in all possible parts of the world.
In keeping with the Command of our —
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the
Fathers of African Methodism have ex_
tended their activities in the advance-
ment of the Redeemer’s Kingdom
through our beloved Church—in which
responsibilities we share at this time
not only to our Country (America), but -
to South and West Africa, South and
Central America, the Islands and for
that matter, as above stated in all pos-
sible parts of the world.
Bishops Wright and Howard are
making good in Africa: But as Bishop
Wright has said, because of the terri-
tory with its great population, together
with the pioneer work and teaching yet
to be done, South Africa should be di-
vided into two Episcopal Districts, with
two Bishops to live in South Africa to,
Supervise that work. A Bishop should
be assigned to West Africa alone, so-
as to properly supervise the work of
that Episcopal District. South and
Central America, Bermuda, West In-
dies and the Virgin Islands should be
made an Episcopal District and a Bish-
op assigned to that Episcopal District
ard live there, with something put be-
hind him in a financial way, with which
to make his administration a. success.
By so doing We would more substantu-.
ally extend the borders of our beloved
Church,
The African Methodist Episcopal
Church has a great opportunity in
South and Central America and the
Islands to do service for the Master
and humanity, and for the advancement
of our great Church. Close Episcopal
Supervision and Christian Education,
play a very great ‘part in the advance-
ment of the Redeemer’s Kingdom a-—
mong men. The Church as a Connec-_
tion in Methodism, that fail to give
sufficient Episcopal Supervision and
Educational interest for the training of
its Ministry for spiritual leadership
among the people will not be-continu-
ously successful in the advancement of
an aggressive Christianity. I, think
that after 151 years of progress that the
African Methodist Episcopal Church —
has made as a formidable Organiza-
tion, she should now take her rightful.
place in all Foreign Fields where our
people are populated. Therefore, to
begin this aggressive forward move-
ment to the front line of service for
God and humanity at the forth-coming —
General, we should make 18 Episcopal _
Districts and elect five new bishops. —
The three new districts could be made
as follows: Viz, make Oklahoma and
Louisiana an Episcopal District, divide |
South Africa into two Episcopal Dis-
tricts, make South and Central Amer-
ica, Bermuda, West Indies and the Vir
gin Islands an Episcopal District. Then
with 18 Episcopal Districts and five new —

our immortal Richard Allen, we wolc

who would be more than glad to point

Jeadership and program. Therefore, let
us “HOLD FAST” the leadership of
the African Methodist - Episcopal
Church and its program by an aggres-
sive ,¢xpansion, seeking earnestly and
prayfully to redouble our membership
with a better trained Ministry for the
spiritual leadership in the development
of Christianity and good citizenship
among our people. Such training as of-
fered by Western University School of
Religious with President F. D. Jordan
at its head, under the dynamic leader-
ship of Rt. Rey. Noah Wellington Wil-
liams, Presiding Bishop of the Fifth
Episcopal District, who in hs travels
throughout the Fifth District has caus.
ed the Flag of African Methodism to
be hung out emblazoned with the fire
of matchless ambition and leadership,
with his wiwfe, Mrs. Helen A. W.
Williams, who in her travels with him
carries sunshine throughout the Dis-
trict.
I'cannot see how we can afford not
to elect five new Bishops and make 18
Episcopal Districts at the forth-coming
General Conference in’ a time like this,
when we must face and fight our hard-
est battle to maintain the formidable
leadership of the African Method Epis-
copal Church. There are many fine
young men of splendid training, of
tried and true loyalty, with progres-
sive leadership qualities who would
make excellent bishops. Some of them
