Rev. M. P. Harvey, the P. E. of
the Bonham District, held the/Fourth
Quarterly Conference with the Cain
Chapel A.M.E. Church, Rev. J~ T.

delphia Preachers’ Meeting on Monday | Langham, pastor. This quarter proved

successful, all around quarters ever
held in the sixty-two years of Cain
Chapel’s history. Closing, out Sunday
night, Rev. Harvey delivered to a
large congregation a wonderful ser-
mon. Selected for the text: “How
shall we sing the Lord’s' song in a
strange land?” Psalms 137-4. “Rev.
Harvey hid himself behind the cross
of the crucified Savior.

He closed out a very pleasant and sue
cessful year’s work; and, it is beyond
contradiction, that this was the best
all round quarter in the history of our
Church. We were glaced with visi-
tors from Denison, Rev. J. E. Austin,
our pastor of the Quinn Chapel A. M.

the! E. Church who also gave us a soul-

stirring message, he was accompanied
by one of his officials, Bro. Swinger.
Rev. F. S. Stephen, our pastor of
Honey Grove, Bro. Beckner, of Okla.,
Prof. E. C. Ervin, the principal of our
High School, and several other friends
we will not mention, all went away
singing the praises of Rev. Langham
and his members. Rev. Langham is a
tireless worker, and too much cannot
be said for this splendid pastor. The
amount raised in this Conference
$155.00.

They were unanimous in asking
the return of Rev. Langham for

Topic for October 9 |
Training in Friendship
For the Moslem World
2. What Do Moslems Believe?
Heb. 1:1-4
If You Were a Moslem—

What would you believe, and how
would you come t9 your faith? It is
not hard to be definite, for practically all
Moslems have come to the points of
belief, and their belief and practices
are so woven together that the creed
is universal, and is not capable of pri-
vate use. These are the six articles of
the creed:
I believe:

That there is no god but Allah;

I believe:

In his angels; his books; in his apas-

tles, and that Mohammed is the last
of them; in the Last Day; in the pre-
destination by Allah of good and evil.

Some people think that because Mo-
hammedans believe so strongly in one
god they cannot be very far from Chris-
tianity. But the character which they
attribute to him is far different. Toa
Moslem, Allah is arbitrary, absolute.
He controls every port of man’s action.
He is in complete charge of good and
cvil, and man-can do nothing about it.

There are three kinds of spirit be-
ings: angels, jinn, and devils. These
are ever present, and keep their sub-
jects in. fear and dread. When any-
thing dreadful does happen, or there is
some undesired condition, it is easy to
say “Allah willed it and sent a jinni.”

The Koran is considered by Moslems
as the perfect revelation of Allah, and
is the climax of Godis message to man.
It és a little smaller than the New Testa-
ment, with 114 chapters, but it has no
logical order or arrangement. Some ot
its chapters read like the psalms, but
many are vague and meaningless. (It
weuld aid the meeting if a copy of the
Koran could be held up before the
Juniors. Many public libraries have at
least one copy, which they would be
giad to lend.) ge

Islam recognizes many Jewish and
Old Testament persons, including Adam,
Noah, Abraham, and Moses. It also
gives a place to Jesus, but it isa place
below that taken by Mohammed, who
is the “last and best” of all the apostles.

Future reward for good and punish-
ment for evil are very real to Moslems.
The Last Day will see the decisions of
Allah, and heaven will be a delight
while hell will be torment forever.

Belief that God orders the minutes
details, without man’s being able to do
anything about it, relieves man of ac-
cepting responsibility. “If God. wills”
becomes a condition to every agree-
ment, and explanation for every suc-
cess or failure.

_ (The superintendent will sec to it
that, as these points of belief are pre-
seited, there will be a careful compar-
ison made to the Christian point of
view.- E 5

“The Chinese farmers will go on liy.

FREEDOM IN THE FREE STATE

Maryland conservatives have been in
a lather lately about the danger of dic.
tatorship, the suppression of American
political institutions, individual, rights,
State’s rights and so forth. The Balti-
more Sun, in a series of vigorous first.
page editorials in support of Senator
Millard TFydings, did all it could to en-
courage this hysteria. ,

The President’s visit to the Eastern
Shore, where he made a mild speech in
which he expressed a wistful prefer-
ence for Tydings’ opponent, was hailed
by the clique for which the Sun speaks
as the climax of campaign to crush
liberty in the “Free State” of Mary-
land. i

On that same Eastern Shore last
week the town of Snow Hill ordered
all unemployed Negroes to leave im-
mediately under pain of arrest. Not
all of them did. The police went into
action Saturday nighf on the streets
of Snow Hill.

One Negro was killed by a police
man’s bullet, another was wounded.

In its news columns the Sun explains
that Snow Hill employers attracted
migratory labor “from other States”
and when the canneries closed the
town authorities wanted this labor to
go back where it came from—quick
The Sun says: if

“Byrd, a wholesale merchant and
Mayor here for 22 years, said ihe city
had officially notiled the owners of
two restaurants for Negroes here to
close at once.”

That doesn’t leave much doubt as to
Snow Hill’s attitude toward the liber-
ties about which the Sun\ was scream-
ing a few weeks ago.

But what is the Sun’s editorial atti-
tude toward the Snow Hill outrages?
Buried on the third column of its edi-
torial page is this:

“But even Snow Hill, as harassed as
she may be and doubtless is, should not
accept as inevitable the quick gun-play
of police officers, which seems to have
been the outstanding feature of her
Present unpleasantness. One Negro
has been killed by a policeman. An-
other has been wounded. The ¢ir-
cumstances surrounding one and pos-
sibly both: of these ‘incidents’ are of a
sort which makes it not unlikely that
they will be useful for making a scan-
dal.”

A scandal? Dear, no. A scandal
might hurt the “Free State's” reputa-
tion for freedom. K

YOUTH CRIME RATE

The Chicago crime among the youth

in Negro communities has reached such].

a high rate that the Works Progress
Administration has begun a study
which might help for the purpose of
determining the factors which are con-
tributing to the problem of crime and
juvenile delinquency among Negro
youth.

youth over the
more and more

Crime among the
country has become
alarming during the last few years,
and it has not been hard to present
statistics to refute those who attempt
to argue that vice and crime among the
young people of today is no worse than
if was among those of yesterday.

The situation in Chicago is so alarm-
ing and baffling that more than one
hundred qualified persons are making a
study of cultural and racial factors
which enter into the problem >f crime
among youth. ‘

It is stated that the WPA project
which has already proved its value is
now serving as a model for similar
studies in other cities. To this ,The
Leader gives sanction, and we hope
that our own community may be in-
cluded in the study.

W.H. & F.M. SOCIETY STATE
CONVENTION NEWS
Greenwood,’S. C.

By L. R. Jennings

The State Convention of the W.H.
& F. Missionary Society met in An-
nual Session at Greenwood, S. C.
Sept. 8 and 9. The Rey. B. H. Gray
was the entertaining pastor. The wel-
come accorded our beloved President, }-
Mrs.-S. L. Flipper and the large num-
ber of delegates was hearty and so
sincere that one felt like it was real
home. There were representatives
from all parts of South Carolina. The
dear old State is following, a great
leader with a great program. Thurs-
day morning the annual sermon was
preached by Rev. J. L. Benbow, P. E.
of the Kingstree District. He selected
as a text Acts 16:9. His theme, “A
Cry For Help.” Following the sermon
that vast number of delegates dressed
in white knelt and partook of the Holy
Communion. Organization perfected
and Committees appointed.

After appropriate remarks by the
President, the Convention was set in
action. The convention always looks
forward to the presence of the P. E.
and ministers and they were there fully
one hundred percent in their contri-
bution to the success of the meeting.
They were introduced and made wel-
come by Mrs. Flipper.

Some of the subjects discussed were
“Reaching the Unreached in Church
Circles,” “What Shall Be the Place of
the Cross in the Religion of the
Twentieth Century?” “Facing the Hor-
izon.”

Each participant did credit to herself
and the Convention was greatly bene-
fited by these rich discussions, well, |
some said it’s just good to be here, and |
we were not ready to leave. -

The State Quartette, headed by Mrs. 6
V. E. Murray, added, much to the con-
vention, the selections were tich in.
harmony and rare in interpretation.

Mrs. M. L. Witherspoon, the song
bird, was heard occasionally. Mrs.
V. T. Ellis had charge of the art cor-
ner,

The high points of the first day eye-
ning session were the president’s an-
nual address and the local program.

Mrs. Flipper had a message and Mt.
Pisgah Church was thronged with eager
listeners to receiye it. This masterly
address was presented in such a force-
ful manner that South Carolina was
convinced that Mrs. S. L. Flipper is

tention to the Youth Movement; so
much is wrapped up in the young peo-
ple that too much space cannot be
given them. They are our future.

She said they must be guarded mor-
ally, educationally and religiously; this
we can do not by precept, but by setting
example and making them a matter of
prayer. She emphasized the interest
in Mission work, said she, true relig-
ion in our Missionary work will pro-
duce a revolution in our Missionary
field.

The Convention was very cordially
welcomed by local talent. :

Friday morning was given to discus-
sion. of subjects, reports, meeting of
executive committee, and plans were
made for the Quadrennial Convention.
Mrs. Annie Sanders was elected State
leader.

Some of the pleasing features of the
afternoon were, the Dramatization of
temperance by. Mrs. Ruth Dinkins and
others; Demonstration of “Home and
its Care’—by Mrs. Rosa Gadsden.

The session was fittingly brought to
a close by the State-wide Oratorical
Contest with Mrs. Carrie McGill, sup-
erintendent of Young People’s Depart-
ment in charge. The program was
most creditable and proved that con-
clusively that the young people had
been well trained. The winner, Mr.
William Miller of the N. E. Confer-
ence.

A donation was sent to the churches
at Camden, Conway and Abbeville. The
President thanked all for their cooper-
ation; South Carolina promised their
moral support and financial aid, to this
our great leader. Thus ended a great
meeting. A success from the time of
the opening hymn Thursday morning to
the Benediction Friday afternoon by
Rey. P. M. Gary. We adjourned
with Newberry as our host for 1939.

CAMDEN, N. J.

Bethel A.M.E. Church, Camden, N

evening,

ly Conferences Wednesday
Sept. 7. After quarterly conference
convened, we were lead to God through
prayers by Brother John Cooper. Sis-
ter Amy Pierce was elected Secretary
of the Quarterly Conference, upon tak-
ing her seat, roll was called. Incle-
ment weather caused the attendance to
be small. Reports from various boards
were read. Presiding Elder Smith laud-
ed the Church upon its spleudid re-
ports for the first and second quarters,
also emphasis was placed upon the
church’s standing, spiritually as well as
financially, splendid remarks fell from
the lips of our pastor, Rev. H. L. Van
Buren. Quarterly Conference was dis-
missed by singing, “God Be With You
‘Til We Meet Again.”

BLAKELY, GA.

Rey. F. M. Johnson of the Cuthbert
District and the Southwest Georgia
Annual Conference has served in the
Church from the humblest Mission to
| Presiding Elder in our Church and with
so much dignity and love over the
ministers and laymen of his District,
and is loved by all. The connection
would not make any mistake in elect-
ing him one of our Bishops at Detroit
in 1940. The Scripture teaches us
that he that desires the office of a bish-
op desires a good office, but he must
be blameless. The husband of one
wife, sober, ruling his house well, all
of which qualities Dr. Johnson posses-
ses. \

AN OCCASIONAL LETTER
Bishop J. A. Gregg, Sept. 1, 1938

Last Sunday night, at Davenport,
lowa, we closed the third series of the
Conferences of the Fotrth District.
That means’ that are just half
through. I am yery glad to report
that every Conference reported over
last year, in spite of the fact that there
were two heavy falls off in the North-
western Conference. Even this Con-
ference as a whole, reported some six-
ty dollars over last year. Not a single
point inthe Ontario and Michigan Con-
ferences reported a decrease from last
year. May the other three Conferences
do as well.

BISHOP FLIPPER SAYS BRYANT

1S OKAY, SAYS HEADS
ARE WRONG. ~

(By Southern Negro Press)

ATLANTA, Ga,—Because he refus-
ed to serye as president of the board of
the -A.M.E. Sunday School Union
does not mean that he is not with Ira
T. Bryant, Bishop Flipper, senior Bish-
op_of the church, stated in an interview
at his home this week.

Regarding the law suit which Bishop
Monroe Davis brought against Mr.
Bryant to recover the Sunday School
Union property at Na ashville, Bis
Flipper says: he is taking no part.

Tra Kia Bryant is the best man in the

A.M.E. Church, the senior bishop
site “He is honest and he has~not
published any lies about the bishops.
lf they are lies, why don’t they sue
him?

“The reason I refused to. serve on
the bdard as president is because the
bishops including myself asked to have
the Sunday School Union charter
changed. At present, and under the
present charter’ the A.M.E. Church
lias nothing to do with the election of
secretary-treasurer of the Union. The
board elects him. We voted in 1924
to change that charter, and it hasn’t
been changed is why I refused to serve
the board as president.

_ -“However, this has nothing to do
with my friendship for Mr. Bryant.
He is absolutely right in his fight. At
the general conference he put up no
fight to be re-elected because the
church couldn't re-elect him. I told
Selby at the General Conference after
his clection that if he got in at Nash-
ville ‘the: courts’ would put him in,
