“BALANCING THE BUDGET” —
What ever that may mean. Well, in
my opinion, the Church of God was

“Kingdom Building,” A Spiritual King-

“Balancing the Budgets,” the more
compact, we arrange the supervision of
the church, the quicker will the Budget
be balanced. Five more Bishops, added
to the number that will be active, jn
1940, and the Episcopal Districts ar-
ranged for that number, will do more to
save, and serve the church than any-
thing else we may think of.

It is quite possible that some of the |
“best people” did fot go out to hear
Jesus because there were so many of
the “riff-raff” there. ‘
One of the reasons why evil fights
so viciously is because it recognizes
mastery.
It is quite possible that some of those

“I'm just as good as silver!”
The Nickel proudly cried;
“The head of Madam Liberty
Is stamped upon my side;
I am as white and shining
As any dime can be—
He needn’t put on any airs,
I'm twice as thick as he.”
“I’m every bit as good as gold,”
The penny blustered loud;
“That tiny, thin gold dollar,
He needn’t feel so ptoud;
For all his airs and graces
I do not give a fig;
“I’m burnished just as bright as he,
And half again as big!”
But when the Cent and Nickel
Went out upon their way,
Alas! The world still held them cheap;
‘ Whatever they might say.

He said, “that par is par;
It doesn’t matter how you boast
Of what you really are!”

SNAPPY STORIES
HABIT
It is said that a certain minister
moved so regularly every year that
when he came home from conference
his chickens always laid down on their
backs and held up their feet to be
tied.

A little preacher with a shrill voice
was about to preach to a lodge of big.
brawny men. He piped out his text,

A SUGGESTION AS TO THE UBI
OR WHERE OF THE NEXT
GENERAL CONFERENCE
By Dr. C. P. Cole
If we are really sincere in our ad-
vocacy that the place of the next
General Conference shall be selected
solely on the basis of economy for the
church, then our sincerity should goa
step further. We have long talked
economy, The time now is for us to
act it out. If we are going to discuss
Church economy, let us begin at the
proper place.
The expense considerations as to the
where of the next General Conference
is not significant to us as are some
other expenses which are causing
stagnation,
If the General Conference is held in
Los Angeles, those who travel from the
East will not have to pay more to
reach it than those of the West paid
to come to New York,

which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped
The news went out fron this man about what had occurred to him
Then people in neighborhood began tp examine and experiinent

African Methodist and friend to help
us now because it is a needed time. Will
you help me? Please do so in His
name. The load is heavy but I would
not call upon you until I had accom-
plished something that would show you
that there is hope for this department.
On the 13th day of this month is our
Allen Day celebration. And in the
Book of Discipline, page 327, section 8,
the law reads that this day shall be set
apart to raise funds to pay on the Allen
Building. Some of our ministers have
already planned to do their best at that
time. If you will kindly carry out this
section of the Discipline for at least one
time, I will assure you that our building
will be paid out of debt. :
The Allen Building was built at the
cost of $212,000.00. Today we owe a-
bout $23,000.00. This can be paid off in
one year if the church will help us. I
will have been manager for one year, on
the 15th day of February, 1938 This,
of course. is our first anniversary, and
we are asking our friends to send in at
least one subscription as an anniver-
sary contribution.

REV. G. E. CURRY
Then I went immediately to investi-
gate whether or not we could repur-
chase the Allen Building, and thank
God my efforts were not in vain. I
found that the building could be re-
purchased, but to do this I had to se-
cure $4000.00 cash. I asked God for it
and He gave it to me, because it was
my full intention that the blood of the
members and friends of the A. M. E.
Church should not have been shed in
vain—to erect a building like this, and
then let it go. Then I had to move
back into the building and this cost me
$2,600.00, Here I want to thank Rev.
C. D. Dixon who assisted largely in
this effort, and Bishop R: A. Grant of
Florida, who sent me $1000.00 to help
us in the struggle.
Now we are in the building and do-
ing business at the same place for
which we are thankful to God. For it
was His hand that led us thus far. We
have received many encouraging letters
ing to do everything in his power to
help us put over this wonderful propo-
sition. He has answered every call.
Mrs. Sims, his wife, has helped us in
so many ways. The missionary work
under her supervision js rendering a
great service to us.
T am hopefully waiting to hear from
the hearty supporters of our cause.
And now, may the blessing of God and
the love of Jesus Christ, His Son, and
the Communion of the Holy Spirit be
with you and upon you. Amen.

A VISIT TO THE EIGHTH EPIS-
COPAL DISTRICT
Continued from Page 1
The call met a hearty response and
Bishop A. P. Shaw and Bishop G, B.
Shaw, assisted in presiding over the
meeting. Bad to my mind, this was
one of the!most remarkable meetings
that it has been my opportunity to at-
tend during my entire ministerial life.
As I see it, this meeting is a‘ fore-
runner of a new and better day among
the Colored Christian Churches in this
country. Richard Allen paved the way
for the Religious Freedom of the Ne-
gro, when he withdrew from old St.
George M. E. Church, and established
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church; and now Bishop Greene has
opened a door for the cooperation and
Christian unity of all the Colored Re-
ligious bodies in this country. -
This was the first time, to my know-
ledge. that a meeting of this kind has
ever been called in America; three
bishops, all of distinct denominational
differences, uniting together. as one
man, working, praying, preaching, sing-
ing, and religiously and enthusiastical-
ly cooperating for the upbuilding of
the Kingdom of God with prayers,
sermons, addresses, and songs, which
stirred the whole city of New Orleans
and marked a new day among the Ne-
groes in that area.
You might be able to get a better
idea of the scope of the meeting from
the program that was rendered and the
subjects of some of the Dapers which
were read:
-
First, “Affirmation of Unity and Re-
marks Concerning the World Message
to the Christian Churches, from the
Ecumenical Conference, on Faith and
Order,” by Bishop S. L, Greene.
Second, “The Message from the
Ecumenical Youths’ Commission,” by
Miss A. B. Taylor.
Third, “Some Conditions that Create
the Demand for Greater Unity than
Now Exists,” by Dr. J. W. Hair.
Fourth, “Some Progress Made During
the Last Ten Years Towards Church
Unity, Both Structural and Spiritual,”
by Dr. H. H, Dunn. ?
Fifth, “How to Cultivate and Promote’
a Better Spirit of Unity Among the
Churches,” by Dr. J. R. Powe.
Sixth, “What an Adequate, Educa-
tional Program Might Do towards
Securing Better Church Unity,” by Dr.
W. S. Nelson. president of Diflard Uni-
versity. %
Seventh, “What Theological Schools
Might Do in Bringing a Closer Ac-
cord in Doctrine and Practical Church
Administration,” by Dr, R. W, Coleman.
Eighth, “How That Cooperative
Work in Such Spheres as Benevolence,
Missions, and Social Activity Might
Further Church Unity,” by Dr. R. M.
Davis. pastor of the First M. E, Church.

only known in the Southland.
