FOUNDERS DAY CHAL-
LENGE
On the second Sunday sn Feb-
ruary we observe the birthday
of Richard Allen, the founder of
the African M. E. Church, and
the apostle of freedom. It is the
one occasion when we should
more deeply appreciate deeds and
contribution of him who in the
period of slavery purchast his
freedom and that of his family
and lead the race along the path
of religious freedom. The church
which he formally organised in
1816 is his imperishable monu-
ment. It is now a far-flung
connection with work in Africa,
South America, Canada, Bermuda,
the West Indies aside from
thousands of preaching places,
churches, ministers and a million
members in the United States.
Over this sacramental host thir-
teen active Bishops preside.
Along with the worship and
literary program the various
churches are required by law to
raise and send funds to the
Manager of the Book Cancern.
Herein lies the ghallenge. Our
connection has become so decen-
tralised that it is menaced by
district interests. An ‘after of-
fering’ is usually taken for the
Book Concern or a pittance is
reported at the Annual Confer-
ence. Should we obey the law
in spirit and letter we would be
able to clear the Allen Building
of its entire indebtedness. The
strongest tie that binds us as a
connection is the Dollar Money.
Let us add to it redemption of
the Allen Building, and freeing
it of debt. The Book Concern
needs your support.
THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER.
Founders Day should be a time
for getting our people to read
our church literature. We should
get them to support our periodi-
cals, and especially our ‘mother
journal, The Christian Recorder.
Since it has been separated from
the Book Concern it must pay its
way. Let us reflect credit upon
the name of our illustrious and
sainted founder by perpetuating
what the fathers have handed
down to us, The Christian Re-
corder needs desperately your
prayers, sympathy and aid.

THE CANDID VALENTINE
I think of you this holiday
And, oh, it makes my heart so gay!
You are the one and only dame. . .
I beg your pardon, what’s the name?
** ©
With you alone
1 sense the glory—
Or anyhow.
That is my story.
**
If you love me
As I expect
You won't mind if
This comes “collect.”
7 e+
Just this card to make you feel
That I am not a rubber heel;
Read it and return it, dear .
For use by me again next year!
a =
If you love me as I love you,
A verse like this will never do;
The ardor that our love entails
Is too hot for the U. S. mails.
oe F
“T want you,” says
This Valentine
But that you know
Is not my line,
Sweet verses I
Have long outgrown;
When I want you
I telephone.
SOMEBODY’S VALENTINE
I'd like to send out valentines
But since they cost so dear
I think these few poetic lines
Will have to do this year—
Because of the Depression
I must control my passion
(Besides I use discretion
By acting in this fashion.)
For since my dimes at times were spent
On some who would not do
This valentine is only meant
For one who loves me true—
I do not mention THE one
(But hope a handsome he one)
And only he can be one
Who happens to send ME one.

Dear Miss Thomas,
23rd:
It is agreed that any convention is a
waste of time unless it shows definite
benefits, points to improved methods
which will be of specific values for the
individuals who attend. :
Our program will serve as a media for
assembling and disseminating informa-
tion for “Training for Church Leader-
ship,” theme of the convention. We
hope that the educational trends will;
include the correlating, integrating, and
appreciation of the work of our De-
partment of Religious Education; and,
if it produces nothing else, it will stimu-
late a conscious—awakening that the

THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER
THE PLACE OF EVANGELISM IN THE CHURCH
Our Religious Depression
1, The weakness of the Church.
Protestant Churches of America
churches the
Western World. Their public prestige
may not approximate that of the
English churches in quality, but they
hold the allegiance of the masses to a
larger degree.
Whatever the weakness of the Puri-
tan tradition which informs the moral
attitude of American Protestanism, it
has considerable achievements to its
credit. But in spite of these achieve-
ments the religious life of America is
not in good health.
The basic difficulty of the church is
that it is not facing the Central moral
problems of our era. The church has
a gospel of love which ought to have
given it the insight to recognize the
basic fallacy of the assumption upon
which our civilization organized it
life. From whence came wars and
fighting among us, came they not hence
even from your lusts that were in your
members? We lust and have not ye
kill and can not obtain, ye fight and
war and yet ye have not because ye
ask not.
We are living in a world in which the
essential power is economic power. The
men who hold this power either cyni-
cally or naively, beat back every effort
to restrict its force and bring it under
social control.
However modern society can not b
saved by this or that social reform anc
selfish individuals are not brought to
express themselves in Christlike terms
by the advocacy in the pulpit of this or
that radical measure, The church may
the most vital of
THE REVEREND J. W. HAIR i,
| well leave specific programs to other
agencies provided however that it deal
rigorously and honestly with the ethical
problems of human nature and human
society. It is at this point that the
church fails most greviously.
The Orthodox Church still corrects
people of sin, but the sins of which it
makes people conscious are usually not
those which are most. significant in
our society; and the liberal church
takes such a romantic view of human
nature that it does not convict its mem-
bers of sin at all.
A religious institution which does not
deal kind and yet brutal frankness with
human nature and which does not make
an astute analysis of the motives which
drive men to actions, may become very
dangerous, because it may easily lead
to hypocrisy. Now if a religious and
ethical institution is unable to deal
realistically and honestly with the hu-
man motives which express themselves
in this power and in the insistence upon
its maintenance all of its claims to
moral leadership must become hollow
pretension. 5!
What is needed to make this gospel
effective is combination of two qualities,
which are not always combined with
ease: spiritual vigor and social intelfi-
gence. The spiritual vigor is needed to
create in men the desire to check their
expensive desires and to bring their
clamant self-will under the will of God.
But the religious fervor which cre-
ates the will to live the Christ-like life
is not accompanied with sufficient social
intelligence to know what the Christlike
ethic is.
Therefore social education must ac-
company religious regeneration. If the
7c
church could attack the Problems of
our era with vigor and realism it might
make greater progress in the important
problem of church unity lacking organic
relationship to our society the churches
are forced to preserve ancient traditions
and maintain themselves by the Perpet-|
uation of loyalties which have signi-
ficance only for the post. .
But unity is not achieved as an end
in itself. It is always the product of
companionship in arms in a common
cause. If the church could see the
paganism of our civilization in suffi-
ciently sharp outline, and could sense
the fundamental conflict between its
gospeland the damenant woods of our
vilization it would inevitably close its
ranks for common actions.
What’s wrong with the church?
“Not a thing,” reply the optimist. “A
great deal” say the less cheerful ones.
But the diagnosis come in the church
weakness and in its strength.

Jesus preached the sermon on the
Mount to a mixed company, but the
a measurable understanding of what it
was all about, were men who had been
captured by Jesus himself. Their lives
had been changed, therefore they went

Roman Catholicism is today not only
a militant, but a proselating faith in all
lands and in all areas of social and in-
tellectual activity. Many answers are
given to the question. why? Certainly
a religion of authority has always a
«nique appeal to a multitude of men
and women.
“Thus saith the Lord” is the message
for which millions wait when a world
rocks, We hark back for that faith
once deliyered to the saints and the
fathers.
A revival meeting may be of value in
strengthening the morals of those who
must furn from empty cupboards to
crowded bread lines. Certainly it will
give comfort to the sorrowing and re-
lease saying grace for the sinner. But
that revival is a travesty in our day if
it remains silent on the sin of power:
absurd if it fails to say for every de-
linquent David who needs to hear the
word. “Thou art the man,”

FOR THE BISHOPRIC
REV. S. S. MORRIS
Rev. Samuel Solomon Morris was
born in Virginia, and brought up under
good parents, having been trained in
the principals of the A. M. E Church.
At the age of fourteen he was converted
and joined Emanuel A. M. E. Church,
Portsmouth, Virginia.
This noble son of Virginia soil is a
scholar, 2 lover of education, and a
deep thinker having been educated in,
some of the best schools, colleges andj
universities of this country. Dr. Mor-
ris is filled with Christian graces;
one who is brotherly, a great character,
and a safe leader. He believes in
sound conversion. His Slogan is a
converted heart, trained hand, and edu-
cated head. He is an inspiration to
any one who is looking for an honor-
able ideal.
As a churchman his equal is hard
to find. He has a noble, enviable, and
unique record as a pastor from a mis-
sion in Georgia to St. John A. M. E.
Church, Norfolk, Virginia. Dr. Morris
has worked faithfully and successfully
for eighteen years as Secretary-Treas_
urer of the Allen Christian Endeavor
League. He promoted, and directed
the Sesqui-centennial __Celebration,'
which was a great meeting. Dr. Mor-!
ris is the director of Religious Educa-
tion for the A. M. E. Church. The
General Conference will do a credit to;
the connection, and make a wise step j
forward if it elects this Dynamic, Pro-|
gressive, and Resourceful leader of
African Methodism to the Bishopric
of the A. M. E. Church in 1940.
Dr. Morris is ripe in experience, and
is acquainted with the church through-
out its length and breadth, He is
worthy of any honor the church might
bestow. Dr. Morris has a program
that is sane, and constructive. A pro-
gram modern in every respect, and one
that will definitely meet the challenge

FOUNDERS DAY CHAL-
LENGE
On the second Sunday sn Feb-
ruary we observe the birthday
of Richard Allen, the founder of
the African M. E. Church, and
the apostle of freedom. It is the
one occasion when we should
more deeply appreciate deeds and
contribution of him who in the
period of slavery purchast his
freedom and that of his family
and lead the race along the path
of religious freedom. The church
which he formally organised in
1816 is his imperishable monu-

ment. It is now a far-flung
connection with work in Africa,
South America, Canada, Bermuda,
the West Indies aside from
thousands of preaching places,
churches, ministers and a million
members in the United States.
Over this sacramental host thir-
teen active Bishops preside.
Along with the worship and
literary program the various
churches are required by law to
raise and send funds to the
Manager of the Book Concern.
Herein lies the challenge. Our
connection has become so decen-
traliséd that it is menaced by
district interests. An ‘after of-
fering’ is usually taken for the
Book Concern or a pittance is
reported at the Annual Confer-
ence. Should we obey the law
in spirit and letter we would be
able to clear the Allen Building
of its entire indebtedness. The
strongest tie that binds us as a
connection is the Dollar Money.
Let us add to it redemption of
the Allen Building, and freeing
it of debt. The Book Concern
needs your support.
Founders Day should be a time
for getting our people to read
our church hiterature. We should
get them to support our periodi-
cals, and especially our ‘mother
journal,’ The Christian Recorder.
Since it has been separated from
the Book Concern it must pay its
way. Let us reflect credit upon
the name of our illustrious and
sainted founder by perpetuating
what the fathers have handed
down to us. The Christian Re-
.corder needs desperately jen A
