lean work. With such efforts as are
led on by him, they will soon be able
to finish up the main auditorium, the
following of which has already begun,
and the Usher Board, led by Mis
Averie Dawkins, has paid $116.00 for
the putting in of the rest of the
windows in the main auditorium. As
is the usual custom of this pastor to
pay off his Presiding Elder on the night
of his quarterly meeting, so he did at
this quarterly meeting, and a nice sum
was turned over to the trustees aiter
doing such. The quarterly mecting
was continued on Sunday morning and
all feasted on the masterly sermon which
was delivered by the Presiding Elder.
It was a high day in Zion, both spiritual-
ly and financially. The church was
beautifully decorated with pots of palms
and baskets of flowers. The attend-
ance was an oyer-flowing audience.
On Sunday evening at 7:30 there was
a music feast given by, both of the
choirs; the Senior choir, led on by its
efficient chorister, Mrs. Carrie Chiles
Walker was at its best and the Junior
choir led on by Miss Jessie Heath, gave
sermons in songs. In connection with
the quarterly conference the churcli
had a small financial drive, which
amounted to the sum of $1,057.90. The
Presiding Elder rightly said that this
was the greatest quarterly meeting he
has held at St. John. Peace and pros
perity are reigning hence much can be
expected to come from this band of
African Methodists. 4

OF THE TIMES AND THE
EXPECTATION OF THE
WORLD?
By W. T. Pope
There seems to be a general awaken-
ing in the interest of the African
Methodist Church and a serious study
of its founder, Richard Allen. This is
fine for our race group. and is as it
should be. It shows that we not only
have a genuine appreciation of the
worth-while men God has raised up
among us, but a high sense of values for
the yision of the church almost from
the outset: It was but a little while
before the Christian Recorder was
born; following hard upon it Wilber-
force was founded—this was a forward
step and following in its wake other
schools came until we have them
scattered through the connection.
These schools are veritable light-
houses of our race group and church.
Their founding encouraged other
churches to do likewise. I am think-

It does not consist in finding one’s life,

THE GOLDEN RULE
When Jesus came to Birmingham they
simply passed Him by,
They never hurt a hair of Him, they
only let Him die;
For men had grown more tender and
they would not give Him pain,
They only just passed down the street,
and left Him in the rain,
Sti) Jesus cried, “Forgive them, for
they know not what they do,”
And atill it rained the Winter rain that
drenched Him — throngh and

The crowds went home and left the
gtreets without a soul to see,
No more sublime rule of human
conduct is to be found anywhere
than the simple teaching of Je-
sus: “As ye would that men
should do unto you do ye even so
unto them.” Behind this rule
however is the attitude and rela-

the rule becomes of none effect.

I believe in the merit system which

the Lord is, there is liberty.
Should T be chosen as one of the
delegates to the General Conference,
I would support every measure which
in my judgment would contribute to-
ward the betterment of the church.
Some of the objectives for which I
would strive are:
DR. F. DOUGLASS COLEMAN
1. The return of Bishop David H.
Sims, who has made for himself a place
in the esteem of the district unparallel-
ed, which none other can fill. And
the admiration, love, and appreciation
shown him by ourselves is exhibited in
like measure by others from the lowest
to the highest ranks.
2. T am personally in the race for
the bishopric but T shall support the
choice of the district, whoever that
may be. 4
Nashville and Tennessee African
Methodists led on by Bishop Edward J.
Howard, are keeping step with the
march of progress. In a recent State
Meeting, Dr. F. Douglass Coleman,
pastor of St. John A. M. E. Church,
Nashville, and Accountant for the Con-
ferences of Tennessee, was unanimous-
ly endorsed for Editor of the Southern
Christian Recorder. Dr. Coleman, we
believe, would make a splendid suc-
cessor to Dr. John H. Clayborn. He
has successfully pastored from a Mis-
sion of thirty-two members to Metro-
politan St. John; he is a Printer of
more than twenty-five years experience,
and has worked with such outstanding
publications as “The Louisville News,”
“The Louisville Leader,” and “The
Kentucky Reporter.” For several years,
he served as the only Negro represent-
ative on the Nashville Banner, a white
Daily, editing “Activities of Interest
to Colored People.” He acquired his
education in the Public Schools of Ken-
tucky and Kentucky State College, and
pursued further courses at Fisk Uni-
versity and the American Theological
3. I am for greater security to our
ministry. Much can be done to im-
prove the status of our ministry, in
support, in pension system, in greater
protection against unjust removals in
the interim of the Annual Conference.
4. T am far law observance, the ex-
ercise of strict economy in the handling
of our general departments and in all
connectional funds.
Some of our departments should be
combined, as the Southern and Wes-
tern Recorders. These two publica-
tions could well be combined and issued
as a “South-Western Recorder.” This
would be a considerable saving and
Seminary. He has travelled extensive-
ly at home and abroad. He was one
of the sixty-seven Negroes granted
scholarships at the close of the World
War to attend the A. E. F. Univer-
sity at Beaune, Cote Dror, France,
where more than Ten Thousand White
students were registered. He is well
qualified and js doing a phenomenal
work at St. John, the Mother of Afri-
can Methodism in Tennessee. Dry
Coleman. always loyal to African
Methodism, stood by and for the Gen-
eral Church with unswerving fidelity
during the hectic days following the
election of Prof. E. A. Selby as
Secretary-Treasurer of the Sunday
School Union during the Trial in Nash-
ville. Bishop E. J. Howard, whom he
serves as secretary, has no greater’
friend than Dr. Coleman. In August,
1936 when the Case of Selby vs Bryant
was called in the Chancery Court, and
when it.appeared that the Ministers of
Nashville were afraid to throw open
their Church Doors to the Bishops and

corder two representative weeklies.

How much more easily could he pre-

A NEEDED WARNING
Time and time again courts
have warned the public against
various burial association schemes
that have neither sound business
backing nor dependable exec
tive leadership. Yet every ye*!
thousands of people are defrauded
by racketeering promoters who
promise “low-cost, funerals”
. those who will pay a regular
monthly fee during their lives-
Subscribers to such schemes
eventually pay much more for
funeral services, and in return
secure inferior merchandise and
service. The countless loopholes
offered for unscrupulous business
adventurers is the greatest men-
ace, for there js no guarante®
that the so-called “burial assoc”
tion” will meet its obligation’

Matt. 5:43-48 OF
A single seritence makes clear the
topic before tis today: “Anyone can love
whe it’s easy, but a Christian loves
wher it’s Hard” (This seritence on a
card at the front of the meeting room
or neatly written on the hiackhoard
where it can be tead by all will be a
help.)
Making a List
The Juniors will all share in putting
ot the board a first list of those who
can be agreed on as easy to love, then
a second list of those for whotn love
does not come without a striggle.

the little
In the first list will probably go such
persons as these: mother, father, sis-
brother, cousins, atints, uncles,
other relatives, schoolmates, teachers,
Sunday schoolmate, Sunday school
teacher, neighbors, other Christians.
The second list may include: those
having another country, those having
another kind of religion, those who use
bad language, those who get’ drunk,
those who break the laws, those who
are sick, those who are crippled, those
who are extretnely poor, those who

difference “between one man and an-
other” makes all the difference in the
world. In fact, it is that that makes life
worth living and work worth doing
and gives to everything a new meaning.
“No Man is Replaceable”
If a man once gets the idea that he
has no particular place of his own,
that if he falls out of the ranks another
will step right in to take his place and A
everything will go right on as before,
then he will only work with half his
strength the half
truth of which he has gotten hold.
We ought to remember and to believe
at the same time that while from one
‘point of view it is true that no man
is replaceable.
There can be no question as to where
the inspiration lies. Let a man once
realize that he is unique, that there is
only one of him, and he begins to live.
Henceforth such a man has but one fine
task, just to be himself, doing his
own work and uttering his own words.
Some one has well said, “God breaks
the mould after each one of us is made.”
“We never happened before, we will
never happen again.”
The thought is rather bracing. Just
to know that there is only one of you.
NO IMPORTANCE
And who are our important people?
It must be those who are always in the
public eye. The people about whom
we talk at our dinner table. The peo-
ple about whom we read every day in
our newespapers. Some night club
hostess defies the laws of the land, ap-
pears in court and is courteously dis-
missed. She gets two columns on the
front page of the newspapers and her
picture. That makes her of import-
ance.
Babe Ruth would slame out a home
run and receive a salary as great as
the President of the United States.
That made him important in the eyes
of every American boy.
A miniser goes along the even tenor
of his ways for ten, twenty years and
never anybody to look around. He
suddenly disappears with his organist
and at once the whole world knows
about him.
We get the notion that because the

Loyal Union of New Bedford. This
Institution has purchased reliable stocks

depression means. Mrs. Brooks is the
widow of the late Bishop ‘W. Sampson
Brooks who also enjoyed a reputation
as a financier and a church builder. As
a companion Mrs. Brooks contributed
much to her husband’s success in his
latter years of service.

1 AM THE CHURCH PAPER
I am the Church paper, the voices of
Christian people speaking as one in
their tribulations and in their glorious
triumphs.
I am deeply rooted in the past, yet
my heart is expectant with hope com>
cerning the future, for I am ever ex-
panding and am empowered with the
gifts of the Spirit that usher in new
tomorrows.
I am a teacher bringing the holy les-
sons of life and eternity; I am an artist
creating the sacred arts; I am more
than a teacher and an artist, for I am
filled with personal contagion.
T am ever a watchman, crying from
tower, calling men to awaken, for the
dawn is breaking, watching eagerly
through the night-watch lest enetiies
storm our temples, and lay waste on
our streets our freedom and our jus-
tice.
I am a prophet, setting the people
aflame with social passion and calling
them unto the holy hill of God, that
they may reason with the Eternal One.
I am the silent messenger of the
Church, calling men and women into
all areas of human life and need; send-
ing their roots deep into the truths of
God; nurturing their growing souls and
minds.
I lift humanity out of today and
carry it forward into the triumphs and
victories of Christ for tomorrow.
I am the Church Paper.

ship of daily living to the formulated
doctrine of our faith is of great import-
ance. There is a type of mind that
would have every important belief
stated in satisfactory language and sub-
scribed to without any mental reserva-
tion as to the first step toward living a
Christian life. Glen Frank has put the
proper order of life and doctrine in the
graphic statement that, “We live our-
selves into right thinking more surely
than we think ourselves into tight liv-
ing.” The Scriptures representing a
fine body of inspired writing, are living
today because they were preceded by
and issued from a lot of fine heroic
inspired living, daring and doing.
Dr. Shaler, one of the great scholars
of a generation ago, was asked why
New England was not living as heroical-
ly and productively as in former days.
Life is deeper than opinions, deeper
than doctrines. Life must be fed.
Formulations may follow more liesurely.
If one would know God, if one would

thinks God would live. Let him assume
tasks that cannot possibly be done ex-

is accomplished, he will know God in a

The Pew Looks at The Pulpit
The Christian Church is passing
through difficult days. That its mission
to the present age is fraught with many
problems is universally admitted. There
is a real concern that the message of
the Church and its serice to the modern
world might be given impetus by a
genuine revival of spiritual life and a
progressive readjustment to new con-
ditions now prevailing. The desire,
audible and unexpressed, is moving in

crowns the mercy seat.”
The preacher is the chief human agen-
cy responsible for leading a congrega-
tion into the worship of God. Fussy

The Pastoral Ministry
Now, a few word on pastoral minis-
try. I would say that outside a minis-
r’s own deyotional and intellectual
life, the main key to a successful minis-
try, I believe is, coming close to the
| people.
To have a thorough knowledge of the
people with whom you have to deal, to
become acquainted with their problems,
to have them take you in their confi
dence, unburden their minds, it bears
on the preaching, on the administration
of the church, on everything. We have
to take people just where we find them
The gospel always does that. Jesus
did that. When he met the farmers
he talked with them about seeds and
grains and labour; when he met witl
lawyers he talked about the law. The
revelation of God itself must start wher¢
people are. The problems begin
be solved readily with sermons fitted
to the type of congregation. It is pos
sible to understand how people reach
out to something beyond them, some
thing they can climb ap to. We cannot
do that unless we come in close con-
tact with them,
problems day after day

mit that many of our own services,

been largely failures in this central
purpose. No task which preachers and
people are set to do is of so babi
importance as to make worship rea
and vital for every last man, woman
he is to teach, he must know and speak
with authority on the questions he is
dealing with, therefore the pew expects
