50,000 New Subscriber Will Mark The 91st Anniversary Celebration
For 91 years the Christian Recorder has operated as the officia!
organ of the A. M. E. Church. During these years of service we can
point with pride to the record and achievements of this outstanding
periodical.
Praise should be given to our Far-Sighted Pioneers and the loy:!
staridard-bearers thru the years for their faithful service.
The Christian Recorder has consistently stood for the highest and
purest journalistic ideals and thru its columns we have carried the
message of Christ and His teaching to the Host of African Methodists
in America and foreign lands.
Now it is with just pride that we call your attention to the 91s
ANNIVERSARY of the Christian Recorder. No paper can boast of
such heritage. Today is a Red Letter Day in our history and we
should be justly proud of this great record.
As the director of the Christian Recorder Subscription Drive, | a™
urging you to give us your subscription.
The Editor and Manager, Rev. George A. Singleton, has laid plans
for broadening the scope and also the general improvement of the
paper. To accomplish his aim, we must get in the spirit of cooperatio"
and to this end I am asking those who are interested in the coming pr
gram to write and let us know your intentions. Today we are enlisting
Volunteers who are willing to enter the drive and help us reach the
fifty-thousand new subscription goal.
As an Rérican Methodist we should subscribe to the Christian Re-
corder, and by so doing we will be assured of the future development °!
our official organ which is consistently and intelligently carrying th<
truth and the light even to the darkest continent, Africa, and the isle*
of the sea and the spirit of good-will and Christian brotherhood through-
out our entire church.

BISHOP GREGG WELCOME
BISHOP JOHN A. GREGG
The selection of the Rt. Rev. Bish-
fop Gregg to the supervision of Arkan-
as succeeding the Rt. Rev. Tookes, we
believe was a godly appointment. In
him Arkansas has a man of Truth,
onesty and Vision. A man whose
perience, ability and straightfor-
ardness will in a short time com-
| Mend him to all who believe in, and

The Bishop enters his new field with-
Put obligations to any one; with no
worn allegiance to any clan or click.
He goes to Arkansas not with “a new
deal” but a “Square deal.” This
writer has known Bishop Gregg for
More than 25 years; and in all this
ime from “higher ups” or “lower
fowns” there has come no accusations
bf tyrany or public abuse, nor has any
to our knowledge, found it necessary to
in from his presence or escape from
his district.
Arkansas should feel honored to have
man of his temperment, ability and
ision to lead them; and under his flag
should march with pride, confidence
ind assurance. I write freely of Bishop
Gregg because I can do so without the
ossibility of being charged with sel-
fish aims; at the present there is noth-
ng I wish him to do for me personally;

A PASTOR'S REVIEW
REV. W. H. PECK
It is commonly said that there are five
thousand
pastors in the A. M. E,
Church. Is this a fact? Is it only a
guess? Who knows? Is there any|
source material that will give us an|
accurate answer to these questions?
In addition to this may we what
the standard of their living con-|
ions? What number High School|
| graduates? What number Seminary
| Schools in their educational training?
Our Annual Conferences could easily
| determine this and we certainly ought
to know. We are thinking that some-
thing ought to be done by these pastors
for themselves. They could provide
a cooperative that would show char-
acter upon their part and would also
be a credit to the laymen who over
the years haye giyen them a living.
We propose in this connection an
A. M. E. Ministerial Cooperative and
Retirement Fund to include all Bishops,
General Officers (if they be ministers)
Presiding Elders and Pastors. In or-

Weekly Poem
BE A BOOSTER
Boost your church, boost your friend
Boost the club that you attend,
Boost the people round about you
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you are behind
them.
Boost for every forward movement
Boost for every new improvement,
Cease to be a chronic knocker
And don’t be a progress blocker,
If you want to make your church
better
Boost it to the final letter.

REMEMBERED TEXT
A shut-in mother instructed her little
daughter to remember the text the min-
ister used and tell her when she came
home. One morning the pastor spoke
on “Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin.”
(Dan. 5:25) When the mother asked
her daughter for the text she said: “He
preached on the text, ‘Meany, Meany,
tickle the parson’.”

from what he heard at the Bish-
ops’ and Connectional Councils as men
talked to one another, there is great
fanger lying immediately ahead of us—
the danger of over
That when we consider that in the
Methodist Episcopal Church there are
350,000 members of color (about one
half many there are African
Methodists), and that about 250,000 of
these are being amply supervised by
two bishops; it is apparent, therefore,
that for our delegates to go to Detroit
in 1940, and elect six bishops more than
we have today would not show, we be-
lieve, that the bishops in the A. M. E.
Church are capable of doing the same
amount of work as those of the same
race in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
In the light of this comparison of fig-
ures, what would be the logical con-
clusion to reach with respect to the
comparative ability of the 2 sets of bish-
ops, if it actually turned out that it re-

NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS: 1939
Hundreds of new subscriptions
to THE CHRISTIAN RECOR-
DER have been received to date.
This is a tribute to the remark-
able interest and diligence of
pastors. Many of the lists re-
ceived indicate unusual devotion
and success. The publisher and
editor recognizes with full grati-
tude this type of co-operation
and fidelity.
Lists of renewals and new sub-
scriptions are being received daily.
The utmost possible promptness
should be given to all lists as
subscriptions not renewed will be
cancelled.
The Dollar Club Plan which
has made possible the increased
circulation in the past year can
be continued only the sub-
scription lists are sustained and
as
increased.
Gifts of $1 to send The Recor-
der to some friend or renew a
subscription about lapse
through financial hardship are
among the best forms of steward-
ship which present subscribers
can bestow.
The Christian Recorder in more
homes in 1939 will aid the local
church program and to the con-
to
gregation an increasing vision
of the mission of our methodism.

| A RED LETTER DAY
For 91 years the Christian Recorder has operated as the officis!
organ of the A. M. E, Church. During these years of service we ca"
point with pride to the record and achievements of this outstandiny
periodical. (
Praise should be given to our Far-Sighted Pioneers and the loy!
standard-bearers thru the years for their faithful service.
The Christian Recorder has consistently stood for the highest and
purest journalistic ideals and thru its columns we have carried the
message of Christ and His teaching to the Host of African Methodis's
in America and foreign lands.
Now it is with just pride that we call your attention to the 9!°!
ANNIVERSARY of the Christian Recorder. No paper can boast of
such heritage. Today is a Red Letter Day in our history and w¢
should be justly proud of this great record. ?
_ As the director of the Christian Recorder Subscription Drive, | 2
urging you to give us your subscription. "
The Editor and Manager, Rev. George A. Singleton, has laid plan’
for broadening the scope and also the general improvement of fhe
paper. To accomplish his aim, we must get in the spirit of cooperation
and to this end I am asking those who are interested in the coming pro
gram to write and let us know your intentions. Today we are enlisting
Volunteers who are willing to enter the drive and help us reach the
fifty-thousand new subscription goal. é
As an African Methodist we should subscribe to the Christian Re
corder, and by so doing we will be assured of the future development °!
our official organ which is consistently and intelligently carrying the
truth and the light even to the darkest continent, Africa, and the isles
of the sea and the spirit of good-will and Christian brotherhood through-
out our entire church, _ 3 :
