Bishop S. L. Greene was appointed to
Preach the Quadrennial Sermon at the
next General Conference. , ‘

On the morning of the day the Coun-
cil adjourned, it received a telegram
from Mrs. Lucy M. Hughes, sent from
New York, notifying us of the fact that
she had just returned that morning
from her extended visit to South Africa:
while there traversing a distance of
more than 10,000 miles. The week fol-
lowing her arrival home, Bishop E. J.
Toward sailed for West Africa, to be
followed a week later by Mrs. C. S.
Smith, President of the Parent-Mite
Missionary Society; each of whom go
to visit the conferences, inspect the
work and prepare for its future develop-
ment and support. Add this to the
fact that in the midst of all these ac-
tivities abroad a commission from Cuba
was reporting that the “Gem of the|
Antilles” be added to the domain of the

You must speak in many languages
{f you'd have folk understand,

You are spreading the wondrous story
Telling of the SON OF M’AN.

You must speak in many tongues
So they can grasp them if they will,
Tell all that Jesus died for them
For He can cure their ills.

You must speak so men will know
The gospel you preach is true,
Asking all to taste and see
That He'll always take them thru.

You must speak in various voices
For all kinds are in the throng,
Sinners, saints, good and bad
Men both weak as well as strong.

Oh, speak! and men will hear you
They are waiting for you to tell

The message of true Salvation
To save their souls from hell!

Speak out in your acts as well
Someone is ever watching you,
What you do impresses them
Let your lives, for God, ring true.

DANIEL MINORT BAXTER

“Solemn strikes | the
chime
Notes of our departing time.”

A more loyal son of the church
never lived since the days of Rich-
ard Allen. He was a preacher of
rare ability and consuming zeal.
For years Dr. Baxter was a suc-
cessful pastor. The church recog-
nized his business ability and in
1920 elected him Business Mana-
ger of the Book Concern, which
position he filled with credit. His
crowning work was the erection
of the Allen Building at 19th and
Pemberton Streets, Philadelphia.
It was a marvelous performance.
Like other businesses the Book
Concern was hit by the depression
and suffered reverses. Dr. Baxter
loved the church so much so that
he put all of his property and life
savings and that of his wife into
the Book Concern in an effort to
save it, but to no avail. The
amount is over $12,000. He de-
sired to be a Bishop in the church
but God willed that he should die
as the builder of the Book Con-
cern,

God works mysteriously. On
this grey, blustery February eve-
ning we sit in the building erected
by our friend, now dead, and look
out the windows across Phila-
delphia’s skyline, and think how
He buries His workmen but His
work goes on. Could our fellow
General Officer speak from the
other side of the veil he would bid
us to be loyal, honest, faithful and
true until our wearied feet like
his shall strike the-golden shore.
He literally gave his life for the
church.

THE CHURCH NEEDS MEN.

At Waco, Texas Bishop Rey-
erdy C. Ransom said recently:
“Let nobody fear that the church
is ringing backing bells. It is not
acts or resolutions by the General
Conference that will save the
church, but in the type of men
who lead it." Never was a more
truthful statement uttered. One
does not have to be a Diogenes to
discover that the church is suffer-
ing today for lack of men with
vision, connectional outlook, and
spirit. We must not slip back to
where we were in 1928. What are

RELIGIOUS UNREST—
MENACE OR PROMISE?

A passion for inquiry is the key-
note of the restless age in which
we live. The church press helps
to meet the imperative need which
grows out of this condition, It
visualizes the meaning and the
value of a spiritual outlook,

Newspaper headlines
why there has never been a time
when this was more necessary
than today. Civilization, so close to
collapse, is groping toward the en_
lightenment which the leaders of
religious thought are constantly
contributing to the pages of the
church press, ;

Many of these articles are
quoted or reprinted by influential
magazines and newspapers. Their
value in moulding public opinion
is increasingly recognized by
leaders in national, professional
and business life.

Indeed it is more than a coinci-
dence that so many secular pub-
lications are giving more attention
to religious topics. Editors and
publishers as well as the public
look to the church press for an
authentic presentation of the
news and the views of the church.

The educational value of the
church press is alone a sufficient
reason for giving it your support.

i am a personal wit-| WAYMAN HONORS ITS: VAAN

VETE Hah

One of the most unique and diversi-
fied programs ever witnessed in the
striking history of the Wayman A.
E. Church of Chicago’s great Nee
North Side, was presented | Sunday,
January 29th, at 8:00 P. M.

The affair was featured entirely in
appreciation of the eight untiring de-
votees of this admired Church, who
have actively served ‘in its varied Di
partments for a period of between forty
and forty-five years.

This event was the result of ae vis-
ion of the eminent and renowned pastor,
Rev. J. Davis Coston, who in_ his
humanitarian regard for all his flock,
desired in some concrete way to prove
to these aged Co-laborers in Christ,
that their persistent, noble and definite
loyalty to Wayman Church has served
as an untold blessing, not only to him-
self but also-to.the entire congregation.
Hence a sincere and impressive service
was presented.

These eight precious souls have ex-
perienced many peculiar ordeals of test_
ing and suffering, which doubtless de-
veloped their lives into the spiritual
perfume which comes forth best after
much bruising. Therefore, their toils,
tears and un-ending faithfulness have
cleared the Gospel Highway in Way-
man Church, that those who now re-
ceive the glory, laudation and praise
for its present day accomplishments are
riding in the chariots built by the dear
hands of these aged and cherished ones

Of course, you are wondering who
these persons are, that Pastor Coston
felt duty bound to set aside everything
on a Sunday evening and honored. Here
are. their names: Sisters Mary Carey
and Emma Grandberry, Bro. Adam

DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY ‘

Sixty per cent of all money collected shall be sacredly devoted
the aid and support of our work in Cuba, and sent to Mrs. Berry, i
National Treasurer. Twenty percent is to be sent to the local Chur, h
and twenty per cent to the Annual Conference to ZS the work of Pen
and Church extension. y

Since this is a provisional organization, we urge local Chapters {o
devise ways and means to raise contingent money for the support of
the National organization in order that it may function and be in po.
sition to carry out objectives. ore

WARNING NOTE

“The Gem of the Antilles Society” is in no sense an attempt to
launch, or organize, a new connectional missionary society, but to avoid
misunderstanding and confusion, we strongly urge that those who are
members of the two connectionai missionary societies be not sought, but
on the other hand, be discouraged from joining any of the local Chapters
This is not a rival, or competing organization, but one called into being
to meet and grasp a great and unlooked-for opportunity presented by
the Open Door in Cuba. ;

This Provisional Constitution is set up under the authority of the
Bishops who are signatory thereto, and does not assume to exercise any
authority outside of the Episcopal Districts they represent. | It is purely
voluntary on our part. Other Bishops, all of whom are in sympat by
with our moyement to enter Cuba, may be added to the list as the same
is signified by them.
