THE CHRISTIAN MINISTER
Lesson Text: I Timothy 4:6-16; ul
Timothy 221-4
J Timothy 4.6 If thou put the brethret
in mind of these things, thou shalt b.
a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourish.
ed in the words of the faith, and of th
good doctrine. which thow hast followed
until now: 7 but refuse prefane unc
old wives’ fables. And. exercise. thy-
self unto godliness: 8 for bodily ex-
ercise is profitable for a little; bu
godfiness is profitable for all things
having promise of ithe life which now
js, and of that which is to come. 9
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all
acceptation. 10 For to this end we
labor and strive, Pecause we have out
hope set on the living God, who is the
Saviour of all men, specially ot them
that believe. 11 These things corm
mand and teach. 12 Let no man de.
spise thy youth; but be thou an example
to them that believe, in word, in manner
of life, in love, in faith, in purity. 13
Till I come, give heed to reading, t
exhortation, to teaching, 14 Noglec
not the gift that is in thee, whicn was
given thee by prophecy, with the lay-|
ing on of the hands of the presbytery.
15 Be diligent in these things; give’
thyself wholly to them; that thy pro-
gress may be manifest unto all. 16
Take heed to thyself, and to thy
teaching. Continue in these things;
for in doing this thou shalt save both
thyself and them that hear thee.
II Timothy 2.1 Thou therefore, my
child, be strengthened in the grace that
is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things
which thou hast heard from me among
many witnesses the same commit thou
to faithful men, who shall be able to
teach others also. 3 Suffer hard-
ship with me, as a good soldier of
Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier on service
entangleth himself in the affairs of
this life; that he may please him whe
enrolled him as a soldier.

Church appointed at our last General
Conference, acknowledged, received, and
accepted this translation by these emi-
nent Biblical scholars, why should they
continue to err, thereby causing the
entire Connection to err in the use of
our Discipline? The same error oc-
cures in our Hymnal. Every where the
prayer Our Lord taught His disciples
to pray is written in our Discipline and
Hymnal, it is made to read; Thy king-|
dom come. Thy will be done “on” earth
as it is in heaven.
In this exposition my object is to
prove by the Word of God that’ the
changing’ of this participle “in” makes
a world of difference in the interpreta-
tion of this Scripture.
Taking David McKay as our New
Testament Greek authority, we note
that the word “Master” is used in the
Authorized Version to translate six
different Greek words, all bearing
different shades of meaning. The word
“judgement” in the Authorized Version
stands for eight. different Greek words
in the original; and so of many other
words. Of participles, “but” represents
twelve different words “by” eleven;

“for” eighteen; “of” thirteen; “on”
nine, and “in” fifteen. Therefore, if
we can get a better understanding of
God’s~ Word by translating this par-
ticular “in” instead of “on” or “upon”
why should any of us object, or doubt
the truth?
“Thy kingdom come’—The Kingdom
of God is that moral and spiritual king-
dom which the God of grace is setting
up in faflen man, whose subjects con-
sist of as many as have been brought
into hearty subjection to His: glorious
scepter and of which His Son Jesus
is the glorious head. “And when he was
demanded of the Pharisees, when the
Kingdom of God should come, he
answered them and said, the Kingdom
of God cometh not with observation;
neither shall they say, lo here! or lo
there! for, behold, the Kingdom” of |;
God is within you.” Luke 17:20,21.
“For the Kingdom of God is not
meat and drink: but righteousness and
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Rom.
14:17. In the inward reality of it, this
Kingdom has existed ever since there
were men who walked with God. “And
Enoch walked with God: and he was
not, for God took him.” Gen. 5:24, it
existed since man waited for His sal-|--
vation. “The scepter shall not depart
from Judah nor a lawgiver from be-}.
tween his feet, until Shiloh come; and | *
_ unto him shall the gathering of the
people be.” Gen. 49:10.
And these waiting men were “con-
~ tinually with him, holden by His right
hand.” Ps, 73:23, and who even in the|-
valley of the shadow of death, feared
no evil when He was with them. When
Messiah Himself appeared, it was as a
visible Kingdom, “at hand” His death
laid the deep foundation of it. His as-
. cension on high, “leading captivity cap- |’
tive and receiving gifts for men, even
for the rebellious, that the Lord Géd
might dwell in them,” and the Pente- |’
costal effusion of the Spirit, by which
_ those gifts for men‘descended upon the.
rebellious, and the Lord God was be-

of Edmondson and his work, and
interested the Museum of Modern Art
in it
Asked about Edmondsons work
esterday, Alfred H, Barr Jr., director
of the museum, said:
“Recognition of the achievements
of naive or self-taught artists is one
of the discoveries of contemporary
taste. Usually the nai ve artist works
tombsto ne customers are rare ai :
little money to spend for Edmondson’
\ares. His works are small be,
he has never been able to buy
pieces ot stone. +
All Edmondson’s sculpture is sym.
bclic, and stems from the Bible,
only book with whien he is familiar,
[lis favorite subjects are Mary and
Martha, the Lamb of God, doves and
preachers. dnwndson is said to be
pleased by praise, but does not care
whether the publi c likes his work. He
regards his sculpture with good humor
and doing it pleases him greatly. He
is said to scrupulously avoid profanity,
Some of the subjects to be shown
here are “Mary and Martha,” “Lion,”
“Large Angel,” “Small Angel,” “Lady
With Bustle,” “Morning Doves,’ “Ram
Resting,” “Lady Holding Up Her Pet-
ticoat” and “Lady in Cloak.” The exhi-
dition will continue to Dec. 1.
CHEESE IT!
Perpetual Motion Mouse Trap
Invented
LOS ANGELES, (AP).—Inventors
have taken Thoreau’s advice about the
world beating a path, etc., and as a re-
sult the modern mouse is born with two
strikes on him.
The latest gadget designed is de-
scribed as a perpetual motior: trap by
Managing Director Roy C. Burns, of
the National Inventors’ Congress. De
described is thusly:
“The first mouse sees in front of him
a modernized mouse bole. It is spray-
delicately. with cheese perfume
which is elusive at the entrance and
increasingly strong toward tke end of
the lole. ‘The arse enters. the hall-
way and fools into a ttshted mirror.
He thinks bis cwn reflection fs ane:her
mouse, 4
“Losing all caution, he moyes into
a glass-in compartment.of a little room
full of mirrors—and a grating dreps
behind him. He discovers the clicese
is in another transparent chamber.
Another mouse outside looks in and
sees a dozen mice—a whole convention
—so he comes in, too. Another grate
drops, and so it goes.”

AND CALIFORNIA
By John Adams, P. E. Topeka District
.-California is a long and jagged and
bending border land. Oakland, the seat
of the seventy-third session of the Cali-
fornia Conference, is in the northern
part of the state. The mystery city of
the land of art and culture and industry
is San Francisco. {
San Fransisco the second of the larg-
est centers of the great state and is
separated from Oakland by a very
historic bay. Over the San Fransisco

bay stretch two o ngest and most
sightly bridges of i Id. The Afri-
can Methodist stronghold in California
js to the south and through the far
jamed San Joaquin (Wakeen) Valley.
Over the bridges and from this valley
come the largest group of churchmen
and weli wishers, Old Timers, say, that
ever welcomed bishop and conference.
Seventy-two years have passed and men
like Smith Edwards, A. M. Ward, and
A. R. Dobbins, say that the influence
of Bishop Noah W. Williams in handling
the work of the district is nothing
shorter than a miracle. Our church
historians date the beginning of Afri-
can Methodism past one hundred and
fifty years. The beginning was at
philadelphia. Just thirty years after
this Quaker State beginning our ag-
gressive church Fathers had- pushed
the movement to the Pacific Coast. For
definiteness of program and purpose
no section of the A. M. E. Church
shows a finer historic background than
the Pacific North West. The Pacific
Coast pioneers had no bishops at the
inception of their organization. There
was little or no ێommunication between
them and the Atlantic seaboard. They
simply came together and hoped that
fate would cause an A. M. E. bishop
to happen in upon them. Waiting for
this moment they kept their fellow-
ship together by means of regular con-
ventions. They operated these con-
ventions for thirty nine years. Their
leadership was in Elders and secretaries.
Rev, T. M. D, Ward, their first Pre-
siding Elder and the Rev. J. B. Sander-
son, Rev. Sempers and J. T. Jenifer,
their convention secretaries. In 1865
the Rt. Rev. J. Pitts Campbell one of
the bishops of the A. M. E. Church
came to the coast and organized them
into a conference. This was the begin-
ning of conference sessions on the
Pacific Coast.
I am writing this article from Los
Angeles. I am now in the library of
Dr. Jim Wilson, editor of the Western
Christian Recorder. He has here quite
a number of very valuable historic
documents and to verify the last state-
ment made proceeding this paragraph,
has handed me a document from which
I quote the following: “The California
Annual Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church organized
by J. P. Campbell, April 6, 1865, with
J. B, Saunders and John T. Jennifer,
secretaries. The organization was au-|
thorized by the General Conference of
1860 but it was not organized until the
foregoing date.” This act of the early
pioneers in holding a church member-
ship until it could become a legal unit
of our connection demonstrates a spirit
of loyalty and devotion to our common
cause. It has not been all sweet with
the men out here. Now under the con-|
structive program of the Rt, Rev. Noah
W. Williams, accomplishments reveal
the workers, back at the fires. ;
The Seventy-thitd session of the
California Conference met with Park
Chapel A. M. E. Church of which the
Rev. A. W. Johnson is pastor. Parks
Chapel is a commodious and beautiful
structure. The building is modern in
every way and an observer would be-|
lieve from the drive and life found
there that this charge is destined to

Prior to: coming to this charge the Rev.

a strategic point which required a
special type of administration and-soc-
ial service directing. There was a bit
of silent dissatisfaction at the time of
the genre but from accomplishments,
Dr. fohnson’s pastoral contribution far
exceeds any he. could have brought to
the cause out of the district. Dr. A.
W. Ward, succeeded Dr. Johnson on
the district and is therefore Presiding
Elder Host to the conference reported
in this article.
The Rev. X. C, Runyon, pastor of
Bethel Church San Fransisco delivered
the Annual Missionary Sermon, the
Rey. A. A. Moore, delivered the opening
message to the Conference, and the
Rey. Daniel H. Hill, pastor of the 1st
A. M. E, Church, Oakland, delivered
the Educational Address. These mes-
sages were marked for their learning,
spirituality and timeliness of expres-
sion.
Dr. Frank Madison Reid, pastor of
St. Paul A. M. E. Church at St. Louis
delivered the Episcopal message, Sun-
day morning. It was a great sight the
morning Dr. Reid arrived. Throngs of
people, gorgeous floral displays, and a
common breakfast in the well arranged
dining room of the church. Dr. Henry
Collins, pastor of the leading church
of the’ Connection at Los Angeles was
Conference to get there. He wired
greetings to the California Conference
the same morning the conference in-
dorsed Dr. Frank Reid for the bishop-
ric. This was an outstanding event.
It was only eclipsed by a simular oc-
curence at the Southern California Con-
ference. I rode with Frank from Oak-
land to Los Angeles. We came across
the fig lands of Fresno and up the high-
est altitude of the Sierra Madre moun-
tains. It was here he delivered to me
his soul. When our train got into the
winding dark of the tunnel ‘to the
descent, Dr. Reid said to me: “Adams
that was.a fine assurance the men gave
me at Oakland, but as I near Los An-
geles where Henry Collins reigns over
the biggest of our big, I feel most sure
that he and I will be considered to-
gether.” I dont believe Reid was wrong.
