_FRUITFULNESS
Lesson Text: John 15:1-16.
15:1 I am the true vine, and my
Father is the husbandman. 2. Every
branch in me that beareth not fruit, he
taketh it away; and every branch that
beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may
bear more fruit. 3 Already ye are
clean because of the word which I
have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in
“me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in
the vine; so neither can ye, except ye
abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are
the branches: He that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same beareth much
fruit; for apart from me ye can do
nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me,
he is cast forth as a branch, and is
withered; and they gather them, and
cast them into the fire, and they are
burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my
words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye
will, and it shall be done unto you. 8
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye
bear much fruit; and so shall ye be
my disciples. 9 Even as the Father
hath loved me, I also have loved you;
abide ye in my love. 10 If ye keep
my commandments, ye shall abide in
my love; even as I have kept my Fath-
er’s commandments, and abide in his
love. 11 These things have I spok-
en unto you, that my joy may be in
you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 This is my commandment, that ye
love one another, even as I have loved
you. 13 Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends,
if ye do the things which I command
you. 15 No longer do I call you ser-
vants; for the servant knoweth not
what his lord doeth; but I have called
you friends; for all things that I heard
from my Father I have made known
_ unto you. 16 Ye did not choose me,
but I chose you, and appointed you, that
ye should go and bear fruit, and that
your fruit should abide: that whatso-
ever ye shall ask of the Father in my
name, he may give it you.
GOLDEN TEXT: Herein is my
Father glorified, that ye bear much
fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John

their meditations and think on their
faith with its search for social regenera-
tion and the kingdom of God they could
truly turn the world upside down. We you have stored your house with valu-

The Fourth Quarterly Conference was
held here on Sunday October 31 to
November 1. Both morning and evyen-
ing on Sunday, the presiding elder de-
livered very instructive sermons. Many
hearts were reached and much good
should be derived from listening to ser-
- mons coming from such preachers as
Dr. Turner.
The business side of the meeting was
held Monday evening, with the presid-
ing elder in charge. All auxiliaries were
represented with written reports, as was
requested by the pastor, Dr. G. Way-
man Blakley.
Many good things were said in re-
ports concerning the efficient leader-
ship of the Presiding Elder and Pastor.
A desire was also expressed for their
return to this part of God’s vineyard to
do greater and better work another
year.
The amount of money raised at this
Quarter was $99.00.

SPEED WORK ON $50,000,000 HIGH.
WAY IN SOUTH AFRICA
PRETORIA, South Africa. — Con-
struction work is advancing on South
Africa’s $50,000,000 highway program
to provide four provinces with a co-
ordinated system of modern roads. A
substantial part of the work will be
completed this year, but the entire net-
work will not be finished for five years.
The government at Pretoria has pro-
claimed 35 stretches of road as part of
the system. Owing to the necessity
of advancing by stages the highways
will not be continuous until later in
the work. Construction is proceding
at present only on those stretches where
all legal difficulties have been removed,

worship.

stands.
6. Educate yourself for your job. Be
the best father or mother possible.
7. Let your family know you love
them.
Don't be afraid to sacrifice; there
is joy in so doing.

JUST “PLEASE”
On the lawn of a large stone building
in one of our cities is a gold and black
sign with simply the word “please” on
it. It does not say, “Please keep off the
grass,” but that is what it means. This
gracious and courteous appeal to re-
spect private property is surely more
compelling than the usual sign. Does
not the same word both soften and
strengthen any request or command?

boys to manhood; except he was re-
jigiously inclined throughout his boy-
hood days. As the years passed the
spirit of religious feeling terminated
jnto a call to the ministry. This call
seemed to have had a tremendous effect
upon the souls of men, women, boys
and girls. For 56 years in active min-
isterial life he’ preached the word. of
Jesus, “Lo I am with you always even
to the end of the world.” For the 49
of the 56 years, were spent as presiding
elder of the Newberry, Columbia and
Greenville Districts respectively. At
no time did he fail to emphasize the
importance of being saved by faith, in
the words of the gospel. He was re-
garded as a full believer of the doctrine
of Sanctification as taught in the Scrip-
ture. He believed the words of Jesus
to the Disciples: “Go heal the sick.
raise the dead, cast out devils in my
name” meant just what the words of
Jesus said. His devotion to his wife
was always cordial. He was interested
was enviable, and their relationship
in the social religious and educational
development of his children. This is
evidenced in or by the fact that each
child has been given a diploma of grad-
uation from some reputable College, of
this State, Georgia and Ohio. To his
friends he was a friend indeed, and one
upon who m one might depend. The
last songs he sang, before the end came
were: “If*you loose Ged you are
done,” and “Hold to God’s unchanging
hands.” And closed with these words:
“Holy, Holy, Holy ” His spirit passed
into the great beyond at 5:50 P. M.
o'clock, October 24, 1937. He was twice
married. His first wife preceded him
to the grave 19 years ago. He leaves
to mourn his passing, a widow, 3 sons,
4 daughters, 2 sisters, 23 grandchildren,
1 step grandson and a host of relatives
and friends. Thus he lived, thus he
died. ;

MISSISSIPP’S TRENCHMAN
By W. M. E. Barnes
I take this opportunity to thank
Bishop S. L, Greene and the Bishops
for nominating me as one of the repre-
sentatives to the World’s Greatest Con-
ference, which met in Edinburgh, Scot-|
land, August 3rd. I made my arrival
in New York June 30th, went to the
home of that energetic systematic
general officer in person of Dr. L, L.
Berry and family, where I was royally
intertained. To say the least for him,
is to say that he has the Missionary

gain much knowledge from them. In
/the mean time Bishop Greene was
called upon to bring a message, which
he did with credit to himself, as well
as reflecting much credit upon the A,
'M. E. Church and the Race,
‘crate our lives to God and make this
a better world in which.to live. I
hope that each who reads these pages
will realize what it means to be a
Christian leader. It means One for
All, and All for One, in this Christian |
Family. I repeat that the Church has _
the greatest opportunity under condi-
tions, that it has ever had for leading _
world to, Christ. The Church has a_
Nature, and unless you know and have
the nature of the Church, you can-
not lead the Church. The Nature of
the Church is the Spiritual Life which
Christ gave, his Life, Death, and Resur-
rection, which was His Blood. It was
more than organization, more than a
During the organization Bishop Greene
addressed himself with honr, when,
through his nomination, Bishop Heard
was placed on one of the committees.
Bishop Heard has passed, yet, he lives
in the hearts of the Church and his
Countrymen. After the organization
and appointing committee for the va-
rious sections of the conference, we
_| got down to business and as the world’s
greatest theologians discussed many
|important subjects one could see a
higher world of spiritual good. While
they were discussing the various sub-
jects, Bishop Greene again got the at-
tention of the chairman and made a
vital move, correcting an error in a
tment in splendid condition. It
shows that he has a fine appetite as a
Churchman. He accompanied me and

REV. W. M. E. BARNES
In his address was proven that the
A. M. E. Church stood for: God Our
Father, Christ Our Redeemer, Man
Our Brother. He called their attention
to Acts 17:26, God hath made of one
blood all nations of men for to dwell
on the face of the earth. He spoke
of an articlé in a newspaper with refer-
ence to our race being minimized by
other superior races which brought
much inquiry. He was approached
several times on this question.
When we landed at South Hampton,
we took a taxi for Oxford England,
where we attended a part of the
World’s Conference on Life and Work.
Bishop R. C. Ransom was a delegate
to this meeting. I need not tell you
how well he represented the A. M. E.
Church. We all know that it goes
without saying that Bishop Ransom
has but few equals and no superiors
when it comes to Church and State
representatives, We spent a week in
this great educational center and were
carried by a guide through the city
and into the many universities. We
were able to get much information.
Oxford University is the birth place of
Methodism. As Bishop and Mrs. Greene
and I walked into that room, where
John Wesley gave birth to the Metho-
dist Church, we bowed upon our knees
for a moment and gave God our hearts
for the gift of His Son through human
-agency.
After a week here, we went by taxi
to London, England, the largest city
in the world. We were again carried
by a guide through this city to view
some of London’s important places of
interest. While here we visited the
British Museum where we saw many
traditional and historical events which
gave us first hand information and a
great knowledge of the past. We spent
several hours in the palace of the Em-
peror of Ethiopia. It was a pleasure
to meet this great man.
_ Returning to London, we made ready
for our trip to Edinburgh, Scotland,

report which brought him much ap-
plause. He was then given special no-
tice during the session of the confer-
jence. This was one of the greatest
opportunities that the A. M. E. Church
‘| has had to prove it’s worth to the Race
and to the World. Having three of

Aa feel proud of these Fathers who have
made it possible for the Race to prove
it’s ability to do things that will equal
any other Race on earth. With all the
criticisms and afflictions that the A.
M. E. Church has had, we can truth-
fully say that she is the only worth-
while thing that the Negro Race has
to it’s credit today. Let us be mindful
and: thank God for these Leaders.
They may not be all that we desire
but remember we made them. We made
every Bishop, every General Officer,
every Presiding Elder, every Pastor and
every member and the members sent
us out that God through us might sanc-
tify you through His life. I am proud
of the A. M. E. Church as a Race
Church. Let us love one another more
and magnify the good and the bad will
take care of itself. We have three
vital problems before the world today,
viz; The Church, The State and The
Youth, and what is the solution to
