HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This. remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He noticed a peculiar grayish color of clay.
He discovered that by its coming in contact with air and water its
color became reddish. As this man worked several days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor sk’n irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped.
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him.
Then people in the neighborhood began tp examine and experiment
with this grayish clay and soon found that ft contained medicinal quali
ties.

What is religion doing about unem-

the other ills we bear? ,
Not much. The color line in the
white church is as strictly drawn as in
the white social club or the white fac-
tory. If you want to find a real demo-
cracy, don’t go to the white church, go
to the night clubs, the race tracks, the

Is it any wonder the white church
has fallen into ill repute and that its
godlessness. should affect the colored
church as well?
If God is unable to get into the ma-

bother to try?

HARRISBURG DISTRICT
: _ CONFERENCE
——
The 51st Annual Session of the Har_.
risburg District Conference of the
Philadelphis Annual Conference con-
yened with Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church,
Columbia, Pa., Tuesday and Wednes-
day, October 12th and 13th; the Rey.
S. W. Wilmere, pastor; Dr. R. O.
Napper, Presiding Elder. The annual.
sermon was preached by Rev, C. H.
Wilscn of Waynesboro; text: “And
He Preached Christ to Them.” The
preacher lent himself freely to the
Spirit; the sermon was ably delivered
and well received,
_ The following officers were elected:
Secretary, Rey. C. H. Wilson; pianist,
Miss Lulu Thomas; Chorister, Miss B.
Payne; marshals: Miss Madline Por-
ter, Mrs, Alice Brown, Mrs. Cather-
ine Brown, ‘The Presiding Elder in his
opening address made a strong and
Farnest appeal to the pastors, urging
strenuous endeavor to build up their
churches along all lines. Said he, “We
‘have a Bishop with a program, and only
pastors with a program are going to be
rable to keep pace with the broad and
Progressive program of our Bishop.”
All charges reported their full as-
sessments, Under the leadership of
Dr. Napper there is an upward trend
throughout the district.
At 3:30 pm. Mrs. D. H. Sims
stirred the hearts of the missionary
sisters and pastors in an able address
on the “Spirit of Missions.” During her
address the large audience witnessed
the beautiful unfolding of a gigantic
missionary program for the entire
First District. In the wake of this
)stimulating, illuminating, and epoch
making address the missionazy spirit
is sure to come forth with a new em-
phasis in the Harrisburg District,
All reports, as per Discipline, were
carefully prepared and read to the cu-
lightenment of all.
The evening session easily surpassed
any that it has been our privilege to
witness at a Listrict Conference.
Charming and delightful music was
furnished by the following choirs: Lan-
caster, Columbia, Carlisle, Shippens-
burg, and a duct from Chambersburg.
Words of welcome were brought by
Mr, Geo. Parker on behalf of the
your people; Mr, Chas. Ross on be-
half of the church; Rev. Heaster on
behalf of the Colhimbia Ministerial
response by Rey. P. C. Williams.
Bishop D. H. Sims graced the Con-
ference with his presence and spoke
with his characteristic charm, force,
and gripping style to a capacity au-
dience from the subject: “Our Heri-
tage.” He opened with this signifi-
cant statement: “Some -of the same
faces that moved the farmers of the
Constitution of the U. S. A. 150 years
ago were, at the same time, at work
with the founders of our Church.” He
described the Church of Christ as be-
ing the greatest in ideals, the greatest
in program, the greatest in prospect
Then in a most picturesque manner he
gave a new appreciation for our Metho_
dism. Said he, “The most dominant
religion of the world has been one of
race, creed, and class. The A. M. FE.
Church has set the ideal for the world.”
‘Then with great emphasis he set forth
the vastness of our program, and laid [f
.| down the challenge: “\What are you
going to do about it.” Bishop Sims is
truly a master in the pulpit and on the
platform. There is a general fecling
in the ‘First’ that “a new day has
\dawned.”
Wednesday morning session was
Dlessed with a stirring missionary ser-
mon by Rey. E. D. Brown. Reports
were continued, and two papers were
read; one by Rey. P. C. Williams, on
“Ministerial Ethics.” another by Prof.
Chester Owens on “The Young People
and the Church Program.” Both
papers evoked much discussion.
Visitors were: Editor and Mrs. J. G,
Robinson, Loth of whom delighted the
conference with their presence and ad-
dresses; Presiding Slders I. N. Patter-
son and W, L. Johnson rendered val-
uable assistance in presiding; Rey. E.
S. Dennis of Spring Valley.. Total a-
mount collected, $279.00. The loyal and
hard-working pastor and people of
Columbia gave first class entertain-
ment, Presiding Elder Napper was
happy, and all js well in the Harrisburg
District.

Master say go preach my gospel; bid
the whole earth, my grace receive,
their names Bro. C. E. Rhods, Sister

Our Spiritual Life
We have ever tried to preach Christ
in all of his offices, the power of
righteousness and the blessings of love.
Our spiritual life is thus on the advance.
* Our Hope
We trust in God who gave us Clrrist
as our Saviour we go on, we are hope-
ful, that courage with which we came
‘ever shall maintain. with love for this
great Church, with love for these mem- —
bers, with love for our authorized sup-
erior in person of the Rt. Rey Edward
James Howard, yea; with be‘ief and
faith in God through Jesus Christ our
Saviour we go forth.
“Lead kindly light. A’mid encircling
gloam, lead thou me on, the night is
dark and I am far from home, lead tou —
me on.”
Our Finance
When we took charge of the Cliurch
22 months ago we found indebtedness
of $6,649.00, from Noy. 17, 1935 to Nov.
10, 1936 we raised $4,792.00 for all pur-
poses, paid on the debt from Noy.,
1935 to Nov., 1936, $2.100.00. paid from
Nov., 1936 to Oct. 4, 1937 $2,500.00, leav-
ing a balance of $2,049.00 with our Con-
ference claims yet to be added and un-
der God, we will make a round report.
Our Dead
We have had 58 deaths in our mem-
bership in these few months that we
have been here, but the Lord has given
us 182 whereof we are greatful.
Around the sepulchre, where our
dust shall sleep weeping Church shall
gather and sing, while angles echo back
the song. Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord from henceforth; yea
sayeth the spirit that they may rest
from their labors and their works do
follow them. Sleep on dear ones, we
will meet you in the morning.
