day, February 7th, celebrating the
1S0th anniversary of African Metho-
dism, and the 177th. anniversary of
the birth of Rt. Rev. Richard Allen,
Ft was a special pleasure and privil-
ege to have present on this occasion
at the opening, our esteemed Bishop,
Noah W. Williams. It was his first
visit since being assigned to this the
Fifth Episcopal District, and he was
accorded a most hearty welcome as a
distinguished “Christian leader who’ has
merited the highest office the church

at Eleven o'clocK, Bishop Williams
preached to a large congregation,

of Bishop Williams was an awakening
of new life, enthusiasm and a greater
interest for the future church. The
celebration Was continued through the
week by the presentaion of a program
on Monday evening by the two chap-

Klay evening, Rev. E.,E. Tunstall, of
St. Mark M. E. Church, his choir and
members conducted the program;
Wednesday evening, Rev. C. C. Petti-

preached an inspiring sermon to a

cessful close.

T shall. never forget the Passion

was dragged through the Streets into
the presence of a young man named
Pilate. Unlike the Jews in the scene.
Pilate had no beard, He looked ae
young and very alert. There is no
doubt that Pilate thought the hecklers
of Jesus were poor fools making much

CONTRIBUTORS, TAKE NOTICE!
FIRST—Let all Contributors write op
one side of the paper only.

SECONDLY—Do not abbreviate, but spell
‘out all words. It is easier for you to spell
the words than it is for me to pay extra
to have some one go over the manuscript
to spell them out.

THIRDLY—Make your manuscript short.
We have for general church news only
about a page and a hali. Follow this
rule: For Quarterly Conferences, write
only one page and a half; For District
Conferences, write from two to three

ages, but no more; and for Annual Con-
ferences, write not more than five pages
of regular note paper; for an individual
Shurch, one paragraph ought to suffice.

Let every correspondent, when he
writes, remember that there are possibly
a hundred others who want their articles
to appear the same week. We can handle
the correspondence of at least two hun-
dred people a week, but all of them must
be short and to the point. Send all con-

JOLLY 'MARCH

Of all the months, of all the year,
I like old March the best;

He's such a jolly gentleman—
He takes no time to rest.

He puffs and blows, and takes my kite

And carries it up high,
Until it seems a tiny bird,
Far in the deep blue sky.
"Tis true he sometimes takes my hat
And tosses it away;
But I don't care a fig for that—
'Tis only done in play.

that the schools would be merged to

for the existence of three theological

that of the sixties and worse, for it
enslaves both body and soul, and we
are slaves at heart. When [ remem-
ber the spirit of the Allens, the ‘Turn-
ers, the Arnetts, the Lowes, 'the Leaks,

“Return O Holy dove return

I hate the sin that made thee morn

And drove Thee from my breast”

How Long O Lord How Long.

The most pitiful thing in the cata-

logue of our endeavor is our conduct

toward our little mission preachers.
Yo go to the annual conferences and

to the conferences, having laid the
foundations for structures of big sta-
tions and circuits, receiving during the
year for salary less money than the
