POINTERS
By Roy L. Smith
So many Christians seem to be con-
tent with such small gifts from God.
The reach of a man’s faith may be
measured by the size of the gifts he
asks from God.
We are only robbing ourselves if we
allow the jan- |.
atics to distract us from the quest of
extravagances of the
the Holy Spirit which, in the estima-
a’
tion of Jesus, is God's greatest gift.
The man who is driven by conscience
is a difficult man to turn aside.
Every great reform the world has
ever had, has come about through the
efforts of some man who believed he
was commissioned of God
The interest Jesus displayed in hu-
manity, in the prayer in this lesson,
is still the
uppermost interest of his
heart.
No man ever pays another a higher
complimenti than when he offery a
sincere prayer in his behalf

CONTRIBUTORS, TAKE NOTICE!
FIRST—Let all Contributors write on
one side of the paper only.
SECONDLY—Do not abbreviate, but spell
out all words. It is easier fur 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 half. Follow this
rule: For Quarterly Conferences, write
only one page and a half; For District
Conferences, write from two to three
pages, but no more; and for Annual Con-
ferences, write not more than five pages
of regular note paper; for an individual
church, 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 coa-
tributions for the Christian Recorder to

WATCHMAN WHAT OF THE
NIGHT?
By Dr. G. W. Williams, Chicago, lll
In many respects the closing of the
last General Conference marked anew
era, a new period in the life and his-
tory of the A. ME. Church In style
and dress, in subject-matter, and in
point of editorial, the Christian Re-
corder is a living witness to the truth
in that fact.
Dr. Geo. A. Singleton
doubt, lifting the standard of the re-
ligious press to an eminence glorious
to behold. A good indication of the
rising tide in the church.
A revolution is now over due in the
church of Allen. Freedom of speech
is a thing of the past, while the merit
system i sfast giving way for a tppe
of oligarchy never before seen in Af-
rican Methodism. For instance, as a
denomination we have functioned for
more than one hundred years,

through three of our clearing houses;
yet during all of that time we have)

never had one real, honest to goodness
authentification of the accounts of the)
three departments that have handled,
that tremendious stim of money. Good
business proceedure?
If Brother J. J. Burnett, of Texas,
would enlarge his vision, deepen his
conception of equity, justice and fair-
offer
more catholic he would be rendering
the connection a real service. If he
means business then why not call all
sinners to repent of their sins? For
if a failure to audit the books of the
Financial, Education, and the Busi-
ness Manager, as well as the Sunday
School Union, department is not 2
wilful violation of all rules of econo-
play, and make his generous
my, I do not know what sinning
against an institution, or a people is.
Now I am not saying who is re-
sponsible for that sort of thing. But
I am saying that that is new type of
business that wnuld not
be tolerated anywhere save where it
now is. .I have been in the active ser-
vice of the ministry of the A. M. E.
Church for a long time and I know
what it means to dawn the gloves,
and enter the ring with the syndi-
cate that is responsible for the condi-
tion complained of in this letter; still
I am ready to be offered up for the
good of the cause. Instead of userp-
ing all the space in our church papers
boosting men for this and that office,
why not let them produce something
to show their fitness. Which one of
them dare write a treatic on any one
of the fundamental principles of
Christianity, such as the Trinity, the
Sonship of Christ? not one. And yet
when one succeeds in getting the credi-
tor to underwrite or cancel part of
pn indebtedness on a church or some-
thing of that sort he is good bishop
timber,
At the rate we are going when will
we produce such men as Dr. E. Stan-
Jey Jones; Shaler Matthews, or Ly-
mon Abbot? :
The time has come when we should
do something more concrete, and
definite to build up our Zion. Why not
create a sinking fund for both, the

what interest
ceived?
The ministry from the Bishops down
to the humbliest servant who gives
all of his time ministering to souls
should be properly cared for. The
U. S. Government pays it servants
living wages, and yet when they reach
the age of retirement they are given a
Ipension to brighten their lives, and
pre thope of their children, so that
they never loose faith in the old ship.
I am now serving my eighth year
every steward and trustce, and the
as pastor of St. Stephen AS. NE Ts,
Church. When I-came here the mem-
bership was split, one half led by
choir, of seventy voices, was worship-
ing in the Odd Fellow’s Hall, the other
half led by my predecessor, was hold-
ing the fort in the church. The mort-
gage debt at that time was $46,500.00).
We succeeded in reuniting the two
factions, without the lost of 2 single
number, reduced the mortgage debt to
$13,466.25, got a new contract which
calls for no interest on the money,
and to cap the climax the creditors
agreed to give us two dollars credit
on the principle every time we pay
thm one. In other words, every time
we pay them a thousand dollars we
get credit for two thousand. Pretty
good work, I think But does that,
alone fit and qualify the minister who
led that people to that point; for the
bishopric? I should say not.
Fundementally the A. M. E. Church
is one of the sotndest institutions of
its kind existing in the world today.
Hey constitution which includes the
Twenty-five Articles of Religion, the
General Rules, and the Articles of
Organization, and Government, bubs
her a real, potential and progressive
heritage handed down to us by the
Fathers of African Methodism. What
are we doing to improve upon what
they gave us? We had no real, up-
to-date, written record then, and we
have none better now: Not only that
but our membership stands today just
about where it was twenty-five or
thirty years ago. © And what of our
hook of discipline as compared to
those of other denominations? I am
not a pessimist; I am an optimist. I
have. much hope and faith in the
church of Allen, hence my suggestion
to stop, take stock, check up on our-
selves and see what is our liabilities
as well as our assets.
