Dr. Nichols has in him the stuff of
which a Moses is made. During his
tenure of office, he was host to. the
the First Episcopal District into the
limelight. Besides, he was at the same
time the leading delegate representing
the district. Further, as a new candi-
| date for the bishopric, and also a young
man he ran well to the point of sur-
passing his fondest expectation,
Of such a man with great potential-
ities, the First District should be proud,
for his success makes history for both
the District and the Connection at
large. Such a man should receive the
support of his older *brothers in the
ministry, because in unity there is
strength in disharmony, pending dis-
integration.
God-speed to Dr. Nichols, continued
progress to the First Episcopal Dis-
trict, and many more years of wise
counsel to venerable Bishop
Heard!

Emmanuel Mission, then housed in an

THE MOTHER JOB
By Jane Burr
Jt really isn’t hard to be a mother.
There really isn't very much to do.
s
*
For 6 o”clock is time enough for rising,
And breakfast cooked—it really is sur-
The days are just exactly like 4
other— :
You simply shut your cyes anc wan-
der through!
And getting all the children washed
and dressed,
prising,
But mothers never seem to need a
rest.
The lunches must be packed and jack-
ets rounded,
And everybody soothed and sent te
school.
To say that mother rushes is un-
founded.
's nothing more to manage, aS a
rule.
it is to finish piles of sewing,
And cook and wash and iron and
serub and sweep,
To order food and keep the furnace
going—
n, perhaps, to hide herself
ast she’s tucked them
under covers,
And seen to doors that Dad’s forgot
to lock,
lriumphantly, at midnight, she dis-
covers,
She's nothing more to do till 6.o’clock.

“God could not be everywhere

The word “Mother” embodies
and expresses the noblest, pur-

thru the grey dawn shadows with
wonder in his eyes, attempted to
master the forces of nature and
build in the earth a home

throne which she has occupied
until this day. She brot forth

There is a danger that because
of complex organisational ma-
chinery the church may lose sight
of its central aim. Its only ex-
cuse. for existing is to inspire and
encourage mén to center their
lives in Jesus. Too frequently
the church itself becomes inter-
ested in the petty, trivial, and
non-essentials, such ‘as doctrinal
disputes and competition for o/-

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Freetown, Sierra Leone,
West Africa.
To Dr. George A. Singleton
Editor Christian Recorder.
Dear Doctor:
J aim sure, the good people of Ameri-
ca would like to hear news from West
Africa concerning our Presiding Bish-
op, the Rt. Rev. E. J. Howard, who for
a very short time has not only im-
pressed the people of Freetown, but
has become their friend. His name has
spread far and near, throughout West
Africa.
I take the opportunity of thanking
publicly on behalf of my people of
Sierra Leone; and West Africa as a
whole the Bishops in Council and the
august assembly of the last General
Conference in setting West Africa as
a separate Diocese. West Africa has
been longing and praying for it; and
is now proud of it. Bishop Howard's
coming has added dignity to our West
African work, We pray for him: and
ask for him your unstinted support.
Yours in the field,

church has greatly improved its spirit-
ual, numerical and financial strength
under the efficient leadership.
When Rev. Martin begun the pas-

one half years ago, he found the few
departments of the church at a stand-
still, much in peed of leadership and
mspiration. Rev. Martin with the full
cooperation of the membership soon
had the church on a systematic basis;
and instead of five departments, Bethel
now boasts of ten well © organized
boards, clubs and circles, not including
a “Vested” choir, large Sunday School
and a thriving A. C. E. League.

Week services were conducted at St.
James A. M. E. Church, Williamson,

as an illustration by the pastor as the
cross on which Jesus was crucified:
Whe services came to a successful cli-
max on Easter Sunday. The pastor
delivered the Easter sermon, using as
his subject: “Some Things That Do
Not Die.” At the evening service the
Sunday School gave the Easter pro-

The Seventy-first Session of the Vir-
Sinia Conference of the A. M. E.
Church held its session at the above
named place, April 14- 18th, the- Rt.
Rey. M. H. Davis, D. D., presiding. The
general officers visiting the conference
were as follows: the Rev. George A.
Singleton, D. D., Editor of the Chris-
tian Recorder; Brot E. A. Selby, Sec-
retary-treasurer of the Sunday School
Union; Dr. S. S. Morris, Secretary-
treasurer A. C. E. League, both of
nville, Tenn., and the Rey. Chas. W.
Abington, Editor of the Sunday School
Literature, Waco, Texas.
This was the most successful of con-
ferences held in Va. Over ten thou-
sand dollars having been raised, under
the efficient leadership of Bishop M. H.
Davis. His kind disposition, wise coun-
sel, brotherly love, and godly judgment
has been the means of bringing the
conference to the front ranks of the
church.
He, the bishop, has transferred

strengthened; but has also transferred

We have just reread the first edition
of “The Fifth Episcopal District, Pas-
toral,” and edited by that
ereat African Methodist bishop, Noah
W. Williams. When a pastor, presid-
ing elder, or layman reads it something
seems to fill his very soul with a deep
sense of appreciation for the privilege
of membership in the African Metho-
dist Church, and with a deepening sense
of devotion to the African Methodist
ideal. Tt is not ours to discuss this
most illuminating release but its per-
usual has moyed us to make something
of an appraisal of the author, or crea-
for of “The Pastoral”, Noah Wellington
Williams.
Perhaps it would not be out of place
to keep in mind that achievement and
progress along all lines and in all ages
of human existence have come as the
result of the ability of certain individ-

conferences over which he has charge,
After the conference had listened to
words from Professor Selby concerning
; the Sunday School Union, the bishop
rejlied by saying, “That as long as
Bryant was elected by the General
Conference, he supported him, as per
discipline. “But now that he is no long-
er a general officer, and therefore, |
shall not support him,” declared the
bishop.
The bishop urged the men of the
conference to put forth strenuous ef-
forts to clear the churches of debt. And
he made an effective plea counselling
the conference not to throw the people
into debt by the building of large
churches without the money which to
pay.
On Wednesday night the Rev. D, F.
Gladney, member of the conference,
preached the annual sermon which
proved to be the keynote of the ses-
sion. The Bible and Ministers Mes-
sage. The Rey. A. L. Williams delivered
the missionary sermon. The address on
Education was presented by the Rey. P.
