LEON BURTON
BISHOP TOOKES AS SEEN BY
ANOTHER BISHOP
I have known Bishop H. Y. Tookes of
the African Methodist. Episcopal
Church for a good many years, even
before he was elected Bishop, I have
always regarded him as a capable man,
well able to stand on his feet and do a
full day's work wherever assigned. This
is the record he sustained while a pas-
tor in Florida, in Chicago, and where-
ever he served. He is a likeable man,
and a man whose friendship has yalue.
One will be mistaken to judge the man
by any apparent exterior indifference
which is easily misunderstood, Some
go so far as to call him rough and
hardboiled, But a close study of the
man will reveal something far different.
He is kind, affable and brotherly. And
this disposition he carries with him day
by day whether he is with his colleages
;or with the humblest minister in the
ranks, He knows how to be frank and
positive in dealing with men. This is a
quality required of an executive, es-
ne
iia!

Hebrews 4:1 Let us fear therefore,
lest haply, a promise being left of en-
tering into his rest, any one of you
should seem to have come short of it.
2 For indeed we have had good tidings
preached unto us, even as also they:
but the word of hearing did not profit
them, because it was not united by faith
with them that heard. 3 For we who
have believed do enter into that rest;
even as he hath said,
As I sware in my wrath,
They shall not enter into my res
although the works were finished fro:
the foundation of the world. 4 For
he hath said somewhere of the seventh
day on this w ise, And God rested on
the seventh day from all his works; 5
and in this place again,
They shall not enter into my rest. 6
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some
should enter thereinto, and they to
whom the good tidings were before
preached, failed to enter in because of
disobedience, 7 he again defineth a
certain day, To-day, saying in David
so long a time afterward (even as hath
been said before.)
To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
Harden not your hearts.
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he
would not have spoken afterward of
another day. 9,There remaineth there-
fore a sabbath rest for the people of
God. 10 For he that is entered into
his rest hath himself also rested from
his works, as God did from his. 11
Let us therefore give diligence to enter
into that rest, that no man fall after
the same example of disobedience.
_ Golden Text: Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and I
ill give you rest—Matthew 11:28.

KITTRELL COLLEGE
Kittrell, N. C. Rehabilitated
By A. Lincoln Criglar
_ Continued from Last Issue _
Madam Lucy M. Hughes is connec-
tionally known as an untiring worker,
but as she was called upon by Bishop
Davis so many times to preside or
take the leading role during the con-
vocation, as she came upon the steps
of the library to preside at an evening
session she said with a deep sigh to
Mrs. Clara E. Harris, another gréat
woman in Missionary work: “Your
bishop sure knows how to work people.”
She was right. This was a busy con-
vocation carried on by an optimistic
_ gathering. Drones and disgruntles found
‘themselves quite lonesome. The bishop
worked very hard hintself before and
during the session, Not only did he work;
hard, but the first night gave his bed to
another and slept in a chair; his wife
and daughters gave their beds and
slept in a car. Hence, the sacrifice
requisite for the success of the convoca-
tion were shared first and largely by the
bishop and his family.
Now just a few words relative to a
few prominent personalities graced the
convocation and also whose contribution
thereto gave both information and in-
_ spiration. Our venerable senior bishop
ne fired the first shot of inspiration through
his opening sermon. Dr. John R. Haw-
_ kins imparted both inspiration and in-
formation by epitomizing the history
of Kittrell College. Attorney Kittrell,

ference, “Mr, Rediford for the W. N. C.
Conference, and Rev. R. A. Ridick of

the young ministry, These young peo-
ple were interesting as they talked back
to Dr. Allen, but all accepted the charge
given them, Dr. Geo. A. Singleton, our
very fine editor of the Recorder, said:
“I do not care what any one thinks
about it, I am against anyone who trys
to destroy this church.” He said fur-
ther, “To improve the bishops we must
improve the preachers and improve the
preachers we must improve the mem-
bers; for bishops and preachers come
from members,” This is helpful and
wholesome philosophy. Dr. S, S. Morris
does not know how to say “no” when

But there is a larger and
sETHER 1 © excellent reason for practicing

Justice is an obligation because every
human being made in the image of
er cy Music vena God, has a claim to Justice from his
a mn fellowmen. And justice is a prere-
j quisite to true mercy, which brings re-
freshment, “like the gentle rain from
Heaven,” upon the so-called superior
and inferior—whether white or black,
red or brown. It does not remove the
difficult problems of race relations but
it prepares our spirits so that we can
tackle them together.
Not a little of the spiritual, moral
and structural weakness of the Church
today can be traced to its uncertainty
the past on questions of fundamental
human rights involved in race relations,
Some of the divisions in the major de-
nominations grew out of differences
over this issue. In these critical days
when problems of our rapidly changing
world are making history, churchmen
cannot compromise on these basic hu-

TICKLING OF BRAIN WITH ELEC-
TRICITY URGED BY DOCTOR
Science May Save Lives By New
Method, He Says
ROCHESTER, N. Y.—(AP)—A new
method of saving lives on the operating
table. by tickling the brain with weak
clectricity was suggested today at the
closing session of the National Academy
of Science’s fall meeting,
Dr. W. K. Smith of the University
of Rochester said that he had found
in experiments with monkeys( cats and
cerebral cortex, or covering of the
brain, which stimulated and retarded
breathing but did not stop it.
These areas do not in themselves
control breathing, he added, but seem
to act in harmony with the area deep
in the hind brain which does control
respiration, ij
Slight manipulation of the areas in
the cortex, however, produced either
a quickening or a slowing of breathing
according to which one was touched.
When the nerve fibers running from
the areas were cut these responses dis-
appeared but could be produced again
by stimulating the eut ends of the
a with weak electricity. Dr. Smith
Said.
These stimulating areas have not been
located exactly: in man, he added, but
Probably lie on both sides about mid-

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
Loves Black Children”
For there is no respect of Persons with
God.—Romans 2:11, 4
Ina little Southern town, two white
children were singing, early one Mon-
day morning. It was a signal to the
colored maid to come up and dress
them. As she approached the nursery,
her little charges were still singing, and
she heard very distinctly, the closing
words of the son, “Yes, Jesus Loves
Black Children, The Bible tells me so.”
Julia, the nurse, was an intelligent
young woman, and was anxious to
know where Virginia and Elizabeth
learned this song. Complimenting the
children on their wonderful singing,
she later related the incident to their
mother. She smilingly said, the little
ones learned the song in Sunday School.
Mrs. Stevens, the wife of the town’s
only active physician, repeated the story
to Julia, as told by the Sunday School
teacher, Miss Love.
One Sunday in the Primary Depart-
ment, a little girl asked, “Does Jesus
love Black Children?” Answer: “Yes,
Jesus loves” Black children, Brown
children, White children, Red children
and Yellow children: Jesus loves all
the children.” Question: “Does Jesus
love dirty Black children, who don’t
wash their faces, and comb their hair,
and put on clean clothes?” Answer:
“Yes, Jesus loves them too.” In order
to fix this in their minds, the young
teacher taught them to sing, “Jesus
Loves Black Children.”

BISHOP R. C. RANSOM AND
BISHOP S. L. GREENE IN
KENTUCKY
Bishop R. C. Ransom easily one of
the brightest minds and most far sight-
ed of the men of this day and genera-
tion, he is the Eagleyed Isaiah, the
Hosea and Amos. and the Moses of
this race and age.
Some would call him a Democrat,
yea, he is more, he is a statesman of
the first magnitude whose interest is
not in parties per se, or place, or honor,
or gain; but his highest interest is in
rendering humanity a noble Christian
Service.
This is the man whom all Kentucky
loyes and is delighted to honor obey
and follow, who being assisted by one
of the tallest cedars of Mt, Lebanon,
and one of the lions of the tribe of
Judah, a logician, a prince among men,
a friend of the forgotton man, a Chris-
tian gentleman, we refer to Bishop S.
L. Greene; who went through Ken-
tucky in the Spirit of Christ Chasing
away the Satonic forces of darkness
until we all exclaimed Christ is all, all
in all, Christ is all.
A reign of righteousness has again
come to Kentucky under the leadership
of this prince among men and Ken-

I for one, can say her. wise council
saved me once when I was about to do
a foolish thing, and God be praised.
Kentucky has gone forward by leaps
and bounds these two years in every
way under the leadership of Bishop and
Mrs. Ransom. There has been an in-

Character, and in all the temporal af-
fairs of the church,

tend the funeral of Rev. W. L, Scott,
presiding elder of the Leland District,
Central Mississippi Conference, who
died at his home Friday morning, Oct.

on his way to Indianola to hold his
Fourth and last quarter for the Con-

The funeral oration was delivered by
ie Rev. C. L. Mabry, the pastor at
Hollandale and a life-long friend and
lass-mate of Rev, Scott; he used as a
text, Il Tim. 4:7, “I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith.” The large number of
'riends present and the beautiful florals
attested to the high esteem in which
the Rey. Scott was held in the District,
the Central Conference and the entire
Mississippi Delta; ministers from all
over the Delta were present and the
pastors of the District acted as pall-
bearers;

Bishop H. Y. Tookes, presiding Bish-
op of the 12th Episcopal district of the
A. M. E. Church opened the 42nd
Annual Session of the Oklahoma Con-
ference Wednesday morning with the
Allen Chapel Church of Oklahoma City

elected chief secretary. ~

5) iy “Openin addr s to the con-
ference, Bishop Tookes spoke of the
Success of the two other conferences in
Oklahoma recently held. He also re-
called the strength and principals of
the A. M. E. Church, He added: “We
came to Oklahoma City to prove our-
selves workmen worthy of hire. We
shall leave Oklahoma City richer in
things fundamental. We expect the
members of the conference and the
members in Oklahoma City to cooperate
with our program of human uplift and
spiritual awakening to the end that we
shall leave here as gloriously as we did
the former conferences.” Said he,
“When a minister thinks of God’s good-
ness and mercy toward him, it fires his
soul, especially when he remembers
what God has done for him, and that
He still lives and reigns throughout the
world. David spoke of his goodness to
him, and I do know he who sits on his
throne will do right, though he’ll rage
because we believe in the witness of
the Spirit. ;
We have a great work to do. It takes
a consecrated minister to stand the
hardships in this state for God, I like
the word regeneration better than I do
the word conversion. Christ says, “Ye
must be born again, It takes the man
who has been changed by the power of
God to preach a fiery gospel.” I want
to see the Methodist Church get back to
the old land mark of the fathers like
John Wesley, Richard Allen and others.
Sometimes I think our theological
schools are not doing just what they
should in preparing men to preach
God’s word. It is not the letter, but the
spirit, the old gospel fire, to stir men to
glorify God. Jesus was out on the way,
seeking the lost; opening the eyes of
the blind to see the light. Paul, when
he fell from his horse saw a light. We
can see the light sometimes—the light
of Christ. I have sat in my room many
a‘time and saw the light of Christ and
preached to myself until I would be
bathed in tears. Brethren, the duty of
the Methodist Church is to set this
world on fire for God.
“Don’t go about over Oklahoma with a
wet blanket, finding fault and complain-
ing, but let every preacher set every
hamlet on fire. God has provided noth-
ing for our back, but face the enemy of
your soul; go forward stand your
ground and work, and God will fight
your battles. I am here to see that all
men are treated fair. Said he. ‘I like
Oklahoma. I am not going any where,
I am going to stay in the 12th district
eight years.
