Bishop stated that he tried never to

: was ambitious to better his condition.
Therefore, he gave the minister his
transfer, stating that this turn of af-
fairs was as much of surprise to him-
self, as it was to the congregation.
Where to look for a pastor for Stew-
ard. with the conference about two
months away, Bishop Fountain stated
ly, that he had not the slightest
idea: but’ taking the congregation and
officers into his confidence he promised
to “Find a Man” for the place.
Death Takes Hand
When the Bishop went to Philadel-
phia to attend Bishop Heard’s funeral,
he told Bishop D. H. Sims of his trou-

PRAYER THOUGHT
By William Chalmers Covert
Bind our human hearts, O God, into
ivine fellowship with Thee and with
Thy son, Jesus Christ our Lord. May
we find in this fellowship the formula
by which men here on earth may be
bound in the bonds of love without re-
gard to race, class, or creed. May the
problems of our working life, in which
controversy and prejudices mar fra-
ternity, be brought to the test of Thine
for the meaning of words. Like a| lowship. Pliny, long ago, wrote of the| own standards of brotherhood. May the
unhappy nations suffering from false
pride or nursing the memory of in-
justice. and wrong at the hands of
other nations, be enabled to absolve
their problems in a new mutuality that
is born of respect for one another's
peror meant death. To profess belief | associations, the stimulus of thosejrights and of desires to serve the highest
welfare of the haman race. May the
nations so learn of Thee and so learn
to work in Thy light that men may
have not only peace with God but with
one another. Through Jesus Christ our
Lord, Amen.

Presenting the Topic
(The leader will find much help from
the Daily Verses for the week, and
while it may be difficult to describe
the theme in terms that boys and girls
will understand, the several ideas sug-
gested there are important.)
It is important to define some terms ij ah
Junior Language.
\ sinner is anyone who fails to live up
to the laws of conduct that God has set
God means for all people to live
according to right. To fail to do so is to
sin, and the one who sins is a sinner.
\ lost person is one who is off the true
se, and is bound for the wrong goal.
nner is lost because he has let
shut out the way he should go, and
as no guide to bring him back,
A Saviour is one who comes to a per-
son who is a sinner and says, “I will re-
move your sin so that it will no longer
control you, and keep you away from
God.” To a lost person He says, “I will
put you back on the right way so that
you can find God.”
Forgiveness is the act of doing away
with the trouble caused by sin. When
one sins he shows that he does not
rh a ae or God’s laws. But when |
s about it and tells God he is”
sorry, God says. “That’s all right,—I’ll
not hold that against you,”

Lee happy. They cannot be happy
so long as they hate each other, and do
_ mean and violent things against each
other. So the message of Jesus is that
people should love each other. He show-
_ed how this can be done by loving all
those who lived about Him when He
was on earth. The love that Jesus
_ teaches makes people happy.

HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He ncticed 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 skn 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 experijnent
with this grayish clay and soon found that *t contained medicinal quali
ties.

AFRICAN METHODISM IN THE
CITY OF CHICAGO
By Eugene J. Thompson
African Methodism is taking on new
life in the city of Chicago, Perhaps
this grows out of the fact that at our
last Annual Conference, Bishop John
\. Gregg and Dr. A. Wayman Ward
gave good assurance that Greater
Bethel would soon be housed. Dr.
Ward is silently but we believe suc-
cessfully working out a plan where-by
all African Methodism will have cause
to rejoice, for once Bethel is housed,
African Methodism will have redeemed
itself in this great metropolitan center.
The members of the Annual Con-
ference were so pleased to hear the
encouraging news about Bethel that
without a single question the Confer-
ence appropriated five hundred dollars
($500.00) to help finance the proposi-
tion, and many of the ministers made
personal pledges to help Dr. Ward
carry out his plans.
Bishop John A. Gregg has won the
hearts of the people of the city of
Chicago, We believe in him, and under
his administration will climb to new
heights in the Chicago Conference.
The people are generally pleased

give us! Create in us a clean heart
and renew a right spirit within us.
Help us, we beseech Thee, to bring
forth fruits worthy of repentance
that we may be redeemed from the
foul clutches of this national evil,
_ and may order all our ways in the
fear and love of God. Amen.” _

Following this, an elaborate serving
of ice cream and cake to the enjoyment
of all, It was indeed an excellent tri-
bute and an enjoyable party which will
not soon be forgotten by the minister
or his family. - ‘i
St. James does herself proud in the
recognition of the services rendered by
one who labors arduously for the spirit-
ual and temporal edification of church
and people. :

INSPECTION TRIP OF THE MIS-
JONARY FIELD OF THE A. M. E.
CHURCH
In The West Indies, South America,
Republics of Haiti, Sante-Domingo
- And Jamaica
We left New York City, pier 96,
‘orth River, 56th St., November 11,
037. We were one day behind the
egular sailing schedule due to a strike
pn the part of the crew of the S.S.
Nerrissa,” which they say was neces-
ary to take this step at the time and
place in order to protect their interests,
nd to avert a scheme which was fully
worked out to throw them out of work
at the end of that trip. Well, they won,
and now have an assurance of their jobs
with increase in wages.
After one day out of New York City,
we ran into a severe storm, wind reach-
ing the velocity of 60 miles or more per
our, and churned the sea into such
adness until the thing which did not
look like water could cut such capers.
By the time we reached Cape Hatteras
off the coast of North Carolina, it seem-
ed to me that the Atlantic Ocean and
he sky above had had a falling out and
hat they decided to fight it out on
these high seas just at a time when I
appened to be aboard of the sea-
worthy S.S. “Nerrissa” of the Furness
Line traveling the Atlantic Ocean and
plying the water of the Caribbean Sea.
At times it looked as though the sky
and sea had met, and our ship just
limbed those mountinous waves like
@ man climbing a ladder, and would
rawl down on the other side with rud-
cer and propeller touching nothing but
thin air and merciless winds, as she
struck down in the deep trough formed
by the rolling waves; then the under
urrent would catch her and rock her
like a mad boy trying to rock his baby

that ministerial duty, but the cruise
director found me in bed and unable
to get up; but during the afternoon
after the seas had calmed, and the
sun seemed to have said the battle was
over, I arose and conducted an evening
service. Monday brings to us a very
bright day and every body seemed to
be feeling fine, and especially that it
was announced on the daily bulletin
board that we would reach the Island
of St. Thomas on Tuesday 16th at 2 p.m.
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, U. S. A.
This Island was our first stop after
leaving New York. As the “Nerrissa”
pushed her nose into the narrow chan-
nel of the Carribbean Sea, which
brought us into full view of this beauti-
ful Island, flanked on one side by great
ills, and as we neared the landing
ese hills loomed into mountainous
proportions. We could catch the odour
of perfumes and the delicate scent of
bananas and other tropical fruits which
are not only indigenous to the islands
of the South Seas but serve as a com-
mercial securityfor these “New Ameri-
cans.”
It may be remembered that this Is-
land and St. Croix were purchased
from the Danish Government during
the administration of the late Woodrow
Wilson, president of the U. S. of
America. After much diplomatic and
international dickering, these islands
were purchased because they could
serve as a most advantageous entrance
to the Panama Canal.
St. Thomas is the introduction to
these beautifully awe-striking islands
of the West Indies. Whatever one may
think of these ancient towns with many
quaint buildings, and however primi-
tive the modernist may paint them to
be, there is one thing certain that they
express the opinion, idea, culture, and
refinement to which the world of our
day and generation must look up with

at Grove Place, Rev. Roberson, pas-
tor. Here we met a splendid group of:
and women, and children. After
y helpful service, and the collec-
of certain data, and taking record
Il our work there we were driven
with a very interesting group of peo-
ple.
We spoke to them and got all neces-
sary information from this church.
We distributed Bibles, A. M. E. Hym-
nals. and Disciplines, also other mis-
sionary literature to all three of these
pastors for their congregation.
St. Kitts—Here is a very beautiful
city; in practically all of these islands
the ships have to land from one to
two miles out from the shore and small
row boats and some gasolene boats
meet the steamer and take passengers
ashore for 25 cents, Many of the citi-
zens make their living that way. Many
little boats meet these ships, and bid
and yell for passengers to take their
boats. And as an attraction to these
visitors, many of these boats have quar-
tettes, musical instruments, many quaint
songs of the islands and rattlers made
of small gourds, all of which carry a
harmony and rhythm that is charm-
ing to the ear. St. Kitts is the oldest
British Colony in the West Indies.
Barbados.—We arrived at this island
at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning. Our
pastor Rev, W. A. Beckles came out
to the boat to meet us and took us
ashore. Rev, Beckles is quite a leader
in this Island, and aside from pastoring
his church and teaching school, he is
also quite a factor in civic affairs. He
has been recently appointed a Justice
of the Peace by the Governor. We met
many of his people, held conferences
with them, visited all of our churches,
secured the history of the church, ob-
tained necessary information concern-
ing the property and the general activi-
ties of our pastors and members. We
also distributed literature for these
churches. We were taken to the resi-
dence of Bishop D. W. Bentley, the
Bishop of the church of England, He
was most cordial and gracious to us
and showed us many courtesies. This
church is sometimes called the Anglican
Church, which is the Mother Church
of the Episcopalians in America.

A NEW SPIRIT
There has been a great change
in funeral customs since the days
of our grandfathers. Many of
the practices decreed by custom
at that time were needlessly cruel
to the bereaved relatives and
friends. The modern funeral di-
rector tries in every way to em-
phasize the mood of hopefulness
rather than that of gloom. This
lightens the burden of the living
without detracting from the pro-
per reverence for those who have
passed on.

» E. J. HOWARD TARRIES
_ AT UNION CITY UNTIL
_ PENTECOST RETURNS
The conference at Mt, Pleasant and
Union City, Tenn, held by the Bishop
E. J. Howard will long be remembered
and never be forgotten by those who
were there. There is no language, ton-
gue or,pen that could describe what
took place at these two conferences.
All I can say, it was inspeakable, be-
yond the pale of language; it was Pen-
tecost returned.
Since 1898, have I been preaching
and attending conferences and have
had thirteen bishops all of whom I
loved and obeyed; but I have never
seen nor heard at anytime or place what
was witnessed at Union City November
11 and 12th 1937 while Bishop E. J.
Howard leading and assisted by Dr.
D, L. Witherspoon the giant leader of
the Horns of Hatten noon service, and
Drs. C. H. Harding, I, T. Jefferson and
Wm. Oliver; while these lead on, we
all tarried and prayed until the day of
Pentecost returned, and so terrible was
that sight it will follow me to my grave.
We have been like Peter at the trans-
figuration ever since that sight of Di-
vine Presence which is the beginning
of the answer to my prayer begun in| _
New York 1936, O, God arouse the
Lions of | Righteousness!
May. long live Bishop Howard whom
no doubt, God has raised up for this
very thing and for such a time as this.
Yours for Godliness, Character, and
Christian Service.

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-
pecially one who must deal with
Methodist preachers during these times.

Center Union A. M. E. Church held

a fine lecture. All auxiliaries with
written reports accompanied with $1.00.
The Church is on a forward march un-
der the leadership of Rev. Thomas
Patridge, pastor. On Sunday the Sunday
School was well attended and inspired
with the Scripture of the lesson at
11:30 o'clock the P. E., was at his
best in a high spirit. Text “I have
