Dear Co-laborer :
On the 29th and 30th of Septem-
ber, the Mid-Year Conference and
Sesqui-Centennial convene. On
the Ist and 2nd of October the
Youth Conference convenes. All
will be held at Mother Bethel
A.M. E. Church, Philadelphia.
This is my first great call as
your Bishop. By all means bring
up your FULL quota. We must
raise our Educational money and
we must take care of our Book

call to arms. Respond in God’s
name for the Cause of the King-
dom and African Methodism.
At the Mid-year Conference, we
are requesting each Conference

Women’s Parent Mite Missionary
Society to meet in special session.
Yours faithfully,

Dr. Campbell had travelled extensive-
ly through the darkest jungles of
Siberia, on the Western part of Russia
“in Asia, and whilst among the wild
| tribal race of that region, he was able
to do his humble share by the grace of
God for Christianity, He turned to
make an elaborate survey of- the ro-

Iyory Coast, Gold Coast, Nigeria and
other-remote spheres in the old con-

long root of heathenism, barbarism and
all that tends to dwarf the moral, spirit-
ual and social advancement of Christ-
ian civilization.
At length the preacher at his best
brought home to the congregation the
main theme of his discourse which was
indeed startling, providing a memorable
occasion for all who were privileged to
enjoy the scholastic fluency, eloquence,
and above all the very impressive char-
acter of his simple and healthy religious
deductions.
The congregation and all were en-
abled to enjoy the learned Doctor’s
farewell sermon that night carried

commented on the same, and asked

“Having obtained help of God, I con
tinue unto this day.”—Acts 26:22.
As we sat in the ¢ onference some
one expressed the things he had done
for the church. To which the presid-
ing Bishop replied that we should never
lose sight of what the church has done
for us Said he, “the church has done
more for me than can I eyer do for it.
It took me as a barefoot boy and made
me a bishop where I am today.”
We often hear both laymen and min-
ters boasting of what they have done
r the charch. It would be well for
of us to thank God for the church
which has done so much for us.

The 8th District follows him because
he is our big brother and loving father
and because of his reverential poise,

him because in this fellowship of a big

him‘as our father in advice and council
and we haye found him to be a Solomon.
Many ministers and laymen from all
parts of Mississippi and Louisiana came
to see and hear our ideal of this District,
Bishop Greene. He revitalized his con-
ference program of worship, devotion
and stewardship, thus reflecting his new
thought of education and administra-
tion. This new advance brought new
results and a closer unity. A oneness
of purpose and action. Not since the}
balmy days of Bishop W. H. Heard,
1916-1920 have I scen Mississippi and
Louisiana so united. Bishop Heard led
the connection during these years
of stress and strain and the stalwarts of
Mississippi and Louisiana have decided
that our illustrous son and eminent pre-
late must have first place this year in
increase of connection claims.
Peace and harmony abide with us,
possessing a oneness of purpose and ac-
tion, following our gallant intrepid and
invincible leader with a hip, hip, hip,
harrah! Why not? Our leader has

members in the grand old 8th who are
standing behind him like the Spartans
of old, until he reaches the goal and
will stand therefore. With such a spirit
throughout the church, with Bishops,
General Officers, College Presidents,
Deans, Presiding Elders, Pastors and
members at the close of the series of
Conferences the Church’s Budget will
be balanced.

HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He noticed 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 seyeral days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor sk-n 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 experiment
with this grayish clay and soon found that 't contained medicinal quali+
ties.

Desperate Situation
The dramatic fight to save the lives
of both victims was described by Dr.

sioner, who said:
Williams, deputy health commis-
“The situation was most desperate.
Because we had only one iron lung in
Denver, it was necessary at first to share
the machine between the two young
patients.
“Little Shirley offered smilingly to
give up the machine for periods of about
20 minutes to Maybelle. She’s the brav-
est little human being I’ve ever seen.
“It soon became apparent, however,
that these 20 minute periods would not
be sufficient for Maybelle. She had to
be kept in the iron lung constantly or
there was no h ope at all for her.
“That forced us to take a terrific
responsibility. We finally had to de-
prive Shirley of the iron lung altogether
until the respirators came from Chicago
and Toronto,

55,000,000-YEAR-OLD ‘FOSSILIZ!
LIZARD FOUND BY SERVA
announced Sunday by Dr. G. L. Jepson,
of Princeton University.
Dr. Jepson, who has conducted field
explorations in the fossil beds north-
west of Powell for 11 years, said the
six-inch well preserved skeleton is the
first of its kind uncovered by scientists.
“Tt lived a few centuries after the
another link in the study of reptiles,”
Dr. Jepson, said) “The lizard apparently
thrived during the Paleocene Epoch
some 55,000,000 oe ago, according
to geological time.”
demonstrated its ability to produce
almost anything out of a carload of
coal. Germany pedagogy now is de-
monstrating its ability to produce anti-
Semitism out of almost anything—even
an ant-hill. 2
A new guide for teachers, written by
Fritz Fink in a little book called “The
Jewish Question in Teaching,” tells
how it can be done. =~
He tells of a Munich scientist ob-
serving a nest of white ants who saw
the unfoldment of a drama which
amounted to the peaceful penetration of
an unsuspecting nation by an alien race.
The upshot was, of course, revolution
in the anti-hill, slaughter of the queen,
confusion, social anarchy, chaos. And
the obvious lesson. Fink tells the
teachers, is that peaceful penetration of
any unsuspecting nation by large num-
bers of Jews inevitably leads toward
the same thing. Fink asserts this is a
lesson any school child can understand.
“The children,” he says, “must be
taught to realize that the anti-Jewish
laws and the fight against the Jews
are not the result of mere spleen and
high-handed procedure, but an action of
national self-defense.” :
ILLITERACY STATISTICS

Gentlemen: .
My attention has been called to the
fact that during the week of August
28th. you carried an article under my
cut which stated: O. M. Travis was
elected financial secretary of the Su-
preme lodge of K. of P., I wish to
state that I was not elected secretary
* of the above body and did not aspire to
any office in the Supreme lodge which
convened in St. Louis, I was a member
of that body and represented my Grand

At the state Grand lodge K. of P.
which met in Louisville, Ky. prior to
the meeting in St. Louis, I was endorsed
for Financial Secretary of the A. M. E.
Church and also by the Masonic Grand
lodge which convened in the city of
Lexington, Ky., and just a few days ago
I was endorsed by Kentucky’s Youth
Congress which convened in Monticello,
Ky. Probably the correspondent ‘who
covered some of these meetings made
the error.
I shall be grateful to you for this cor-
rection,
Yours truly,
O. M. Travis
even in the most militant note that
could be discerned, there lurked in un-
disguisable form the most fatal elements
of pessimism and defeatism. I was well
aware of the timidity that should mark
[the bearing of any delegate of such
unknown status as myself, but to the
eternal credit of that peculiar some-
thing that marks every loyal son of
Allen, our illustrious founder, I could
not sit idly by and permit the chance
of a lifetime to pass, without injecting
something into that notable document
that it occured to me, it so sorely need-
ed and that was nothing less nor more
than what we often call the “Allen
Spirit”’—one of “dare and adventure,
under Christ”! 1! 1

MY NEIGHBOR’S GARDE
By Josephine T. Washington
My neighbor's garden lies smiling in
the early rays of a July sun. *
Birds flit here and there, alighting
on convenient twigs and trilling a_
morning lay, stopping at the fountain
to tip their dainty heads for a cooling
drink, or to flutter down for a re-
ireshing bath in the receptacle pre-
pared for them. Butterflies of varied
hues, their brilliant colors flashing in
the sunlight, linger-among the sweet-
smelling blossoms. f ‘
Flowers grow in luxuriance: graceful :
honeysuckles clinging to its support,
red roses, white roses, yellow roses
spreading on low bushes or climbing
the fence and carrying their generous
beauty into an adjoining yard,. lovely
petunies, black-eyed Susans, tall holly-
hocks standing like sentinels in bril-
ltiant uniforms, lilies in stately beauty,
and many others some of whose faces
we know, though not their names as is
so often the case with hunran beings.
There is, too, a fish pond in which
the little fish dart about, released from
{the ice-bound thralldom of the winter.
Back of the flower-garden is a kit-
chen-garden. Here cabbage, collards,
potatoes, tomatoes, beets, lettuce, beans
grow for family consumption.
Benches invite’ one to rest and to
linger among these green things. Com
ing out singly to sit and read, or in
groups to converse, are members of the
family-the husband and wife, the sons
and daughters, and the little grand-
children. Friends, also come to chat,
admiring the garden with its three-foid
divisions. Generally, before they leave,
a gift of flowers or vegetables has been
bestowed upon them,
When the chill winds of autumn be-
gin to blow and to sweep through the
garden, rarely does any one come to
sit on the benches and look out upon
the scene, now less vivid than before.
But the Master is there, cherishing, his
beloved plants, no less dear to him now
than in the days of their past-time
glory. Even when wintry blasts blow,
and the flowers are ragged and wilted,
stripped of all splendor, he comes and
looks tenderly upon all, many of them
lying low as in humble submission. He
remembers what they have been even
what they are, though only the eye of
faith and love can appreciate the beau-
ty now hidden. He knows they are ‘“not-
dead”; only “sleeping”. He realizes
that they are as truly alive as are the
fish under the ice, which he breaks
every morning to let the outer air zo
down to them and‘to feed them.
As warm weather approaches, other
needs have to be met, The ground must
be prepared, seeds sown, plants prun- _
ed, and transplanted, The period of
fruition is not far distance. Soon the
new shoots appear; needs, too, that
demand alert and tireless uprooting.
Watering, loosening the soil where =
needed, watchful for destructive in-
sects, looking eagerly for signs of new
life, Spring days pass swiftly for tl
gardener. 7 ae

this is a family devoted to one another
and solicitous for the welfare of every
member, Rosie oe
In my morning paper I saw this
query: “Are the people who have gar-
dens naturally kind-hearted, or does
having a garden make them so?”
I do not know to which class this
neighbor of mine belongs; but I am
certain that he has what some one has
called “roses in his heart,” as well as in
his garden. b P

LAKE CITY CITIZEN’S LAST
RITES LARGELY ATTENDED
The funeral services of Mrs. Florence
L. Jones were conducted from Mt.
Pisgah A. M. E. Church, Monday,
September 6, 1937, at 2:30 P.M. with
the pastor Rev. L. J. Jenkins officiat-
ing. Many persons were in attendance
to pay their last tribute of respects to
one who lived a life worthy of recog-
nition, anywhere. Very few persons
could surpass the goal which she at-
tained in rearing and educating a family
that has stood.foremost in the leading
professions of the world.
Mrs. Jones, known over a wide area
because of her nobility of character and
her virtures as a wife and mother, has
endeared hérself to all who knew her.
Her work, as a Christian soldier is
eminently instilled in the life of her
children who try to exemplify her early
training by rendering services in the
various communities in which they re-
side.
As a Christian, Mrs. Jones will be
missed but we will always have a sense
of her perpetual presence in our midst.
Such a personality will never die. Her
spirit is ever with us; her fine influence
grows brighter and stronger with the
years.
Dean W. G. Alexander of B. F. Lee
Theological Seminary, Edward Waters
College, delivered the Eulogy. Select-
ing the text from Isaiah 26 :3-“Thou will
keep him in Perfect peace whose mind
is stayed on thee; because he trusteth
in thee”. ; ‘ cass
Dean Alexandér in his masterly way
portrayed the life of a noble character,
whose works will live through the ages.
He admonished the mothers to return
to the fireside and instill the principles
of righteousness, in the hearts and minds
of the people they contact.
Stating further that “Milton, Bryant,
Dante and Jesus were not dead, be-
cause their works still live; so it is
with Mrs. Jones, her works shall ever
hrough the contributions of her

BISHOPS UNANIMOUS IN DECISION
OVER SUNDAY SCHOOL
LITERATURE
At a meeting of the Bishops’ Council which met in Memphis,
Tennessee, during the week of June 22nd, the Bishops unanimously
ordered that every Sunday School of the Connection use the Sunday
School literature as published by Prof. E. A. Selby, Secretary-Treas«
urer of the Sunday School Union of the Afican Methodist Episcopal
Church. The-department was also ordered to move in with the
Book Concern, in Philadelphia, Pa. This has been done.
All orders for Sunday School literature should be sent to E. A.
Selby, 716 South 19th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The Sunday School
supplies are already printed and ready for shipment; we are, there-
fore, asking that you cooperate with us further by sending your orders
early. Three weeks before the opening of the quarter will give your
orders plenty of time to reach us and allow for a reasonable possi-
bility of delay. Many of our schools are already following this
method.
We are following this procedure in calling the attention of the
Pastors to the orders of the Bishops. You are the chief Superinten-
dents of your Sunday Schools, and upon whose shoulders rest the
responsibilities of carrying out the orders of the Church. Let us
pull together brethen. In unity there is strength.
Yours for greater and better Sunday Schools, :
E. A. SELBY, Secretary.
