‘WHY ARMAMENTS?
By Edgar Blake
Why armaments? Our military lead-
ers answer that armaments are neces-
sary for national security, that armies
and navies are the guarantors of peace.
This answer is as false as it is futile
Every page of history stamps it a lie.
“Whatsoever a nation soweth that shall
it also reap.” This is the law of nature
and the law oi God. Nations that pre-
vare for war reap war. Mr. Coolidge,
several years ago, solemnly said: “The
American government and people are
convinced that competitive armaments
constitute one of the most dangerous
and contributing causes of internation-
al suspicion and discord and are cal-
culated eventuzlly to lead to war.”
Europe spent forty billion dollars in
forty years on armaments, professedly
in the interest of peace and security.
Every dollar spent on armaments weak-
ened the structure of peace. Every ex-
penditure on armies and navies under-
mined the foundations of security. In
1914 the culminated. The
colossal structure crumpled and col-
lapsed, burying Europe under an ava-
lanche of destruction and despair. Ten
millon lives were sacrificed on the bat
tlefield. Twenty-five million other Ivves
were taken as the direst and indirect
toll of the trrble strife. More than
$400,000,000,000, the accumulated say-
ings of centuries, were wiped out and
mad race
wasted.
Nations came out of the war broken
and bankrupt, buried under a mountair
of debt from which it is doubtful if they
can ever dig out. Industry was dis-
organized, trade ruined,’ finances de-
pleted to the vanishing point. The chaos
in which the whole world has been
weltering during the last few years,
with no relief in sight, is the outcome
of the World War. Civ tion is threat-
ened. All human kind is suffering from
wounds that ages will not heal.
The war that was. to end has proved
only a prelude to another. A. greater
war is in the offing. The war that was
to make the world safe for democracy
has resulted in dictatorships tor two-

in great cities, the church must appre-

get together. It is a Christian thing—

he must be taught to our children. His
followers must observe fixed assemblies,
holy symbols must be used intelligently,

his worshipers.

O Lord, save us from the dwarfing
sins of self-complacency as we enjoy the
with which Thou hast
crowned our national life. May our
abundance never detach us from our
sense of dependence on Thee for all
things. While we eat of our own fields
and drink from our own wells may we
know that “the earth is the Lord’s and
the fulness thereof” and that every-
thing is of Thine own giving. May our
strength keep us humble and kind in all
our intercourse with the peoples of a

UNIFICATION OR
SEGREGATION
A new high hurdle has loomed
up before those Methodists . who
are driving toward the unification
of .the .three .major .bodies .of
American Methodism., It is the
hurdle of the race question, the is-
sue of color.. It is being charged
by white and colored Methodists
alike that the plan of unification
is really a plan of segregation. .A
“manifesto” has been issued by a
group of colored Methodists, call-
ing for rebellion .and . secession.
The whole issue will seriously
affect the balloting of the Annual
Conferences of the M. E. Church,
South, which are voting. as .we
write.
The gist of the trouble lies in
the objection of the colored Meth-
odist Churches that in the reor-
ganization of the proposed united
Church, they are being separated
on a social instead of a territorial
basis; such segregation, they say,
is open to all the arguments urged
against .segregation .in .hotels,
i til next year, but those who are in-
LAN RECORDER
railroad trains and restricted resi-
dential neighborhoods.
On the other hand, the plan does
not require any individual colored
minister or congregation to .be-
come affiliated with a colored con-
ference... The .colored .churches
can choose their own bishops and
boards and educational leaders.
The General Conference of .the
Methodist Episcopal Church (the
Northern body) has already adopt-
ed the plan by a vote of 470 to 83.
The General Conference of the M.
E.Church, South, will not meet un-
t
formed predict an overwhelming
+ vote in favor of .the .plan. . The
Florida Annual Conference has
just voted for it. But those confer-
ences are white Conferences; the
real test will come when the color-
ed Methodists vote.. It .is .alto-
gether possible that some of them
will .withdraw .and .establish .a
church of their own.
That would be regrettable, as
the raising of the issue in the first
place. Knowing the | eaders of
Methodism as we do, it is
hard to believe that they de-
liberately planned segregation.
But the general feeling in Method-
ism seems to be that the plas falls
short of Jesus’ ideal of the King-
dom. It is one thing to believe in
brotherhood, another to .put ’.it
into actual mechanics of an or-
ganization.
It is an uncomfortable situation
for all concerned.. It will probab-
ly be settled by the Methodists on
their knees, rather than by Metho-
dists at the ballot box. Methodism
has a habit of settling things that
way.—The Chrisian Herald.
AFTER DEATH
/
Down in Arkansas the other day
a white, and a black man were
electrocuted in adjacent chairs. In
life they were divided but in death
they were united. Wonder how
they felt when naked they stood
Ibefore the throne of God. The
white man could not plead color
or immunity because of the Ar-
kansas Jim Crow law. These have
no effect in the presence of God—
not even before the theoretical
God of theology.
TRAVELING BY TRAIN
On August Ilth the writer
traveled by train from Jackson-
ville, Florida to Savannah, Ga. The
car in which he rode was ultra-
modern. The interior was done in
dark green, silver, and maroon.
The adjustable reclining chairs
were upholstered in dark green,
oer ah eee
ward. Overhead lights shot
square, non-glare reflector:
the floor was linoleum in a pat-
tern of large green and "Diack
squares. Racks for hats, parcels
and handbags were made of a
shiny non-rust material. Green
curtains were at the windows.
There were spacious, clean toilets
and lavatories, free paper towels
and cups. A courteous porter pro- —
vided pillows. Excellent meals
and cheap lunches were served.
The conductor and trainmen were
polite. ws

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Houston, Texas
My dear Dr. Singleton:
Just a line—lest ye forget.’ I wish,
to give my hearty endorsement to the
fine RECORDER you are putting out.
We knew you would do it. The proposa
for your elevation at New York met
with unanimous approbation and splen-
did magnanimity.
We join in affectionate regards to
you and shall ever pray for your con-
tinued success with the RECORDER.
Sincerely yours,
O. H. BENNS
Dr. Singleton:
The Church still feels the warmth
presented by you, in representing the
General Officers at the Bishops’ Coun-
cil Memphis, Tenn. You always show
those fine qualities of Christian man-
hood, when you have an occasion to
appear before the public.
Well, It is just like Dr. Singleton.
While using your pen, you are opening
another door which leads to a greater
building with more requirements at-
tached thereto.

ECHO WORLD CONFERENCE ON
FAITH AND ORDER
By Bishop S. L. Greene
Although quite conscious of the lack
of both time and ability to paint even
a faint picture, or to give anything
like an adequate evaluation of the re-
cent World Conference on Faith and
Order, which corivened in Assembly
Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland, I am im-
pelled, nevertheless, out of a sense of
duty, to set down a few of the more
notable things undertak'en; together
with a brief acknowledgement of the
for good, made
upon me and those of our immediate
party. 2
_ The Conference Membership
The Conference comprised a repre-
sentation from 122 Christian Communi-
ties in 43 different countries giving a
x
total membership of 414 delegates—
many of whom could well be classed F
among the most eminent churchmen of
our times.
This most worthy feature
that never once did mere eminence,
scholarship, or official position, how-
ever distinguished, overshadow the
supreme purpose; which was fellow-
ship, «nity, brotherhood. At every
stage of the two-weeks conclave, the
yery humblest could feel the closest
comradeship with the most renowned
for verily “Kings walked with peas-
ants and Arch-Bishops and Primates
vith humble parsons and communi-
cants.”
All alike, had come up to the New
Olivet, in penitence and prayer, to
prostrate ourselves before our One
Supreme Lord and Master to confess
our sins, both for ourselves and for
our peoples, and to pray for his for-
giveness and that He might lead us
anew in the matter of subduing our
stubborn wills and making us all to
know and realize that whatever clse
that we as individuals or as | groups
had been able to achieve through His
Grace, in all things we should and
niust be brethren, in Christ jesus our
Lord.
Bishop Heard And The Continuation
Committee
At an early stage in this release, I
must say something of the tremendous
debt of gratitude we owe to Bishop
W. H. Heard. We hardly realize, as
a Church, the significance of what he
has done, in the matter of keeping us
in the foreground, in this the supreme
Council of the Christian Churches of
the worid. He has represented ms as
an honored member of the Continu-
ation or Executive Commission for
quite ten years, all ibut at his own
expense, running I am sure far into
the Hundreds of Dollars, saying noth-
ing of the tremendous toll upon his
strength and time in making these an-
nual visits to the various sessions
With his full knowledge and consent
I was elected to succeed him, because
of his advanced years, ‘and following
in his wake I shall consider it ons of
the largest and most. sacred oppor-
tunities of my life to serve African
Methodism in seeking to help maintain
her rightful place in the galaxy of
worldminded organizations and the
which her illustrious’ founder and his
successors have ever intended her to
be.
The Conference As An Ecumenical
Movement
The Conference from its incipiency
has aspired to serve the churches of
Christendom in every part of the
world It had its genesis in the fertile
‘brain of the late Bishop Brent of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, through
whom God revealed his will and pur-
pose, during the meeting of the Inter-
Denominational Conference on Christ-
jan Missions, convening incidently in
this same “Assembly Hall” in Edin-
iburgh some twenty-seven years ago.

The Conference opened with a yery
impressive devotional service by the
pastor, Rev. Daniels assisted by the
visiting ministers. Following the de.
yotional services, a short but spicy pro-
gram of welcome was carried out, with
writer acting as Mistress of Ceremon-
ies. Address of welcome on behalf of
the church, welcoming the great crowd
of visitors was made by brother Lenard
Washington, steward and class leaders
of St. Mary A. M. E, Church. Response
by a sister of Napoleonville. Music
suitable for the occasion, was furnished
by St. Mary and Napoleonville choirs
The public collection, amounting to
$16.00, brought us to the most unique
number of the business feature of the
conference. The pastor, Rev. D. Daniels
“king of the Lake Charles District,”
was introduced by the writer, who pre-
sented the presiding elder, Dr. W. H
Hall, and called two strong men and
instructed them to stand one at the
tight and the other at his lett side lest
he should faint as the last report was
being made, and two women were like
wise stationed at the side of Mrs. W
H. Hall, the admirable wife of our pre-
siding elder, lest she too should break
down under the weight of the unique-
ness of the next number. As the con-
gregation sat almost breathless silence
and solicitude, he presented (the mis
tress of Ceremonies) who made thi
presentation—a purse containing fifty
dollars ($50.00) payment in full for two
quarters; thus paying the presiding
elder in -full for the conference year

HOLDS MUSICAL EXTRAVA-
——— sf
Sunday, April 18, 4 P. M. 1937 marked
a Real Red Letter event in the History
of St. Paul’s A. M. E. Church,
True to schedule in every detail did
the Parsonian Aggregation appear.
With Mrs. T. Leslie Scott, director gen-
eralisms sponsored this collossal affair
to the satisfaction of all. Having an-|
nounced that she would press in service
50 hostesses and each of these would
dispose of 50 tickets to bring the small
sum of $200.00 to the treasurer for per-
sonage improvements.
With a hearty good will these lovely
Jadies went to work taking orders from
the leaders and nobly brought to past
this Extravaganza. ;
The promise was to serve every ticket
holder during the afternoon with gen-
uine Fruit Sip and chicken salad sand-
wiches, and cookies produceted by the
best cateress of the city. In afternoon
costumes wearing gold colored satin
badges to distinguished them, these gra-
cious hostesses dispensed of and re-
ported more than 1500 guests to this
marvelous repast.
This affair brought together quite
2000 guests who had the rare privilege
of greeting and meeting many of other
‘nomination and getting better ac-
quainted with all. Thus we doff
our hats to Mrs. Scott for this wonderful
idea of fellowship and good will.
The program committee under the
direction of Mrs. Geneva Brown,
brought some of Raleigh’s best musical
talent to please and entertain the au-
dience, :
Our heartiest thanks to each contri-
butor to this splendid program. Our
Washington High School Chorus ranks
with the best in the State. St. Paul’s
Male Chorus made many happy hits in
their spirituals. To St. Augustine Sing-
ers we are very appreciative for their
iels as our pastor and Dr. W. H. Hall
as our presiding elder, And we will
thank him more if he will let both off
them remain with us.
The reports showed that 13 members
had been added to the Church during
the quarter and, $188.99 had been
raised for all purposes.

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. several 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.

On August 15th closed one of its
inast» successful revivals ever, held
here in many years The spirit of the
meeting was indeed high, We can all
say truly the Uoly Spirit was with us.
Our presiding elder Rev. Wallace
Jones, shouted out and declared that
the members needed to hit the sawdust
trail as well as the sinners while this
God sent woman, Sister E. L. Manson
was preaching strong and soul-stir-
ring and appealing sermon, Many came
forward and quite a few accepted Christ
as their personal Saviouur.
On Sunday night Rey. E. D. Manson
‘baptized those who wanted to be bap-
tized at the Altar.
This great woman stirred the entire
Negro section of our town and brought
compliments through | our . weekly
newspaper here. May Gor forever
bless Mrs. E. L. Manson and may her
live long to preach such burning gos-
pel, calling men and women to the fold
of God. How we regret when the time
came to close the meeting.

The Rey. Dr. H. F. Tyree of St. Mat-

M. M. Lewis, presiding. The Presiding
Elder brought a soul stiring sermon at
the morning’ service August 8th, at
which time two persons united with the
church.
The quarterly conference was called
promptly at 8 P. M. Tuesday, August
10th.
All reports were made in quick order.
Of the thirty organizations of the church
every auxiliary had a report.
The Stewards and Trustees report
showed the wonderful strides being
made under the leadership of our most
efficient pastor. The Presiding Elder
was loud in praise of the very fine
spirit of co-operation that exists be-
tween pastor and officers
The members of Zion feel deeply
grateful to God and our Bishop for the
return of our beloved pastor, who not
oniy knows ho wto plan, but how to
carry out his plans successfully. Zion
indeed goes forward
Trustee Board Reports showed a total
raised and spent as follows
Raised this quarter $2,672.70—with a
balance of $17.00 in the treasury.
REV. JOHN L. MIMS
With all obligations as per agreement
paid up to date. Report showed a total
balance of an indebtedness of $64,000. 00,
When Dr. Mims came to us a little
more than a year ago the indebtedness
{was $72,800.00, over $7; 000.00 was paid
on the debt last year.
