out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage; 15 who led thee

fed thee in the wilderness with manna,
which thy fathers knew not; that he
might humble thee, and that he might
prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter
end; 17. and lest thou say in thy heart,
My power and the might of my hand
hath gotten me this wealtn. 18 But
thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God,

get wealth; that he may establish nis
covenant which he sware unto thy

SINO-JAPANESE SHOW

Japan, and China are putting on
a real show of arms and scientilic
murder on a large scale. oa

Italy made a start in Ethiopia.
Japan of Buddha, and Shintoism

too has a manitest destiny to lead

the Leadership Training Institute of _
the 9th Episcopal District, D. H. Sims,
Bishop.

Passing thru Washington it was a
pleasure to call Drs. John R. Hawkins
and C. H. Wesley. Thru Raleigh, North
Carolina there were pleasant memories
of the Religious Education Institute
held at Kittrell a few weeks ago. Came
o mind Bishop M. H. Davis, Drs. Fergu-
son, Avery, Hodges, Grady, McClellan,
Holt, Carnes, and a host who stood by
valiantly and are still in their places.

Greenwood, South Carolina. From the
train the Churchman saw the spire of
Mt. Pisgah, once pastored by Bishop D,
H. Sims, and himself. It is always a
pleasure to pass thru a town where one
once labored in the Master’s vineyard.
Boarding the train was Dr. P. M. Gary,
veteran Presiding Elder of the Green-
wood District, which sent us forth.

Coming into Atlanta the Churchman
saw the towers of Morris Brown where ~
President W. A. Fountain, Jr. is lead-
ing in a splendid program of educational
cooperation and adjustment. As we

AIDS DIGESTION

For several years I have had a “drive’ BLOOD TONIC
to champion the rights of Pulpit shelves’ DIZZINESS
because they are so dreadfully abused

NERVOUSNESS

You see it has been my lot to sit behind
pulpits frequently. Accordingly, T hav
been compelled to see some of the
multitudinous odds and ends that litte
of Pulpit Shelves.

Now since these shelves are by nature
mute, I have arranged with the powers
that be to give them speech just this
once, so here goes for the free speech
of pulpit shelves.

“Dear Pastors, we Pulpit Shelves are
of inaay varieties as to shape, color, and
material. Sometimes you will find us
of simple pine wood, heavy walnut,}
maple, mahogany or marble. A few of
us can boast of a trip across the ocean
becattse you wanted us imported. All
in all we have tried to please you. The
men who made us took extra care be-
cause pulpits are holy places and even
we skelves are mindful of the part we
play in the general schethe of things.

Since palpits are holy and the men
who “pound” them are generally true
and tried we feel that to proportionally
share of that holiness and dignity we
too should be able to stand the acid
test of inspection. But can we? Be it
said to our shame we cannot.

First we should be orderly and clean.
Some one said, “Order is the first law
of Heaven” and “Cleanliness is next to
Godliness.” We believe this. Palpits and
the men who stand behind them are

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 several days his skin be-

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+

Six printed episcopal messages will
be sent out from the episcopal office
per annum as the occasion may require
and the needs demand.

A complete survey of the Episcopal
District by a competent committee, se-
curing expert advice if necessary, is to
be conducted.

The laymen are to be. foreanizell and
encouraged to read the periodicals of
the church. A suggestion. given was to
organize a “Loyalty Clinic” in each
charge.

The Youth Problem represented by
the Church School, the A. C. E. League
and Institute work were discussed, as
well as place and equipment for same.
In reference to this phase of the work,
the plan is three-fold. First, that the
Sunday School System have institute
work organized in equipped centers as
well as the convention and congress
idea of operation. Second, that all-con-
ferences have the same as the district
in an expanded form. Third, that bien-
nially an Episcopal District Congress
and Religious Education School be held,
including all the units of the church.
There shall be appointed an Episcopal
District Religious Education Board of
Directors composed of competent, con-
secrated people who will work in this
field,

Veterans in the ranks of the Presid-
ing Elders and the ministers, some who
have served even in other Episcopal
Districts, and thoroughly familiar with
the: “church covering a period of many
years, said the address with its work-
able program was without parallel com-
ing from a Bishop. The younger men
enthusiastically hailed it as the first
call to arms in a greater battle for right-
eousness and truth joined with the
“old-timers” in praising this worthy son
of Allen,

Opportunity for expressions was
given, not only to the Presiding Elders,
but to the entire assembly, and after
many complimentary remarks, a mo-
tion to approve the program as outlined
by Bishop Sims was unanimously pass-
eda

Rev. L. L. Berry, Secretary of the
Missionary Department; Rev. G. E.
Curry, Manager of the A. M. E. Book
Concern, and Rev. J. G. Robinson,
Editor of the A. M. E. Review, General
Officers in attendance, were introduced
and made brief remarks. Each spoke
well of Bishop Sims and congratulated
the District in having him as the Pre-
siding Bishop, predicting that if it fol-
lowed the program outlined, it was des-
tined to lead the Connection.

of having removed out of the bounds

reluctance the Convention filled the
place by substituting another efficient

man.

Mrs. Pokie Lee Williams won the
contest of the Y. P. D. from the sub-

honor went to Enterprise.

The District Superintendent, Bro. J.

lined to them his plans and method of
approach to the problems that ‘con-
fronted us all.

The first major thought was that of
an Evangelical drive. This was to be
a district wide movement. Linking up
with Rt. Rev. R. C. Ranson, the orator
and scholar of the A. M. E. Church,
he arranged a program under the cap-
tion, “The Preaching ‘Mission.” Be
ginning at Pittsburg, Pa., they spent
one week there preaching, lecturing
and holding seminars and giving coun-
cil to the multitudes. They had as their
associate Bishop H. Y. Tookes, who it
is said, set the city on fire with his
matchless eloquence; and along with
him was the “little wizzard”, and evan-
gelist, Dr. U. S. Robinson. These gen-
tlemen next moved into Cleveland, oO
Here we were told, that the meeting
was even better than it was in Pitts-
burg. Even so, this much is certain i

behold in the city of Chicago, Illinois
Leaving here the missionariés moved
on and into Detroit, Mich., where they
say the real climax was reached.

Doubling back to Chicago, Iil., the
good Bishop sounded the bugle and
collected his soldiers together and
marched on to Evanston, the seat of
the chautuaqua for the Chicago area,

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 publishéd 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.

‘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-
