Was not Alexander Hamilton a

And thru a century and a half
of organised democracy the Ne-

sutution, and the government. We
have not forgotten the war of 1812
and how in 1816 we were the
balance of power that saved the
union from those who sought to
destroy it. We remember how we
went to France and fought to
preserve the ideals of democracy
vouchsaft in the constitution, and
were humiliated upon our return

The spotlight of attention was fo-
cused on the masterly sermon deliver-
ed eloquently and with a sympathetic
fecling by Bishop Fountain who select-
ed his text from the book of Judges,
the 19th chapter and the Ist clause
of the 16th verse, “And, behold there
came an old man from his work out
of the field at even.”
In his euology, the Bishop, likened
Bishop Heard passing at the ripe old
age of 87 years, as “an old man from
his work out of the field at even”
old age is the result of a well spent
going home. He said the ‘reward of
youth. for to know how to grow old
is the masterpiece of living, stating
further, that it is a great blessing to
be buried at a great uge, referring to
old Patriarch and then quoting from
Beecher, “Death is but the droping of
the flower that the fruit might bloom.”
Depicting the world as a field of
activity and the death of am old man
as one who comes out of it, Bishop
Fountain said Bishop Heard — had,
fought the good fight and finished his
course. He referred to an often re-
peated phrase of the deceased, who
would quote the scripture verse, “O
taste his sermon,’ said he; no environ-
and then say, ‘a preacher ought to
taste his sermon,’ Said he; no envior-
‘ment can hold a man down; but
that a man is master of the environ-
“ment; was «true of the departed

FUNERAL SERVICES OF BISHOP
HEARD (Continued)
The culmination of 57 years of active
service was as a death blow to the
nation, to the race and to the church,
for that long service had been a con-
structive influence to the race said the
euologist in that the deceased had been
no ordinary man. He had been a friend
to Education and the Book Concern
Department, its magnificent building
and its present increasing usefulness
were living monuments to his labors
in the field of activity.
Concluding, Bishop Fountain said, in
his passing Bishop Heard came in from
the field of activity as an extraordinary
citizen, an industrious man, rich in
ministerial labors, a loyal Christian
battle scared hero and soldier.

THE FINAL RITES OF BISHOP
WILLIAM HENRY HEARD
Bishop W. A. Fountain
“Behold there came an old man from
his work out of the field at Even.
— Judges 19:16
There’s but one morn to each new day;
One busy noon; one evening hour ;
One sun to give its transient light;
One moon to charm the restful night.
There’s but one faith for each new soul;
One Holy God and Saviour, too;
One hope to point with sanguine ray;
One loye to cheer life’s roughened way.
There’s but one cup of happiness;
One truth; one benediction high;
One all-pervyading sense of rest;
One holy consecrated quest.
There’s just one life: ’twould failure be
To say these things are not for me.
—Arthur B. Dewberry!
The pulpiteer Talmadge said on one
occasion :
When the soul is required it must be
resigned. We can not delay His coming
or dispute it, by arms or argument. It
can not fly out of the jurisdiction of
death, nor find any place where it war-
rents may not be served. It can not ab-
sounds so as to escape death’s eye. It
Cannot adjourn the day of death, It
cannot by prayers or bribes obtain a re-
prieve. No bail will be taken, no excuse,
no protection, no importance or respite
allowed, The prince with his power ; the
physician with his medicine; the sol-
dier with his military skill; the orator
with his eloquence—all must be resigned
to this great monster. These are con-
soling words—Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from hénceforth;
yea saith the spirit that they rest from
their labors and their works do follow
them. Rey. 14:13.
We must all enter the list with death
sooner or later. There is no discharge.
While we live we are struggling with
death, we can not put off the body, death
must master us before the discharge
comes. Death is a battle that must be
fought. One of the fathers has said‘
“There is but this difference between an
death, and death comes to the young.”
old man and young; that old men go to
This world is a great field of activity.
Bishop William Henry Heard was an
old man, and well known in the African
Methodist Episcopal Church and Nation.
As a minister of the gospel—he was
eloquent, persuasive, sympathetic and
“My friends I hope you do not call’ convincing. He was an acceptable and
that death. That is an autumnal sun-
set, that is a crystalline river pouring in-
toa crystal sea. That is a solo of human
life overpowered by the Hallelujah
chorus. That is a queen’s coronation.
That is Heaven. That is the way my
father stood at eighty-two, seeing my
mother depart at seventy-nine. Perhaps,
so your father and mother went. I won-
der if we will die as well.”
An old man who has lived in the exer-
cise of virtue, looking back without a
blush on his past days, and pointing to
that better state, where alone he can be
perfectly rewarded, is a figure most
venerable that can be imagined
—McKenzie.
A comfortable old age is the reward
of a well spent youth; instead of its in-°
troducing dismal and melancholy pro-'
spects of decay, it should give us hopes
of eternal youth in a better world—Pal-
mer.
To know how to grow old is the mas-
ter work of wisdom, and one of the
most difficult chapters in the great art
of living—Amiel.
We hope to grow old, yet we fear old
age; that is, we are willing to live and
afraid to die—Bougere.
Bishop Thomas Ken gave vent to this
expression :
“Teach me to live, that I may dread,
The grave as little as my bed:
Teach me to die, that so I may,
Rise glorious at judgment day.”
It is a great blessing to be buried in
a good old age. Abraham, Gideon, and
David died in a great old age. That
great preacher, Henry Ward Beecher
said: “Death is but the dropping of the
flower that the fruit may swell.”
“There is no man that hath power over
the spirit; neither hath he power in the
day of death; and there is no discharge
in that war; neither shall wickeness de-
liver those that are given it.”—-Solomon.
constructive pastor.
As a Bishop—he served his great
church acceptable in Africa and Ameri-
ca and ably represented his church and
race in the select Ecclesiastical councils
of the world. He was an able parlia-
mentarian, great debator and never
feared to take a stand.
As a write—he was clear and force-
ful. He selected the caption of the
Sainted Bishop Grant “Notes By The
Way,” and kept the church informed of
its progress and his labours. He always
had the courage of his convictions.
The passing of Bishop William Henry
Heard from the life of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church was a se-
vere blow to our race and humanity.
His brilliant leadership and unselfish
service to the Church and nation made
ality in Europe, Africa, and America
He was excellently prepared by training
and experience to gracefully wear the
mantle of a Christian Statesman and
an able pulpiteer. :
He was one of the most beloved lead-
“ers of the race, a constructive influence
in the religious world.
Our friend, Bishop William Henry
Heard was no ordinary man. Early in
life his thirst for knowledge led him to
Atlanta University and South Carolina
tate University. He was a friend to edu-
cation and a staunch supporter of Wil-
berforce University. He was a construc-
tive force in directing the A. M. E. Book
Concern to its present increasing use-
fulness. He could make and hold friends.
To know him was to love and admire
him.
The A. M. E. Church and the race
are richer today because of the life,
service and labors of William Henry
Heard. _
Truly this grand old man lives, and
moves and encourages our hearts still.
A great father and prince and Christian
hero has fallen this day in Israel.
He comes in from the field as an ex-
emplory citizen, industrious and honest
—having served his day and generation.
He comes in from the field as mar-
velously rich in ministerial labors. He
was prolific in preaching the gospel,
saving souls, planting churches and
spreading our Zion.
He comes from the field as a loyal
Christian battle-scarred soldier, having
run his race, fought a good fight and
ept the faith—I believe he would say to-
day if he could speak:
“I have done my work
I've sung my song,
I’ve done some good,
I’ve done some wrong,
Now I shall go,
Where I belong,
The Lord hath willed it so.”
Bishop William Henry Heard labor-
ing under the weight of 87 years, with
weighty responsibilities, having been
faithful as a husband, father, friend,
pastor, preacher, presiding Elder, Gen-
etal Officer represented his country as
minister to Africa, just got tired and
home-sick and said to onr Heavenly
?ather—I welcome your coming—I glad-
ly go with Thee—and then the angel
whispered and said: “Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from hence-
forth; yea, saith the spirit that they rest
from their labors for their works follow
them.”
’God calls our loved ones, but we
Lose now wholly,
What he hath given,
They live on earth, in thought and
deed,
716 S. 19th Street
As truly as His Heaven’
I wonder sometimes is the church
placing too much stress upon the ‘here
and now,” and too little upon the here-
after?
To Mrs. Valeria Caldwell Williams:
You have been faithful to your uncle un-
to death. Your fidelity and constant
companionship was his great source of
pleasure.
We shall sleep but not forever;
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no never;
On the resurrection morn.

MY RELIGION
A personal exposition by the
first lady of present China
Madame Chiang Kai-shek
By Nature I am not a religious per-
son. At least not in the common accep-
tance of that term. I am not by nature a
mystic. I am practical minded. Mundane
things have meant much to me, perhaps
too much. Mundane, not material things.
I care more for a beautiful celadon vase
than for costly jewels. I am more dis-
turbed as I traverse the crowded, dirty
streets of an interior city than I am by
the hazards of flying with poor visibility,
which my husband and I experienced on
a trip the other day.
Personal danger means nothing to
me. But I am concerned that my schools
for the children of the revolutionary
heroes shall raise for them, and perhaps
for the communities to which they re-
turn, the standard of living and the
quality of life.
I knew my mother lived véry close to
God. I recognize something great in her.
And I believe that my childhood train-
ing influenced‘ me greatly even though
I was more or less rebellious at the time.
It must often have grieved my beloved
mother that I found family prayers tire-
some and frequently found myself con-
veniently thirsty at the moment, so that
I had to slip out of the room. Like my
brothers and sisters, I always had to
go to church and I hated the long ser-
mons. But today I feel that this church-
going habit established something, a
kind of stability, for which I am grate-
ful to my parents. :
My mother was not a sentimental par-
ent. In many ways she was Spartan. But
one of my strongest childhood impres-
sions is of Mother going to a room she
kept for the purpose on the third floor
to pray. She spent hours in prayer, often
beginning before dawn. When we asked
her advice about anything, she would
say, “I must ask God first.” And we
could not hurry her. Asking God was not
a matter of spending five minutes to
ask Him to bless her child and grant the
request. It meant waiting upon God until

ading. And I must say that
Mother prayed and trusted
God for her decision, the undertaking
invariably turned out well.
Perhaps this is why I sometimes think
that I have grown spiritually because
Mother was taken from me. Or to be
perfectly honest, I sometimes think
perhaps God took Mother from her
children in order that we might grow.
As long as Mother lived I had a feeling
that whatever I did, or failed to do,
Mother would pray me through. Though
she insisted that she was not our inter-
cessor, that we must pray ourselves,
yet I know for a certainty that many of
her long hours of prayer were spent
interceding for us. Perhaps it is because
religion in my mind is associated with
such a mother that I have never been
able to turn from it entirely.
On day I was talking with my mother
about the imminent Japanese menance,
and I suddenly cried out in irresistible
intensity of feeling: 3
“Mother, you’re so powerful in prayer,
why don’t you pray that God will annihi-
late Japan—by an earthquake or some-
thing?”
She turned her face away for a time.
Then looking gravely at me:she said:
“When you pray, or expect me to pray,
don’t insult God’s intelligence by asking
Him todo something which would be
unworthy even of you, a mortal!”
That made a deep impression on me.
\nd today I can pray for the Japanese
people, knowing that there must be
many who, like Kagawa, suffer because
of what their country is doing to China.
During the last seven years I have suf-
fered much. I have gone through deep
waters because of the chaotic conditions
in China, the lopping off of our richest
provinces, the - death of my saintly.
mother, flood, famine, and the intrigues
of those who should have been helping
to unify the country. All these things
have made me see my own inadequacy;
more than that, all human insufficiency.
To try to do anything for the country
seemed like trying to put out a great
conflagration with a cup of water.
In conclusion, with me religion is a
very simple thing. It means to try with
all my heart and soul and strength and
mind to do the will of God. I feel that
God has given me a work to do for
China. In this province of Kiangsi
thousands of fertile rice fields are now
devastated ruins, and hundreds of thou-
sands of families have been render-
ed homeless. This Communist-bandit
situation in some of the provinces of
China has grown increasingly menancing
in the last five years. The bandits’ open-
ly avowed hatred for law and order
forces the government to suppress them.
But military occupation of retaken terri-
tory will not be enough. Rural rehabilita-
tion must follow, helping the farmers
back to their land and to better con-
ditions of life,
This is no small task. In fact, China’s
problem in some ways are greater
today than ever before. But despondency
and despair are not mine today. I look
to Him who is able to do all things, even
more than we ask or think. At this time
of writing I am with my husband in the
heart of the bandit area. Constantly ex-
posed to danger, I :m unafraid. I know
that nothing can happen either to the
General or to me till our work is done.
After that, what does it matter?

ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH
Cleveland, Ohio
The Fourth quarterly conference of
St. James A. M. E. Church was held
August 29-30, with Dr. T. D. Scott, P.E.,
presiding.
He brought to us inspiring messages
both morning and evening on the
Sabbath.
The Christian demeanor and simplici-
ty of approach to his subject and people
make Dr. Scott always a welcome visitor
to this field of labor.
The business session of the con-
ference convened at 8:30 p.m., Monday
August 30 Rev. Joseph Gomez, minister
in charge, was with his society well
organized, with written reports from the
various auxiliaries. The work showed
that of a master.
The reports disclosed to-date number
of accessions 120; Conversion, 43;
Baptized, 23; Probations, 19; Marriages,
12; Subscribers to the church Periodic-
als, 9 Money collected from all sources,
| $15,367.32.
The presiding elder was well pleased
and expressed his approval of the work
done and commended both pastor and
people on the way they had cooperated
and the cordiality with which he had
been received, not as a stranger on his
first mission but as one of them.
A motion prevailed commissioning
the presiding elder to use his influence
to return the present minister, Dr.
Joseph Gomez, whose pastorial care,
labor, and godly life had inspired this
congregation.
A rising vote of thanks was given
given Dr. T. D. Scott for the kindly
way he had labored as a brother and
friend among us.
’ The conference, after singing “Blest
Be The Tie That Binds Etc.” Repeating
of the Mizpah closed a glorious quar-
ter.

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,

pastorate of Emmanuel,. Dr. Brogden
convened at St
November 1936, senior
Flipper,
and his family came to us with amicable
attitude. Since his coming, much has
been accomplished. His first herculean
| job was the beautifying of the interior
and installation of a modern heating
plant which was very much needed to
replace the antique system. The favor
of the people was won and much in-
terest was demonstrated. The entire
lower floor was painted by the male
constituents of the church and some
| painting was done in the main auditor-
ium also. The females did their part in
sweeping, dusting and polishing, The

cooperation for which he heartily
BROGDEN,

thanked the membership. It is nov
about ten months since the last annua
conference and a great program has
been carried out thus far,
The spiritual side is on the upward
trend. The church is alive and the re-
ligious activities are great. Wonderful
sermons are being preached by the
pastor. Revivals were held in whic)
many souls have been saved. The spirit-
ual side is very important and_ th:
pastor is deeply concerned relative to
this, The family of the pastor, his wife
and three daughters are always read)
and willing to do their bit. During
school vacation, Misses Julia Mae, 4
recent graduate of Allen University;
Sadie and Christine were working iv!
the Sunday school, League, junior and
senior choirs. Recently during the ab+
sence of the organist Miss A. E. Moore
of our junior choir, Miss Julia Mae
served. She left the city a few days ag”
for Union, S. C., where she has accepte!
the position of teacher in the schoo
there.
The membership of Emmanuel
very much pleased to have Dr. Brogde
and the pastor is likewise glad to bq
with us.

He quoted his text from the Epistle of

Rejoice.” The Preacher treated his

FIRST EPISCOPAL DISTRICT
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
Concern obligations. This is a
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
Branch Executive Board of the
Women’s Parent Mite Missionary
Society to meet in special session.
Yours faithfully,
D. H. SIMS, Bishop
Here am I, send me, send me.”
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-
mantic experiences in his own ‘Africa,
from Sierra Leone, Liberia, French
Iyory Coast, Gold Coast, Nigeria and
other-remote spheres in the old con-
tinent purposely to supplant the age-
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
home a new spirit a new home as testi-
fied from the lips of high and low that
the preacher is indeed another celebrity
and a true coming leader of his people
across the oppressive borders of Egypt
to the liberty land of Canaan and would
that we had the supernatural power to
withold the regular rotating hours of
the night as a standstill thus to enjoy
the man and his message of healing and
consolation. The excited crowd joyfully
| retired but late in the night from the
_jehurch and grounds and after some
“| warmest greetings and glowing tributes
rendered to Dr. Campbell who departed
from us with imperishable memory back
to his home once more and happy greet-
ings for the Season,

on Sunday and the services all day
evidenced spiritual revival. The con-

attended. Rev. Napper was very
pleased with the reports of the various
departments and organizations. He
commented on the same, and asked
God's continued blessings on the work

during the ouarter cast a shadow on
the meeting, but we bow to the will of
