Bishop Greene had made a mistake.
The man he had proposed for the com-

He attended the last conference, it
1927, at Lausanne.
“I may be beyond 90 when I attend
the next conference,” he told a Scot

Since thee 1927 conference he ha
attended yearly meetings in various

Dr. Temple in his presidential ad

To the Bishops and General

The Shrine Civie Auditorium of Los
Angeles is where the National baptist
Convention convenes September 8. This
is the place we propose to hold the

This Shrine Auditorium is without
question, finer and more convenient
than any place our General Conference
has ever met.
In addition to discription seen in
the inclosed matter, there is a large,
well furnished parlor where the bishops
meetings may be held and a pri
suite of rooms for each bishop, with
rest room, office and wash

PECULIAR USAGES OF
AFRICAN METHODISM
According to Bishop Turner
“Some of the peculiar usages of
African Methodism are the Itiner-
acy, the Class Meeting and the
Love Feast.” From this point of
view it is clearly seen to-what ex-
tent we have drifted. The Itiner-
acy in many instances is a mis-
nomer. Congregations make ap-
pointments, and preachers refuse
or grumble to go when appointec
to charges. The bishop’s hardest
task is to assign ministers accord-
ing to their Godly Judgment. A
preacher does not mind going
where sent provided he believes
the bishop sent him. The minis-
try is too sacred to be dominated
by “kitchen cabinets,” or subtle
influences behind the episcopal
seat bent upon retaliation,
A good guess is that three-
d
fourths of African Methodist
members never attend Class-
Meetings. By actions they say
they do not believe in them. Some
ministers, t!xemselves, pay little or
no attention to class. No Class
Leader should have a class of
from fifty to a hundred members.
And the Love Feast is out of the
question. Once it was a means of
preparation for the Holy Com-
munion, The Book Concern has
no need in these times to even
print Love Feast Tickets.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED
This is the argument of the
present-day sophisticate. The
modern machine age has radically
upset the old staid family life and
the social order in general. There
is no time for the old methods and
modes of worship. The same God
is back of the world who was there
when he laid the foundation of the
earth amid the sining of the
morning stars and the joyful

shouts of His sons. Jesus is still
the way of life, the hope of the
world. The problem of evil, and
the fact of sin remain. Picture a
new-fashioned man in an old
fashioned world that moves with
the same speed and precision as it
did millions of alons ago.

WARD CHAPEL A M. E. CHURCH
Winter Park, Florida
The third Quarterly Conference of
Ward Chapel A. M. E, Church, Winter
Park, Florida of which Rev. James
Murray is pastor was held on the 6th
and 8th of August, 1937. Rev. J. A.
Brown conducted a very inspiring
District presiding.

quarterly meeting, after the regular
opening of the meeting he immediately,
went into business which was handled
in a very intelligent and religious way.
All auxilliaries reported nicely with an
increase of 20 converts and 5 accessions.
One death, Brother Freeman Hender-
son, to our sorrow. The Presiding Elder
made some yery encouraging remarks
praising this church and its work
spiritually and prevailing with the entire
membership to get more of Jesus and
His Salvation.
Sunday August 8th. Sunday School
opened in its usual way at 9:30, A. M.
Mr. P. A. Duhart, Supt., Mrs. R. S-
Jackson asst. supt. The lesson was fully
discussed by the students, officers,
pastor and presiding elder
At 11: A. M. Our efficient Pastor,
Rey. James Murray, presented the
Presiding Elder, Rev. J. A. Brown to
his congregation. He delivered such an
impressive sermon. We all felt good
and knew the sacred fire was revived
within us. At 8:15, P. M. Rey. J. A.
Brown came to us with another burn-
ing message. His text was: “Lay up
for Yourselves treasures in Heaven.”
His subject: “Personal Security”.
Nothing but a man of God could hold
his congregation spell-bound as our
Presiding Elder did on this subject. He
made it very plain to us. Rev. J. A.
Brown has but few equals when it
comes to the knowledge of the Christ-
ian Church and its government. The
quarter ended by -raising $221.05 for
the Pastor. Raised for Presiding Elder
$31.18. Total raised for quarter $474.06.
Mrs. Brown the lovable wife of our
Presiding Elder always closes the
quarter with her mother like-scolding
to her sisters and praises and thank-
fulness of the spiritual way the church
is leading on. May the Lord bless the

ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH
Owensboro, Kentucky
The fourth quarterly conference of
St. Paul A. M. E. Church convened
Monday night, with Rev. B. M. Hughes,
Presiding Elder in charge.
The roll was called and the members
responded with dues. The questionaire
was asked by Rey. Hughes and snswer-
ed by the pastor, Rev. Tyson. Four per-
sons have been received into full mem-
bership since the last quarter, under
the leadership of Rev. Tyson. Two
members have deceased: Brother Al-
bert McCarthy and Will Jackson, Re-
ports of the various church organiza-
tions were -read and adopted. Total
amount of money raised this quarter
was $137.93 since the arrival of Rey.
Tyson.
This conference was very largely at-
tended. The church thanks the Presid-
ing Elder and Bishop for sending us a
worthy minister as Rev. Tyson. The
church unanimously asked for his re-
turn. We feel that under his leadership,
much good work can be done and St.
Paul A. M. E. Church will come back
to her rightful place.
Following the conference a program
was rendered. The church was beauti-
fully decorated. Rev. Hughes was pre-
sented a gift for his untiring services
by Mrs. Rosa Pope, President of the
reach the mark of the high calling, With
our_able and efficient pastor as our
leader,
TABITHA RAY
A. C. E. League. Dr. B. M. Hughes,
the princely Presiding Elder, of the
Louisville District A. M. E. Church,
was at his best and more eloquent than
ever. We feel that we voice the senti-
ment of all persons present when we
say that Dr. Hughes is a wonderful
Presiding Elder and a great man.
The two Stewardess’ Boards assisted
by other members and officers of the
church gave a splendid banquet honor-
ing the pastor and Rey. Hughes. This
was truly the greatest quarterly con-
ference experienced by St. Paul A. M.
E. Church in many years.
