a plea for the members of the New

other conferences in agreeing to the
appointment of a committee to see after
th expenses of Bishop Heard to attend
the Honorarium on Faith and Order
sometime in the future. A motion to
this effect was made and adopted and
the committee was appointed. After
this the visiting ministers and-general
officers of the church from other dis-
tricts were introduced. Dr. John R.
Hawkins was the first to be introduced
and he praised the work of the A. M.
E. Church for its progress thru the
years. He has served the church for
the past fifty years. He said that the
dollar money had increased at every
conference during this conference year.
In the New England Conference there
was an increase over last year of
$175.00. Dr. Hawkins asked the con-
ference to take due cognizance of the
death of Henry O. Tanner, son of
Bishop Tanner. He was one of the

THE CHURCH EXTENSION
' DEPARTMENT
By E. C. Foreman
The vacancy in the office of Secre-
tary-Treasurer of the Church Exten-
sion Department, caused by the passing
of the late Dr. Wilson, necesitates the
appointing or the election of a succes-
sor. From what “I read in the papers,
there seems to be many aspirants au
candidates, all of whom are exerci
their legitimate rights: To aspire, can-
vas and “run” for office in the A. M. EF.
Church is the inherent right of e
member. However it sometimes hap-
pens that circumstances, conditions ani
precedents dictate the logical succes-
sor, and in such cases the Church is
morally bound to give ear to that voice
which is free from political advantages
and sinister motives; to do otherwise
owrld be to shake the confidence 0!
the membership—replacing confidence
with distrust, and loyalty with indiffer-
ence.
iy the above be true, and doubtless
all will admit it is, the first duty o!
the Church is to find, by examining
circumstances, conditions and prece-
dents, who is the LOGICAL Successe™
of the late Dr. Wilson?
Now, let us examine, briefly, the “cit
ie cumstances.” In the late General Cou
ference at least 274 delegates yoted for
Dr. Rogers. No other candidate re-
ceived as many votes except the lat¢
Dr. Wilson. (This writer heard many
delegates say: “Lets give it to Wilso”

the true greatness of Joseph seems to
shine out in the steadiness with which
he took over power. Any man who
can be patient in tribulation, steady in

in prosperity must be a great soul,
It is as if he seemed assured all of the
time of his real worth, as though he
knew all the time that success was
bound to crown such character and such
talent. There are men like that—quiet,
assured, steady souls. Nothing seems
able to keep them down and no honor

A small man would kave held resent-

Someone has said that the family is

statement. We may look

all the years that have intervened the

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
TO DATE
Join The Christian Recorder Family
By John R. Ewers
It is fortunate for the house of Israel
that the family of Jacob learned well
the lesson of family consideration and
consolidation, for look what resulted.
The lean years were far from over
when Joseph met his brothers, and to
save his family it seemed wise to bring
Jacob and all the wives and children
down into Egypt.. Having high favor
at court because of his mighty genius in
providing against the days of depres-
sion, it was easy for Joseph to secure a
concession for his family. In one of
the most fertile side-valleys of the Nile
lay the sun-kissed, river-watered land

W. Rogers at that General Conference.
He was second to the (late) Dr. A. J.

There seems a general disposition

Constitution, that no Senator nor Rep-

term for which he was elected, be ap-
