ing dean of the Arts school said that
one of the great flaws in our educa-
tional system was the effort to “form
our children in our images.” Thus
they are being neglected in adequate
preparation for the problems of our
present society. President Hutchins,
youthful president of the University of
Chicago has recently startled the staid
educational world by a similar but more
drastic criticism.
Naturally we want to make our child-
ren little images of ourselves; whereas
true education should seek to draw out
of each student the latent possibilities
and God-given endowments that are
his. Education that neglects to instill
in the hearts of the youth reverence for
God and due recognition of the moral
purpose of the universe is not worthy
of the name and is absolutely inadequate
for this age.
Prayer: We dcknowledge our fail-
ure in making the world after Thy
Will, Our Father, we pray that the edu-
cation we give our children shall be
more worthy of the name. In Jesus
name.—Amen,

The story is told of the old Indian
Chief who heard the gospel story from
the lips of a missionary and was deep-

he returned with his pony and presented
it as a more costly offering, only to be
told that God wanted more than his
pony. After long deliberation he re-

SOWING TIME
“The seed is the word of God.”—Luke
8:11. Read Luke 8:4-15. :
In this section of the country farmers
and gardners are just beginning to plant
at this writing. A little eight year old
girl was pointing proudly to the first
tiny sprout coming up out of the ground
where she had planted some seed a few
days before. With a look of rapture
she could scarcely contain herself as
she gleefully cried out: “O look, look
how God made my flowers grow.” I
knew then that someone had planted
good seed at some time in her little
heart and I resolved to sow more earn-
estly the seed, the word of God, in
such receptive hearts.
Prayer: Our Heavenly Father,: we
plant thy word in the hearts of the lit-
tle children, knowing that thou wilt
make it grow. Help us this day to sow-
ing bountifully—Amen.

ABOUND IN THIS GRACE
“Se that ye abound in this grace also.”
—11 Cor. 8:7. Read 11 Cor. 8. \
I know of no grace greater than that
of giving. The only direct words of
Jesus quoted by the Apostle Paul were
these: “Remember the Lord Jesus
how he said: ‘It is more blessed to give
than to receive’.” In the above chap-
ter the givers contributed out of “deep
poverty” but notwithstanding had
“abundance of joy” and were rich in
liberality, There is no place» for a
tightwad in the Christian program.
“For if there first be a willing mind,
it is accepted according to that he (a
man) hath, and not according to that
he hath not.”
In times of scarcity the missionary
contribution will not be withdrawn by
a man who abounds in the grace of
giving. The story goes that one morn-|.

foreign missions, Mr, Dives vigorously

Lesson I. JUNE 13
THE BROTHERLY LOVE OF
JUDAH
Lesson Text: Genesis 44:18-34
44:18 Then Judah came near unto
him, and said Oh, my lord, let thy ser-
vant, I pray thee, speak a word in my
jord’s ears, and let not this. anger
burn against thy servant; for thou art
even as Pharaoh. 19 My lord asked
his servants, saying, Have ye a father,
or a brother? 20 And we said unto
_ my lord, We have a father, an old man,
and a child of his old age, a little one;
and his brother is dead, and he alone is
left of his mother; and his father loveth
him, 21 And thou saidst unto thy
servant, Bring him down unto me, that
| may set mine eyes upon him. 22 And
we said unto my lord, The lad cannot
leave his father: for if he should leave
his father, his father would die. 23
\nd thour saidst unto thy servants,
Except your youngest brother come
down with you, ye shall see my face
nomore. 24 And it came to pass when
we came up unto thy servant my father,
we told him the words of my lord. 25
And our father said, Go again, buy us
a little food. 26 And we said. We
cannot go down: if our youngest broth-
er be with us, then will we go down;
for we may not see the man’s face, ex-
cept our youngest brother be with us.
27 And thy servant my father said
unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me
two sons: 28 and the one went out
from me, and I said, Surely he is torn
in pieces; and I have not seen him since:
29 and if ye take this one also from me,
and harm befall him, ye will bring down
my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
30 Now therefore when I come to thy
servant my father, and the lad is not
with us; seeing that his life is bound
up in the lad’s life; 31 it will come to
Pass, when he seeth that the lad is not
with us, that he will die: and thy ser-
vants will bring down the gray hairs of
thy servant our father with sorrow to
Sheol, 32 For thy servant became
surety for the lad unto m# father, say-
ing, If I bring him not unto thee, then
shall I bear the blame to my father for
ever. 33 Now therefore, let thy ser-
vant, I pray thee abide instead of the
lad a bondman to my lord; and let the
lad go up with his brethren. 34 For
how shall I go up to my father, if the
lad be not with me? lest I see the evil
that shall come on my father.
_ GOLDEN TEXT:. Let love of, the
brethren continue—Hebrews 13:1.
AT GRIPS WITH THE LESSON
By Albert Buckner Coe
Since the last lesson Joseph has be-
ome famous. in Egypt. All men in
thi-chiis
that country bowed down to him. The
Seven years of plenty have passed and
grain has been stored in large quanti-
ties. Even in the country north of
Egypt we find Joseph's father, Jacob,
experiencing the famine that is raging
in Egypt. The old man has learned
that under wise leadership in Egypt
there is food enough and to spare. He,
therefore, sends Judah and his other
sons down into Egypt to appeal to the
great conservator of Egypt to send
them food.
Judah and his brothers arrived in
Egypt and go at once to Joseph. They
do not know Joseph, but Joseph recog-
nizes them. Strange emotions course
through Joseph as he beholds the men
who are his blood kin and who sold him
into Egypt. But there is no anger in
him. There is the desire, however, to
deal wisely with them in the light of
their injustice. His great wish is to
see his father and his younger brother,
Benjamin. In order that he may guar-
antee the brothers’ safe return for a
second trip he keeps Simeon as a host-
age that when the brothers come again
they will bring Benjamin along with
them. The brothers go back to their
father and present to him the message
that the ruler of Egypt desires to see
Benjamin, their younger brother. Jacob
reluctantly consents to the departure of
his younger son. Naturally the fear
comes to him that as he lost Joseph he
may lose Benjamin. But in order that
he may spare the life of his other son,
Simeon, he permits Judah to take Ben-
jamin along with him for the second
supply of food.
The placing of the cup in Benjamin’s
sack by Joseph as a means of testing
his own brothers, is familiar biblical his-
tory. Departing from the presence of
Pharaoh with their bags full of grain,
the brothers are accosted by the steward
of Joseph and the cup is discovered in
Benjamin's sack. All of them return
at once to the presence of Pharaoh and
then it is necessary for Judah to plead
for the life of Benjamin.
The pleading of Judah is one of the
beauty spots of the entire Bible. No
doubt through all the years intervening
between the selling of Joseph and that
very day Judah had repented of his act.
He had become softened. He had be-
come a great admirer of his own father.
All of the spiritual development of those
years came forth in his pleading to
Joseph to let him have his youngest
brother back. What pathos is in the
words: “Now, therefore, let thy ser-
vant, I pray thee, abide instead of the
lad, a bondman to my lord, and let the
lad go up with his brethren.”
THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
TO DATE
By John R. Ewers
The story of Joseph in Egypt is one
of the most fascinating in all literature.
We are particularly interested _ this
morning in the behavior of Judah, and
the one lesson which we wish to impress
is that of family unity, or, if you please,
of collective family honor. The Old
South had something to contribute to
the United States in this regard— the
pride of family, the devotion to a family

aunts. America should prize that en-
riching gift to her common life. a
Now, this large family of Jacob was
not always thus. Bitter experience,
grave mistakes, parental sorrow, heavy
adversity among other things had helped
to build into this family the sense and
value of common interest, the place for
mutual consideration, the necessity for
standing together. Angered and hu-
miliated by the upstart Joseph and his
breakfast boastings, Judah had been
one to suggest and carry through the
sale of their brother as a slave. They
had done this ruthless, selfish thing
and had killed a goat and dabbled Jo-
seph’s many-colored coat in the blood
and had carried that coat to their fath-
er with a tale of how his fayorite son
had been slain by a mountain lion. But
let no one think that this sin had rested
lightly upon the souls of those wicked
brothers. The father’s sorrow was un-
expectedly severe. They would have
brought back the lad had it been possi-
ble, Many years of suffering had been
their portion. A thousand time they
had seen the yalue of family solidarity—
father, mother, children tied up togeth-
er in all of the experiences through
which a family is called upon to go. The
cumulation of sickness, of sorrows, of
misunderstanding with their attendant
heart-burnings in the larger family cir-
cle, headed by Jacob, had through the
years drilled the lesson into the minds
of Judah and his brothers that only as
the family stood solidly together, only
as the family as such presented a com-
mon front to the foes, only as all of
the manly members of a given family
shared every happiness and every grief,
could human life go forward in the so-
ciety of which they were part. When
therefore the thin years arrived, the
Patriarch sent his sons to Egypt to buy
grain. There they confronted the Food
Administrator—their long-lost brother,
the one whom they had sold into slay-
ery. They did not know him. In time
he came to know them and to test them,
he required a hostage at their hands—
even the tender, youngest son, Benja-
min.
It was at this point that Judah rose
to the issue. He volunteered to remain
in Egypt, but, for the sake of this aged
father, begged that Benjamin might be
permitted to return home. Then the
great heart of Joseph could hold no
more, tears gushed from his eyes at the
mention of his old father, and he made
Truly
magnificent and magnanimous was Jos-
eph in that hour. He forgave his broth-
ers completely; he loaded them with
grain; he gave himself freely to his
family.
It is this lesson that we must learn,
Families must come back to a fuller
fellowship. Today we see the father
absorbed in his business, the mother us-
ing her fine talents to gain social recog-
nition and each of the children rushing
his own headlong way.' The forces
seem to be all centrifugal. Our fami-
lies are being torn apart rather than
bound together. Sisters and brothers
too often seem to delight in detracting
from one another. Children seem to
exasperate their parents, with little
sense of family honor. The family does
nothing together. There are many
things which we may learn from the

beautiful story of Joseph, but let
not overlook this very important one
family uhity and family honor. i
POINTERS
By Roy L. Smith
No nation can survive the breakdown
of the family.
One has the feeling that Joseph show-
ed a bit more nobility, as a suppliant,
than Joseph did, as a ruler. Every
judge is judged by every prisoner that
comes before him.
It would be interesting to know why
Joseph had never written home to his
father, during all those years.
Nothing will so surely break up a
family circle as contention inside of it.
Little children often suffer for the
sins of older people.
One cannot help wondering what
must have gone on in the mind of little
Benjamin all the while.
Sin always strikes at the sinless.
PRAYER THOUGHT
By William Chalmers Covert
Thou who hast set the solitary in fam-
ilies, we thank Thee for the never fad-
ing beauty and inspiration of this pic-
ture of brotherly love in the act of
overcoming the hurt of long gone years.
We bless Thee for the triumph of love
in, the face of circumstances which
tempted to revenge and just punish-
ment. Let truth shine out from this
memorable episcode of brotherliness in
an age of darkness. May suspicion
and hate, which have clouded with dark-
ness the lives of men and filled their
hearts with fear, give way before a
tidal wave of brotherliness sweeping
irresistibly through the whole earth.
Make the nations of the world, which
are bound together so intimately by
dwell in peace. May they soon learn
the rich and self-protective blessings
of mutual trust and brotherhood. May

General Conference is morally obligated
to make all hew to the line.
All of the leading ministers of the
New York Conference were returned

for African Methodism to simply hold
its ground in the strategic, and metro-
politan centers. It must go forward.
The churchman believes the time has
come for a close study and scrutiny of
the church. Place it beneath the search-
light of investigation. Whatever wrong
is discovered, have courage to attempt
to set it right. Correct mistakes, if
any, and full steam ahead. The church
is more important than any one man

CHINESE ABOLISHING LONG
BURIAL DELAY
Foochow, Fukien Province, China,
May 22 (AP). — The traditional “49
days” between death and removal of
the coffin from a home—once regarded
by the Chinese as necessary for the
Sond luck of the departed soul—soon
will go the way of many other old cus-
current issue.
When will some white conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church invite
a Negro bishop to preside at its annual
session as a demonstration of brother-
hood?
By coincidence, the question was an-
swered before the magazine was off
the press.
The New Hampshire conference of
the church by a vote of 40 to 12, has
requested that a Negro bishop be as-
signed to preside at the next session
when the resident bishop is unable
to preside. All members of the confer-
ence are white.
The action was unprecedented in the
150 year history of American Metho-
dism, and is believed to be inspired by
the growing conviction of church lead-
ers that the church suffers by compari-
son with the aggressiveness champion-
ship of the rights of the Negro people

States and groups under its influence.

THE CHURCH AND MISSIONS
By Mrs. Mary I. Richards
“What are the People Doing For
Missions ?”
The people in this civilized America
and elsewhere are contributing much
to Missions because Missions are the
spreading of the gospel, and there is
no greater task than proclaiming the
story of Jesus to a dark world of sin
Before we make am inyoice of 01
subject we wish to refeshen
thoughts upon Missions. There
spiritual, medical, educational and in-
dustrial Missions, which include a!!
fields of human endeavors. These en-
deavors are fostered by the power 0!
the Holy Spirit. These endeavors have
good motives and principles which give
the good and perfect life to mankind
The Spiritual’ Mission is the great
commission of Jesus Christ, who se:
us to continue his program, and this
Mission is the foundation of all other
Missions.
The Christian program is a Missio!
and we who have professed a hope i
Christ are ever ready to render service
Let us take an inward look upon our-
selves, and ask ourselves “What ar
we doing for Christian training?” And
last but not least what are we doing
for Christian living?”
Education and Christian training ar
the requirements for leaders to intel-
ligently lead souls to the higher heights
of life. Our Schools and Colleges a‘
full of young men and women learnin¢
to render service. Now, what are w¢
doing for them? We must. pay th¢
teachers for imparting to them the right
motives and principles of our mission
ary activities, that they inturn can pay
us for our labor. ;
‘Missionary activities have various m0-
tives. These motives make Christian”

which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped.
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him.

ST. STEPHEN A. M. E. CHURCH,
DETROIT, MICH. CLEARED OF
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR
INDEBTEDNESS
Tuesday night, May 18th was an oc-
cation of much rejoicing for the mem-
bers and friends of St. Stephen A. M.
E. Church when the pastor exhibited a
receipt reading, PAID IN FULL, from
the First National Bank of Detroit.
Ten years when Rey. J. D. Howell came
to us, there was a mortgage indebted-
ness of nineteen thousand five hundred
dollars on the church plus other in-
debtedness, including a parsonage,
which ran the debt up to thirty thous-
and dollars.
The depression gripped us for five
long years and some-what retarded our
program, yet, through prayer and per-
sistency, every dime has been paid and
dear old St. Stephen rejoices in the fact
that after nineteen years, she is free
Not only have we accomplished +he
phenomenal feat of liquidating our in-
debtedness, but have accomplished the
following facts; have built up the larg-
est membership in the Fourth Episco-
pal District (2312 members); the ‘arg-
est Sunday School in the District, one
thousand members; with an average
attendance of six-hundréd, leads the
Fourth Episcopal District in Dollar
Money, one thousand two hundred-eigh-
ty dollars; for eight years have been
compelled to run a noverflow service
(Junior Church) to accomodate the vast
crowd; a unique class system, averag-
ing eighty-five dollars per weck, out
of which the Stewards take care of
their obligations. Since September,
1936, to May 18, 1937, eight thousand
six hundred sixty-one dollars was raised
and placed on the mortgage, completely
wiping it out. We hold that this grand
accomplishment i sone of the virtues
of removing the time limit. riled
i
“To Europe”
Because of the tremendous undertak-
ing that has been accomplished under
the leadership of our pastor, Rev. J. D.
Howell, we, the members of St. Stephen
A. M. E. Church feel, in sending our
pastor to Oxford England to attend the
Conference on Life and Work, is only
one of the ways in which we can ex-
press our admiration and appreciation
for his splendid work.
Rev. Howell has worked assiduously
during his nine years and eight months
with us without even a two weeks vaca-
tion. We only wish it possible for him
to spend two months, insteac of one
month abroad. We know the trip will
not only benefit Rev. Howell, but the
church at large, because of the wealth
of information he will bring to us. May
God ever bless and keep him.

all present. ASK HIM HOW HE
CONDUCTS IT.
Dr. John Adams made exetnsive re-
marks, in which he showed conclusive-
ly, yet consisely, the relation between
the Quarterly, District and Annual Con-
ferences, each dovetailing into the
other. He further briefly discussed the
two sides of religion, viz: The admin-
istrative and interpretative. When he
had finished it was the concensus of
opinion that “we had never heard any-
thing like it.”
Dr. J. Louis Ransom, made a thrilling
address from the subject: “The Lay-
men and the Church.” It goes without
saying that Dr, Ransom, is one of the
best informed men of the A. M. E.
Connection. The Council went on
record, as endorsing the writer for the
high and exalted place of the Bishopric
in 1940, and also Dr. Ransom as Editor
of the Western Christian Recorder at
the same time.
The District Conference, Sunday
School and Allen League Conventions
will meet in Parsons, June 15-17. Great
sessions are anticipated.
At the evening hour beginning at 7:30
speakers were: Dr. J. Louis Ransom,

went away, singing the praises of Dr.

To the Bishop and members of the
86th Session of the New England Con-
ference.
Whereas, the pressure of enemies
within and without, the ever rising
problems of expansion and of perpetuity
of our great Zion, demand an episco-
pacy of strong, intelligent and courag-
cous men.
Whereas, Dr. C. P. Cole by his years
of service without blemish, his demon
strated scholarship and effectiveness as
a Gospel preacher, when he lead us up
the mountain and gave us a bird’s eye
view of the Canaan toward which we
are tending and at the same time kept
our hearts ablaze with the unction of
the Holy Spirit.
Where this Conference gave birth
to this churchman and fitted him
for the kind of ce needed to extend
the Kingdom by
teen years of suffering for the cause,

ce rendered ¢
the church of Allen.
Whereas, Dr. C. P. Cole, is not only
a son of this conference, but an alum-
1us of Lincoln University and of our
own Wilberforce, thereby being satu-
ated with the real spirit of fathers who
would that we stand on our feet as
men.
Resolved, that we as members of this
Conference endorse the candidacy of
‘ole for the sacred office of Bishop
in the Church of Allen in 1940.
ther resolved, that we lend our
hy and influence throughout the
rch to the end that Dr. Cole may
become a member of the greatest epis-
copacy for the advancement of the
ial, economic and religious welfare
of a Zroup.
Resolution passed by the unanimous
vote of the New England Conference
for the endorsement of Dr. C. P. Cole
for the Bishopric in 1940.

By Rev. Thos. J. Brown
Representatives from the Flucker, La., | 4
North, Central and Louisiana Confer-

yesterday with Dr. W. H. Hall, presiding
and drafted resolutions as follows:
Whereas, at the last session of the

Church at New York City, May 1936,
Dr. P. W. Rogers, the presiding elder
of the New Orleans District received
274 votes for the position of Secretary-

received by any of the defeated candi-
dates:
And, whereas. the said office was made.
vacant recently by the unexpected de-
parture of Dr. A. J. Wilson, the sainted
head of the department;
And, Whereas, it has been the cus-
tom for the boards of our church to] %%
fill vacancies arising in the respective
departments during the interval of the
General Conference. To be exact, the
afore-said Dr. A. J. Wilson was elected
by the board with the late Bishop A. L.
Gaines, president, presiding. Also Dr.
L. L. Berry the present Secretary-
Treasurer of our Missionary depart-
ment as well as the manager of our
Book Concern, Dr. G. E. Curry are
creatures of their respective boards and
leading candidates for these depart-
ments ;
And, Whereas, the sentiment of the
church is in favor of the leadership of
the bishops and willing to trust the
bishops’ judgment in all matters affect-
ing the general church;

clusive. The conference opened prompt-
fy at 10 o'clock. The annual sermon
was preached by the writer. All pas-
tors with the exception of two were
present at roll call.
The presiding elder made a speech on
“Going Forward”. He was loud in
up to the present time.
After the elder’s address we had the
roll call. All pastors paid $2.50 per-
sonal dues. All reports were good. Any
pastor would be proud to serve under
such a presiding elder as the Rev G

Annual Address
‘At the evening session, Bishop Ran-
som, president, delivered the annual ad-
dress in which he outlined plans and
purposes of the council and urged the
delegates to return to their several
homes with an enthusiastic determina-
tion to better conditions among our
group.
The full text of Bishop Ransom’s ad-
dress follows :
“The Fraternal Council of Negro
Churches in the United States grew
ly the Negroes of the United States
have nothing but a rod in their hands,
and are not clothed with financial, econ-
omic, or political power. But, on the
basis of righteousness and justice, if
they united under God, they can prevail
against their foes.
“American Christianity will not cross
the color line; it breaks down every
time, when it is faced with the question
of color or race. Since we know this
is true, we should line up behind the
teachings of Jesus Christ, and chal-
lenge those who have appropriated
His name that they either discard it or
follow His command of brotherhood
and love. Jesus said, “The children of
