UNDAY SCHOOL UNION BOARD
REFUSES TO AMEND
-CHARTER

By E. A. Selby and C. W. Abington

\gain and again the Church has been
told that the way to settle the Sunday
School Union controversy was to have
the Charter amended. Yes, and accord-
jng to the words of the chairman of the
Board and the former Secretary-Treas-
urer, the Church has been neglectful
of its duty in that respect.

\t the last General Conference which
met in New York, a Committee on Legal
Charters and Titles was elected from
the conference floor, to investigate all

the charters and titles of the various
Departments and educational institu-
tions. ‘The committee -was given au-
thority to examine and make recom-
idations to the Bishop’s Council, in
view to revising or amending — such
charters and titles as were not under
the complete control and jurisdiction
of the General Conference of the Af-
rican Methodist Episcopal Church.
may be well for you to know that
this committee has held meetings in
Washington, Nashville and Charleston,
ith Carolina, and at the same time
gathered the documents which have
enabled them to examine the titles and
charters of all Departments and cdu-

cational institutions, and made recom-
mendations to the Bishops’ Council tor
such changes as it deemed necessary

ive the Church absolute control of
its holdings. The recommendations
were adopted by the Bishops’ Council
meeting in Charleston, South Carolina
in February, 1937.

Among the . recommendations —sub-
mitted an amendment to the Charter
of the Sunday School Union to the
Bishops in council, and the same was
unanimously approved. The Connec-
tional Council and the Committee on
Charters designated attorney, Herbert
L. Dudley, secretary of the committee
lo present the amended Charter at the
annual meeting of the Board of Con-
trol of the Sunday School Union at
Nashville, Tennessee. Due to illness
of the chairman, the Board did not
hold its meeting at the regular time, on
r about the 15th of April. It conven-
ed on June 8th, in the Sunday School
Union Building, with all members of
the Board present, excepting the Rev.
M. S. Bryant.

Attorney Dudley was present, repre-
senting the Connectional Council and
the Committee on Legal Charters and
Titles. There were also Bishops G. B.

were in attendance.

Whatever question that might have

After completion of the formal open-|been in the minds of the members of
ing, Bishop Flipper brought to the at- the African Methodist Episcopal

tention of the Board the matter of
amending the Charter. At this point,
the former Secretary -of the Sunday
Schoot Union took the floor, and for
nearly an hour bitterly denounced and
viciously.attacked the Bishops, General
Officers and other leaders of the Church
In the course of his tirade, he charged
the representative of the Charter Com-
mittee, Attorney Dudley, as being the
pupet of unscrupulous leaders in the
Church. He declared in the course of
the onslaught that the election in New
York was a farce and nothing that was
done there would~stand the acid test
He goes further to state that had he
been concerned about his election, he
could have bought the General Confer-
ence for three hundred dollars, as such
was its composition. Many of his
friends suggested that this be done,
according to the speaker, but he stead-
fastly refused to spend a dime. When
Bryant finally yielded the floor, the
chairman had the amendment ,.read by
the secretary of the Board, after which
Attorney Dudley was given the oppor-
tunity to speak on behalf of the Char-
ter Amendment.

Before speaking of the Charter, At-
torney Dudley stated that-in the en-
tire history of his existences as a law-
yer, he had never been so cowardly and
yiciously attacked as he had been by
Bryant, and said frankly that all the
former Secretary-Treasurer had said
in referring to him was absolutely false
and without foundation. Attorney
Dudley then explained the purpose and
object of the amendment.

The chairman, Bishop Flipper, stated
to the Board that he favored the adop-
tion of the amendment, but that it was
optional with the Board to adopt o1
reject. And that the adoption of the
amendment would not materially
change the status of the Sunday School
Union, as nothing that was done would
be affective before the 1940 General
Conference. A motion to lay it on the
table was overruled by the chairman. |

Church as to the condition of the Sun-
day School Union property, this act
on the part of the chairman ond Board
of Managers give conclusive proof of
their intention to forever deprive the
Church not only of the right to con-
trol, but of the property itself through
carefully devised schemes and trickery.
The Church might as well face the
facts if it is even to come in possession
of the property it was supposed to have
for which its holdings ©n Public Square
were sold, it might as well prepare to
fight for it to the last ditch. It was
clearly ‘evident from the attitude of
the chairman and Board of Control
that it is up to the Church.

THE SESQUICENTENNIAL

By Rev. A. H. Harris

There will be perhaps more than
20,000 persons who will attend the gi-
gantic, Historic Sextuple Conclave in
Memphis, Tenn., June 22-27, 1937. It
will perhaps be the greatest event in
the history of the A. M. E. Church.
It will carry as great or greater num-
ber of Methodists and visitors as our
usual sessions of the General Confer-
ences, which draws on the members
of our race from all sections of the
United States, Isles of the Seas and
foreign lands.

The A, M. E. Church is not doing
more in the world than is expected by
being the first Negro denomination. to
plan a Sesquicentennial Celebration. It
has ever been the first of the Negro
organized Religious bodies to plan and
do great things, especially, in trying to
advance the Negro forward in the
world in order to occupy his rightful
place as a civilized race, and measure
arms with other races in the world that
are making a contribution and pre-
paring for the unborn generations by
leaving them a great heritage.

The A. M. E. Church is a gift of God,
especially, to the Negro race. Its mis-

sion is similar to that of Moses: to
bring the people out of bondage, super-
stition and folly.

Statistics and records show that the
A. M. E. Church possesses a large per-
centage of the Negro brain in the
world today, and some of our race’s
best prepared men will serve in the
coming Susquicentennial to make it a
great one. Plans are well in operation
now to give to the world one of the
finest, most helpful and most interest-
ing religious celebrations ever promoted
among Negroes.

The great host will begin pouring
into Memphis on Sunday, June 20;
both young and old, in trains, buses and
automobiles, electric cars, buses and
automobiles will be available at all
train stations, depots to transport the
thousands to the headquarters at
Avery Chapel A. M. E. Church, Dr.
D. L. Witherspoon, pastor, and St.
Andrews, A. M. E. Church, Dr. J. W.
Hall, Pastor, and Memphis is prepared
in a big way to care for all who will
attend and will give welcome, comfort,
service and all to make your stay a
pleasant one. i

The Gigantic, Historic Sextuple Con-
clave will begin June 22, 1937 in Mem-
phis, Tenn., and will close June 27,

cord the proceedings

“This power is something distinct
from and superior to all forms of hu-
man power that may be in the pulpit,
and which may give it influence. This
power is not the force of a mighty in-
tellect, holding in its giant grasp great
truths, flooding them with light and
forming them into shapeliness and
beauty. Neither is this power the ef-
feet of a great learning; neither is it
the result of an address faultless and
complete by ruel. This power is not
held in the keeping of any of these
earthly sources of power. The effect

and energy of these forces are essen-
tially different in source, character,
and result from this power on high.”

Prayer thought: “Take time to be
holy, Speak oft with thy Lord; Abide
in Flim always, And feed on His Word.
Make friends of God's children; Help
those who are weak; Forgetting in
nothing His blessing to seek.

“The preachers of the present day
excel those of the past in many, per-

cess. They are well abreast of the age
in learning, in profound research and
intellectual vigor; but the presence of
these do not insure the gift of power

commanding and impressive form in

added and full endowment of the Holy
Ghost. Modern preaching seems to
fail in the very thing that creates and
distinguishes true preaching, and which
is essential to its being, and which only
can elevate it into a divine and power-
fully aggressive agency. It lacks the
heavenly unction; it fails as the chan-

thunder on consciences.”

RISTIAN RECO

through the Old Testament until the
day of his writing. It 1s a great galaxy
of biblical heroes. Unodubtedly the
most important truth in the book of
Generis is that of faith. But there are
other truths. Let me enumerate them.

The first chapter of Genesis reveals
the truth that poetry is greater than
prose. In this lovely description of the
origin of the world we have not strictly
a description, but a great song. The
first part of Genesis is the song of cre-
ation, with seven verses and seven re-
frains. “The evening and the morning
were the first day, or second day or
third” is the refrain.

Again we have the important truth
given us in the book of Genesis that
defeat may always be turned into vic-
tory. Those who came later in the
Bible stories and those who came later
in life have realized the truth of this
statement. The story of Noah and the
ark is an example. I have in my pos-
session a book written not yesterday
but one hundred and ninety-mne years
ago. It is entitled, “An Ark for All
God’s Noahs. It is a book of sermons
written by Thomas Brooks, preacher in
Glascow, 1738. The thought of turning
defeat into victory was true in the time
of the writing of this little book as it
was true in the time of the writing of
the book of Genesis.

Another major truth in the bock of
Genesis is that man has been exposed
to the possibility of sin from the early
days. Out of that suggestion comes
this one made by a great American phi-
losopher, that this is not the best pos-
sible world, but it is the best kind of a
world in whieh to develop character.
And this statement of the philosopher
has made following the cry of many
people: Why is there evil in the world
Why does sorrow come to those who
seemingly least deserve it? There is no
satisfactory answer to that question
other than this, that the ultimate for all
of us is character and our characters
best strengthened by being broken at
times upon the rock of evil.

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN

TO DATE
By John R. Ewers

There are few passages in the Bible
there are few sentences in all the liter-
ature which I have ever read which stir
me as those majestic, sweeping words in
the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, con-
cerning the faith of the Old Testament
worthies. We have been studying these
imperfect men at close range, and we
have found many things in their lives
which we could not endorse. At times
Isaac and Noah and Jacob seemed more
valuable as warnings than in any other

‘apacity. .

; Yet this writer of the book of He-
brews, devoted to his people, lover of
the Israelitish soul, breaks forth in
peans of praise for the fathers of the
dim past. He is touched by their fidel-
ity to the one living God, by their heroic
struggles, by their willingness to fol-
Jow even into unknown paths, and by
the vast contribution which their collec-
tive fidelity produced. Then a certain
tender sympathy for them leads him to

a }
observe that these all died not haviing
received the promises, but only having

seen and greeted them from afar.

It is for us, the heirs of all the ages,
to fulfill all of their strivings, to finish
their work, to complete their dreams by
glorious realities. It becomes a mighty
motive. It is as if my fathers had be-
gun an estate—while, for me, may be
reserved the completion of the castle
tower. It is as if my father had begun
a book, for which I may make the last
researches and write the fine closing
words. What an honor—to help com-
plete the works of the fathers.

The writer of the Hebrews loved his
people and he felt the uplifting incen-
tive to finish what they had begun. It
is altogether noble. They lived so long
ago, but they had so little to inspire
them. Their very faith, under their
limitations, becomes their glory. They
are transformed by their devotion to
God. It was a dim, star-lit age—with-
out books, without prophets, without
buildings, without music, without paint-
ings, they felt out into space and laid
hold on God and having touched his
right hand in the darkness, they refused
to leave unless he blessed them. Spe-
cifically Abel, by faith, made a more
acceptable sacrifice than Cain. Some-
thing delicate and free in him caused
him to appreciate with a finer discrimi-
nation what would please a spiritual
God Enoch, by faith, was translated.
Here was another worthy who “walked
with God,” who made himself “well
pleasing” unto God. His active heart
laid hold on high spiritual elements
which the Hebrew race needed. Noah
by faith, built the ark, stood up against
ridicule, held himself steady when all
about him failed. By faith, Abraham
obeyed God’s call and followed out
into an unknown land. “He went out
not knowing where he went.” But the
land became his inheritance. By faith,
Isaac and Jacob became his co-heirs in
the land of promise. Joseph, by faith,
told of the return to Palestine and the
glorious future of his family.

Jesus kept the faith. He conquered
even the cross—the attempt of dull-
souled, unappreciative brutal men to
stop his spiritual building of a kingdom
of God upon earth. By faith Peter,
James, Paul and Luke carried the gos-
pel forward in an age of persecution.
By faith the early church grew in the
Roman Empire, spread across Europe
leaped to the western shores and moved
on to the orient. By faith, the true
heroes of the church keep the altar
fires alight in this age of commercialism
and war. Once I heard Dean Inge in
St. Paul’s Cathedral say: “There were
never very many true Christians in anv
age, but down across the centuries
comes a thin procession—and at its
head someone carries the cross.” “Who
follows in His train?”

POINTERS
By Roy L. Smith

As we read the list of the faithful, we
find several names that are associated
with some rather discreditable affairs,
but God has always stood ready to use
the imperfect.

The tales that dead men tell are the
tales that rule the world.

As we read the genealogy of Jesus
we discover that his ancestors had

dumped a good deal of sewage into the
blood-stream, but God had kissed ‘it
back to sweetness.

Virtue has a strange survival value,

destiny is a hard man to stop.

A man who feels himself moved by

A good many of us believe in God,
but we want to know where He is tak-

ing us before we start out with him.

“Faith,” said a picturesque old char-
acter, “is betting your life on God.”

PRAYER THOUGHT
By William Chalmers Covert

O Lord, increase our faith! Behind
us lie unknown ages in which Thine in-
finite wisdom and power have wrought
the wonders of the universe, These ones
of silence, which the voice of human
wisdom has never broken, humble us
before Thee. Ahead, stretching into
eternity, is immeasurable time, wherein
lie secrets hidden from all but Thee.
Nevereheless may we walk confidently.
though in great humility, seeing what
manner of men we are in the appalling
spaces of time. Do Thou, who knowest
the end from the beginning, lighten our
pathway into the future by the word
of Thy truth wherein we walk by faith.
Without murmuring or impatience may
we take with courage the whole long
way to the very end. Let the fact of
Thine unerring love and never failing
wisdom be accepted wholeheartedly by
us that our timid souls may be strenth-
ended as we jorney. Keep us from the
sin of hopelessness and despair. May
we never be shortsighted as we look
toward Thee, working in infinite time
and space Thine own perfect will. May
we have faith to believe that the Cre-
ator of all the earth will do justly by
us. May we accept Thy promises and
rest in them through all the vicissitudes
of this life. And in those same prom-
ises may we find our sure hope of en-
trance into Thine own blessed presence
to go out no more forever. Glory be
to the Father and to the Son and to
the Holy Spirit. As it was in the be-
ginning, is now and ever shall be world

PADUCAH, KY.

May 16th and 17th was quarterly
meeting at St. John A. M. E. Church.
A very appreciative audience was pres-
ent Sunday morning and evening to
hear Dr. H. B. Threadgill, the very
popular P. E. of Paducah District. We
are sure Bishop Ransom made no mis-
take in appointing this very able young
man to the District, who is bringing
things to pass with a vision of the work
Peace and harmony prevail throughout
the district.

St. John Station is being pastored by
Rey. V. L. Shelto and his good wife,
who is also a minister. Dr. Shelto is
a product of Wilberforce and serving
his 3rd year here. He had the situation
well in hand when the Presiding elder
arrived. On Monday evening the busi-
ness session was held. All reports
showed a marked increase, the elder

spoke very complimentary of all the re- ,

ports and the Conference as a whole
full assessment raised, paid in full $25.00.
May these Divines live long to serve
God and humanity.

AN OCCASIONAL LETTER

(By I. M. A. Myers)

Columbia, S. C., June 5—Two great
men of the African Methodist Episco-
al Church were in attendance at the
Fommencement exercises of Allen Uni-
ersity this week—Dr. George A. Sin-
plcton, editor of the Christian Recorder
nd the Rt. Reverend Joseph S. Flip-
per, presiding Bishop of the Seventh
piscopal district. Dr. Singleton was
Buest speaker for the Alumni Associa-
ion of Allen University and Bishop
Flipper was on regular duty as pre-
iding officer and chairman of the board
pf trustees of Allen. 4 a :

While the floor leaders and noise
makers in our big board of trustees
‘and there were 120 members present)
one who could refrain from speaking
ad an opportunity to do some real
hinking and size up the situation from
nany angles. Your correspondent was

pressed with the judgment, decisions
and fairmindedness of the Bishop. He
a great leader who belongs to the
lass of churchmen when African
Methodism was being permanently es-
ablished to meet the test of a thousand
years. Determined, yet polished and
business-like, he reminds me of the
minent Bishop Henry McNeil Turner.
Nearly or about $19,000 was reported
for Allen in the meeting this week and
rom the reports people everywhere
and in all walks of life are showing a
iberal spirit toward Christian educa-
ion. “South Carolinians should have
nough ability to manage their own
affairs, ‘After more than fifty years
Allen University should have produced
some one able to manage the school as
President” is a ringing statement I
quote from the Bishop. This comes at

demanding that whenever scholarship
nd character warrant so d —that

Allenites and South Carolinians share
in the offices at Allen University and
anywhere else where the church has
“white collar jobs” to offer. This can
be done without creating factions. If
doing this causes factions then let's
have factions after this fashion, be-
cause we must have more men and
women in places in Allen and the Bish-

op is with us as has been indicated and
demonstrated.

Th

ton will be long remembered. His per-
sonality is commanding attention every-

is the “talk of the town.” “The Alumni
should be articulated in the affairs of
Allen,” said he. From now on this will
be done

Dr. Singleton was on a speaking tour
through the South and his “home folk”
were mighty glad to see him. We have
no doubts and fears about him nor
about his success.

Johnston or even the dean of Ameri-

gratulate Dr. Singleton and hope he
will make the Recorder—as he
promised—‘one of
papers in our country. Then, too, if

he desires the office of Bishop in 1944,
he desires a good thing and South Caro-
lina will join other forces and elect him
to the Bishopric. Remember that we
are not out for all of the big places.
However, we want more South Caro-
linians in Allen University. We thank
Bishop Flipper for providing fifty-
fifty representation of laymen in our
church affairs, and we thank ourselves
for having sense enough to show our
appreciation by bringing up our monies -
for all purposes, as was demonstrated
here last week.

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-
came wet with reddish liquid in 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
ties.

by the way.

We were proud to have our associate
ministers and members to worship with
us in the afternoon.

The reports showed activity in all
departments and auxiliaries of the
church and an increase in membership.

BISHOP WILLIAM A. FOUNTAIN

By J. S. McAllister

Bishop William A. Fountain, the
strong preacher and eagle eyed dis-
tinguished leader, was jn Dawson, Ga.,
at Cedar A. M. E. Church, not long
since and preached two powerful ser-
mons to a packed house. The people
that heard him and that have heard
him before said that he never preached
like this before. Some were added to
the church by this great sermon. The
Rally was good. Many were present,
that never have been to Morris Brown
College, have never seen the College.
See it as never before. Many doubting
doubts no more.

The District Conference of the Ameri-
cut District was held at Gray’s Station,
Ga., Rev. Ellis, pastor; Rev. G. E
Brown, presiding elder. This was a
great meeting indeed. The reports were
good from all points. Represented al-
most 100 per cent. Truly Rey. J. E,
Brown is a great leader. He is loved
by all in the District and all eyes in
conference are on him and his men. The
sermons were good to the Jast drop in
the meeting. Three great sermons were
preached, the Educational sermon, it
was praised by all. He was endorsed
for one of Bishops in 1940 by the Dis-
trict Conference. i
