“PEN POINTS”
Shall We Re-district Our Work?

H. Mansfield Collins

This seems to be the time for various
Suggestions regarding certain issues
to be considered at the forth coming
conference ;
that of re-districting our work or our
episcopal districts and the Sth District
comes in for its share with the claim
that this district embraces too much
territory. As one of the pastors of the
5th I wish to give this brief concern-
ing the same, ;
For the sake of argument we admit
that the 5th District from the point of
territory is the largest and most ex-
tended in the United States and calls
for more trayel doubtless than any
other. But I would have you know that
the stretch of territory has little to do

who know the geographical setting of
our country will agree that the Wee
is the most sparsely settled in America
and more so with our Race group, a

THAT a man who has, for
fifty-five years, kept his eyes
°pen and his ears to the ground,
asa teacher, preacher, presiding
elder, pastor, secretary of the
oldest institution for the higher
training of the race, in America;
heard the first and the last word
spoken by bishops at the opening
and closing of fifty-five sessions
of annual conferences—thirty-
three of which he was the Chief
secretary; attended fifty-four
sessions of District conferences
and Sunday-school Institutes and
Conventions; delegate to five ||
General Conferences—two of
which he was one of the Assist- |
ant Secretaries; built from the |
ground up, two commodious
churches; erected and remodeled ||
two parsonages; received 1252 |}
members into the church, col- ||
lected $12,600.00 Dollar Money |
and $11,250.00 Educational Money,
and now, at the age of 75, pas-
toring, with some measure of
success, one of the most heavily
involved financially, ||
in the entire Connection, should,
I think, be prepared to speak, ||
ex-cathedra, upon some of the
things which vitally concerns the
church and race.

THAT the character, tone, and
quality of the delegates to the
General Conference would be
greatly improved if the bishops
would exercise their prerogatives,
in their election, as they do in
other matters pertaining to their
exalted office. Bishop Payne, fif-
ty years ago, refused to permit

WEEKLY THOUGHT

ON LIFE’S WAY
The world is wide,

In time and tide,
And God is Guide ;

Then do not hurry.

That man is blest
Who does his best
And leaves the rest,
Then do not worry.
—C. F. Deems

WEEKLY POEM

WINTER’S SHADOWS
The sun climbs down the dark’ning sky
And leaves a crimson afterglow,
With long, blue shadows here and there
Across the frozen wastes of snow.

And ere ’tis gone’the moon peeps up
Beyond the rugged poplar’s height,
To spread a pale gold setting for
Th twinkling diamonds of the night.

The weary seek the cheer of home,
Where warmth and refuge are akin.
Tho frosty silence reigns without,
Gay song and laughter sound within.
—Harriet Nicholas

INDIVIDUAL COMMUNION
SERVICES

THE “TWENTIETH CENTURY” SERVICE

The trays contain 30, 35, or 40 glasses, each. One to four trays
can be placed upon one base. Only the top tray requires a cover, as
each tray becomes a cover for the one beneath. The base and cover
are not absolutely necessary, but will add very much to the appearance.

Our special Service of Aluminum is so finely finished that very few
are able to distinguish it from silver when the two materials are placed

side by side. The Aluminum is light weight, durable, and does not
tarnish.
