mi the guest of Rt-v. Harrison J.
tryanty who for years has pastor
I d Bethel, one of our greatest
lurches. Dr. Bryant is no ordin y
man, he is almost an idol fot
e people of Baltimore. He has
been the object of my study for
some time. He is intelligent relij
gious, a great preacher, morally
correct, has proved his loyalty to
the Church, and humble nnrl ra?-.pe<I
tful to these in authority. He is
the husband of one wife, with a loI
ving family, sober and sane in his
conduct, and these I regard as real
fitness for any position in the
church. Besides this is exactly what
the hihlo requires for fitness fOi
Bishop. This is my opinion of him.
and there now are five bis.hops on
the bench, that know that whei
they were elders, I gave my opinion
of their fitness, and the coming
General conferences confirmed my
opinion by electing them. My opin
ion now is, if the ^1956 General
Conference refuse this caliber oi
man, what can \Ve hope for? To
elect him, the church has won, tc
fail to elect him, the church has
lost. I have spent much of mj
long service striving, and writing
trying to put worthy men in this
exalted office, no one paid me, 1
looked to the advancement^ of the
A. M. E. Church as my reward for
the work. All of those I helped
know it, and they are my witness
that I have never held my hand out
to them. I started this helping ser
vice with Elder J. M. Conner, more
'.han forty years ago, and until the
| -lection of the junior Bishop in
1952. All of these remember the
'Midnite-prayers. I am volunteerng
my service to Dr. Bryant, he
las not approached, me, until I
ame to him and offered my service
in any way to help him. When
le knew anything, I was traveling
ind working for him. I can't be
bought, hut if your fitness appeal
to me, you have what I can do
without the asking. In my humble
judgement, Harrison J. Bryant
would add lustor to the bench, and
credit to the ones electing him,

TO SUPPORT

The people of Richland county
will vote June 2 to decide whether
$1,405,Q00 in bonds will be issued
to enlarge and to improve the Columbia
hospital. The people of the
entire county own the hospital; if
they vote "YES," then there will
be money to do a lot of work that
is needed.
Actually, the hospital would be
lappy if much more money were
available so a lot more work could

important work to bo done first
with the hope that the other im?

The hospital is a big place. Last
year 67,684 patients were treated
there. Now that is more people
than live in the city of Charleston.
Because of the gTowth of Colum

more demand for space at the hospital.
