From Bethel A. M. E. Church. t We the,pastor ami members of this a church wish to thank our good peo- a pie from the depth of our hearts for 1< helping us to entertain the annual 0 conference so royally and hospitably the past week. We had over one ^ hundred and fifty ministers to en- f tertain an.! every one went off well 0 pleased with his treatment. It was a said by the bishop ami others that ^ it was the best conference that was ever held in the state. During the ? conference $13,946.15 were raised for ^ our school, Allen University and church purpose. J Sunday morning the ordination * sermon was preached by Dr. K. C. Rarnson of New York. More than ( thirty preachers were ordained to go s out into the world and preach the t gospel. Dr. Ramson is one of the ^ best orators of his race. v Bishop Chappelle was very much a impressed with the good people of t Kingstree. He said he had never seen a beter lot of people anywhere, j and that he had never heard a bet- b terf speech made by a mayor thart what t he heard by Mayor Scott on la.-t c Wednesday night. It was very point- a ed and instructive. I We pray God's blessings upon the n good people of Kingstree that they ? will continue to work for the church ' and for the up-building of Christ's jj kingdom. 1 D. N.
