ALBERT Practical, matter of fact men -are never Cdmired TTy men who are afraid of the meril syatem,- Men-who ^ mean to buy their way want- ncjthing ' to do with men whio have nothing to sell.". The practical man does not.; take kindly to the lover of deception. He knows that there is nothing in it. . _* He knowe that tt.? ?? 1 ? ? wi?v uirn awu liiCUS. ' ureg that mean-to succeed by deceptive means are never trueto any " caUsgg ^-hey-r-aro here to day, and there tomorrow. , No-roal confidence jj'an be reposed in them. And yet, the practical business-tike man is. the only one who can Ret results in the drying hour. So long as any group 1 of men among us believe that they i ? can succeed by-deceiVtTTg each""other, 1 our cjause is^potr safa?. So- long as'{ 1 any group-of-merr nmong"~us~"rejoice ? in the ability tp take tin advantnare-ef-| eacn Other. Olir rapse-jct nmnfp Thflfaj . _:nre men among us wh^ re4dTce ait'each j interest in each other's success. This is seen in the constant. efforts ofteVi "put forth by brother -against brother. so as to .encompass another's. success with failures. We. face.?a -dan? gerous condition here. .It is no wonler that we hnvo fni" The intense hatred we have for each other is such as to prevent any suc. ' cess we might have along tha^liner _ Anv-Bishop fares n varihnfe^ifrnrfTT^ here. Men stand around him who are ? * willing to misdirect him. .They have no scruples in tolling Jiim a falsehood. They will do anything so as to get an* advantage ovbr their brother. < . Visit - any ofl>our annu a 1 taeetings ?J?and you will see written on many faces the spirit of hate, hate, hate. It is' into just "such conditions that -" Bishop John Hurst has come. He has made a brilliant-record in the Florida"fieTd in which he has served. His! to pass, will go down in the history of _the A. M. E. Church, as having! been ..Q.ne._ofrihe greatest feats that any man has perfbrmed in the history of ^^^the-ATTVi.- E. Church. ' I - "Why do certain elemtns feaf him? Because, he has nothing to self.* "Vou cannot toy with Bishop Hurst. You cannot sham vour way with him. NQb ' ~~ PiMii' can put Bishop Hurst's manhood ~-Hr-hia pookot and hnast g^opf. it. Try" it once and you_ will not try it again. Gocj directed him here. Every ef^ - -fort possible^ was put forth to .keep t.im away from here. He did not seek this" field of?service. The con, ditions here""sdught him. He is a type of man whom no mearsiirp of prosperity has ever turned his head. He is a man whom no man's-money* can buy. He has no sunh appointments to give. Try him and set; if you can get one that way.? A? a! _ presiding officer, no "rings" control, his conferences. The man of com-, ihon sense and ability can be heard. With him it is never a question of whether or not a man is a"Big" man t oi- n "Little" man. If liu thing ..to say that is worth saying, : he will be heard, and if h?_has not, he will take his seat. He is intensely interested in all that concerns the 1_ A. M. E. Church. He ig a connectional man of the finest possible type. . He is not sectional in his sympathies. He is-a broad-hearted Christian gentleman. We must have betterfeeK ing among our men here. The spirit of hate in us for each other must either be changed -or our cause' is Bishop Hurst can do a great deal for us if1 wtLWlll let -him. Ho will noLj be able t9 do anything for us !if we fight hfs plans and1 effort lo deceive ~~ htm. What" We need here- today^ig a man who is masterful, a man wjio has | a program that is practical and is v worth wniiu.?The- warring elements 2; are not adding anything to our cause. They are simply destroying that _ .which our fathers have planted. -'v . pur young men today with all of , " their degrees and boasted school acThe fight for places in which -iofail, is one of the.biggest problems Every man one. meets is fighting for - - pface. Juat as one sur-CPflda " in " pulling up one place that another hag torn down, anotner iei low. toho has^no program . for any - soon- as ^ie gets it and tears it up, _ he wants to get away ffflULthat place so as to rip np another. Bishop Hurst is one of the bOst irnmfrn. mrtr in thn iA M g.j fhiranh I have known him for the past twenty | vfsr^ant with the splendid rnrnrd ho has made. He is not a maxek-belfleve . man. a i?ut io~ ? __ , man of exceptional ability Hf? eas. .. ily ranks with the ablest man the A.?M. E. Church has today. His is a trained mind^and in connection with jeL++mi?r. ?? ?iMiMMpMpBjgji? l.M.. An OiitfttanHiny |. iruroup - |: H.?LONG, D. D. tnat, ne nan arc-expression?of manhood that is worth' while- He has I clear-cut convictions, and these are j not for sale. Yes, there are men who fear him, but thev are not the | men who stand_for the" best. They Lar.fi men jwho^have used deception as | a stepping stone to. pHices of power, I They fear him because they can neith. J or buy him nor^ bribe him. -to put ' Bishop Hurst ia nfit nnly hnnn^d | within the confines of the A. M. E. Church, but by many' people outside . uf-the A. M. E^Church as well. He is a man who has both character and cupacity of a high prder. L_ LrfiJttifimbfir..th.e _great_work_Jie_ilid s pastor of Bethel ChiifchTBaltimore, " as-welt j as the: btilli&jit record- he . made as the Financial Secretary of tfte A, iVT. E. Clni/ch . iL I He is a splendid leader men. He : vs not a "Big- Boss." The only thin]? " he? asks from those with whum he works is results. The man who means to-do right Tias nothing to fear, Foreigners must take care of them- selves here. This is just as true ofLjuai why tfrf.pi chrwnia r.nnh on unholy-horror of ,Wfist Indians, .vl" have never been able to understand. I have, heard myself called "one of those hated WeatThdiana" again and again._ Some of the most cultured Negroes in America are West Indians. Many of our group cry aloud about the discriminations that are made against them," and just as soon- as they are given a chance, l.heyT(Io~thfi~samfi thing to. each other. Its funny but it's true. It is not the -West Indian ghost tftat we need. fear. What we want is a common-sense' leader with a common-sense program. We have just-such a leader in Bishop tturst. xne great worn ne nas aone "trr Florids~removes "every doubt as " to his capacity as a leader. He has vision, foresight, manhood. Why. bother about the West Indian bauble when he has the goods that the work needs? ? - ???' I To knock men simply because they happen to have the capacity to do -vhat which you cannot do is wrong. "n""? ydn have failed, iB urrongr -Tn j th- and to .say all kmtLoi^meail-thing.s! about?a?man that one knows "To"he false, marks the man who does it as ' being a bad fellow. Why look up J into-a man's face and grin and then; step out in the dark^nd join a gang : of cutthroats, against him? Whylook up into Bisho Hurst's face and grin and then stab him in the back airer you ieave mw;?Certainly the ; transfer system would help us here. Just as there are officers in many of tuhnXn fixrhi: the several pastors who come and go, so there -are pastors Who arc over-rine in eery; tain fields and districts in which thl'Y; have served. They -should be transferred out and oth&rs moved into .The"Tie mills that were kept busy while Bishop Chappelle was with usJ' should go out of, business now. It-is well neveF to forget, that the meas ure you mete shall be measured to you. . - - - - j No, Brother^ Bishop Hurst can fill the bill. He one among the manlymen of the A. M. E. Church. He has a cultured, christian heart. The funeral sermon he delivered over Bishop Chappelle, was" one of thg most ef-' frrtivr T have ever hoi^l on^uch occasion. It marked Bishop Hurst as i being an able man.. The dignity of; the office -Oi-Bishop is sa?? with him. j "Bishop Hurst ~ls" a man of a few j words.-; Verbosity is- not one of "the-f crimes that he commits. He is not. apt to load himself down with prom-f isea that he cannot keep. Nor can f any group of men buy him up with; money that'belongs to some one else, j and then wash his face with jt when j they fail to get what they want, i -There arc certain men in many places" awav mopey that does not helong to them', and then cursing the Bishop No one here is apt to play that game on Bishop Hurst. No. the brilliant tells the story of his capacity as a leader who is really worth while.. - A rftBBFrTIOM r? ????? Last w^k Mrs." T.?FV Jones publinhod aw nrticlf nbating that Ite?. J.1 C.
