Saturday, September 25. 1926. Z_~| Has thft I^TAfiPfit Paaf ?I?;. A.. M.^E. Church, REV. ALBERT Tte frerrt^ay to find outwhether or .-not a pastor in the A. M. E. Church has failed is to wait until he submits. hjs .report to the ensuing annual conference; ~;$anre ministerial bench; memberlf have instituted?a whis pering conference to the effect that . the present-pastor of the-Mt.. Pisgah A.-M.' E. Church has failed. Maybe he has and maybe he has not. Now' wha^-nre the facts in the case ? Let's ticn^-and -then conclude in harmony wjth the facts. ?:?^ Wbpn the preknnt. nastnr of the Mt.' Pisgah Church came_to Greenwoodr tioning. The pastor who preceeded ?feoard and atteinpted to elect another board, t he new, board elected really a new bank book arranged, and we seeured a cashier's check for Sim^, "and I sent him his seventy deUgrs. Now, what about the afterrhath of " this deal? I won the enmity of men whose support to me; in a, way, has conference year. Of course, that . does .not bother Kims, he is president .of Allen University, a big man, and the^ trials of-Uttle fellows like myself need not give him a moments thought. " ~ ' < Anyone not'a -fool can easily see, that with the problems already ijidi~v' cated, the situation here had to handled with care. Some men I know. " oould not have staid here at all. I - shall show you both now as well as at the ensuing conference that the present pastor^ despite the problems indicated, has not altogether failed. For the past eight or ten years, the Mt. Pisgah Church has not had a settled pastfor. JfsIpasJtors* have been -/ ftien who taught in Allen University. They -wore men who drew a fairly goocT salary from Allen and wKcT picked ttp all they could here. They could Wfflrfkto toy-withtheir friends Salary they rereived \hero,arrd Itye out of the^salary they reEyER attempted to stay here and , live out of the salary that,this CJhurch can givp. So not one of them really such "conditions and?<?r not <jne of em kriowg the Mt. Pisgah A. IVf. E. Church. ?1 ???? ?ij!?;?r-- ?? J- '' has never lived here in abseil"Pisgah A. Mi E Church.- He could ?. r ?^erei have stayed here three years on such a salary. " Of the one hundred and, seventy members that this " church had, some eighty one of them . have^ gope to ,^ther~ places-to liveT .. . Wd have some,. fifty-mdmbcrs less than w|> had when Sims pastored hew. Send him pack here again and let htm ?r~ attempted to act as trustees, and to -'atftufttiy take the duties of the other board in "hand. This new board wont SO far as to gn to f;he hank nnd attempt to get out money that ? had been deposited j.there by the former ^ board.. - This- is condition No. 1 that the present pastor had to face. Now if he reinstated .the OLD *__JBOArd* he faced & fight with thtr NEW board, and if he continued in action, the l4EW board, he faced a fight with the old board. Thus ynn CPP thp ' situation intn vvhu-h hV>| wnn plnend, The pn-tnv ruinntated the old board,?for- j the reason that moved. ^Ttyus in such an official ac-, . tion, he paved the path for a conflict! withvthe "bogus board"?which was created for a purpose'dearly understood. Now the, -next ..problem that! the pastor had to face here, was that the Revi Pi Ht Simn. advanced'vS)70.00 of liis jftwn money "Kere on the- dollar money- Onauthorieeddayv the church; 'No meeting of.The. church vya* called for that purpose,' and t*10 Tongrega tion did not ask him to do this. Of "course, the foliar money" hacT not been collected."" In the fifeht-thut they had Ihere, no dollar money report miuld have been made to the last annual conferenue-t^fc-all. The congregation has never paid one cent of that n money. "Sims, presumed that-he was loved so -\yell here; thaJL jany thing. Jie said would -go. But it remains for 1 ; ; rvT V - ~ this congregation to even thank him for what lie-did. Now, here come* the worst feature of the whole thing. At least seven ? of the former' trustees, whom he ^thought ^ Would^ haye^rushet^dn^ to^^lo ? names to any paper for him ?o get _ a!sked him to advance. Well, he was ~ "looking to the piesent pastor of Mt. "Pisgah to round up the crowd and e get his money for him. How did the pastor (io this? He hud'only one man who would go to the bank with _ him._ The standing of that one man, with .the standing of the pastor; had ?--? nr of ffie Mt. Pisgah? Greenwood, Failed? H. LONG, D. D. r Tto some of lliu wuuderful tilings 1 claims he. can do here. Take him oi of-, the -presidency-- of Aden?and h him have the Mt. Pisgah A. 1 "Church again. " i" I waht to wa?i"Sims and ;all Wl are concerned, if I am bothered t) 1 ea at--about the damnatiorT tbat utbei 'eft here, I am gofng to say som thing that will ,'not read nice i print.
