Sims Makes Wonderful Impression" cHl, -?At Blaney Blaney, May 4?The Lancaster District, Columbia Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, held its 19th session at Cinai Church, . E. Philip Ellis. is Ihe presiding -elder and the Rev. G. W. .Tames was elected chief secretary. ~ _ This-is Dr. Ellis'" first'year as presiding elder,' when it comes to holding conference, handling men, making out A ptogeam that will-give the fteonle much, ncoriod in fnnVi ntir.no > ce'rning the church in general and the ! Lancaster District in particular, the good doctor is. in a class by himself. The district conference programs were something new for South Carolina. The aisual stalfe programs-we are accustomed to see will take flight and Irown themselves in the Gulf pf Mexico^ never to rise any more jnbthe CoJumb'ia.Conference, or I .should say, especially as it rclates.tp the Lancaster* District. Dr. Ellis has traveled extensively over the connection while xravcling-for the Sunday School U? :itun ami ue :u'iV a in pnrrinp- : first hand information from his experineee. The bptiuty of. it all, he says that lie believes.in all men and ! no naan-r-'I will not. say. or. do ^behind j closed doors what I vaeuld not say or do hefore~artT?5n's face." All the assessments were paid infull save two missions; they will report inrm few1 days. Dr. J. M. Harrison led the district in everything, e.yen reported more than, required. Dr..! Ellis has something in his voice or -throat that ? 1? licvc that he is sincere. One man told me, "Bowman, Ellis can't help but tell the truth." The Lancaster District, idolizes him. . This scribe did not hear Dr., J. E. Beard's speech, but the boys told me that he showed his master mind in discussing the Sabbath Day, The theological institute under Dean Holman. Drs, E. A. Adams and J. M., Harrison did untold good to Those seekers after truth. Dr. Adams made Jus usual good impression, but the people we're surprised at the information Dean Holman had; certafn-ly he dcceivcd-hrr fboksr if other : presiding"elders would try the young dean, they would be very much surprised at his knowledge of the Bible. The distinguished visitors that attended this conference were: Drs. E. A. Adams, K. W. Mance, T. J.aMiles, G. K. I.yles, D. H. Sims, and the nevs, T. Robinson, IT G. Bowman, ?f. W. Shaw, N. A. Itice, Prof. Alfornia William, Mi-. J. F. Bowman, Prof. E. Iff. Press- \ ley and Prof. Green Jackson. These last three are in the rnee I the General Conference. -The Lancaster District has but one candidate, of course he will be elected on the first ballot. The missionary ladies had a fine meeting. Mrs. V. T. Ellis was present and her speech added?much to our work. ?>he has an pa'sy flew oft language.- She has a series of lec-1 tures on mission and the conference [ asked her that she not only lecture I tu tlit'Mi, hut" li'UVbl tTH? fllHtrlfl iirtfl" give the people the information. The feature of the conference was Mjnirfiiwrrrn^ THE PAI,B REV. RyW. MANCE, A. M., D. D. OUSTANDING CANDIDATE FOR TftE BISHOPRIC An Ex-President of Allen University Educator, Distinguished Theoligian Presiding Elder of the .Charlpstoc District, South Carolina Conference, Candidate f orthe Bishopric in 1928 Chicago, 111; By RevT A. W. Watson, LL. B., D.D., We are living, we are dwelling In grand ^nd awful time, in an age . .. . . * We would that we had- the space and time to write of the inspiration Riven to the Negro race, reg*ard1'esfir>/rfrf flo?litllUIluIUl^ 1 piuilinties, hut such .brilliant sons, born in -South Carolina, namely,- Bishops Morris Brown, Daniel A. Payne, Henry M. Turner, Moses B. Salter, William D. Chappelle and-William W. Beckett These men as_ bishops wrought well and came through the years undaunted and unafraid. All that is kif.h nn.l hnlir in Art.tVmHion to us. We are heirs of a common heritage. More than a hundred years ago we began housekeeping for our"selves, and although difficult has been the path over which we have COTvic, we are still pressing the -dpwawl way. Beginning in the fax' off day in the city of Philadelphia, when it was a crime for a Negro to act independently of aw' hite mail, Richard Allen Negroes for Negroes'and! by Negroes, with the 'ouUUing banner of the Cross and underneath the banner of universal brotherhood, with the motto: "God our Father, Christ our Redeemer- and man our brother." ? We have been, informed that the number seven alludes to the seven libral arts and Sciences which arfit grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetih,. geometry, music and astronomy. The Stratir Carolina Conferences knowing this fact, therefore have endorsed their son, Rev. R. W. Mance alT the seventh native born South Carolinian .for the bishopric in 1928. . . i As a pioneer educator, at the ape school at Newberry, S. C.,~ and subsequently joined the Columbia conference. His. brilliancy, forensic zeal, tact, and both natural and acquired leadership, in church and school life Grained -him .much prominence in professional service. He; has served his church and race to wit: twenty-five years in the African Methodist ministry; eight years secretary financial board of the A. M. E. Church; eight years president of Allen University; Principal of High School eight years; two years president of the Palmetto Stmc-Ti'at'hcrs' Association and lead or <>1 ooih.ms conference and state delegations to the General-Conference. He is sturdy, afTable, congenial and apt "to teach gnd visualizes on things in church and ..s^ite. r'"- ? " He was the first minister in South Carolina to lite a collection beyond $12000; he secured $15,000 from the General Education Board to renovate he plant at Allen University, secured two salaried tenehers-gt $60(P and $1000; left an enrollment of elevn hundred and thirty-two at ArHenUniversity; par.torod from the smallest mission o'Mt. Zion Statjon, Charleston, S. C. . " Dr. Mance i? especially noted for his high degree of courtesy, politness and intellectual cultute. 'His daily walk and conversation are worthy of commendation and make for him a host of friends. Hisp pen and voice are never gilcntr ' ' c~i 1 As a Christian minister, Knight of Pythias and Mason, his excellent character and splendid reputation do much to give him influence for the purpose , of elevating" his race. All SouthTCarolina. with the connection, anticipates Robert Weston Mance's election at the ensuing General Conference, Chicago, 111, May, 1928. the great educational addres3 by Dr. David H. Sims of Aljen University. People everywhere, who heard the distinguished educator, declared that his equal is not in the South. It seems this scribe musC confess that this was the best he had ever heard him de-' liver. We stopped with Mr. and Mrs. Dorroth Johnson. We were their pastor ten years ago. Jloth of them have always. Been kind" and good to us, but '.bis time they .treated us like n king. - . FOR RENT 4 Room House in Brayton Avenue. Appiy MRS. A. M. GARRETT 2116 Lady St. W.
