Jesse E. " Leaid, ol Charleston, S.C. At present Rev. Beard i? serving as., presiding ' e.der of the Georgetown district in the A. M. E. ' Church. Sensing economic needs in several com.inunit\os at ditl'erent points?on his district he has mers' Conferences for successive Saturdays, from .January 10 to reoruary U, inclusive. The Call announcing the Conferences is worth quoting. We certainly hope thai tne fai-nierg fr>? be" Unstrained to .attend: "In the hope ot helping many Negro farmers of Georgetown County, and tne Kastern sections of Williamsburg County, we are calling farmers and their wives to assemble themselves together in certain convenient places to. discuss every phase of farming and farm life. "First class farmers will be called upon to tell how they succeed along certain lines. Many far hirers need to knew how to plough, how to plant, how to have gardens, how to raise chickens and how to make them produce eggs, and in fact how to manage their farm life generally." Meetings are to be held at Georgetown, January bO; and Yahanna, February (k The? frr?C-meeting " was held- last Saturday at Hemingway. Rev. Beard is interested in the heie and now and wants all people to have the; fullest opportunity to enjoy the. good, things of life. This we take it is the only type of ministry suited to the needs of Negrot's <Tliring the present time. Rev.' Beard has lead the way as far as the political emancipation of his people is concerned heretofore. Some years ago he had the courage to I.come a candidate for Congress in Charleston County, He was defeated bat his example had a I .jjlnl yy iiUUw^etr=iTpasi4 I III' VfrgiMS political psvcholpgy.

HANCOCK ? - * The Voice From The Vatican Within recent months, there have come forth Into this wolrd of chaos and confusion tho Pope has = mi tim Vat.irnn mnif nignifinnl pvnnuiiin I'mrrit^'' attempted to cast the light of the church of tht C-huivh of God. From no quarter has gone out a more certain voice in an uncertain situation;' and -the Capal?deliverances ha!> shown a peculiar discernment in world affairs. The Pope knows, as every churchman ought to know, that unless the! Church can lift a positive voice now. it neqd not j lift it in times to^come. JFthe Church has the light ! it is time that such light was thrown out to guide the destinies of men and nations. In such times ! as are -upon us, silence on the part of the Church is suicidal! The Roman Catholic Church now, as for hundreds of years, has been quick to sense1 the meaning of the situation; and has accordingly .Lifted its voice abovo -the din and -distraction of"1 the times, peichancfe to guide men in the way of truth. Whenever any?organization is?blessed with sUch" sagacious leadership as has been displayed by the Pope in the present situation, we can understand the secret of the vigor and po\ver of the Roman-Ca-tholie Church. W'Hen the Pope?mvited the Protes-" - - taut world back into the fold of the Catholic Church, he was making an overture that thoughtless men may deride, but thtmghtful. men will seriously ponder. Because of its internal unity and coherence; becaues of iU authority and vision/1 the Catholic Church after nearlytwo thousand years stands forth today the most imposing religious or--ganizatiun in all ^the wot lit: Wbile the Protestant denominations are dividing and subdividing, com petrng and fighting, the Catholic Church bids fair to eventualh-__take pharge of world. A hrm<i&_ divided against Itself cannot stand; Protestantism is shamefully divided, while the Cntholif rhnvph stands with solid front as it has stood through the centuries. Disunity cannot outlast unity; competition cannot overthrow cooperation. This writer . _ha? .no fears for.the future of the~Avorldr even tho' eventually all Protestants find their way back to the Catholic fold. - If Catholicism can unite the Christians the world pver.jfls-it keeps its ranka at """pfe.servf- united, and Protestantism continues ito weaken itself with internal bickerings and dissension, it is only a matter ?of time! Then too, who knows but that the world will be better off religiously united under Catholicism than hoplelessly divided under Protestantism? At any rate, , Pro' testantism had better bestir itself and face its task with -eeurage and with calm. The vieor and I longevity of the~"CathoIic "Church- has some sure foundation! The bestiality of the Negro race, the brutality of the Germans?as lies?have never been Priesthood?and -the?Catholic?Church." "Vet*. /the lives on and shows no weakening of its powers and no chroming of its vision. What is more, we find the Protestants more and more harking back to Catholicism for their standards and ceremonies. Even in Baptist churches we have the gowned minister and the .vested choir with lituigies deverse and extended^ That which is t'nfholin in mir Protestant churches-ia thtrmtrst beautiful and con" duces most to worship. For whatever is most advanced in worship and ritual, the Protestants are - irdeUed to the Catholic ehurch.?In spite?of the lies many Protestants have told on Catholics, there is something fascinating in the spirit and service cf Catholicism. Just as we c^y after the Catholics j in our worship, the time may ccftne when we seek the original. More and more the world of religion , will call for reality and the Catholic church offers -a?reality in religion that the world will be slow I to pass up. Religious prejudice is breaking down and with its breakdown we may-expect rejuvenation j tanism os the mammtmemm mmabbafwwoww wd ' of the Catholic Church. The unification of Protestanism is the only way by which its early reunion with Cathoheism can bo postponed, tf indeed such ' postponement is desirable. In religion we must have I authority; in Catholicism we have such authority ' but in Protestantism we have not to any pronounc- I ed extent, 'and it is extremelv rfnnhtfni ir I testant denominflticms can ultimately Aiirviva the difficulty.
