I)R. S. S. MORRIS, D. D.
J Bishop B, PVI.oo of tainted Memory 1
I was one reminded by some friends |
.that he ran for the bishopric; The]
j pood bishop immediately voiced his
'dls^llll Kliylntf,--^ did-not rurt, 1 stood
foi* TtTe bishopric."
Dr. S. S. Morris in a speech recently
said, "I am not running. UI., am,
standing for the bishofpric." I am
standing in my Integrity, standing in
the considered "Old fashioned, crudo|
?Brutal. Yes, it is all of these. God
is knowledge of a clear conscience?
I which indicates God's approval, standj
ing upon my record of quite 30 years
as ' an itinerant minister and as a
member, of the A. M. h,.~Gnurch from
childhood. Dr., Morris comes of true
Methodist stock. His mother was a
Sunday School teacher for 60 years.
As Sunday School page, teacher,- Al- I
len League loifal president, State
president, 18 years, a pastor, 12 years
a general officer, the record shows,
j that wherever he has labored there
har been peace, prosperity and permanent
growth. His first appointment
was West End Mission, Atlanta,
Ga. The membership strengthened,
conference claims increased. Pews
and belfry built by (pastor's own labours.
