Tlwse?v jailing?thu?Columbia?An.. v nual Conference at Union last week acknowledged that it wa^- the best v . in the history of that conference. Many who have attended annual conferences for years sail this session * . surpassed then) ally/T(hey said that - -the- sermon Sun morning by Bishop Noah W. Williams was worth more than one's trip to the seat of the conference. Sure enough it was a record breaker. The organization was simply fine and our reports were far from being the worse. The ad^ dies<c> .of Captain Abram Sihipson, ' ..business manager and acting presio dent of Allen University was a fitting climax. And the sermons .by Dr. S. II? Lewis and Rev. J. M Williams made wonderful*, impression^. Music by all the- chuut were^ grand. Namely, Bethel, Trinity and -Clinton Chape)?jTHc reception program was -. ;. a high class affair and the? Pastor, Rev.

Zion Church he came blundering to our church like a blind horse, with no more recommendation than.i buck rabbit. But I vouched for him when ho should have been in prison, and had iV.y bishop appoint him to one ofj our goo i charges. And as awn us ims eiepnanx ieet rut mo.,soil he bagan his old tricks. He "swipped n41 of the Easter Day Money, Children's Day, May Day, Endowment Day, then" .finally concluded with 'he Dollar Money and took the woods. He seems to forget that there is a sheriff in Union county, arid stealing church money is just as much of a crime as stealing other money. The A, M. E. Church will teach this double jointed rogue a lesson for all time ?* tt> come. The "Spartanburg district t would have held-its own had that old billy goat in lamb's fleece, reported what the people gave him for the conference. He must not be seen- in any of our pulpits until the courts are through with him, for he will steal an annual conference. The Sovenir I'-age ? * We received many congratulations on our A. M. E.
