Dr :: K*r EL phuip EiRa CONDITIONS QUITE TRYING With all of the government's leg islations and appropriations, thousands of people are hungry and ' .clotheless; ' unable to pay house ' rents, and taxes unpaid for three and lour years. There is undoub ' tedly something wrong somewhere. Hundreds of industrious people are walking the streets and highways unabre to find employment of~any kind?la many ot our congregations only uhree out of tej. members are etnplpyed in anj way, and that few in many installces are working a part of then- time. Now this is not universally trqe. For in some section* mostly rural, the people are experiencing better times. But where people cannot meet theii personal obligations, pay the cur rent- expenses of their churches """ -..iKinn rvt r>a?trv r's Malar. W aojf iivviiui^ v* jfwwvw. ~ ? ? ies, the general church just at well-Hook to suffer witlh the loca.. ^ churches. The Holy Book, assures us that "God-will provide," but until such provisions are made these conditions obtain. Since Christianity teaches its subjects to b* optomistic, we can only hope and pray tliat a change will come And during these times "our people should" crowd the churches" insteatr of the street corners and highway ' crossings, and importune Cod. ftu. help instead of man. Say what you will but God alone can ldac this world out of the tangled situation in which it is in today. ? THE GRIM REAPER Not only Columbians, but the race and nation deeply deplore the passing of such outstanding char acters as Doctor M. A. Evans, female physician; Doctor C. E. Site phenson, physicifth and surgeun; N A. Jenkins, superintendent of the Waverley hospital and Hon. T. H Pinckney, one of the beslj under takers of the "south. It seems almost a pity to lose such land marks from our facial group at such a time as this. But it has pleased Gold to call them, and wc must parti with them to our sad regret. We thank God that they did not live their lives here in vain. South Carolina nor any other state has produeed charack t ters more nobler. They have cerlainly left their foot prints upon the sand'of time. They still live in monuments built by them Whilr they lived on earth. Their accomplishments will not only be an inspiration to their children but will protect their families as long as they live. May God bless their precious memory and may others of the race emulate their-virtues. It is equally sad to note the pass ing of Bro. J. J. Jeter of Sahtuc. He? had wrought well in both the church and state.' And in all of these deaths we sincerely believe that their lost to earth is heaven's gain. - . CHRISTMAS SEAL STAMPS It is hoped that the Negroes will make the largest report .this year than in the history of the state in^ selling Christmas Seal Stamps!" Never were we better organized Tor the work. President?M-:?Fr Whittaker, of State College, a' Orangeburg, who heads this work in South Carolina reflects credit upon the position and everyone of us connected with it. Prof. John P. Burgess, chairman of our special state eommitteeT- and- Pref-r-Gr A. Johnson, our socretary-treas,, w.v- o..? nr+ lU, I best educators of this country but re truly "Blessings to our racial roup. We who constitute the committee representing the colored people, work in connection with the committee of white people. And it has been almost a reflection upon the colored people in the past to compare our receipts with that of the white people. While we confess the work is a bit new'to Negroes but there is no money spent in America thf|t does more to help suffering Negroes than the money received?from?the?sale o, Christmas Seal Stamps. Every Negro pastor and congregation should interest themselves in purchasing these, stamps. Ministers that are not willing to preach a gospel of good health and lead in a movement to secure it is unfit to be entrusted with the care of a flock. Dr. R. S. Lawrence, pastor Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church, Charleston was placed in charge of the work in this city, and he has contacted every minister ot :y the Interdenominational Alliance ~ iC and J[ can safely say that we will ' represented in large figures l'i when he makes his final rennrt TIDINGS FROM DR. REID We have just -received-- a conrmunication from the General Conference delegates of the 13th Epis copal district, that Dr. Frank Madison Reid, won the nomination for the bishopric from that district. Many congratulations to the young giant who is a paid up. sub- ^ scriber to The Palmetto Leader. We wish for him the greatest success. Our informeF wanted to know our state's: choice and said that they had fifty or more votes for exchange. While I>r. J. L. Benbow of Sumter, is chairman of our gtefcring committee, and in due time will oonfer with delegations, I took the liberty as chairman of the publicity committee to reply., I told them that Dr. Eugene A. Adams/ of Columbia was our state's choice for bishop and there would be seventy-four votes J coming from this state. "DON'T ROCK THE BOAT" ' 1 The above - phrase was that of he late Bishop Joshua H. Jones, >f which he would use in all oi ns conierfcnces and similar meetrigs when confusion bfdissatisaction woula arise in them. DON'T ROCK THE BOaT. Cast week I made it my business to contact one "1 the aspirants tor :he bishopric from this state, who is as not made choice at the delegates' meeting, to ascertain trom mm his lutcire anticipation. It was rumored that he meant to continue his race lor the bishopric. Tie said that he hau maue nq_ statement to tne ehect tnat he was out of the race. And that h?. felt that no state or delegates ^nould say he must not seek his utsired aspirations, he lurthei attlU UlJtV. ne I1UU It'MflS lit nis possession urging him to stay in the roce. So .lor the time being Ik ,aiu, he would not say he is in me race nor would he say he iout, but that he would consult the L,orii. A\ ell since I about know what the Lord will say I want to ask this question: , WHAT ABOUT THE PRIMARY? Now we just as well buckle down to lacts. When a group of aspirants aubnuL themselves ta a primary they-are morally and otherwise obligaleu to abiue by its de-lsion, and that every scnool bo> Knows. Not only the deleateu -dndiuates but the- entire delegation is bound by the majority's uvcision. In governmental aliaus t a candidate enters a primary, and is defeated and fails to abiui jy us decision, he will no.t onl> neei Humiliating deieat at the hii'om the party for violating hn obligation. in case a perooii is not sure'of winning a primary the sale thing lor nun to uc .s not enter but run independently. Rightly one must be endorsed as a connectional , candidate otherwise he is an independent, j uiHiidatt' which rs equivaje a loose kitten rolling in the sand. My private opinion lor aspirants .o continue in tho race'after being defeated by primaries of then -hutch or state, is that they shoulo iirstr prove some irregularity in ,uch meetings, and show where a partial injustice was done unto .nenn. A man qualified for the bishopric must Jiave the greatest espeet tor h's 'vows and moral obligations, *~and this is too well Known with voters at Jthe- general, conference. My expressed opin.011 is not to -discotfrlTge any candidate but to give them anoppdY'-' .unity to qualify if they can. F01 hey will find. any number of vot-l's thinking my thoughts. BISHOI' WILLIAM I).' JOHNSON, I). D. The above prelate has been re.'erred to as being elected to the bishopric without being the standard bearer of -Georgia. But in fthis case we must recover with Vl * t frv/.K. In. - - * /ui iau1/1. if "IIII?>UI1 ?U^ lUl'Illtfl secretary t;' the General Conference and rated among its very oest. This in itself commended tim for the office. Four year? before his election he ran for bis nop, and was left almost at the loor. He knew that President fountain, having l>een defeated| at that General Conference as Jeorgia's standard bearer would defeat him for standard bearer at Georgia's next primary. So as* .c-cretary of the General Conference, he went before his state deleation asking for the endorsement T??connect iun of candidate. P leard his speech afterwards in .vhich he said "I am no Georgia's andidate but I am the connec.ion's candidate." And of course we know the results of that General Conference. But when one -nibtnits-Fis?ease^trr the wrll of a~ primary and loses ,out they will iave to do some quick, heavy hinking to explain to the vot rs their reason for continuing in <,he race. For voters in both the hurch and the government beieve when one. is. defeateed in a primary he should clear the track /or a man that can run. This is I aot my wishes or suggestion but I t is as it is. (To be continued) ieneral Conferrnce Organization Rev. Jesse... E. Beard, State Chairman, Prof. W. A White, itate Vice Chairman, 'Pi'of.

Williams. His work in thbe Stnte-towci s above a IT. He has traveled in every nook and corner and every denominnation here is singing his praise. And while I visited his- home at all times and" stayed there somenights, I have my first time to tell that would make him feel hadly towards. This I published some weeks ago over my signature. I said also with equally as much truth under my signature that no individaul -has ever spoken, against hirh in my church or at any meetings I attended. Now I am whole heartedly with Bishop Noah W. Williams, and if there be any friends mine that are not with him that's there business and though we may be friends but at that point we will divide.

In the course of the sermon the pastor pointed out that darkness and light cannot function at the same time and each give its full results*, One will overcome the other.
