Far too many candidates, and . especially for conectional honors . seem to think that it is a shame or a disgrace to be defeated, This is true relative to state and de. nomination. But they are sadly mistaken. When an applicant fails Ill ill! VAUIIIIIUUIUU It Id UCVOUdC Ul, inefficiency of some kind on his part. Now this is not tiffie in the Case of one who is "not chosen for bi hop "or general officer in a denomination.?Tha?failure comes _ Irom the scarcity of positions. For instance, in all probability ops at the A.M.E. General Contnree persohs will'be. chosen bish. - lerence in New Ynrk next May. 1 here wilt Be about . sCVCIliy-fttV or more applicants of which at Uast half ot that number wouiu 4 . niaae good bishops. But you see thniy-iive or more persons cannot be ,juaeed in positions where "only t hreV are "needed. " Not only have 1 seen men defeated equal to those elected, but I have s'een inferiors I tn 1113* judgment-chosen over su"pcrims. Things- just happen that way. So men need not fall out with their friends, censure theii enemies, and probably end up in death because they are not electee, billions or general officers. Iht trutn is. everybody cannot be such ollicers. Alter all every place in tiuil s church is a seat of honor. J list* brighten the coVnor where you are; and your reward will be a home on high.

Last week we iaid a deal o 1 blame for the failure of revivals ??? amoiitf Nterroes at the door of the evangelist tor his' lack uf a pin gram, this Sve still maintain. Btrt?our - colored congregations come in for a large portion of tin idame for the lack of sacrifice, . and consecration. First, Sacrifice.. I eion't know cif a single Negro 1 church that will aaise the money or a greater portion to meet the ' Tjxpetise of'the revival prior to its f 'H- ticc '> < j|i"iiev lirok lem at every servie^fmJ5troys tbe elfect, on both saved and unsaveel, and?Hrrthcmurre it almost paralyses the evangelist in ^s efforts A I 'cnollv nui to do fll veuve, hui i\. ?_ method is to begin with a prayei service which oltimes terminates into a good meeting. Following this we take collections 'at tin close of which-our church service becomes a cold storage. The evan? gelist is then presented when ah the Christians1 feel like going homo.' and sinners too. And so fai as the Holy Spirit is* concerned he is clear out of the church. So the labors of. the evangelist a' mount to but very little. Now it _our people will have a revival in the .churches such as will ?save our-soils and daughters, they have to"make first of all a financial sat mice to pay for it. Then again they will have to reconsecrate the'iiTse-lvcs to Cod irr the-interest-. irf "lost sou Is. Hut m these days we find things are nut being don in this manner; and . J'et we cal. ourselves looking, forward to revivals of soul saving. They wi?: never come; and we are as muci to blame for our lack or coo per a tion, as the evangelist for his lack ' ?of-program. --?
