His many friends insist
that, "vou can't tro wrri'mr voting

.ill African Methodism still occu"
pies the space of the blacksmith
shop where the fathers first met
and initiated the great A. M. E.
Church. So there is something in
perpetuating landmarks. The Iiible
is full of them. Since the
space numbered G.Sl Pine Street
is .the landmark of the DeparLljients
of African Methodism, why
not.go back to the. home base and
stay Or, why not elect a man
with a plan to give the Connection
an improved plant, like the
Sunday School Union, and free ic
of debt within a~ reasonable period
?
2. The reduction of the operating
expenses of the Book Concern
to the connection and in the mean
time^make it a REVENUE DEPARTMENT
to the A. M. E.
Church.
Almost without a single exception,
every business concern seeks
to" reduce or entirely eliminate
from the actual operating expenses
that which proves?a, liability to.
the maintenance and development
of the bus.ines?. It doesn't require
a convincing argument to
the average delegate for him to
see that no organization would advocate
abandonment oy merger of
any of its Departments whose op
I k W"'H <c.^ CI Wi i v. ? v. ?i V4C_
to the organisation. ? :?
If privately owned business
plants can be operated in small
and-large , towns and cities, depending
solely upon the public for
upkeep; what should be expected
of the Book Concern, backed by
more than a million members, who
are anxiously awaiting an energetic
salesman to bring the Department
to them? And, especially
when his salary comes from
another Department.
3. The returns from the celc- j
bration of the founding of this
great church could not be better
spent than to support the fathers
who give their lives to the ministry,
and their widows and children
whose sufferings are indescribable.
This should be done in course
of time. The fact that Founder's
Day is becoming less and less in
teresting to the membership, ar-~
gues that its program and purpose
-weed?be changed;- and too, since j
.the Department has been in operation
longer than any Negro plant
in America, and still is not selfsupporting,
neither owns .its present
home, it is time to spend the
Founder's Day returns where they
will benefit the masses.
4. Reduce the subscription cost
of the Recorder, the purchase
price of the DlscipTTfuT ami Hymnals
-by one-third (1-3) and other
books and supplies to compete
i with other publishing houses.
|? The above proposition Jbay,_not
sound plausible at a glance, but
reflect. You can purchase almost
any articles, church supplies and
paraphernalia at less cost from
I other houses and with far prompter
service, than you can from our
own Department. This should not
be. Since the membership has

"The Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away, blessed be the
name of the Lord."
Tijesday afternoon,. April 7,
the cold hands of death removed
frbm our midst, and membership
an invalubale member, Mi's. E. P.
Brew who was an active member
or-yiduL-agn before- her-cmifiiidmoiii
to bed. She was a faithful member
of the ushers board, member
of choir, secretary, of S?S and an
active piembef of the A. C. E.
League. ?
|Mrs. Brew is the 22 yvar old
daughter of Mrs. Dora Pearson
and the late Mr. Nelson Pearson
wh<r preceedvd her to the grave
several years ago. Her husband,
Mr. Robert Brew was true and
faithful to her ever since theii
marriage about a year and 3
months up to her departure. Mrs.
Biew is a young lgjdy?of deep
piety and Christian consecration.
Her lift* wak one of cheerfulness
and kindness. The vacinity in
which she lived was blessed because
of her thougiitfulness and
ministerics. There was no question
in her mind as to her salvation.
Bhfi was truly one of God's
| taints.. She passed quietly in full
knowledge of her going and was
not afraid.?It is indeed, "blessed
to die in the Lord" as Mrs. Bvcnv
did. We niiss her everywhere.
Mrs. Brew's funeral was held at
Union Station A. M. E. Church
Thursday, April 9, 2:00 p. m. The
pastor, Rev.-L. W. Gary officiat
ing, assisted by the following
ministers: Revs: A. P. Spears, J.

to pay the >vhale bill for operating
expenses of the Connection, why
shouldn't it get_ something in return
without an enormous extra
cost? 100,000 subscribers to the
Recorder and 300,000 regular customers
to tne Department, with
all orders mailed promptly sho.:l;T
he the uncompromising pledge of
the management oT that Department,
if it's .to be an asset to the
connection.
5. Give more space in the Recorder
' for expressions font the
connection's constituents, by cataloguing
annually and mailing
over the connection the fame, instead
of using so much space-for
simple advertisement.
Much delay in the publication of
articles comes because .the' space
is taken up with simple advertisements
thai should appeal-, in a
catalogue. Then too, most business
houses send out a catalogue
annually.
- 'Men and women who put their
very souls into the church, and are
her ardent supporters, should be
privileged to express themselves
thru--her organs withrrtTTTinduTrtle-"
l?y which "could be avoided.
We are confident that if you
will carefully consider the FIVE
PLANKS stated above, and the
interest, growth and perpetuity of
our \Zion, you -will join with us or
let us join in exchange of votes
for your candidate and elect this
worthy man to manage the Book
Concern.
