THE PL'LPIT AND THE PRESS
A question that has provoked
the most helpful discussion is,
"Which is the most powerful in in*
lluence the pulpit or, the press.'
In renlv I must confess that whili
both are powerful the pulpit is
without an equal in the world and
the press comes next But when
the pulpit is taken advantage of
to censure and redieule the occupants
of the pews, to denounce in
an abrupt manner the false of the
people and to assume the roll of a
boss and . driver and spurn the
eouncle of its parishoners and to
turn a deaf ear to helpful advice
coming from friends and well
; wishers the pulpit loses its dig
. nity, power and influence and tin
once packed auditoriums dw^tidle
downVjo bakers dozens. That is
. -true as. it. relates to the. press.
When nVwspaper matter is so
. coarse and corrupt, cqmmon and
distasteful people express disgust
for and stamp' their disapproval
on the publishers and look upoi
them with disrepcct. .'People, ol
pure hearts and intellegety. numb
investigate td secure cleairlirera
.tuYe of an educative nature. The>
want oeautuul sentences, fine
phrases and choice English. And
unless released matter come up t<
such a specimen leaders of. power
and influence will never read it.
Intelligence will never subscribe to
a paper where the sentiments expressed
are clothed in worse Tanguag'e
than they h ar in the slum.*
of the city or at gambling parties
' in the country. Could you imagine
the supervisor of colored schools
in Columbia, the principals of the.
1 igh s.hoo.s ot tins state, tng presid.n.s
and professors-of our- colT
leges expressing themselves in sue!
language as r.o paper in the world
c:uid aflord to publish? They
*CvUld r.'ut occupy such .impuitam
1 os.t ons. The wo Jj is demanding
men and women of high ideals t<
teach their children, i*uch wih
command the respect of both races
Un the other rand men may have
college degrees but if they are cup
? c^utn in tnc.r , expression^ then
ccnv^rsat.ons and writings, the^
w,ll be none otnep. than educated
1 tiamps with no jobs and with no
one wanting thcni. At this intellectual
age of-the world if onewili
make a convincing argument it
must avoid abuses, slandering and
iiiuu.-MioKWig.
"Don't Rock The Boat"
South Carolina is famous lor. unfrot?king
bishhops and yet she has
? no.t been able t-o take .thv <g
a single one. At St Louis, Mo. an
tarmy led by a modern Pharaoh
went .to.that general conference
with a detirminatjori to unfrock
the presiding bishop of this state
before the general conference \va>.
oiganized. But on the convening othe
body that bishop instead of being
unfrocked led his comrades anoj
.the entire delegation in the 01 gam-1
zation of that general conference.
The leader of the movement then
swore that the South Carolina bis
. hop would be disqualified to presid*.
over that body when hi?~da?- came.
But instead of presiding one day
Hocking bishops and yet she h^s
tnan ail of the bisehops of that
general eorrtvr-eneer The-?nex,
news given out then was that, in
the event that that bishop come
oacK to tnis state he would b?.
nanucuffed as soon as he got to
Columbia. That bishop returnee
anu was given a royal welcome to
the city. The r>ex,t decree was
mat tne Piedmont Annual Conference
must be detached from South
Carolina and attached to Norti.
Vaionna. But this like all the
i est Went in. default. The conclusion
ol the wvlvole matter was thai
? .-very minister that followed the
sdi styied great leauer haj to go
be.ore tneir respective annual com
. ^icncis and maae apologies* The
young'men gave nmfoTabie excuses
in that tncy saul they were
woeiu.ly n.i. leu by the oluer ministers^
Many ol the older mini
bte.s ack'nvw.euged tnemselves to
rave betn toois and others confessed
lhat tney told will'ul lies,

C,ua.iMa ana J. ti. Jennings presiding
elders is almost leading thi
state. My iTien-s who are disposed
to lolow such a leadership,
as named above mUy see their way
clear, Therefore 1 have no advice
to give .them or abuse them but
as lor roe I would not follow such
a leadership an inch further than

Election of Bishop Sims
its-a bit amusing Lb hear ol. the
many wno ciuim a pare ut me
credit for the election of the lit.
Rev. David 11. Siiffs to the bishopric
four years ago. In fac1
everybody had a hand in his ela
vat ion to let them tell it. Delegates,'alternates
and spectators
The^ latest information is that ol
his private secretary. I regard this*
news though late interesting indeed.
It might be somewhat late
too for me to say that I communicated
with chairmen of, publicity
committees in nearly all of the districts
in the connections. These let
ters Dr. Sims read before he left
Columbia for the general conference
together with the answersreceived
from them, I am sure
Bishop Sims appreciates even now
the aid he received from his many
friends at Cleveland, Ohio. I feel
afe to Bay that Bishop Sims Lj
willing to acknowledge with grao
titude the part each played in his
elevation. Bu.t the truth is Bishop
Sims played the loin's share
in his own election. In other words
he came near electing: himself than
anybody else^ When he"spote aT
the Bishop's Council at Tampa,
Fla. his election was a foregone
conclusion. As president of Allen
University he had made the proper
contact. Sims had , what the
church wanted. He had the qualification,
the gift of oratory and
was a preacher of no mean reputation.
Don't be misled to believe
that the great bishop maker elected
Sims. Sims elected Sims.
Bishop Monroe H. Davis
All South Carolina* including
this writer voted for Bishop Davis
at Chicago, 111. and none of us regret
his elevation. But he would
have been elected without a single
Cote from his home state, ^e had
enough votes to spare ours anc
then would have had a majority.
lhe secret of is election is firs,
th'erii was a man running. Ther.
ic was a prince when it came to
making friends. His brother-in
law and" manager, Dr. Coosey wa.
i real expert in handling the delegation;
and while the South Caroina

PARAMOUNT NEEDS OF THE
curRen
Ity I{ev. R. L. Lemon
AVi are living in a time when
the church perhaps for the most
imi t ik .thinking in terms of his- _
hops' elections only. I am not
against the election of more bishops.
if heeded, but I Think- it?is" ~
i;h tine to begin to think and
act in terms of sortie of our most
fundamental needs.
I fear that our church needs out
"of" response to the -demand of this
age a greater emphasis oh rt>inistrial'
preparation and an ade-quate
provision }for the same.
There are so many things, so
many tendencies which challenge
the church,, which challenge can
only be met by an?all around
trail'..d ministry. The,' pt\vs are
being highly educated in -both
urban, and rural centers and as
such it takes at rained pulpit 10 "
catch and hold the attention of
hose educated pews. Much of
the criticism relative to the inactivity
of tlu educated hoy and girl
in .the church ignores the 'fact
. ha|L such inactivity is motivated
not only by the type of education
they receive in school but by the
nubility of the pulpit to keep pace

Boys and girls in many schools are
4*i i t ir.jr a fair knowledge of the
Bible and as a result they -know
when we are misrepresenting the
truth and ewry misrepresentaTT?>n
of truth has a tendency to
create, within those in the pews
".ess iv>poctTTor the' . supposodbr givi
rs "i f Biblical truths.
On tlve other hand, there ' arc
i h*>: ! who?aro-?earning nut o! _
school wit.li a pseudo-scientific
.chowlcdge and little if any knowledge'
of religion, theoretical 01
personal. For them religion and
science hot married but are
two parailed lines which never
.meet. To hold to one is to get
rid of the other. Because they
cannot put religion inter scientrfir- .test
tube and analyze it as th.uy
can any particle 6F matter they "
lave a tendency to confide in
science as the ultimate reality.
They cannot grasp the truth that
to analyze a thing does not explain,
nor account for the arrival
of the thing analyzed. Such an
explanation lies in the "Eternal
First <latino" which their scientific
circle is not wiue enough tg include.
. They see nothing beyond
the atoms, the electrons and the
mokcules which are left unexplained
and meaningly without
God. ,
This ti ndoncy of the pseudo^cicjntists
is a challenge to the
uhurch w'nich can be met and off
set by a trained ministry which
our church in a way is not prepard
to give, r
?'I'h- communistic i tendency. _
which puts faith in the material.

tendency to see nothing bevoiul

ccs constitute a challenge to
Christianity whieh calls for ministers
not only with consecrated
1; arts but trained minds as,well,
if the church and Christianity arc
not to sutfer, at the. hands cl
these unwelcome competitors. J
Clink tbe wiritor of the article in
November 10, 11)35 issue of the
'"Lit rary Digest" under the
Captain "Paganism's Challenge to
Christinity" is right in this statement
"It must be .recognized that
J the Christian religion has more
competitors than it ihad in the
nineteenth century."
Our church notwithstanding tin
fact that it has done much along *
the -line of training its ministers.
I feci that it needs to stress ministerial
efficiency more and make
gwtaUor -pr-oviiiion _ for .the. same, jf_.,
it is to nn et well the challenge of"
this new age. The best way that
this provision can be made is by
establishing a connectional theological
school not in name as
these we have, but in reality ip

ed to enter and to make as thorough
a preparation, to do so as
those entering, other professions.
Bishop Noah W. Williams caught
the vision splendor as is evident
by the-strong articles he writes
from time to time on the necessity
of having such a conneetional
Theological School that will
match the great schools for ministerial
training in this country. ,
Will this coming General Confer- [
enee do anything about this great
need of our Church? It remains
to be seen.
While it is a fact that the
church is bringing many souls into
the kingdom. I fear also that
soul salvation as the supreme end
of tho church is not receiving ?great
enough emphasis. Because ?
of the apparent over emphasis,
on other things which have for
the most part instrumental. rather
'than intrinsic values.
madd to believe that souls salvation
is secondary and not primary.
? Regardless?of what individuals
may say about over production
and under consumption, rapid increase
in Scientific inventions
which displace manpower by machines
and other alleged causes o>f
tfho mess in which we find ourselves
it must be recognized that
the main cause is our failure to
send Jesus into the lives of men
everywhere. When he is given the?
right of way in the lives of men
everywhere, everything will be
tested by his philosophy of life
which will bring a* real new deal . .
to the world. "African Methodism"
the church in general, I
hope is emphasizing soul salvation
as never before, as its ehief?ob?-?
jectivv, but it needs a greater emphasis
if we hope to tranform
this world of "mess" crimes, wars.
racial discrimination and- other
evils into a "New Jerusalem" on
earth.
May I before closing call attention
to.tho great need of those old jworn
out" ministers, who held
hi<rh the flag of "American Methodism"
before their age and
health called to a halt their activity.
Will the church continue . .
its policy of setting these men asido,
to perish when their age and
health called to a eomplet halt
their~ act 1 vity'! Will this coming
"General Conference" answer
