E. pit||.LIP ELLIS \\ 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, i\ow thj i'kdmunt Conference lea or. by acc.ors: J. S. fjenn, J. .C. 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 1 could'thr 0\V IT" rlead elephant by the hind leg. (To be continued.) 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 deh gates and visitors did al. hoy could for Bishop Davis and he .VI. H. Davis was the prince caustias never forgotten them but he if his election, regardless of othei masts of making him. The South Carolina Annual Coniu f'nrrup* . erence-did endorse Dr. Jesse E. Heard 1'cJir the bishopric. It wa; it the conference held in Aike, vhen we were absent because ol in automobile accident. The min itcs of that conference" c?i*obrate.-nis^ contention and might I say nere was none more proficient it. hat conference than Dr. Jesse E. Hoard. T mentioned this as a mere natter of keeping the recoro straight. *> * /1 t State Reporter Writer has been duly elected the rop??-tnr and hi,s report^ lave been in strict keeping witi loings of the state meetings. 1'hose meetings determined the tandard-biarer and I published lis name. The state meeting hrough a resolution asked for the eturn of the presiding bishop anc I released that. Personally I igned for the return of Bishop N'oah W. Williams and. I mean o work with the delegations foi Jishop Williams' return. Of a ? lishop is to be moved because . very minister in his district was lot satisfied with his appoint ncms then you will have to move ill of them. Should Bishop Wiliams go else-w'here now, it wil. ilways be said that he was driver iut of South Carolina. And I am uic tlicit win DC buniu rcgumeulation to carry with him to a new listrict. The host of loyal laymen and ministers?compassing .his. general conference delegation .sill be able qualified and sqfficent to take care of the'SOyenth episcopal district at New York in day. So I am advising still? "Let us advance on our knees." SWANSEA NEWS April 12, 1936?A special Eas-er-and?ThanKsgivdng sermon was " reached for the Sisters and Bros, f Qharity at the M. E. Church, ;t.

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 WifV? ilu.cn wc innn ll\r " IWI J ' 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. \alius as. ends within themselves rath.r than as means to ends, the tendency to see nothing bevoiul the social and humanitarian for. 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 VND SONS lL HOME n nd Senate Sts.) -Columbia, S.

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 this question in the negative or in the nffimm#9 i r ...mvi *w . A^r\jn t uurn the bridge any longer over which we have uiusmhI. Elect bishops if needed, but ar bove all let us try to supply some of the great needs which strike at the very vitals of our church. ? paine college chorus gives second annual performance of "the ciu cn-rxioN^ for Augusta, (la.?On Easter Sunday al't- rnoon the Paine ^ college chorus gave its second annual performance of Sir.
