Uu* N"W Vflmini^f ration I have been in the ministry abuut thirty years, and a member of the church a much longer period, and when JLsay that Bishop William Decker Johnson, D.D. saved the old Palmetto State's reputation, and its leaders from errors and disgrace, is to acknowledge that his coming was in keeninc with divine plans "find?-arrfingenients. _ After all, "God moves in i. a mysterious way." Had If" not bei-Ti for Bishop Johnson, the l'oi mer Kpis'copal Administration would have been shot to pieces, and its. supporters cut down like grass. But this God man saved till' 1 OJJII tut I v>ll vi his predecessor, and- saw to it that both friends and enemies of the past, adminis? ...?trntjon viven equal consider^ . ation. And instead of leaving Columbia with dagget's as .we car. ried for each other, we left in .purfect?piuuieliiiHl...hai:intmy. Ev.e_. - ly one saying "Never man spake like this man." His rulings brought peace out. of confusion, light out of darkness, ( And I anv. convinced now more than ever that it takes time, prayer and experience tyith culture and refine.' mint, to make the kind of bishop that is pow in ehaige of the af ;uifs of South Carolina. When it became necessary for him to rule, he did- hot shirk the responsibility, and ask sis to vote-. .AVliy"^ bittyr attacks would have been made on ?: past?transactions, he showed tin necessity for such" procedures to the satisfaction of those taking the initiative. lie owed us nothiiiLr. vet' h,- .-aved lis all, and none ~ol' u> can boast of winning out oven the other] IT Was a "case where right was the plumb line, and the "Golden Rule" was the measurement. And f have riever seen storms cease in such a short time.'and so satisfactorily in all oi my lift*. Bishop Johnson, has been the state talk ever since. Many of whom had decided to tear up everything, and put out everybody arc. praising Bishop Johnson, for his lea a'rship in these matters. And now with no reflection on any man nor criticism on the light ir. which* he saw things ; before, we are now a unit forgetting the past, and throwing our full strength behind the Bishop JohSisotn's program. because we firmly beliefs? that God pad a hand in his comidg to lis. at such a time a* this. To r?,. continued. President Simpson * It. cram simpson,' was- reelected Allen's- head purely on merit. His superior work of foui years continued him in the ser : vice.?lie came to the stato on invi tat ion of the former bishop to save a complex situation at Allen Uni? versity. Simpson has made one of t he btst-presidents in the A. M. K. Church. His work at Allen is ' .next kin to a miracle. Bishop Johnson , saw it at a ghrnce, ant said he saw no reason for Change. Few ha i already served . 'notice, that the Presidency must he changed. Not that" they had any thing against the president, hut the bishop who brought piim. A safe majority stood for Prof. Simpson. This writer was among that number. But th.e final_\vord was left to Bishop Johnson When h" decided in favor-of Simpson there was no further division. So Prof. Simpson will have the unanimous support of the entire state. And with a continuation of his progressive program God onl.\ knows where bur school- will be four' years from no\v. ?~-iT^ - Speech Makers. \ -w In keeping with former custom, when , a new bishop makes his an peai anye, the orators and leaden of tin- State 'take the-opportunity of introducing themselves to him with fine speeches and "addresses. I'm-. T. J. rVIi 1 os in befitting words prcsente'fh Bishop Johnson to th trustees, presiding elders and th< j.iij'.1 andieiiee. Others making tine speeches wer Doctor's E. A. Adam; R.I'i.

GuignaTd. -Dr. Adams, kept on smiling when lie came out of. the hishopric raccat the General Conference same as when he entered. He did npt get angry with everybody as son\e usually do. He kept his friend. :i!:i; made no enemies and the results will be shown in 1940. I)r. , Spears did identically the same thing. Dr. J. S. Benn, did some running, and no one dare dispute it. Dr. J. W. WUherspoon, who had in my .judgement the best protriam of any aspirant for the Chunh Kxtcnsion; immortalized 'himself In'a sermon delivered at the Gefieral Conference. Our bishop was to have preached bur substituted . Dr. Withers poon, and he stirred that body as an ea^rle its "nest. Pi of. W. A. White certain' ly distinguished himself as vicechairman of our delegation. In fact he had tu... do the principal Avor-k as lit. earrL_our..chair man 3 was- a eardidate. The visitors to our headquarters spoke in terms of praise of Prof. White as a presiding oilicor. Like Prof. J. A. Har-1 lis, -11. II. Rikaid, J. B. Beck,- J T. W. Minis, (1. W. Howard and others of that type, Prof. White ?is?truly a leader amonjf tire laity ^ of this state. Dr. R. W. Mance, * , j. is to be highly commended foF" his brave stand in favor of the new administration, and for his valuable assistance rendered the trustee board. Dr. R.' E. Brogdon was chairman of the Committee on Teachers and Dr. J. C. McClellan, secretary. A WonderFuT Team. When the Episcopal Committee assigned Bishop William D. Johnson to South Carolina, we were fortunate in getting a wonderful team. For Mrs. Jotinson, wife 01 the bishop is president of the prayer league. She is a woman of .power. The General Conference recognizes and respects this gifted woman. She is allowed to have a -prayer service daily at the General Conference and her services are .he best items t on the General program. Then again we will have he bishop's son W. D. Johnson, <r., who has successfully, headed .olleges in our Connection. He comes to-us as president of Flip-. pdr-Davis College j in Louisiana, xnd was elected to a chair in Allen University. President John-] -on is among the best platform1 speakers'C4n thjs country. I would put him against any I know, and I know a,, host of them. Prof. Johnson will be a worthy asset to our school and s^ate. Again we vill have the full cooperation of Dr. F. M. Jbhns6rf, "TKe " bishop's' brother, who electrified our meet-j ng with his excellent address last week. Dr. Johnson, is a gifted iospel preacher and one of the nost popular presiding elders of Jur .entire denomination'. Keep .our eyes on sSouth. Carolina with .his wonderful team. Distinguished Visitors. Prof. C. A. Johnson, Supervisor >1" Colored Schools of Columbia, apt. Edgar Smith, of -WaShing| on, D. C. and trustee of Johnson UC?, Smith University, Charlotte,' N. C. > Dr.. J. J Starks, Pi-esidqpb.)f Benedict College, Archdeacon E L. Baskervill were among those j who greeted our nonnion;. and?e4.vhoip we were justly proud. We were reliably informed that the . tbove educators who represented 'olunibia spoke in one word for he re-election of President Sinipon. The bankers and business people of. the city petitioned his etuin. Prof* C. A. Johnson was also, interested and active. This as. true of Dr. Starks. These characters are . rbal " blessings -to m..i tavi.-. LMcepi ror one or two j aves of absence, and blending .he work the entire faculty was ] ctained. Several applications I A-ere received. Some fine physiians applied, but there is absoKut'ely no fault to be found with | Or.' L. M. Daniels. He does his vork to perfection and no Doctor i oulj do any more than that. Resolutions. ' | Dr. R. E. Brogdon, read one ol he best set of resolutions that we have ever heard. They pledged Jishop Johnson and Pres. Simp??the?fullest?eoopo ration oil .he State and were adopted with "oaring apjdau.se. Another ajipro n iate resolution. was read by Dr. r *. E. Beard. Pending the adoption Dr. E. H.

A large congregtion was present to hear our own Evangelic s;c? v* . ? iTiury Austin deliver the message. Selecting her text from St. Jo-hn 5th chapter, subject "'God wants you to be made made whole."
