flft I jI "THE OLD GRAY:! :: ?and? *i. ::THE NEW RIDER";; i: By ? ;; KEV. E. PHILLIP ELLIS <> ??? ? ? ?? "The Uncertainty of Life" The above subject was chosen by Bishop 'William A; Fountain, 1>.L>. iroin which he preached one of the y*cutest sermons at the funeral of Bisrfop William D. Johnson, that was tver delivered upon such an occasion. Text found in the Epistle Ui James 4:14. "TV hereas ye I know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? ju is tven a vapor, that appcareth iv( a little time.'and then vanishits. away." This sermon alone v??s \%urth more than the cost ol use tup from any section in the < connection. It placed the speaker un.oiig the best preachers of the tNicnticih century. ~No wonder the ? meat State of Georgia spoke in one voice for his return to them .01 a 3rd quadrennium. This gift-^ cd orator and scholar would be ___ vc ,1'iiniw' tr> n,ny Episcopal district in his denomination.

Our New Leader South Carolina owes a debt of gratitude to the church fathers for the assignment of Bishop Joseph Simeon Flipper, D.D. as our Episcopal leader, to succeed the ;ate Bishop William Decker Johnson. Already he has endeared1 himself to us by his cordial reception of the state's delegation in Georgia this week, and the wonderful entertainment he arranged for us in the Masonic home at Americus, Ga. He went before us and had accomfnondations provided foy eyei;y South Carolinian who attended the funeral without \ penny's cost. Who ever heard of such kindness on the part" of . a bishop of any- denomination in , the world. There is no ois.hop who has such consideration >f the ministers and lay members V>i? "distrint. that would not .re ! -'eive their fullest cooperation in | ,'verything he undertakes to do on ,he part of that district. We are not only proud to lave the chairman of?the bench >f bishops as our Episcopal leader jut because of his intellectual anlities, his great reputation as a gospel, preacher, and our knowl'dge of him as a champion of ights. He is a fearless leader, ind cvery body will tell you that here is not a streak of hVpocracy o be found in J. S. Flipper. He loesn't say "yes", .when he means 'no." You can depend on what he ells you. He doesn't promise one hing and <lo another. And at no ime is he . like the "Irishman Flrq.II Thais the leadership >outh Carolina, and all the rest of he Episcopal districts need. Yes .vie are more than pleased1 with the oming of our wonderful leader, ind the old Palmetto State will' rive him the reception of his life. He will never regret his coming to is at such a time as this. Our lymn is still, "Uod Moves in a Mysterious Way," <?tc.
