"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. He is no
ooss nor driver but is congenial
antj plays the part of a great big
p. oilier to all of his ministers.

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. '
The Old Gray Commended
Wo take this method of expressnp
our sincere appreciation to
Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, for
the compliments. paid us on our
many releases through the- Palnietto
LeadeS* Column. Bishop
Ransom, who is one of the most
mtstanding leaders of our racial
group irrespective of denomination,
is a staunch supporter of the
Leader, and never fails to read
"The Old Gray." We want to'aU

Oteen as scheduled for a special
broadcast service through the gov rnment's

Colson and hs staff and shortly
after their- arrival in the studio
he service began. Many thanks
were expressd by the mmbers of
he stafT^Toii-this forty-five minutes
service which was up to the
minute ih every respect. Our pas*
.or was asReiT to remain and asof
the Lord's Supper to the patients
in that vast institution but
found it impossible because of his
own pressing church duties on that
clay. Large conveyances were sent
by the government to take the entire
choir to and from the hospif
tal. They were asked to return
again very soon.
' Father-hood'' corustitutctl the
Subject of the pastor's menoage-atthe

To the evening- service there
gathered a large audience despite
I th|e threat of train. "Deborah?
"The LeSdCV"" was chosenas a sub-~'
ject by our pastor taken from
Judges 5:7., Again, many visitors
shared in the worship.
Our rally effort came to closa.
at the evening service and great'
joy and success came as the twenty
captains made their reports.
This etfort has been in course for
only six weeks and the results
were very pleasing. The pastor
v'ommended the captain and the
membership for therir for- labor
cooperation. '
All plans have been perfected
for, our annual revival m(efeting
