I praroLDGWf V " ' i-AND- ;; THE NEW RIDER":: :: REV. E. PHILLIP ELLIS BISHOP FLIPPER IN CHARLESTON Last. Sunday will be a day of lony remembrance in the City of Charleston. Bishop J. S, Flipper D.D., the newly assigned head of the A.M.E church in South Carolina was RUest of the city aph preached at Emmanuel, Morris Brown and St. Luke,, pastored by 1 - I)rs. J. E. Thomas, J. W. Witherspoon and the writer respectively ' At these services nearly every faith of the 70 ? Id churches weft represented. And now the pcopli all "over Charleston are saying Bi hop Flipper can say more in a 15 minutes sermon than any man They?have?ever?heard?living?tudcad. If anybody is disposed ti brand this statement as false 1 invite them te confer with an. minister or laymen in Charlestor who; attended these services. Bap , tist, Episcopalian or what. He de ? 1 ivnri'i 1 the sermon at the funera of the late Dr. M. A'. Hollins n eleven mintftes at the do?e of which the entire audience was af focted. I have never seen anothe like him. Not only every soil tenec hut every?wm-H miints i' <t. . his sermons. One sustains a grea' loss when he misses an .ppportu nity to hear Bishop Joseph Simeo: Flipper, senior bishop of th< great A. M. E. denomination an* the most '^acceptable leader o' South Carolina. ANNEAL CONFERENCES The series of A. M. E. confer en.ces in this state will begin witl St. Stephens church, Georgetown Rev. D. X. Wilson, pastor and Di T. J. Miles, presiding elder Thb is the Palmetto conference whirl usually sets the pace for the othe five Having a new Bishop even pastor wants t0 bo recommende* to him by his report. The sanu is true of the congregation. S< every member in all of the church es-in this state "should pay "dollar . money" this year and. every other claim. Not only is the pas tor's reputation at stake but thaof thp nfllPOlVC" ii Ftrl mnntKnne nlc^ . This is the time for'..every church congregation to shine. Its a cas< .of..sustaining its reputation. Foi the master said "By. their fruit ye shall know them". "Please lei * every Palmetto Leader subscribei pay us when we meet .your re spective conference. . .'' \ A GREAT CONVENTION No one can do justice to thi 1 Kingstree district Sunday school convention and ?ail to speak ol the fine demonstration work upon) the black board by Dr. J. W. With) erspoon, pastor of Morrig? Brown church. Charleston, the invited guest of the presiding elder.- I have never seen anything to ex cell it. Dr; Witherspoon is s wonder and his Congregation hifc ? at its heads one* among the fev such- pastors in our denomination The games and music by Mrs. Ruth Dinkins was one of the interesting features of convention. "And how to use your spare time'1 a subject discussed by Mrs. M. B j Benbow was simply fine. Rev. R. M. McClam,. pastor gave us a wonderful entertainment, and is to he congratulated on the arrangements. "WHAT WRONG HAVE WE : . DONE" If tile church sends a bad bis-' hop to preside over an Episeopa' district we can but- do nm< dm* until he is- removed. In a cas< whore we have the facts at oui I command to prefer charges a J gainst that prelate we should do so at the proper time and place Its sinful to undertake to snub and humiliate a man because he stood * by and defended the bishop who was sent to preside over him. We promised on entering the ministry that we would reverently obey oni chief pastors, etc. I supported Bishop Noah W. Williams, with my voice and pen just li?e did al the others of which every man and woman in this state will at test. I am goine to support Ris_ ? ? . hop Flipper just like I rest, but the unreasonable thing is, that those who were against Bishop Williams are against those of us who stood by him. This writer has been censured for writing of him as n wrpnt V,iaVvr>r? A.m -i-? yet some have been reading the same reserved or preserved resolutions for all the bishopg every since Noah left the ark. From Bishop Richard Allen to the pres-< ont bishops; now what's the difference. The-well kept resolutions say the same things about them all. My wife is the greatest woman to me because she is mine. The same is true relative to piy children. And to all whom' it may concern my bishop is the greatest off all bishops to me. That may not he true with those who find t occasion tu ro Trnt'^TTKeir way To make unpleasant references to "The Old Gray" for the statement. f am speaking for myself. And what is true with me may or may not be true with them. And if supporting my bishop is a crime this writer will continue to commit them whether he be official reporter or a self, appointed one. All of the papers will get the news. I)R HOLLINS PASSES All that was mortal of Dr. M. A. Hollins was laid to rest last Tuesday, the 0.
