Palmetto Annual
Conference
By Rev. D. N. Wilson
The twenty-fifth annual session
of the Palmetto conference of the
African IVI e t H odist Episcopal
chui-ch will convene in St. Stephen
A. M. E. church, Georgetown, '
S. C., October 21-25, 11)36, with
Bishop J. S. Flipper, D.D., LL.D.,
of Atlanta, Ga., the erudite scholar
and matchless educator, the
fearless champion of a square
deal for.all men, the Lreless work
er, the great gospel preacher presiding
Bishop Flipper came to us
after the death of Bishop Johnson
who was assigned here at the last
General conference that was held
n May in New York. Bishop Flippei;
came with his hand1; v.ntied.
He is in position to cat accor 'inp
-to his own wisdom and judgement. "
FTe has been bishop of this great
church of ours for 28 years and
\vp; the President of Morris Brown
'college in Atlanta, Georgia for
some time. So he will not h-i
to experiment on no man. He
knows men from experimental ,
knowledge. After knowing him
for sometime and hearing the
great outlines he made for the
church and Allen university, I feel
that he will reward every man according
to his merit.* According
to the pluns he laid out in the last
trustee meeting1 in Allen i
sity, I feel that he will save the
school thousands of dollars during .
this quadrennium.
He is a bishop with a vision and
a program for his people. This
being the first conference of the
state, and is known as one of the
best in the whole connection, I
feel assured that it will set the
pace for all of the conferences
So we are inviting the whole state
to come and take note and do
likewise.
