Before he held a.single quarter \v?
stated in our column that Dr
Thom.w was my presiding eldei
for five years on the Abbevilk
fine presiding oflficer. He stays
with his pastors as a big brothel
and seeks every opportunity tt
promote them. Then too, he encourages
his~ congregation and
draws them to him instead of
< riving them away. So all who
Jiave spoken to me since his assignment
varified what I wrote of
bim. That Rev. J. C. James i:
bringing things to pass at Ebene7.er
church the records will prove.
He is a demonstration of Bishop
Flipperr's doctrine of giving the,
people the pastor they want. Say
what you will l/ut there Is not a

that's having greater success
than Rev. J. C. James.

EMMANUEL A. M. E. CHURCH
Rev. R. E. Brogdon, Pastor
Charleston?An early morning
rain on last Sunday caused us to
feel deeply concerned relative to
our church services. Before the
hour for the morning worship
came the rain ceased and we
wended our way to the house of
worship.
A full and glorious day begun
at eleven o'clock. The rostrum
was beautifully decorated with
flowers by the ladies of the Pulpit
A Li The pastor'and his aides
seated thereon gave an atmosphere
of deep reverence. At the usual
time, Rev. Brogdon arose, greetra~K
is congregation am> then se*lected
his te^t from the thirtyseventh
chapter of Ezekiel, ninth
verse?Then said he unto me
"prophesy unto the wind, prophesy,*
son of man, and say unto the
wind", etc. The minister's theme
was "A Spiritual Revival". This
sermon really was on ?ory bones
in the valley," only treated from
a different subject or theme. Tolay
our ministers are taking the
place of prophets of old and are
prophesying to the world. It is
or us to give heed to these admonitions
and be npt like the Israelites.
It was a warning0 and
awakening sermon and .was heard
by a-splendid au.'ience.
The International Sunday school
lesson Was indeed inspiring and
nstructive. One hundred and
seventeen scholars were present
on last Sunday afternoon-aside
from teachers and visitors. The
lesson was vory impressive anj
widely discussed. Rev. and Mrs.
Brogdon are very active in this
department of the church which
means so much to us. A very interesting
and timely paper was
read by?Mr. R. E. Gadsdep, one
of the ushers and a member of
our junior choir. The subject from
which he wrote was-"How" To Become
A Christian'', taken from
the subject of one of our recent
lessons. Mr. Gadsi.en acquitted
himself creditably and was complimented
by the pastor, superintendent
and others.
"Cl/.jist enlightens the minds
of his disciples," was the subject
from which the pastor delivered
the evening message. VSt. Luke
d4r;'JV reads, "Then oporrwidie- their
understanding, that they may understand
the Scriptures." Od?
minds and hearts were opened
while the glad tidings were proclaimed
by this mighty expounder
of the gospel. This great sermon,
closed "cut another joyous day
in Zion. During the day many
visitors were piescnt. We were
in feed glad to have a group of
fv yov.'tjr rv wis VaiV.T. frohi
Chicago. Local visitors were present
also. Remember that a hearty
welcome ewr/ts all who may
come.
On b sb Monday night a Candle
Lieht' Service was sponsored
by Stewardess Rgard No, 2, Mrs.
M. J. Alston, president. -A pif>
irram was had and our junior chAr
rendered several selections. /
