FLIPPER Never have the citizens been f more jmpressexl with a bifehop's ?_ wife, than the people of Charleston were with Mrs. Susie Flipper^ f first lady of-the?African~Metho~~ dist Episcopal church in South Carolina. At the Missionary women reception ht^ld at Mt. Zi'ogl where p. program outlined by Mrs. V, T. Ellis, was rendered, Mrs. Flipper ilanted her self in the hearts of the South Carolinians as chairady of that meeting, and for the compliment, she paid the men and women of this state. Among other commendable tfrngs, she said the 7th Episcopal district had set the ?* pace?-of?the entire? connection. Leaders, who will praise and encourage their followers will receive their fullest cooperation T ' every thin? they undertake. Tor niany would be leaders assume th( role of boss and try To; drive-thosc of whom, they are supposed tr lead. To speak complimentary ol those -over whom they have thr pveiteight, they think it will dos tract from them. While the poo pie follow reluctantly thejjr lead ersh p. they are seeking every ad vantage to rid themselves of sue! an affliction. Like Bishop Flip per, his wife believes that kind ness and not abuses bring results and has not only a vision but one She is truly a Christian woman of the best programs that wa ever given to our denomination The loyal sons and daughters o' South Carolina \|711 pubscrib* whole heartedly to Mrs. Flipper' plans for the state in improv'nj rural and city church buildings am relieving Allen university* of at embarrassing situation.

Green and was sup ported by the districts and con ferences branches of the state. LENTEN SEASON The -Protestant Episcopal churcl and possibly the Catholics are t< be highly oonimended for their strict observances of this special season. Say what you will bul their services conducted on thest occasions are met with great success and are having the desired effect upon the masses of humanity. The fact that Christians oi p every fa. th would seek to establish a more friendly relation witV Cod is an imperative necessity at such a time as ihls. 1 he'young people of the great Methodist and Baptist church indulge in the same pleasures as those of th < Catholicv affit^ffTficopalians despite our disciplines and constitutions. So th< duty of the church is to promote and encourage a season of devotions to God r'n hehalf nf their sim and ours. Iycnten season is significant. It would be a wonderful movement if the Christians, the world over would tune in wit! heaven and earth during this spec i&l season, in so doing ours?wouh. be a paradise. I fear these major denominations lay too much StreSS fin Krrr??A r- ?' 1? revivals, which have become in this lattei day more big August frolics than anything else with no seasons of - prayer before beginning our revivals.
