i i y- > "THE OLD GRAY 1 ?AffD? J THE NEW RIDER";; < a* RJCV. K. PUUXiF KUUtt J J Bishop Flipper The tfalmetto conference which is the largest in the state, and ?"lt? among the greatest in .the A.M.E. connection, was never more inspired in its history than with the addresses of Bishop J. S. Flipper, 1)D.. LLD., delivered at tno threo district conferences held in its territory last week. They w?'re Georgetown, Dr. T. J. Miles, presiding elder; Kingstree, Dr J. L. Benbow and Mt. Pleasant, Dr. J. E. Thomas. Scholarly as he is and being the acknowsedged bestinformed man in the church upon' all subjects, the bishop made no pretense at these meeting of exposing the ignorance of the people by exhibiting his superior prepa~ ration and nualiticntion, but made his visits the greatest help to both ministers and laymembi^rs At _n th^ Georeetown district,' he spoke on "The Preacher". Kingstree district, "The Pastor" and at Mt. Pleasant district^?"The?Church". They were the best we have ever heard. People of all denominations who were in attendance at these meetings said such speeches should be delivered to interdenominaaional religious gatherings in every state in the union. Bishop Slipper has certainly planted himself in.the heasts of the South Ca rolinians, and the Old Palmetto State will give full account of itself with his leadership. He i> indeed a prince" of bishops. . Kingstree District The above meetjfr.& held last ' week was a great success from every angle. Dr. .P L. Benbow wa> at his best as presiding. eld?r. His opening sermon to the conference was a very tine message. Some of - the best ministers of the denomination are members of this district. They are-Revs. K. A. Brown S. M. .Hughes, L. D.

Sampson Brown. J. F. .Tolbert ano H. Murphy. All of the above ministers were, present and paid their full May Day assessments. Some paid out for the year. St. Luke of which the writer is in charge paid its spring assessment in full And desnite its struggle with a parsonage purchased in these times of depression it has t h t notes paid up to date and also the ~~V presiding elder. Dr. Benbow, in well chosen words presented Dr T. J, Miles his. associate presiding elder who conveyed the bishop t< our meeting. The speaker swayed the large audience from the pulpit to the door. In responding Bit Benbow assured Dr. Miles that there-were no "two against oni;" for he was with him. Say what you will but Dr. Miles is the lpadt-r of the Palmetto conference, and is truly a favored son of out state.
