E. of Charleston, state superintendent of Sunday schools have outlined a program for these meetings sec? ond to none of any denomination. ? Every Sunday school teacher and officer together with league workart should attend thii conventioni \ ' 4 ~r~. SCHOOL OR THE. CORN FIELD The ministerial seminar to bo cnnrtncUti, at?Allen university t.hi> 26 through the 29 of this m^nth is the best undertaking, in the history of the African Methodist Epis copal church in South Carolina. Every denomination in this state has been holding similar institutes for ministers irrespective of their religious creed, ottering like ae--~~C6mmodation&. Tine so have been carried on for years, and quite a have attended Them.. How the A. M. E. church in this state could ifcpgaaa With such. So.l o^U oC R.ethods for its ministers with all of the other denominations fostering them is a puzzle to explain. To say That its ministers are better trained?than -those of other churches ih an untrue statement. some of our preachers are of the sorry sort whejo it corned to efficiency. And tc my mind a church does an injustice to its preachers in having them hollering all over rh? counti y .raising education"- mwrey to educate the pews above ?them, and do not -make it possible for them to learn anything i..:. when the per creatures know practically nothing. Aside froth the college preparation of the "public school teacheiHi- fhOy ^have their state teachers' rttTsoaatloTy and yearly institutes continuing from 6 to 9 weeks, where they receive the best instructions. A . minister trying to entertain these classes of people with no school advantages is almost a funny j^ke oe he A. in. t,. preacher or those of any other denomination. Now that Bishop J. S. Flipper has come to South Carolina and made it possible for the ministers of our church to be better informer! along the ' lines of their prafessi'on, at Allen university, July 2G-2f>, there remain- only two- thin gsHrrr them to do. Either get their railroad fare and attend this school so as to stay in the ministry, or -lc'main at home and make arrangements for a yoke of oxen. For the people have decided that they must have a better prepared ministry. Now that we are gett?ri? our " "baard and lodging - froe at this ministerial institute at Columbia, the A. M. E. preachers can make a choice between school and the cornfield. Among the best instructors in our denomination will be in charge of the ministerial Beminar. They are Drs. J. E. Beard, head; R. E. Br^gden, E A J Adams, R. I. Tyemon and~^T. "W7 Murph. -hectares b,7 Bishop and Mrs. J. S. Flipper, President F,. ir vf/.r'Jii i ?i-?I ?_ done in our Sunday schools and leagues today is almost a reflec' tion upon this intelligent age. Many of the good workers in those departments are perfectly willing to work but they don't know h^w. " It ?s .imperative for them?to ntteiul thijs meeting so -as to be taught how to present the lesson text to their pupils. Only a few of the public school teachers among colore*! people attend any kind of Sunday school. A?nd few" or III will accept the position of teachers. So the Sunday schools, and leagues will have to use what they have. But with a period of ( instructions every year_.givwng free | bCard and lodging as is being done ; at Allen university this year, the church can niako wood SunHau .school unci league workers out ;if what it has. livery Suhday school and league workers should take ad i vantage of the state meeting in l Columbia this year President McGill One of South Carolina's great. est smin'isi'-i?u?the?r ecu id?made ov Dr. McGill, as president ot Allen university. On conn'ng L -ui?tins?Episcopal district . Bishop 1 J. S. 'Flipper sustained the state s contention that it was time f^r a South. Carolinian to head, our institution. When his opinion was .made known, quite a few compeient candidates aspired for the ' post. Finallv it was concluded coat an alumnus of Allen should oe elected. This of course elinij. a ted some very tine talents. At ii..-t the racefnarrowed " ttr two :_o?illiant 30ns of the college. Had the* voters been privileged t? put two named on their tiekes both would have been given equal support, for both were good men. But as a choice had to be made be- j iween the two, some voted for the Iircscnt Incnmlmnt ...till,. I4- - v t?sv MOIMVIIW H UJUV UII1C1 O : supported the other candidate. The I supporters ef the present_head j Were 'divided in purpose. Some believed he would make tjood while - others?thought?the school?would'lie quicker under him than irr-t+TCT nands of any uue else.. Bhe lattei class did not want to part with the former, president. But that Dr. McGiU's year's work has been one of the best in the history <>f thy school, all of- us have bidden the*- past farewell forever, buried th,/ hammer and the handle, and now Allen's president . is not the president of those supporting him ! the "first time but the unanimous ' vote of those supporting him last | ?omnn*.icement. He Won his spurs and a failure to give him 100 percent support w<>nld be a r eflection u| on us. We may_still have cause to differ with him in some of his' opinions, but his record and report at the last trustee hoard meeting rated him among the best presidents in the A. .M. K. church. I'ndertaker Fielding's Bereft W hen the late Mrs. Sadie CJillianl Feiidiug passed to her filial re waul here Monday, July 11 our entile racial group sustained a .'rout loss.

She and her husband were supporters of, The Palmetto Leader. Her's was sttmttg?the - largest and ?*mhb-se'uneraL we have ever attended. While the sad rites were "at her late rBsulenc'e; amplifiers were installed all over the building, yard and* on the streets, so that the speakers could dbc easily heard at aTTy "place in ~tT'o"yard or on trie" streets. Minister s : representing various" denominations attended the service. Those appearing on program were Revs. R. S. Law ene.e, C. S. Ledbetter, B. F. Bradford and ?the writer." Impressive I remarks were mjtjle by Rev. S. H.j Scott whs visited the deceased irTj her illness. Rev. Calvin C. Reynolds, pastor of the late Mrs.! F/eldings, delivered one of the, most appropriate funeral address we have ever heard. It was onlv ten minutes but made a profound impression, and was highly commended by the lfri'gf audience. Aside from her dtfvotcd husbatid the deceased left three boys', one daughter, other relatives and hundreds of friends to mouf/i her passing. The Union ' ! "The Old' Gray" has been indisposed for moro than three weeks. Hence wc were unable ts report the doings of the above confer, once. It gives us pleasure however to state that the yearl,, closing of the alliance was indeed grand. Dr. J. E Beard's address on "How to develop leadership in the Church" was a masterpiece. Rev.
