F% Bishops' Council | held at Kittrell College last week and the Connectional Council, plus the-.Convocatronal Convention _ot~ the Second Episcopal District, were among the best meetings ever held in the history of our great denomination. My honest opinion is that thosd who attend"ed these meetings were inspired as never before. There seems to be perfect harmony among the church fathers and that's a good example for both ministers and lay-members of our Zion. We were informed that Bi-shop J.. S. Flipper was excellent as a pre^ siding qfiirpr and his speech at the opening session pf the Convocation swept the entire audience. Bishop D. H. Sims was Teal fine in his addressee Tuesday and Wed nesday' evenings. He is an- ac?!_ knowledged orator. Bishop-W. A. Fountain's addi ess~Ws~~the talk of the Convention. He is certainly an entertaining speakev. Bishfip ' H. Y. TooJ^es was at his best in responding to the welcome ad- , dresses the night of the reception. We learned by Bishop Tookes' reply that Bishops were in accord with the sentiment of electing five ! additional Bishops in 194GL .and.; that they acted favorably on the I unification of Colored Methodist < denominations. We wore appoint- * ed by Bishop M. H. Davis to re- ' port the doings of his Convoca viuu una nence we are simply giving a brief account of the two ; Councils. Connectiona] Council j With Dr. V. M. i'ownsend hrari ; of the above Council presiding, it appeared that the meeting was quite a success. General Manager O. E. Curry captured the Coun- . cil in his explanation relative to, his wonderfcrTTecord made at the; Book Coh?,ern. General Secretary 1 L. H. Hemingway roceived numer- 1 ous congratulations from both min 1 istdrial nnd lay upon his most excellent beginning in the Church ' Extension department. President ' A. Fountain of Morris Brown 1 College of Atlanta made the hit 1 of his life in his matchless ad- .1 dress delivered before the Coun- ' cil. His speech was a fitting cli- ' max. It was said th&t ^Fountain ( and E. McGill are rated - I morig'the "b^t-orators m the A. ( M. E.

He is a real genius. * His woTk at Kittrell College sei'ms v almost a mrracle.Youcan scarce- f ly believe your own eyes in see- J Ing what he has wrought. Aside f from developing a fine ^student t body he has nearly a hundred acres of the best crop on the col- i lege property which consist o f a three hundred acres of land. The r Bishops bafore him did not know r .+ ? - - ?*? what to do with it. He has also1 the finest cattle on this farm.' They are horses, cows, hogs and dogs. The Bishop has wheat, corn' and meat raised on his farm a t Marion and Kittrelh the year touml. Birshcrp Davra-sVs- truly a big- brother and loving*father.

SILENT M I havg just 'finished a rambU through?mv?cluttered?letter files I make it" a practice to look thn these files occasionally. I re-reac letters. Some of them I destroy others I retain There's a reason If you keep your letters, try rereading them somotime. When yoi are lonesome or have what people of letters and listen again to thost who talked to you, sometime back It's an interesting experience. .| I like to> think of letters as silent messengers. Often1 these letters ane words of advice and encouragement. Often they are full of criticisms and complaints. Some jettera "" triPB andoring you back home. Often you rise "16""the mount of inspiration and ecstacy and perhaps to the depths of despair at times. An experience no matter where they take you. I often read a well written letter and although I cannot hear the wruer speaKing, i can leei a certain kind sf- contact. Maybe- the writer thought as I thought, unbut they voted the other day to give him second place and another fust place. He knows both how to lead and how to follow. He also knows that the man who has the biggest mind will direct regardless to who sits in the seat. Yes, he took second placp as far as the office goes but as to planning/ he will plan harder and produce, plans so?hig that' only a~big-soul /can carry out.

I would meet all the leaders and study them and see?what I could do to improve. A certain president asked a 'certftinleafk*r^the other day ""why is i't that in every fight, they always shoot at you? The answer was, creators are always ^shoL at and the tallest tree in the woods gets the first cold wind in winter and the* first sun shine; What if you are opposed, defeated, criticized and even voted out of an office, worse things than-that has" happened. It takes more than that o stop a creator. None of these hings shall stop me. They say here is room at the top and there s^ropm in front if you have youjp" >wn seat.
