Pifi S I <4The Old Gray" | "TUT * Hev. E. Philip Ellis t Listening to an address delivered before the Palmetto Stat* Teachers' association last year by the State Superintendent of Education he said that 90 percent of all the public school teachers are I professed?Christiana.?My?hnr pression is that this can be truth fully said of about 95 percent of the Negro ministers. Whcm it - come* to Christianity as practiced by Jesus Christ 5 per cent of the Negra ministers have just a ? doui as much ox it as a Jack rabbit down on a river swamp. This may be the case of ministers in other rac^s. Sad for our racial t group, there is a feeble class among our ministry nothing too low for them t<y do their fellow minister or any laymomber of th*ir oonuregatwxn. Rob, steal, beat and tell -the truth upside Many of them come into the ministry after failing as a physic ian, school teacher, farmer, per fume teller, diy goods peddler, cross?tic?cutter,?and?moonshine operatorr. And so far ag paying a just debt, is no part of them. But I have said all of this simply to say that this 90 percent of the Christian school teacherg and the 95 percent of the Christian min isters, ought cooperate for th< saving of the host of yoimg~people committed to their care. Any number of them are going headlong to destruction, and despite their silly excuses about the crtfUrch and Christianity, . they must surety die. They see "Can-_ crete examples of that fact every day. Then the Bible plainly teaches that they must stand befor< God and the books will be open and the dead will be judged out of the books according to the works which they have done. . Why Peace In Our State? It is because Bishcrp J. S. Flip per-is i>ot a driver.?He does not demand his ministers to mortgage their holies and Household "tT goods -for general claims. Its because he does mot attempt to force an unacceptable minister on m TIo 1a1/A " vvuftivgunv/ll. 11V UWCS nui IttlVC advantage erf neither minister nor -layman:?In eases of objectionscoming from charges he gives both ministers and laymen a respectable hearing. His verdietprivately to_ minister would?be not to return. But this was always done after his pleading with the congregation to see could they get to-gether. And when ever the preacher persist in gcring hack contrary to Bishop Flipper's Godly jucTgemetnt he found a bar across his pulpit, his church wirtdows nailed down, and a trace chain with pad locks on the front doors. In instances where the bishop found the preacher ?vei burdened tryhlg to hold a big hog he substituted it with a guinea pig, which made a complete fit. This kind of administration has brught such peace and harmony to the A. M. E. church- in-SouthCarolina until its the topic of dis mission for all dennminations -in. the Old Palmetto State.

Georgetown District j Makes Plans For Progress , To The Public: Wc, the ministers and laymen of the Georgetown District of the African Mfethodist {Episcopal Church, in meeting assembled, for the purpose of planning, under the leadership and direction of Dr. T. J. Miles, Presiding Elder of the District, the usual work for the conference year, feel it our duty to issue the following address, setting forth some of the things for which wc stand, and which Wc feel are urgently necessary to achieving the progress and improvment that we are s<T anxious that our section of the state shall make. First: We note with especial pleasure and gratitude the'excellent conditions existing regarding race relations in the city and county 01 Georgetown ana would use every effort in wor dor deed to promote these very, desirable' conditions. With such an ideal ]Con dition as a basis for cooperation, and a county rich in natural resources, soil and climate, we have prospect for a most wonderful future for the county. In this Conference district, embracing as it does a large area of the rural population of Georgetown County, we feel especially in forested in the welfare, not only of*our group but of the entire rural section of the county. It go^s without saying that the growth of urban centers depends almost entirely upon' the economic condition of the rural section on which they must draw. This, being, true, it is highly important that attention be directed to the well being of the people in these areas. At no time in the history of the country has interest in rural life been more evident and emphatic thans at present. The government?Hr spending millions of dollars to improve conditions on the farm, rurfl electrification, housing, resettlement, and numbers of unheard of opportunities for making life there worth while. So that rural life, if properly conceived and utilized, will become the abundant life. The general dissatisfaction usually found with farm life grew out of the uninviting conditions, and undesirable experiences which were had for years on the farm. The word farm, because of these conditions, became ' synonymous wHh" inferiority of opportunity ^ compared with other vocations. Therefore the - young person, (white and colored) seized any opportOiTityTfrat "offered to leave the farm. But now, thanks to the Federal Government, a better day dawns." We desire," therefore, that our people who are located in ru ral sections be encouraged to remain there if possible, and be trained into becoming self-support ing, and where they make a contribution to the advancement of the race, and improvement of the county. Now, it is impossible that our people can make this improvement and progress without training. We would therefore plead for longer terms for the schools, and good teachers. One writer has said: "Many objectives of. education fail, of their purpose if pupils are eliminated from school before they are able to carry their share of the burden of modern society." He further says, "The ,iuture of rural communities to a large extent, will depend upon the training given the people who are likely to remain in these rural communities." The rural church has been, and is still a great factor in the development of the peo pie, not only religiously, but so cialfy as well. The preacher and teacher are of necessity co-work ers in the field of human uplift. Our church-is?en reeorfl-as?shewing ready cooperation in assisting the people in home" and school. Our great church further shows its interest in the great cause of education in the contribution, annually of a hundred thousand dollars in this state alone for the &up port of the school ip this Episcopal district. We plead therefore for more liberal assistance for our rural schools, in better school facilities and longer terms. Much as has been done, there is still enough illiteracy in our group in Georgetown county to seriously affect the standing of the State in illiteracy. We urge the appoint ment for our rural communities,^ rural minded teachers, well prepared for the work. Whose measure of efficiency will be seen in the improved conditions in their o^uuvi cuiiiiiiuiiiucn ua tx ruauiL QI their influence arid teaching. We are equally insistent that the min WHAT EVERY I Tr WOMAII 1 I? fYour using Gi WJytj Qj . ^1^^* Don't wi ooDfinowi/^f ( t your dtoltr iJ do*i not hovo ??nd $1.25 dlroct to ..
