'There is no Greater I
In the World Than Lo
Declares Senior Bisho]
SOUTH CARdilNA CONFER.
ENCES OF THE A. M. E
CHURCH HAS INCREASED
GREATLY
^
_ Columbia, S. C.?-Concluding ar
series cft successful conferences in
South Carolina recently, Bishop
J. S. Flipper?who presides over
the "Iodine State" said, "there if
no greater. moral force in the
world than love". With this inspiring
theme as the basis of a
masterful oration fittingly deliver
ed by the Senior Prflate of the
African Methodist Episcopal
church and knowt^ through the re
II triads world for his matchless
leadership, presiding elders, ministers
and numerous lay people
gathered in the spacious Trinity
church in Manning were happily
informed of the great increase fcn
conference claims over the previous
years.
As Chancllor of Allen universpoke
briefly on the progress of
sity, the renowned religionist
the Columbia (S. C.) institution
that has made such rapid progress
that today, it is rightfully
taking its place among the foremost
institutions of higher learn
ing in the South. With man>
mors students enrolled at Allen
this year, and the splendid spirit
of cooperation that is existent beisters
'and others interested in the
ducationaL npogress of our youth,
Bishop Nipper sees ahead, "a
bright fuflur^vfor Allen university".
He acknowledged grate
fully, and in glowing terms, the
gift of a $26,000 organ from an
outstanding South Carolina citizen,
whose contribution is said to
? be unequalled in recent months.
As Senior Bishop of the A. M.
E. church, the Rt. Rev. J. S. Flipper
has done everything possible
to maintain =the high?religions
ideals of his denomination. His
recora 01 acnievermmts is evidenced
by the esteem in which he is
held, not only by the many presid
ing elders and vast number of min
latere under his jurisdiction, but
also by the leaders of other denominations
with whom he is constantly
in touch for the good of
the Negro race as a whole.
For almost sixty years, this unselfish
disciple of Christ has been
preaching for the spiritual and
moral benefit of his people, and
with his years of experience, ia
truly in position to render advice
= at-all?times, particularly on affairs
of the church he has served
faithfully without anycrne being
able to besmirch his good
name. Hj, belie* in"hoSity and ;
economy ia said to be the reason
for his success these many years,
and especially in these days?jof.
economic stringency.

WORK
By Miss Mamie J. Brock
Second Vice President _ .
In response to an invitation
from the Supt. of the Friendship
Baptist church, Sunday school, I
met with the Pastor, Supt., some
of the teachers and pupils of the,
Sunday school on the night of the
30th inst. Notwithstanding the in-,
clement weather between showers
of rain and gusts of wind accord-1
ing to_promise,_ we arrived at the
church at 8 o'clock to find the
church comfortably heated , with
Supt., Peter White and a few pupils
awaiting my arrival. <,
After a short song service and
Schipture reading, followed with
pra^r by the Pa?tdr, we proceeded
to tell them of the work of the
State?Sunday: .School and-- BYPU
Convention. We dwelt especially
on the School of Methods and
other phases of the Convention
work, -making clear the sentino- nt
one and each additional delegate.
I gave few minutes for questions
which were all satisfied. The
group was inspired to the extent '
that the Pastor said he would
meet me in Columbia in July with
his "Pontiac" filled and probably
another car. |
At this time, the Supt. asked
that all stand and sing, in response
to my remarks: "Sister we'll
meet you at the Station when the
train comes along." So you see f1t
is not too early to begin to be in 1
spired for the work in July.
I do not think that the folk at
Friendship church enjoyed my com ;
ing to them better than I enjoyed
going to them. We enjoyed a
glorious meeting and after sing- '
ng "God be with you till w e 1
neet agin," we were dismissed by 1
;he pastor, Rev. Butler.
