I'hilip Ellis A L J x Tuberculosis From all indications the largest report ever made by Negroes in ? the history of ttyo. state will b e presented to the State Committee at its regular meeting in connection with the Palmetto State Teachers' Association. Prof. John P. Burgess of State A. and M. col lege is chairman of this commit-,.^-tee, and Supervisor C. A. Johnsan of Colored Schools of Columbia is - seeretary-troasurer. While Char'/ leston under the leadership of Dr C. S. Ledbetter for our racial group has pone above last year we are expecting a larger increase. II came to our ears that few of the non-supporting counties have not quite raised their assessed quotas is hoped that the workers of I those unfortunate counties will get busy and preach the danger of ( this dreaded and dreadful disease.

Since the 1 time is somewhat past for Celling 1 .seals, Ask the people of the coufi-*' ty to give reaspnable donations 1 to supplement this fund. Any num- i ber of people including some Christians are doing absolutely 1 nothing to prepare people-to live i in heaven. So they should support < every movement put forth to de- 1 strOy disease germs of tuberculo- i sis that they may live here all i the days of their appointed time 1 and not be hastened to that ever- t lasting roast oven. ; i ' - i There Are {Exceptions i Too often when a congregation j stands out against a pastor it's \ the result of one or two officers. % I have knowrr~of~charges control!- ~\ _ ed by certain men, and it did not ... mind wh r> tVi/? V.icVi/M-io mnt t those charges the members would' 1 1 wait f<pr the discussions coming ] L from tr.onu ring leaders. If they j t ^?a4d?thfs?preacher wttt not suit 1 us, he had just well pack up "and ] leave that congregation. This < however is' among the rare excep- i tions, and should be given very 1 little concern. A church that will \ decide against a minister or even j one of its own members without 1 giving them a fair trial is"-not < that church for which Jesus Christ' j she I Fis most precious blood. On < the other hand a minister should i be wise as a serpent, and know i I when he should move long before 1 anybodv else in his congregation. ] k Our Lay Subscribers | r Palmetto Conference, Mr. E.
