I Saturday, February 4, 193$ PROF. J. S. SHANKLIN WRITES , OF THE CONDITIONS OF ? THE PEOPLE IN S. C. " I should like to say a word * through your columns about the conditions of our people in general in South Carolina. From my | point of view, I feel that we are looking forward but, at the same fk time, I believe there is room for m improvement. Our young people ^ are not as bad as they are pictured. They only have life which, perhaps, is not directed as some -t of u? think it should be. ? (We often think of the old and new schools and the changing con ' f dition of things. But as I view the ' situation in the world today as it was yesterday, I find people doing oltTthings in a new way. The white and black peoples are beginning to speak one language as they, have - never spoken before. \r. The spirit of Christ is getting nearer to the hearts of men and women everywhere and progress can UV vicoiljr dvv.ii aiviu iii?i?j mil r. gles despite impending1 dangers of selfishness and (freed. I am glad I am identified with . the Negro race, and that I am a member of that great A. M. E > Church which has always demonstrated one great factor?man ? hood. Our church today in South $ Carolina is in peace and harmony as it haB not been in years. This can be attributed to the splendid leadership of our fearless leqjjer, , Bishop Flipper, his loyal colleagues, and their members, who are working together for the advance ment of our Master's kingdom. Then, too, may I say a word about Allen University and?its?president and his devoted wife, Dr. and Mrs. McGill and their teachers, who largely belong to South Carolina and -who are making it -** one of the best colleges in the State. Not only should the mem bers of the A. M. E. Church give their support to Allen ;<Univer?ity but the white people and the entire Negro population of the state -?: should lend a helping hand. ?Another fuur years have rolled "* around to elect delegates to the General Conference to make laws ? for our church. Every member in the A. M. E. Church has as much right to go as any other member, it is true, to elect representatives for our church; but they should t. elect men and women who are " best qualified to represent them We Bhould not elect a man for secretary who can not read o * write, or a man to preach who does not possess the spirit o 1 Christ and whose knowledge of the Bible is limited, simply * because we like him. South Carolna is known by the delegates she sends to the General Conference. Let us try to send representative men and women who stand for principles and not dollars; unselfish men who have a vision in selecting bishops and other general officers. Only individuals of this caliber will be eligble to lead this great host of ours up to the gates of heaven and there deliver them into the hands of our Savior that " He, too, may say, "Well done thou good and faithful servant Enter thou into the joys of thy Lord." Ta il- - O 11 * v vue ucic^otca ui cue OU U VII Carolina Conference, I am appeal -ing to you, in selecting: your delegates, not to pledge yourselves to any man or group of men until you get to the electoral college. Do not be bought, or sold, or coerced, because we hope to place before you the whole situation, at which time you yourself may select whom you wish to rep resent you. I am a candidate for delegate to the ensuing General Conference which meets in Detroit, Michigan. There I shall stand on my past record as a worker in faithfulness to my group and especially to my ehurch. I have differed with people. ministera and even with my presiding elder, but I have never eaused one to beg bread or be mistreated. I have looked deeper in my feeling of things. .jMy sympathy goes out to those humble ; and sincere persons of the ministry who are trying to serve the Lord and give their best to the people.. I am against any individual (lr Hfrnnn r\t - ?? 0. w-.|* v* IIIUITIUUOIO WUU undermine the decision of the bishop and elders to satisfy their own selfish ambitions. As a parting word, I should like to 8ayr "May the God of love help and keep you." Youra for up-look, J. S. SHANKLIN, . - ? Principal Beaufort County ) Training School, Burton, S.
