I I To the Ministers and Laymen of .j . thePiedmonb Annual Con?? ?? ferenc^. Greetings: In a few days from now the E > ? lectoral College will meet at Pro 1 t mise Land church in the Groen Hood District Thre will be about thirty men in the race, and only three can be elected. \ I think we should use our influence to have the best man elected Now the ministers cannot vote, but we sure can talk. A man that is useless in hi^ local church is useless in the General Conference. ' . We have a lot of men who fight the Pastor, and the program of the Church, and yet they think trfe.v should be elected. That kind of laymen should not be even sent to the Electoral College. Then why. send him to the General Conference? I want to offer you a man that is true'and tried, a man who is loyal to the local church. A man who is a fri(-pd t? tb?. prpn^h. er, a man who wants to see his Pa'tor get a decent living, a man who is not selfish and disagreea- " ble, a man who has the respect of both white and colored, a man that knows: the hardships of the rrnni: t.er and will g'.vp. aid in tne tune of distress. - _ All of the ministers who have served Friendship church in Clinton. S .uth Carolina^ fori'thp past twenty-five 'peaks "will testify that I am telling the truth. 1 am offering you H. L. Akxamlei, a stew ard of Fri"n,lcV>:p?AME Church, a trustee of Allen University, a graduate of Allen, ru! ?. friend to the minister, a big brother to the laymen, Elect him and you won't go wrong. In case something should happen to Brother ?_then ? C. A. Wad?worth is the alternate and all that I have said about Alexander. I can say for Wadsworth Both of these men are sons "of Methodist ministers, and no bet-- * ter men could be found in the entire Church. ' H. W. WALKER.
