Wil?orn Presiding EIder Beaufort District South Carolina Conference "I thought on my ways, and :urned my feet unto thy testimones" (Ps. 119:69). Qear Mr, Editor: Let this short article appear in four paper please. [I) Just Thinking: (a) Of the pleasant trip to Jacksonville, Fla., the fine meetng put over by thfl women of the N. H. and F. M. society, the ahilty of Mrs. L.M. Hughes to handle women and the matchless sermon ielivered by Bishop David H. SirrK*.. It was enough to make ill say with the Psalmist: "1 -bought on my waysf and turned ny feet unto tny testimonies . (b). Of Bishops W. A. Fountain, R. C. Ransom, J. A. Gregg,i 3. B. Young, D. H. Sims, H. Y. rookes, S L. Greene and E. J. Howard. Now just to locrk .in those , men one could see grace; iignitv and a great future hope~ for the cause of "Christ" and the :hurch of Allen, but my joy was lot full, for as I looked about the place and was unable to see the lero of many battles, Bishop S. J. Flipper, and besides him Bishops .Mi. H. Davis, Noah W. Williams, ind R. R. Wright, Jr. Just thinking that they should have been there and many thought just as I iid. [II) Just Thinking: (11 Of the present bench; the fact is admitted that, it is strong ind will- be made stronger at the next General Conference, and too the delegates of the next general sonference should hear and heed the recommendations of the present bench. Pt slipped out of Bislop Flipper's mcruth th<r other day^ n Columbia, S. C., that the bench orf 'bishops will Recommend the flection of three new bishops at lur next session while Bishop rookeB said in Jacksonville, Fla.. | it the women's meeting that we should elect five or six. Well it s hoping that the bishops will jet-together on that matter at :he next Bishops' Council and :ome to the general conference jnited in their program. (2) Let us think on our ways, and turn our feet unto th* testimonies of the fathers, while just now an expression made by the president of the conectional :ouncil is ringing in my ears that s, in substance he said: "No bills or resolutions will be considered it the General Conference except those approved by the council" Hot stuff. Now if that be true, ;hen the Connectional Council has oecome to be the chief body and the General Conference the secondary body. It is true that the president of the Connectional Council is the honored chairman of the Committee on "Revision of :he Discipline" but I am sure that we did not know that the presilent of the Council had the right to say: Nothing goes in the "Little Black Book" but that which is appi oved by the body over which he presides. However there is more truth than noetry in that statement, for from all evidences gathered such was the case fallowing the last General Conference as it relates to the law governing the election of delegates t< that body 1940. I mean the number from each Annual Confeience (III) JUST THINKING of the fine episcopal aspirants whcr talked with me at the meeting. Alphabetically there are: Drs. E. A. Adams, A. J. Allen, A. D. Avery, J. L. Butler, J. B. Butler, Barner, J. E. Curry, J. H. Clayborn, F. R. C. Durden, C. B. Gibbs, S. J. Johnson, Leath, T. J. Miles, D. W. Nichols, C.' E. fStewart and G. T. Stinson.
