Philip EUia | * ? ? ??fr 8 * H 1 ; NEGRO CHURCH SERVICE'S '\ I a malmost persuaded to believe that the length of most Negro religious services destroys the good that should be accomplished Now I know Negroes service can? not be held in the same period of time as the whites, because of the method of collection. A whiter" congregation will respond with its offerings in five or ten minutes when some of our colored congregations will take a whole hour. But to say nothing of the collection, my opinion is that most ev\ erything in a Negro service is too long, f irst the preacher preaches too long. (Many times when ly ' i should be down to amen, he ?=> just warming up to firstly with j four other topics to discuss. When his message is finished the people ' who have not gone home are as ' mad as wet hens. Far too many of our preachers are not satisfied with an impression, which would be lasting but they must have an excitement which is short lived. There is absolutely nothing in excitements even^ihen it comes to revivals. The nagain our singing is too long I have known where eight songs were sung by several choirs plus four numbers by tw quarets to get a collection of one dollar and a half. Again tnc appeal for collection is too I.pngMost prayers offered in our Sun day services are too long. Nc kind erf service can be -impressivi . . if its too long. Its needless tc say anything about most Negroes all day funerals for it will take thi egislature to fiix the time in whicl they must be held.

M. < I E< church, May, 194U. Dr. J. E. i I Thomas is one of the most popu! lar presiding elders, ill the_ state, j Dr. J. L. Benbow head of the 1 1 Kingstree district of which 1 am ! a member attended both of these meetings and electrified them with beautiful messages. Dr. Hen bow is one of the most ablest preachers in thn state, and has held the best appointments including his present one. AH of?them?are-4 fking the voters to send them to e general eonferench which is eir perfect right. Most all oi the leading pastors of JJie conference are also in the rati; including" this poor scribe. And so far as I "aril concerned its only a chance with me. ~Ntr w has promised or paid me a dime to write. I have always written my convictions ot riven and measures and that every man in the state and church will i admit if they have anyrespect for 1 the truth.-i When I was in the!

In fact it takes >a combination to carry anyone to I the general conference, and while no ticket has been made with me, I can safely say 1 will* get one ' vote in Georgetown next Octc ber ? if no more.
