? Gospel Tornado
Speaking
Hello- World! I am. speaking (
from Atchison, Kansas. Last week
my article was very short, because
I had not received my information
required. Before I
speak about my candidates please \
allow me to s?y. I noticed in last
week's issue where there will be
a meeting at Morris College, to
elect a president. And several
N names were spoken of by differ?XT
i
cm, jjcujjiK, uneie is one or two
things we must consider, first Jt
will be hard to find a man t o
come up with the late Dr. I. D.
Pinson;-.since he has gone, some
one must^'be elected. With such
moTras Dr. Gandy, Dr. J P. Reeder,
Dr. Boykin and hundreds of
others, we believe and have con
fidence that they will not elect ~
a man to the presidency, because
he is a good preaehrTrOTYd a splen
? tHd pastor. Friendship will not
toe considered, becauue sometime
our friends cannot do the
job. Pastors and preachers some
time are not always school masters.
I am sure that the brotherhood
feel as I do, that Morris
College needs for a leader, a
man that is a christian, has finished
different institutions with
high honors, that has had exper- '
ience in the school room, and with
a good moral reputation, the last
mentioned must be to protect the
hundreds of girls, that attend
that great institution. Where is
the -man? Do you thflnk the
man that labored side by side
with Dr. Pinson, that has been
there in the sehool .with him for
a number of years knows morf
about the affairs no doubt, than
some outsider? This is only a
hint, not a suggestion, but you
* must admit in the above state
ment, I have something there*
because at a crucial hour ax fgw
years ago, when you wanted a
man to put the program over you
did not go out and get a preacher
or pastor inexperienced, "but
you got Dr. Pinson, who was work
ing in the- institution,__that knew ..
" the-set-up7 and he made an excellent
leader, and honestly 1
believe we can do the same again
Although whoever is elected, I
am going to do my part. I pledge
$300.00 for the library, will pay
when requested, will be there in
A September. Enough for the schoo'
I; __ Would you be surprised to know
^ that I received eleven letters
last week, from different friends
?-?of Rev. T. J. Miles, D D., presld- ~
ing elder of Georgetown district
One of the brothers stated in his
letter, that Dr. Miles is the man
of the hour. ,Has accomplished
great things in the church, led
his districts, raised more eucational
money for^Allen Universi^
ty. Has answwered the twenty
thira roll as presiding elder. Another
brother said that Dr. Miles
was his brothers friend, not preg
Hated with superiority complex.
That he is willing at all times,
to help the less fortunate, and
will go out of his way to help
a preacher. He further Stated
that "Dr. Miles is the only candi*
date, that is endorsed by the
state. And said that the brethren
were going to Detroit next yeai
and blend their forces. nat jeal.
Sleep" resT'"o"? drink, until Dr.
J. Miles has been declared elected,
that is something to say for
men that have confidence and are
willing to .elevate a man thai
^ they feel is competent. If w*hai
W the brethren wrote me is true, J
am willing to support Dr. Miles
one hundred per cent, and if he
and his friends will appreciate it,
I each week I will keep articles in
the three jvestern papers, tha'
the brotherhood will know more
the General Conference he will
not be a stranger to any one. 1
will also send the name of a key
? man in each state, to any of the
brethren helping in this campaign,
that from time to time
you can contact them when I am
in other fields.
There will be two favors, that
k I am going to ask of the breth
ren of iSoutuh Carolina, after
having worked Ifor your candiB
date, Dr. Miles, when he has been
? elevated, Rlease support Dr. D
Ward Nichols of New York. May
I say according to reports of last
week, Dr. Nichols stock went up
thirty-five per- cent; Dr. Collins
twenty-two per centq Dr. Madison
Reid fourteen per ce"Yit; Dr.
[* Clayborn's stock failed according
to reports, twenty-six per cent.
I received a wire yesterday from
Philadelphia stating that Dr. Cur
ry's market is on the stand still;
from all reports show that Dr
Miles' stock increased fifty-three
per cent, in the last thirty days
[Next week we will he able t'o-give-the
percentage again.. That's enough
for the candidates for the
bishopric. Don't leave me here,
Mr. George Hampton is a layman
and if we stand idly by and don't
try to get some of the laymep
in office they will say after awhile,
what is the use of working.
I feel if five other men will work
in his behalf, as I am doing at
present, and will continue until
Conference, he will go in with a
large margin. I am pleading with
the brethren of South -Carolina
to stand by him; the west and
the middle-west will be safe. Ev
cty reading person should subscribe.for
this paper for the next
twelve months; it will keep you
well informed about the'' general
