Flipper, in the passing of fheir Bern in Atlanta iasi wwk, xu.a , sad news was broadcasted from all1 of -our pulpits last Sunday, while I telegrams and letters of condolences flooded the bishop's home. In this case death interfered with a most appreciative visit our chief ,f tain was about t<y make in the '"State Legionin^ at the Sumter disJ trict with Dr. J. S. Coe. It also cancelled practically our State i Missionary convention with one afr r~ mong the best literary programs K ever presented to our denomina[ tion which was arranged by Mrs. t S- D- Flipper, state 'president. Our chief leaders have hot only?thtn prayers of members 'of their church in this state but of all faiths irrespective- of dmominations. They are als0 praying T-? that thr hi boo and his good wife will be blessed with mHlly niwigyears to continue their fine superI vision (/ver our good old Palmetto 1 State. % General Officer Adams The selection of Dr. E. A. Adams of Columbia as Secretary of Education for the great African Methodist Episcopal church is indeed a wise choice. I think 1 know all of the secretaries to fill that oflfic since its creation in our church, and its present incumbent is the equal of any of them. In this brief ..notation we are not at tempting t introduce th,. new sec rctary because his superior fitngss is too Well,known by denominations and business enterprises. But as an expert financier, and accountant,: I doubt whether the church - has hissuporior. I don't know what his future antiflpa-"^ tions may be, but one thing I? do know, and that is, the l-ight man is at t;\. light place in the pres. "n* tense His congratulations arc numerous including?ours, and his-*?HW*y?friends, arc?delighted -miih?his?elevation together with this scribe. We understand tnat the new presiding elder of the Newberry district is Rev. O. C. Dunham and Rev. T. H. Addison, has been appointed a member of the financial board. These pen tie church, and we also congratulate them on their promotion. Praying Too Late > In reading the many dailies, we _ riate prayer proclamations are.be ing issued on all sides. The Y. M...C. A. (white) ha* announced a . week of prayer beginning m tire near future. The Youth Council of the great Methodist church has given notice of a week of prayer. The white ministers of Charleston! have advised prayer for this puzzling epidemic of infantile paraIvsis. Pope Pius, head of the Catholic church is urging his followers to pray for wars to cease. Now I really believe that if these "ocjuests were made in times of noa e, prosperity- and health, the revers-3 would never come. I rem'-fub-T when th World's War was aging, similar requests from the " y same sources were made. P',,-S"ns 'irrespective of races or "1' r were reminded of the hour .? .P'ay.e.E.Jay..Lulling hells and quiv o-ing electric lights. But as socm " s the armistice was signed Spray's vet-,, no more needed, and nai!". - !>' I'lln thiif tier, iti.l or,.l trod toward each other as they frid before. Say what you wlli hut God is not to bo played with. Me will not help a people in distress who have no concern for Him when things are going well with them. No sane man will dis pnte that these aro terrible times, and God only knows what the end wil' he-. So we will do well to pray. Value Receiver! The members of the Palmetto I annaal conference branch convention spoke in highest terms of the Indies who represented them in the Quadrnnial convention held at Jacksonville, Fla; -They were pro gramed to discuss leading topics at the meeting and injmortalized themselves*before that body.
