Crarleston, day evening, when members of all denominations, and citizens in every walk of life gathered there to honor Retv. Samuel R. Higgins, D.D., at a parting recetfUfflftfTT was one among the finest occasions we have ever witnessed While the entertainment was Frank Edmonds it met the hearty snnhsnrpil- vprv hv Mr approval of the entire citizenry of Charleston. Both the interdenominational ministers union and A. M. E. ministers' alliance cooperated with th?> movement and it was super fine to say the least. With Mr. Frank Edmonds as the master of ceremonies the following program in part wag . rendered:?Se lection, Emanuel choir; Invocation Rev. J. W. Mwrph; Appreciation? Interdenominational Union, Pres., ident S. H. Scott; Solo, Mrs. J. R Stephens; Appreciation, A. M. E Ministers Alliance,. Rev.' R. E. Brogden; Dr. J. A. McFall repre sented the business men and Dr. C. Holloway, spoke for the physicians; Mrs. J.R. Pearson brought greetings frcrm the ministers wiv. es alliance and Miss Odessa Mack spoke for the public schools. . . - Principal J. C. Berry represented the city school heads. Beside the choir musical numbers-were rendered by Mrs. "J. H. Stevenson, little Mi ss Angelea Green, the Misses .Brogdens and Mrs. Flora Miller. Rev-. J. C. James, pro nounced the benediction. Rev. J. Ei Beajm. rn well chosen wards pr? sented the ' president who made a most excellent address, lie paid a high tribute to Dr. Beard, foi ???, hisl_euuiageous defense in his in Merest, -and - assured- hrrn - that?he will'always remember him. He spoke highly of Dr. Brogden and his loyal support. He expressed his appreciation to Rev. J. C. .lames?and also?the "Old Gray". It was a good speech. In it the |/?VO?UVtlV OIIU??VU 1WO that he was not an ingrate which is one of the worst of all animals. Then Dr. Higgins, expressed his appreciation of all who will give him their fullest cooperation. ~~ That's a fine president and I agree with Dr. Beard, in sayine I be? lieve?Dr. Higgins, is going ~To stand at the head of the colhmn of all Allen's presidents. Dr. Miles Since Dr. T. J. Miles' competitor is now our new secretary of .education, a position of _which hun dreds would desire, gives him a clear road to the bishopric in 1940 The state was conscious of the 1* fact that these two gentlemen _pnl> were before it to make choice Both served notice at the last genback at the ensuing general conference for~ election. The minute? of that body will'attest this fact Now that the church through its representatives has placed one of Jhe aspirants, gives Dr. Miles a sweeping victory at Detroit. He will be the only one the state can win with at the forth-coming gen ? era! conference. This is no time for experiment. The voters ?re going to get squarely behind Dr. Miles, as standard bearer, and ge. him on the bench so he can help us to get other leaders of the state \r\tr\ tiloo..,. ~ -it- ? * , ?uj?mey seen . We need not be surprise to hear other announced candidates from this state. Every man has a per feet right to seek any office in the A. M. E. church. But there never was a time in the history of the church when getting connec tional consideration is as compli , cated *a it is today. .After all I . ? guess its only a mttter T?f paying the price for what you want. To those lacking information, permit me to say that your boasted de grees will help olevate you just " as much as a dictionary' will help a cow to spell a word. In fact, ten thousand are qualified from ??an?mtellecttreh viewpoint-that Will J never be elected bishops and gen.JtraL officers. When it comes to letters there were aspirants for Allen's post, that had more de- 1 grees than Dr. S. R. Higgins, but * you see who is president. The bishopric is an expensive position. First, one must travel extensive- % ly. He must have the support of his presiding bishop. Therr her must have the pledges of several I * other bishops. It usP to be thai I you got delegations through state j J leaders. But now you get stat< chairmen and representatives | r through their bishops. Big speech j b os before large gatherings many of whom have never been delegates to a general conference-and never will be, is simply playing "doodle" in the sand. Dr. Miles has full filled all of tbe aboved requirements, and is the only man in the state that can qualify for the Episcopacy at the general I "Conference next May. You can severely critizise the method and this released information. But believe it or believe it not> verily, -verily, I say, unto you, all of thes* naunpf will h? in?t "wtiere they arc> now after the gen eral conference, if not l'urthei down. To be continued. The Palmetto I/?ader Next week we will speak of all our out-of-state supporters who are looking forward for connec-1 tional consideration. I want ev_ cry minister in the' state to sub scribe with me for this paper at your respective annual conference and laymember likewise. All denominations speak through this! periodical. One k almost a back number who does not read -^the "Leader". We have somewhat yet to say to the state before be ginning our articles in the connec. tional organs.

A 1 THE VOICE FROM THE MOUNTAIN By B. F. Stewart Yes, it is true that "The Voice From The Mountain"-has been si_ lent for sometime, but it must need be that the echo from this voice be heard at this time. "The Voiee From The Mountain" will speak at^thts time - chiefly about the Baptist and their activities in the state. 'Last week the Executive Board of the Sunday School convention of Spartanburg association" met in a special meeting and discussed things pertaining to the special meeting called by Pres ident Butler on the 26th. The body voted unanimously to send a delegate to this meeting to repre sent. The body also endorsea the idea of not electing a president at Morris college for the present. "The Voice From The Mountain" is glad to know that a special meeting of the three conventions has been called. It is hoped that every loyal Baptist will make at sacrifice and be there in person' Of hv nroxv. Wb unto Hio font thai every trustee has been asked to pay $5.00. Now brother trus. tee I hope you will be there and play your part. As one who has kept close tab on the Baptist for the past six years I find that many of the socalled trustees have never paid any thing in the trustee rally. I repeat what I have said 1 once before that if you belong to some of our other good denominanation your name would be dropped from the list of trustees. Evcry trustee should not only pay but see to it that the church or churches where he is ^connected. Also the association and conven tion, do represent. We boast of having 72 associations; 58 S. S.? conventions; 1,236 Ordained minis ters; 1,436 churches with 306,298 members.' Then with this gTeat host of organizations, pastors and members, five thousand dollars should be a small amount to raise. This amount rf each would play his part could be raised with a mall nmnxnt af t( (1(1 aaaW church, and less than two cents fiom each member. We see breth ren ifnd trustees that, a large numerical fqr.ce does net count. The Polls are being driven from their country today?not because they do not have a large army?but be cause their soldiers are untrained for the task that lies before them. ?It ig-~true-thar -we are--superb when it comes to church Jmembership but what we need is pastors, and leaders to say to this great host, come on let's go across the Jordan; Morris college ?eoukl stand among the leading colleges of the South If each of us as"" 'leaders would play our part. The I school is not only a credit to the I denomination but to the Negro j race regardless to his denomina- j tjonal faith. ! I College Presi^nt gencv meeting" is called to elect a president for the college. Per. -ioiiatlV I hop,, that ihp president of the convention will not consent to elect a president at this time. I do thrnk this is the wrong time. T think it would be wise to let the present administration carry on the work for this' term and presplit tl".nro^itlont nt r?1r.c~ nf this' scholastic year. Naturally the man who goes in new will be confronted with a' great problem. School?hftving already begun, he will have to accept the program that the present administration i has adopted or stop everything and take up hi\s program. (I am sure if he is a wide-awake man he ] will have a program). But eith- i or wav the school will suffer in the move, for time "will be lost < and the faculty may find it diffi. < cult to live up with his program. We have man\- friends, who have been runninng every since the | death of the lamented Dr. Pinson, ' but let them run on. For runnrng i is good exercise. As a trustee, graduate of the ! school and president of the alum- ( ni association, I shal cast my vote j for somebody not as a favor, not ^ because I have known him for a ( long 'time, not because he is a | friend of mine, not because I feel i sorry for him (having run so long) but BECAUSE I FEEL THAT HE IS THE MAN BEST FITTED FOR THE PLACE. . \ BETHEL A.
