It is my verj great pleasure to eay that Dr. P E. Brogdon, the pastor of Em manuel Church, Charleston, S. C. is1 one of the men to be selectee and elected. Dr. Brogdon is "the man of the hour." One who know? 'he A. M. E. Church, one who ha: a vision, a constructive prograrr and who is a friend and brother With reference to his ability, ht In the field of education, h t served as principal of the Man. ping High School; Professor at Allen University, Columbia, S. C and at the State College, Orangel burg, S. C. His activities in the religious sphere are many. We "are simply giving a partial list of his work. Dr. Brogdon served as pastor at Belton, Manning Station, Orangeburg, Bethel, Columbia, S. C., Bethel at ^Georgetown, Presiding Elder of the Mt. Pleasant 'Dis trict and at present the efficient pastor of Emmanuel, the mother of African Methodism south o t Baltimore. Soon, after being appointed to Emmanuel Station, a modern heating plant was installed and. latenjhe_ morrtgage was lifted. This Christian gentleman and great expounder of Truth, like Isaiah of old, has a vision, and the General Conference will do itself credit by elevating this noble son of 'Allen to the Episcopacy.
