REy. WESLEY J. ROBINSON
Senior Presiding Elder of Colum
bia Conference and Useful Civic
Leader. Church .Members
Ask for His Election to Next
General Conference
The people?officers and mem
bers of the A. M. E. churchesfrn
the Columbia Annual Conference
nominate and pray for the election
D. D., most worthy 'and senioi
pres'idihg elder of the Columbia
Conference to thP forthcoming
General Conference, as one of the
delegates from the Columbia An
nual Conference, when it convenes
in Spartanburg. ?
We ask the voters at the Conference
to consider his record:
Dr. Robinson has been a lover
of his school all of his days. He
graduated from Allen University
in 1900 and since that time has
educated three of his children in
his Alma Mater
4
His record as a pastor and pgesiding
eledr is one of noted sue
cess and achievement. As a- pas
tor- he" served Bowman Town' in
the Orangeburg district 4 years;
Elloree Station in the same district
4 years; Brown's Chapel, and
Irmo Circuit in the Columbia Con
ference 4 years each; Latta. Station
4 years and Conway Station
5 vears. all in the N. E. Confer
ence. Hfi made an enviable record
as pastor and civic leader in
his four years pastorate at Manning.
His work rn inter-racial
betterment there" profoundly impressed
the white leaders to the
extent that it was thryf their in fluence
that he was .assigned presiding
elder of the Manning district
to render further service in
cifcy affairs. A petition from lead
ing white citizens was presented
Bishop N. W. Williams setting
forth this request.
In 1936 Dr. Robinson led the
delegation to the General Confer
ence from the Orangeburg district,
his second presiding eldership.
Church records show that
he led the Conference in Dollar
Money increase while over the
Orangeburg district.
He was sent to the Spartanburg
district, where he wrought
well and reported noticeable in
creases in enuren i f (jui is, n?|
now heads the Lancaster district
and will meet the Annual Conference
this year with round reports
from the charges in his district.
In the recent report at Allen University
last -week Dr. Robinson
lead in moneys reported for the
new library at Allen.
The laymefi of the church respect
and admire him, and because
of his krnd treatment to<
his pastors he is Joved by them,
and in sincerity they are supporting
his program.
The ensuing Annual Conferonce
will elect men on merit and
achievement and that being a
fiact. the senior presiding elder
should be given full suffrage foi
his noble work. The .church peo
pie want Dr. W. J. Robinson elected
to thP (^General Conference.
