VOL. XV?NO
On To Detroit, Michig
And Elect or. T. J. M
Of The African Meth(
' ?
* 'V.
We have had our Primary fn
the seventh Episcopal district,
and the deleft tes decided that Dr
Miles is the logicrl man to be
elected. As I understand when
two or more pet sons are .seeking
for nomination, the one receiving
the highest number of votes becomes
the logical candidate. So
that South Carolina is behind Dr.
T. J. Miles for Episcopal hon
;
He is worthy of t ny position
;thc church may honor him -ivith
for hiany reraons. First, ho ia -e
Big Brother, and ripe in church
' experienes. He has served as a
sucessful pastor, in missions, eir.
cults and stations, and a c pre_
siding elder 23 years.
He knows the struggles of men
who serve smrol missions, and
can sympathize with the little
mail, cay what you miy,- but
we seed more men onr"the bench
who will feel'our care.
I have seen him as presiding
elder go to missions and circuits
where men would pay him his -full
assessment, but before leaving
he would rsk the ptepcher if he
had tnything for his family, and
if he did not he, Dr. Miles would
divide some of his assessment.
When I was first converted I
used to conduct the prayer meet?
in? before hp would preach, and
peonle came from f*T and near
to her.r this gospel preacher, and
irtny souls would be convergedHe
hfts also erected many
churches. We need men inspired
by the Holy Ghost to lead this,
great chu*-ch of ours. I believe]
the F?.the-s ought to be on the1
Bench of Bishops. I am also a
lover of educrtion. but if the
beid does not rightly affect the,
heart it is thrown away. So the
two must go hand and hand. Dr.
Miles would not have been presiding
elder 28 years if he did
no* know how to treat men.
The whole connection knows he
i? a "nanc'T. In 1920 under the
^Rt. Rev. W. D. Chappelle, Dr
r ised five ($5,000) dollars
