As 'we look back sixty years time has wrought many change. within the missions!fy'organization | T.f th?- African1" Methodist KpiscoI ]>ai Zion church. At the beginning, we as a group had not i wakened, as to the necessity, and the great need for uplift work-in other fields. We wercj not the possessors of great wealth nor beautiful homes, neither lmvinificient church edifices in which to live and worship bu? did our"beaten sharing what we had for the sake of others Chances for a comfortable livelihood were very meager, but somehow that did not dwirf a longing to do something for someone. That longing grew and became the ulterior motive for our work in the missionary cause. Twenty-eight years ago firojd by contagious enthusiasm, the sainted Annie Walker BiacJcwen product of South Carolina soil and whose father had served so nobly * ' this state for many yesrs as presiding elder, dicovered the "missing link" iYi our missionary organization. The Women's Society had I been set apart by the General Ccn' ference in 1880; the Buds of Promise in 1904. These two groups had justified their existence by the results they had achieved, but , there was a gulf between?ovei which many were lost in passing? . and th? children trained for the missionary service in one, were ?tten lost to the other in the years that, separated them. In the I Voung Woman's Home and Foreign ' Missionary Society was found thai "niissiike link"?t h c connecting -<hain that challenged and Inspired the younger and supported and endflnraged the older. Here was to he found the recruits for the ,,lj field, here the lenders on tin home f base, without which world wide operations, will fail. The mjssi'i"try movement has always deIpended upon youth.

Y L Fifteen years itgo, the Rev.

As I scan ,the" pages of join ?* much -cherished record. I find to my heart's deliuht th'i t you have J left no stone untuinud in doing your bit to cheer the Joss fortunate. ^ One outstanding discovery to which X 1 you should look with pride is the ? fact that during- the fifteen years of servitude, then has been among you no strife, no bickering, no ^ distention. Here. 1 think one finds ? the DIRECT KEY to success be cause one soon finds that PER- ?* SEVERANCE is impossible where ? hearts do not agree. All cannot DEAI) but all can become good followers. Either is helpless with- ^ out the other. > 1 In view of the fact that we have jT sent aid to our brothers in foreign fields during the past few deccdes oho might ask the question, Why J continue to send funds abroad? Wc consider such a que stion justifiablc in that the inquirer t>erhaps does not know our accomplish- J nents and objectives. We cite for your benefit that the African +++ Methodist Pqiiscopal Zion church has built inany churches, mission schools, equipcd the same with home .and foreign workers and have to her credit two industrial t schools, ns iriely, The Annie Walker V Rlackwell Memorial and the Eliza ?* Ann Gardner school in memory of Mrs. Eliza Ann Gardner of Now England". Both schools are modernly equiped having lovely campuses 4% and well constructed buildings for X the housing of boys and girls in attendance there. If it has been your pleasure to sit and observe I scrutizmgly for several days the 1 Uctions of the native Africans that have been christianized, there did surge within your breast waves of ^ joy for the pennies yoq had sent J to have the gospel carried to him and a deep regret that, yor had'4k not made that contribution larger. | ^ The African is appreciative 'or - COLUMBIA, SO idness shown and demonstrates it tppreciativeness by grasping extended opportunity and so deporting himself thereafter a way that would have you know it time, energy, and money spent him had not been as seed sown rocky land, rather in fertile 1 where it could and did pioce abundant fruit.
