M. E. church closed its annual meeting last week at Mt. ; Zion church, five miles from Winns s bdro. Dr. T. H. Addison, presiding el der the district said in his an, nual message that I am no boss j but your leader and your brother. - I joined the Georgia annual con ference 24 years ago under Bis; hop Flipper. I have studied him, , I have watched him, I have dis, cussed business with him and I , am profiting by being associated r- wttjphim. Bishop FIfpper as you . know does not hold a big stick i over his ministers and everywhere . he has gone to preside, men love i and admire him. I said when 1 h was in tfT5 pastorate, in case 1 f ever be nrnmnfpd tn tVi? nrouidina eldership, I would be humble and show some men by way of treat' ing men under me and behind ' close door. Let's be brethren and ' my motto -is ~aH: Then up gnrt nn - man down,?The minister with five members can discuss his business _ with nig as well aa the pastors in ' Spartanburg. The address was said by those old in the district" delivered in a district conference. The Rev. Martin was elected secretary and all the committee was | appointed by the presiding elder. "Does equal representation in I our organization help or hinder?" The conference decided it doesn't help. "Should women be ordain l ed to the Ministry?" The conference decided, they can be missionary but not ordain ministers. During the conference, the preaching was done by Rev3. D. J. Zeigler, J. B. Curry, B. J. FinkI lea and the Rev. Leroy Jackson. The Finance committee announced that the district was up to last year with several small charges to her.r from. Because of his leadership, the laymen led by N. F. Raff, Charley Robinson, the Rev. J. M. Parkins and others presented him a small token of appreciation for his service rendered to the district. Dr. Addison was taken oij surprise thnnlffi.l tha hrnHi^n f..i , kindness. - ? lJr. Addison had the conference 10 understand that annual dues in his conference is "gone with the wind," also registration. I think I can live by treating you right. Bishop Flipper when he was presiding elder didn't"have them, 1 lidn't pay them when .1 was in the pastorate and 1 am not going to accept them now. He contin ued and said as long as I hold ~ this position srrd God gives nwgrace, you can depend on me dong the right thing under any con Jition. Dr. Addison is a member of theFinancial-board with headquarters at Washington and many are think ing if he continues his leadershipthe leaders of the statee wnll have to recognized him when they want to put over a worthwhile program for the state.
