M) TWO THINGS
jENERALCONFE
< >
After the sttuly'.ng the condi- I
ion of the great A.M.E.- Church
nil scrutinizing her great needs ,
i this great age: a period u'hen
e are right at the brink of ending
into a new world; I feel
hat in order to J;ee"p the old
hip moving with great sueces we
hould do two things at the next
leneral Conference which will be 1
eld in?Philadelphia in l'l.li.. If |
re do these two thjrtgs I tell mat !
ur work will he approved by our |
htprcnie" Being.
The first" thing we should do.
to concentrate all of our forces,
n South Carolina and go to the
ieneval Conference and bring our
"'(.-ill Ch.iefll'lTn?our gicat? leader, air
gieat Bishop J! >'. Flipper,
>. 1 >L, 1,1,. D.. back"th South Carlina.
Then1 arc many reasons
rhy we should strive to, bring him
?aek to the state. We should
n'ing him back for the very work j
akc. Bishop Flipper has done ]
wore in building up the church
md school in the State than any
1 ishop we had for many years-.-*ic
has brought peace and love j
nit of confusion. When he came |
o this state it was in a great |
ommotion. There were many who i
uul their swords in their hands
tihl ready* to fight; but today we I.
an say that- the spirit of .Christ
s reigning in the hearts of men.'
mil that the ministers are now [
vorking in1 peace ami harmony, j
lis whole-gospel has been one^flfj.
w. 1 -I,) TkVntin-h tlw. !

vlmle- stalo and caused men t o
vwvk for the .upbuilding of the
\hu'.dom of Co d. He tries, I o
nd lining father to all. Throtjffh-jlis
vision. through his- -leadership j
uui strenuous labor, today we i
lave one of the best libraries of j
his country at Allen University', i
Secondly, we should go to this
leneral .Conference with a determination
to elect Dr. T. J. Miles
0 tiie Bishopric. I feel that he is
1 worthy candidate. His work
las heoTi?marvelous in the state. t
lie has been a big pastor -and
milder of- churches in South Car- i
ilina for years. Has been a model j
iresiding elder for over twenty I

net to Annial Conference. lie
supported every administration .
nul did his work with credit. He I
ias never failed in reporting his j
.ssessment as a pastor nor as a
presiding elder; l?ut always stood I
it the top and asked others t o I
oinc up. As a real gospel j
preacher, he has hut few equals j
f any. He is a great supporter
>f iour great school, Allen University.
He has inspired many [
iovs and girls to go to Allen, i
He has vaised thousands of dollars'for
Allen and has helped
many men to enter the ministry.
Xow why shouldn't we elect a
nan like this? One who will renJer
service for Cod and man.
Brethren, let us put down all
