Harrison J. tryanty who for years has pastor I d Bethel, one of our greatest lurches. Dr. Bryant is no ordin y man, he is almost an idol fot e people of Baltimore. He has been the object of my study for some time. He is intelligent relij gious, a great preacher, morally correct, has proved his loyalty to the Church, and humble nnrl ra?-.pe<I tful to these in authority. He is the husband of one wife, with a loI ving family, sober and sane in his conduct, and these I regard as real fitness for any position in the church. Besides this is exactly what the hihlo requires for fitness fOi Bishop. This is my opinion of him. and there now are five bis.hops on the bench, that know that whei they were elders, I gave my opinion of their fitness, and the coming General conferences confirmed my opinion by electing them. My opin ion now is, if the ^1956 General Conference refuse this caliber oi man, what can \Ve hope for? To elect him, the church has won, tc fail to elect him, the church has lost. I have spent much of mj long service striving, and writing trying to put worthy men in this exalted office, no one paid me, 1 looked to the advancement^ of the A. M. E. Church as my reward for the work. All of those I helped know it, and they are my witness that I have never held my hand out to them. I started this helping ser vice with Elder J. M. Conner, more '.han forty years ago, and until the | -lection of the junior Bishop in 1952. All of these remember the 'Midnite-prayers. I am volunteerng my service to Dr. Bryant, he las not approached, me, until I ame to him and offered my service in any way to help him. When le knew anything, I was traveling ind working for him. I can't be bought, hut if your fitness appeal to me, you have what I can do without the asking. In my humble judgement, Harrison J. Bryant would add lustor to the bench, and credit to the ones electing him, "Uncle ^Vince" 2123 Cross Street, Little Rock Arkansas. VOTERS ASKED TO SUPPORT BOND ISSUE The people of Richland county will vote June 2 to decide whether $1,405,Q00 in bonds will be issued to enlarge and to improve the Columbia hospital. The people of the entire county own the hospital; if they vote "YES," then there will be money to do a lot of work that is needed. Actually, the hospital would be lappy if much more money were available so a lot more work could >e done, but the authorities haveII nited the present bond Issue and he hosDital will selrvt ITia mftat important work to bo done first with the hope that the other im? oortant things can ho done within i few years. r The hospital is a big place.
