What Bishop Browns Sons Revs. ID. p
| ana Geo. "A. Brown are Doing in
$3.50 -, the West.
In last September the wise and poo(
Biship, John M. Brown, had added t.
his large list of ministers of the low.
and Illinois Conference, his younges
son, Geo, A.. Brown, who for the pas
two years, had been living in Milwaukee
and when the Bishop appointed him tc
two small and WORKOUT churches, one
at Glencoe and the other at Avondale
Ill. everybody wondered how Rev
Brown would make living; the
churches being so small and the mem.
bership likewise. Rev. Brown, how.
ever, in his quiet and cartul way, said
nothing, but was at his post of duty
working like trooper one week after
his appointment. Our church at Avon.
dale had been standing for twenty one
years and was almost ready to cave in
besides the lots were not free from debt
out, to-day, We are proud to say that
through the business like instrumentalitv
ofthis noble young man, we have our
lots paid for, beautiful little church
and free from debt. This isn't all. for
Rev. Brown at once started a revival
and at Avondale alone there were seven
new souls converted and connected
with the church and two bright and in
telhgent young men in the person of Mr..
geo. Bruce and brother, with their
sword and shield ready to join the an.
nual conference in August.
At Glencoe Brother Brown has also
completed our church, paid it complete.
ly out of debt, received seventeen mem
bers by conversion and will leave money
IN the treasury. II Brother Brown had
received from US his salary, we would
not feel so obligated to him, but he has
received comparatively nothing and has
cared for his family with the means he
derives from his weekly journal known
as the "Wisconsin Afro-American. "
printed in Milwaukee, Wis. AS an edi-
tor Rev. Brown has no superior. His
editorial substantiate the fact that he
certainly intends to do as his grand old
father has done, all he can do for his
race.
Mrs. George Brown, the reverends
wife, is seventeen years old, a very
bright intelligent girl, the mother of
twins four months old, and the youngest
women in the State who is mouher of
twins. Many cold night when Rev.
Brown would be holding meetings at
one place his young and christian. like
wife. would hold the fort by leading
prayer meetings at the other. O, may
God send more young people filed with
his Holy Spirit like these two to do
work. Rev. Brown is only p years old,
was schooled partially at Howard Uni
versitv in Washington. D. c., and partly
at Wilberforce. His first year has proven
to all in this portion of the country that
if there is zenith he will reach it in a
short while. Everybody loves him and
bis girl-w;fe, and when asked if he will
return next year; he says, "Why, there
is nothing for me to do here now;
would like to 60 where can work both
temporarily and SPIRITUALITY" But we
want him back.
His brother, Elder u. P. Brown,
pastor of st. Stephens A. N. E. Church,
Chicago, is doing grand work-paint-
ing the church both inside and out; be
also has had two converts in the past ten
days, something that has not been
known in st. Stephens for long time.
He, like bis brother, has a good Chris.
tian, ,God-fearing wife, and Bishop
Brown should certainly feel proud of the
portion of his family which is out here
Fellow brothers and ministers of the
gospal let us urge our young men to
buckle on the shield and armor and heir
us bring out the good that is buried
