Bishop Henry NJ. Turner Of Atlanta, the most
celebrated Of the leaders of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church, departs for Africa on
Saturday. He goes to hold conference and
ordain ministers in Senegambia, Sierra Leone
and Liberia. In speaking of his hopes for Afri-
cas- redemption to Christianity and civilization,
he said: "Tbe transformation is coming far

all over, you see. The most Of them never
worship until they get to batting their feet.
There is the secret of the negro nature and 1t
