Handy is man, who, by the dint
of hard work and conservation to
his denomination has risen to his
present exalted position. Every
step which he has gained and every
honor which has been bestowed on
him has been won by merit and SER
vice to his denomination. African
Methodism in this country owes
much to Bishop Handy, for he is
among the men who has planted
its banner in the waste places and
who have never finched from any
duty because of hardships and sac
rifices. In all the positions with
which the church have honored
him he has shouldered the respon-
sibilities which they imposed and
been eminently successful. He
is a thorough race man and has
been intimately associated with a
great many measures which have
been inaugurated to advance the
interests of of his people.
