Nature HAD Already Done Remark
ably Good Job.
The lrishman has humor. but when
1t comes TO real merriment the negro
is always ready for the occasion.
One night there stood in front of
an auto shop one of that sort of men
whom liquor makes a political orator.
Every question from the trusts to the
condition of the workingm came
III for lurid if not lucid criticism.
Finally the color question came to his
mind and in less than ten minutes it
was solved with the facility of the
true reformer. All the negroes were
deported and running a nation of their
own.
At this, point some small boys armed
with a bottle of settler began opera
lions, and by that time the profanity
of the speaker had reached a high de-
gree of efficiency.
All this time negro had sat calmly
Indifferent to the curses heaped upon
him. answering with broad grins. At
last the speaker turned, saying: You
want to make a. fool out of me?"
The darky replied in the character

things. But alas; they seem to be
poWerless. Often their earnest efforts
to reform the church under them. are
minimized by the compromising or
apologize position of their associates.
What shall we do about these things?
Denying them, or growing frantic be-
cause somebody told it out, will not
help the case. The world knows these
things to be true, and we are losing
influence, and power because Of these
things. Here is the only remedy
We must enforce the laws of the
church everywhere and with every
body. Bishops, presiding elders. pass
tors and officers conferences, general
boards and general officers must rec
ognize the supremacy of the law, no
matter how many members we may
lose by it.
Character and true righteousness
must be regarded above financial abil-
ity. and evil doors must be spued out
OF our ministry no matter how great
financiers they may be.
Finally, Christians should not be
unequally yoked together with unbe-
levers. "For what fellowship hath
light with darkness" or what part
hath Christ with Belial? Secret So
cieties are the curse OF the church
and certainly. bishops and ministers
should not be mixed up with such I'M
fruitful works of darkness Nearly
every minister of bad reputation in
the connection is a Mason or an Odd
Fellow. They join these orders for
the protection they afford them in
their devilment.
Brethren. God is calling. Come out
from among them and be We separate
Will we heed the call? Or will we
persist in the downward course until
we awake to find the church cursed
Of God and blown to the winds. It
cannot stand twenty-five years longer
at the downward rate.

THROWS HOT SHOT INTO a. N. E
CHURCH CAMP.
Church Law Openly Defed-Drunk-
ards, seducers. Thieves, etc, Trans
ferred Around and Kept in Good
PIaces-A Terrible Arrangement.

A recent writer in the Christian Re-
corder repeated the old cry, ."The A. M.
E. Church is in the Throes of Death .
IN justification OF his statement he
quoted literally from a number of
prominent writer's on conditions on the
church. | do not rise to try to contro-
vert the claims of any of these wise
men. But granting that all that they
say is true, l would find fault with
them for not probing a little deeper to
find the causes of this sad state of
affairs and offering us some remedy.
1t is useless to seek a remedy for
any disease until we have ascertained
it's origin, whether it be mere erup-
ton of the skin or whether the blood
Is impure. Ointments will not cure
bad blood
| believe that the first great cause OF
SO much rebellion and corruption in the
church, lies in the wholesale disre
gard for law and authority.
Who obeys the law in the A. NJ. e.
church? The laymen do not. And if
one minister undertakes to enforce the
law on the members, other ministers
undo all that he does. For this reason
members must be left to do as they
please for fear that we will loose
them.
Again ministers are not required tC
obey the law. and how can they en-
force it on others? If minister does
anything wrong. rarely can he be
punished. In fact, it is seldom that
any attempt is made to punish him
The bishop just transfers him to an
| other conference and thus saves the
brother the humiliation of answering
charges and the bishop the trouble OF
having trial. This is true often, when
the complaints are OF the vilest nature
Thus law has no terrors for wick ed
men who have intruded themselves in
to our ministry. Drunkards, seducers
adulterers and thieves are transferred
around the country and kept in first
class charges, bishops transferring
them well knowing the rottenness OF
their character and the laity lookins
on at our support OF criminals.
Since the law is not kept by the min
listers. nor enforced against ministers
by conferences and bishops. it becomes
useless.
Again the law is not kept by the
bishops. Or at least, by many of them
1t is constantly violated by the trans.
