These are the things that divide us. Back to the New Testament pattern which was constitutionaly, essentially ana necessarily a unit and embodied all who had been born again. this is our slogan.
 How can we help in bringing about Christian unity? Pray for it as did our Lord; preach it; point our defects in all efforts to unite on any human creed; define the unity and characterize the union desired: by larger and more scriptural and permanent evangelism

C. M. E. Conference

"A race or nation who would sit down and depend on another race or nation to lift it up is unworthy of existence," were the words of Bishop G. w. Stewart, in calling to order the Colored M. D. con- ference, and have no respect for an idler, a gambler, a man who is too lazy to work his way up. It matters not what your calling in life may be, you must be willing to earn what you get, and not depend on people giving it to you.
 There was time in this country when the American negro had nothing to do but to live and die, so far as his provid- ing for himself was concerned. What he had was given him by another, and for and in consideration of the same he rem dered service. That was in the days of slavery. but now the white man Is not re- sponsible for him. and he must earn his own bread. clothes and shelter. If you would have help from others you must first help yourself"
 Rev. R. S. Singleton conducted the opening of the conference by reading scripture lesson and making prayer, and leading in the singing. After the reading of the, journal by Secretary Noble 1t was found that some of the ministers were behind in their reports S. This brought out a lecture from the presiding bishop who told the men If they were too lazy to work to get out of the way as the work must go on and many of them would be left at home. This is an age of men, and the age of work. If you cannot carry a mans burden, then take your place with the children and you will not be expected to pull with men.''
 At this point the Rev. Dr. Turner caused little stir in the conference by fainting. He was soon restored to normal condition and the work Of the conference went on. The Rev. Dr. R. T. Brown, editor of the Alabama In- dex, and who is mentioned for g bishop | in the church, delivered an address, telling of the work of Bishop Stewart, and declared that the Colored Meth odist Episcopal church was making wonderful progress
 The entire morning session was spent in hearing reports and general routine
 business.
