In accordance with the action taken
by the Board of Missions at its meet
ing held in Asheville, N. c.. In May,
1917 and similar action taken by
the executive and finance commit
tee OF this board, the corresponding
secretary accompanied Bishop w. r.
Lambuth to Brazil last summer.
The opportunity to study first
hand that mission field was greatly
appreciated and enjoyed. There is
absolutely no doubt OF the correct
ness of the statement SO often made
during the past quadrennium by
Bishop Hoss while In charge of Brazil
and by the former missionary secre-
tary, Bishop w. II. Lambutn, TO the
eject that the chief need in Brazil
at this time is suitable and adequate
buildings for our school, parsonage
and church work
Colored Methodist Episcopal Church.
The total amount of S3,ST5 WAS
realized from our plan adopted at the
annual meeting of 1909 to secure
funds to assist the coiorad Metho-
dist Episcopal church In building
houses of worship. Very few
Of the conferences assumed the
amount apportioned tc them for an
ether year. IT is not a popular ap-
peal among our people. In all sec
lions OF the church 1t Is claimed
that wherever a Coiored Methodist
Episcopal church is enterprised our
churches are canvassed thoroughly
by the pastor and other representa-
tves of the Colored Methodist Epis-
copal church, and that therefore they
do not desire to contribute In the way
Of a general collection for these
churches.
