the delegates south of this point.
Those from Alabama, Georgia, Fori-
da, South Carolina, and probably
North Carolina, will pass through
Nashville and on the 3rd and 4th
of May this city will be over-run with
African Methodists, iourneying to
Kansas City.
This resume would be incomplete
without the mention of DR.. ]. c.
Ca'dwell. Secretary of the Christian
Endeavor department This depart
ment of the Church work has been
dragging for twenty years 1t seemed
impossible for any man regardless
of his special training to make any
showing with the Endeavor Depart
ment DR.. Caldwell promised the del
egates at Norfolk that if elected he
would in four years do more with
this department than had been done
in all of the previous years. How
well he has succeeded can best be at
tested to by the record. His report
will show that he has organized and
has in active operation more Chris
tian Endeavor Societies in four years
than were organized by his prede-
cessors in the many years they were
the secretaries of the department. DR..
Caldwell has headquarters in the A.
NJ. f. Publishing House of this city,
and the people of Nashville are
deeply interested in his return. From
I every quarter comes the information
that the delegates throughout the
/ connection have settled on DR.. CaId
well for reelection. No one so far
has appeared in opposition to him;
but it is not believed that any one
viii announce. So it seems that DR.
Caldwell will be reelected by &C
clamation.
Another general officer who has
done a noble work is DR.. w. A. LOWS
i Secretary of the Preachers Ala De
partment He also has headquarter!
in Nashville. So it can be seer
that this city is rapidly becoming thu
headquarters of the A. NJ E. Church
DR.. Lewis has put in four hard years
work and has handled the business
of a combined department; for a
Norfolk the General Conference unit
ed two organizations that were work
ing to the same end One was cor
Quoted by DR. Lewis and the other b.
DR.. Heard, now Bishop. After Dl
Heard's election to the bishopric
was decided to merge his department
into that of DR.. Lewis under on
secretary. So well was the recor
made by DR.. Lewis that he was frs
elected by the department he repre-
scented and then after the merger wa
again elected secretary of both. 1t
not believed that the opinion of tn
, African Methodists has slackened /
the least of this man and it seem
a foregone conclusion that he will b
reelected with little, if any, oppos
: ton.
Most of the delegates who pas
, through Nashville will stop over fou
or five hours to visit the Publishin
} plant here and other important point
in the city. While here they will b
