The Missouri people are determined
to make this the greatest session Of
the league in it's history and win give
to the national body more members,
annual and life, than any other place.
All OF this will be worked out In the
program Of preparation.
Charles Stewart, A. NJ, the noted

conferring with the local newspapers
and other leaders here. The local
league gave DR.. Stewart q banquet

Promoters Of Proposed Summer Resort

group of prominent colOred men to
clear up the ground and erect suitable
buildings for a summer resort on the
shores Of Crooked lake. near White
Cloud. Mich. to be ready for the sea-
son Of 1915, has many good features.

finally to confine the benefits to be de-

ers, every conference in the state pri
mary have pledged themselves to stand
by their candidate, DR.. G. w. West OF
Montgomery. DR.. West is a man en-.
dowed with exceptionally high moral
Christian character and rare intellect
Being born Of slave parents, Moses
and Elcy West, who have gone to
their heavenly home, he received his
early training In the public schools OF
his home. Later, when he reached
manhood, he was not satisfied with
this limited knowledge, 80 he hired
private teachers and applied himself
diligently to study for a number of
years.
He was ordained elder by the late
Bishop Gaines in 1883. Since that time
the degree Of doctor of divinity has
been conferred upon him by the Nor
ris Brown college. He has been pre-
siding elder seventeen consecutive
years, and with the exception Of only
once he has held each district five
years. He has been elected consecu-
lively to four general conferences. He
led his delegation twice and the state
delegation once.
That he is a loyal member Of the
church conference is evidenced in the
fact that he has been a member Of the
Alabama annual conference all of his
ministerial career Of thirty years and
has been present at roll call and bene-
diction Of each session with the excep-
ton Of one, when illness prevented
him. The fact that he has done 80
much for Payne university Of Selma,
Ala, and is now vice president Of the
executive board Of that school offers
most striking testimony Of his love for
education. He has two children, DR..
A. w. West, a leading dentist Of Mont
gomery, educated at Knoxville college
and Meharry Medical school at Nash
vile, and Miss Bertha G. West, who
attended the Knoxville college and is
now teaching In the State Normal
school at Montgomery.
DR.. West is treasurer Of the Alabama
conference, which responsible position
he has been reelected to for eleven
consecutive years. This alone proves
that he is honest to the core. He is
gospel preacher Of the first water.
Alabama stands third as to men,
bers and work and first In many
things throughout the entire connec-
ton, and we are the only branch Of
Methodists In the state that will allow
Negroes to be elected to the bishopric
that has not had one Of their number
elevated to this high Office. DR.. West
is pre-eminently qualified to meet the
demands of the episcopacy, and aside
from great unrest among both minis.
try and laity of the church in Alabama,
they are praying for the elevation Of
this worthy man of their choice.

Of religious questions affecting the
church will be gone into and a number
Of bishops elected to fill the vacancies
caused by deaths and to fill the de-
mands created for more bishops by
the wonderful growth Of the church
since the last general conference at
Kansas City, the conference will be ex-
tremely interesting.
This widespread interest is especially
intense in the state of Alabama. El-
ders, ministers, loyal laymen and Chris
tian workers are all making it the topic
Of the day in church circles. They are
all of one accord that the time is ripe
for Alabama to have representative
on the episcopal bench. Alabama has
never had one Of her sons so honored,
and yet she is the real leader Of the
connection in many lines Of church en-
deavor.

SIX GOOD REASONS
Why You Should Join The National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.

/. 1t teaches that race prejudice is
the most evil thing in the world to-
day and that "Jim Crow" cars, race
segregation, anti-intermarriage
laws and all other manifestations
of il are unchristian and cruel ef-
forts of the stronger to oppress
the weaker.
z. It combats in the courts, state
legislatures, the Halls of Congress,
the government departments and
everywhere the spirit of persecu-
ton against the Colored People
which grows out of race prejudice.
5. II aims to bring about such 4
healthy public sentiment in this
land that Colored People will be
accorded all their social, civil and
political rights and will receive
exact justice In all the relations of
life.
T. 1t believes in and teaches the doc
trine Of the Fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and the
equality of all races in our Amer
lean civilization.
s. It aims to uphold the honor of
our women by opposing the pas
sage of anti-~ace inter-marriage
laws
6. It is composed of members Of both
races and sexes on terms of COM
plete equality and as brothers and
sisters in this holy cause of free
dom.
An Appeal for Funds.
The Association needs mon
ey and new members. It costs just
one dollar to join. II you believe in
fair play, in fighting for your rights,
