have noticed that whenever 3 negro is introduced to a big religious gath
 ering of white people and given 8
 chance to speak that he is going to sweep his audience. Dr. Turner was no exception. His remarks about there be- ing three kinds of Methodists among the colored people and his discrimination between them was quite effective, and
 when he claimed that the conference to
 which he belonged was the only real ter.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-02

Continuing. he sald Some people talk about deporting the negro, but I am like a friend of mine, who said that whenever the negroes are sent out of America he wants to go with them" He was strong in his belief in the need of foreign missions, but he was equally as sure that 1t was true mission work to care for the black men who were in our midst, and that the church ought to stand by them and help them in every possible way in their schools.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-02

We'll about the ops sermon. I haven't space. my colur.s is full. can
 only say that he is not only one of the greatest preachers in Methodism. but he lis one of the greatest preachers in
 America. And saying this believe is as high praise as any man needs to have. for having heard many of the most gifted in other lands. think my own country is the richest of all when lit comes to true pulpit oratory.

Just before the morning session was concluded Bishop Denny announced that the conference had time to hear from any one who had a message. This was pr. George Stuarts cue. and he intro- duced Dr. w J. Turner, colored, presi- dent of the Niles Memorial college, and those present gave him warm greet ing because pr. Stuart had told them of the great effort he was making to build up worthy institution for his race.

The fact that there is no legal restric- tion against bringing liquor into Wash ington for personal use will lead to a number of private quart parties

Getting aroused he turned to Bishop Denny and said, With your permission want to start collection right here his work" The presiding bishop laugh ingly replied, T knew if gave you a chance to talk you would take col1ec- tion for something before you quit so just go ahead"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-02

I like to have forgotten the best part of tho collection taking, for some one said, Let pr. Turner raise hymn while we como forward with our gifts."
 It was happy idea, Up stood the giant of a man and began to sing as only a negro can melody that soon had about half the congregation in tears. I was shilling myself. The words, Lord, want to be Christian, with their variations as they fell from the lips of the colored brother. whose soul was in the song, touched every heart. It was like showers of blessing falling on a tired crowd that had been sitting for nearly four hours.

And he did. giving evidence that he Is a past master when 1t comes to lift ing a collection. Some brother said,
 Let's make 1t . negro offering by com ing up and putting it on tho table," but & wiser collector objected and proposed that the clerk take down the names of those who would give. This was done and later they were allowed to put 1t
 down on the table. sveral hundred dol lars was raised.
