ANOTHER RELIGIOUS PUBLISHING
HOUSE FOR NASHVILLE
E. CHURCH SEES CHANGE LOCATION OF PUBLISHING
PLANT-DR. J. HAMLETT EDITOR OF CHRISTIAN
INDEX WILL BE HERE ALSO :

Another Religious Publishing
House has been secured for Nash
vile and another enterprise that will
employ Negro help and Negro labor
has been awarded the City of Op-
portunity. This time it is the Colored
+ Methodist Episcopal Church which
in its recent General Conference
held at Chicago, voted to move the
Y. M. K. Publishing House from
Jackson, Tenn, to Nashville. and the
order was that as soon as practica-
BILE the Rev. DIR. Martin, who is the
agent, proceed to carry out the in
structions to move the location to
the capitol city of the state. While
the announcement of the establish
ment or this new religious enterprise
is DEBATED in being made, the CITY of
NASHVILLE and its business interests
nave already lined up and are MAX
= ing every possible effort to assure the
Y. M Il. people that they have begun
wise and forward steps. The plant
located at Jackson with all its ma
cnlnery is to be dismantled and moved
mere. They publish a complete series
OF Suneiay school literature under the
auspices OF their connection. Not
T only will the Publishing House with
lts interests come but The Christian
index, the official organ of the C. M.
e., edited by Dr. j. A Hamlett. will
come with the plant, thus Nashville
secures another newspaper. In ad-
dillon to this the secretary of edu-
cation under the c. M. L. Church
is also to establish office in this CITY.
Just where the new Publishing
plant will be located has mo- vet
been agreed upon, but it is under
stood that number of real estate
men and business firms and affiliat-
ing publishers have offered their
services. Letters of congratulations
have been poured in upon DR.. j. A.
Lester, who is member of the pub-
llshing committee and the president
OF the laymen's movement congratu-
lating the church upon what is re-
garded as perhaps the best move they
nave made for a number of years
While the vote on organic union was
regarded as an important piece Of
legislation, the consensus of opinion
seems that the most helpful part from
which the church is to receive the
greatest immediate relief will be thu
advantages secured by bringing sucf
plant to Nashville where it car
have the cooperation and affiliatior
OF the number Of denominations
rlaiits already located In the city
1t is stated that the M. e. Church
South with its mammoth concern OF
Broad Street, has congratulated tn
C.~M. e. on the move that the Ma
tional Baptist Publishing Board ha
also sent a letter of congratulation
and that a number of other firm
have done likewise. Just whethe
the c. M. e. people will begin thei
dismantling and changing Location
from Jackson to Nashville before fal
could not be learned, but those II
authority and higher up in Metho
dist circles feel that no time will b
lost and that before long the wheel
of the machinery and the Office fore
of this institution and plant will b
on their way to the "City of Oppor
tunity."
