After the ordination service four
teen young people came forward on
the invitation of Bishop Anderson
and dedicated themselves to the SER
vice of God.
DR.. E. T. Franklin led in prayer
the benedictlon being pronounced by
Bishop Anderson.
At the evening session the report
on benevolent work showed that the
Kentucky Conference has fallen but
$4,000 short and that Southeastern
Kentucky is $500 ahead of its quota.
Bishop James H. Harttzell spoke
of his early study Of Africa, of his
bringing the great continent to the
attention of the Conference and his
own appointment as bishop. With
broad. swift scene shifting, he re-
counted the mutual help that had
existed between himself and VIM.
Taylor, who for twelve years had
held up the need of Africa before
the world, without which the Afri-
can work might have been a failure,
Of his assurance that he would f.
nance VIM. Taylors needs.
! Africa, he declared, is a delayed
sentiment which was not ready for
christianity until slavery was gone.
1t is 5000 by 5000 miles in extent.
"How's that for circuit, brethern:"
Bishop Hartzell spoke Of his trips
of $4,000 miles of travel yearly
over Africa, his twenty-fouc trips
across the Atlantic to get suuds for
his work which the church could
not supply.
Africa is the coming continent
From southeastern Rhodesia doubt
less came the gold which the Queen
of Sheba presented to Solomon. Over
one third of the worlds gold comes
from johannesburg. At Kimberly,
Bishop Hartzell saw over one mil
lion dollars of diamonds on single
table. Africa has hundreds of square
miles of solid copper. Millions OF
square miles also will raise as good
crops as anywhere in the west. 1t
has mountains over 10000 feet in
height, beautiful lakes and rivers
over 10000 miles long. He vividly
described the different types and
said the population is doubling each
fifty years. In $50 there should be
400 million black Africans.
Harvard explorers claim to have
found the tomb of the Queen of She
ba. She had straight hair, colored
cheeks and features not negroid. It
is said that her son by Solomon was
the first ruler of the Menelik dyn-
asty. What history. Twenty-six
tombs show twenty-six dynasties
with straight hair. 1t is claimed
that tht first manufacturing of iron
was done by negroes. There are
eight hundred native dialects and
languages many of which are as
good as Latin. Never written, 1t has
taken 1000 years to develop some
of them.
The speaker told of the first es-
tablishing of the Christian Church
in Africa shortly following the Pen
tecost; of how it had thrived and
failed and finally had been almost
