ton Of devil feeder, and l am now
asking in my mind whether or not
Prof. William Pickens, Of educated
fame is trying to cheat some other fell
low out of the job. Let US hope and
pray that he has been misunderstood
that he is not educated away from the
Bible, but closer to it.
It is going the POUNDS that this
scholarly gentleman, the man Of let
ters, the man who has gone through
some Of the great American Univer-
sites, has said that there is no hell,
that the Jonah story rs a joke or
something like that, and several other
things in the Bible which he has
placed a question mark behind it, and
IS telling to the world that they do not
come up to his ideal, or ideas Of
things. If he is saying such, and if
he has that kind Of stuff in his knowl-
edge bump, he had better get it out,
and if he fails the hell is his abiding
place and the devil his boon COM
panion. l can only say to him fare
we'll, and when he makes his exit,
would like for him to leave his ad-
dress that / may tell others where to
reach him with communication.
/ wonder when Dean Pickens was
teaching in Wiley University, Tallad-
ega college, and other religious insti-
tutions whether or not he taught that
kind of doctrine to the young people,
and if he did and they heard him, then
we have some more of them kind of
things. You see he has been a joiner,
and / think at last he joined the A.
M. E. church, declaring that it was
just the place for him. But l may be
mistaken about that, but | do know
that he is not responsible to any
church now for the National Associa-
ton invites saints and sinners all
around to tell what a dear Savior
they have found. 1t is not a church
organization, but the two races COM
bine in this to do good
Let us hope and pray that there is
a mistake about this Tommy Rot, and
help us to do good. We have no rep
resentative men and women to lose.
God grant that all is we'll
/ note that the world continues to
move, and people are moving in it,
some are helping it to become greater,
and man is growing more and more
each day like his Creator. That IS,
man was made in the image Of God,
and then he had a fall which smashed
him completely, and he is gradually
being restored to that likeness, hence
he is doing wonderful things. He is
reaching out his hand and getting his
brother, helping him to rise. | have
in mind now and l have been associ-
ating with him, who is doing that very
thing, Bishop John Hurst, of Balti-
more, Maryland. God help US to re-
alize what greatness we have in him.
Mans greatness depends on how
much God he gets in him or how we'll
he tunes his mind in harmony with
God Like Enoch, believe Bishop
Hurst has walked with God
Realizing his worth and ability in
1912, the general conference held in
Kansas City. Mo-, elected him to the
episcopacy, and made John r. Haw-
kins his successor Bishop Hurst was
assigned to district that no other
bishop wanted because it was in a
heluva fix. Men Of Florida had their
hands in each others Threats, and a
bishop sent down here felt like he Is
being sent to eternal punishment.
Bishop Hurst when he heard his as
eminent, realized that it was mans
Job and he asked God to 60 with him,
or let Jesus accompany him to the
place where work had to be done.
Reaching here he not only found
the state divided into factions, but he
found a school, Edward Waters coli
lege without credit, and people laugh
ing at the efforts. Business houses
looked upon it as playhouse and
would not grant FIVE cents worth o.
credit. The debts were many and
large Bishon Hurst preached his
first sermon which went something
like. this in text: i came to know
nothing among you brethren save
Jesus Christ" He was sought by
each faction, but If was soon discov-
cred that his life and action was in
keeping with his sermon, and the con-
tending forces as they fell in opposi-
ton to the plans for advancement
they found their heads in the guillo-
tine, and off fell head
The Rev. John Dixon, one of the
leaders found that he was against a
man, and fell in line. DIR. John A.
Gregg, a graduate from the University
Of Kansas, and is now slated for the
episcopacy was called into the coli
lege as president, by Bishop Hurst.
and the school began to grow, credit
was restored and now it is one Of the
greatest institutions ia the country
