| Pythian family one more time, and has
since the Supreme Lodge issued a
proclamation telling the world of the
return Of Missouri and Virginia, or !
should say of them having complied
with the law and were restored to good
health. A man who is law-abiding or
will enforce law is not always loved,
but DUTY first" is the motto Of S. w.
Green, and if the hammer should fall
on his own father, fall it must, and
while he would weep perhaps to see
the old man 60 down, but "Law must
be obeyed," would be his sympathetic
words.
Speaking of the A. M. E. Church, /
am reminded that Ira T. Bryant has
been speaking out in church lately. I
have no comment on any of the things
he has touched, but he is wonderful
young man. He IS brave and true to
conviction, and he is a man who
loves his church. He has gotten into
the hearts of his people, and has given
to the African Methodist Episcopal
Church a business administration as
secretary of the Church of the A. M.
E. Sunday School Union, and no one
can discredit his work. He will be re-
tanned in the position and should be.
Those who do not like him will give
him credit for service rendered. None
like him in all the world.
People are getting ready in Louis
vile for the great conference. But in
the midst of all, we must pause here
and pay tribute to another great man
who has fallen in Israel, or man in
Israel has fallen.
The death angel went way down to
Atlanta, Georgia, and said to Rev. R.
H. Singleton, "You have worked hard
enough, and / come to release you
from that burden which is so heavily
on your mind. Come thou with me
and enter the joys that await you" He
folded his arms and stepped into the
chariot and rode into Glory. God
bless the great man who has fallen.
desire right here to extend sympathy
to the widow and commend her to
God who worketh all things for the
good of man. He was slated for one
Of the bishops. He would have been
elected with John A. Gregg, A. L.
Gaines and J. c. Anderson. Rev. ]. c.
Caldwell is to return to the work
among the young people, and S. ].
Johnson, Of Texas, will succeed DR.. B.
f. Watson. I will tell you of other
things to take place in Louisville
from tome to time
| am here to attend the anniversary
of the Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, D.
d., pastor Of the Macedonia Baptist
church, and a preacher of the deepest
dye. He is an official Of the National
Baptist Convention, and one Of the
leading men of this country. He is
truly leader Of men and am real
proud Of him. The people are making
much of a fuss over him. Well, he
deserves it.
i remember how he made a hit over
in Europe, as did others of this race.
Rev. r. a. Adams, the man who vies
with the coal for complexion, who
went to Europe, and the night before
sailing called on God to do the almost
impossible thing, MAKE him whittier
than snow" was in Arkansas and ]
shook his lily black hands, as he shook
mine. He is doing good in this world
