The delegates, at least some OF them
declare that it is personal fight NOW,
between Bishop "A. j. Carey, and u,
I. Bryant, and they both have passed
the Fl milestone in life, and they must
stand or fall. The general conference
should not fight the battle of ona "
the other. If this is carried out then
the fur will fly or it will not Av but
the lamb and lion may lay down ".

my next letter
The delegates to general conference
remind me of our legislators. thew are
just bound to introduce some bin or
some measure or some resolution. and
this is what is being done right alnrg
Here comes Rev. NJ. S. Dixon. from
Mississippi, and he introduces 4 biu
in the general conference, hoping Il "
become a law, barring from holding
Office in the churches, such as dea.
conesses, stewardesses, class leaders
women who have their hair bobbed ~
wore sleeveless dresses, and some one
wanted to add to it short dresses Il
was asserted that some women wore
their dresses so short at the bottom
and so short at the top, that if thew
made them much shorter they would
be wearing dressless dresses. and then
came question mark? l do not m
derstand these statements, and | Shall
drop them myself.
For one time the sectional question
has been raised in the general con
ference, but what the result will "
am not prepared to say. | think II
will pass over in this race of ours. we
are all one. Whether North. South
East or West if you belong to our race
you are just there, and there is no
getting away. But here and there Won
may find some Of US who have been
tempered with to such an extent that
we are passing. But there are Others
of that fast color that God has guar
anteed will neither run nor rub. and
it IS out Of the question for them to
think OF passing. They must remain
with us now henceforth and forever.
l am in that class myself. Don't Be
afraid Of me getting away from the
race.
The general conference thus far has
been strictly a business concern, and
inspirational meeting, one for US all.
The first week, following the episcopal
address, and the announcement of
committees followed the report of
the general officers and all Of them
have reported, all the bishops have
been before the episcopal and this was
done in the first week. AT the opening
this week, among the first things was
the report of the episcopal committee,
recommending that three bishops be
elected, and honey, that makes fight
ing for place get in earnest. Fifty
candidates and only three to be
elected. l hope in this issue you will
have the names of the three. II the
election takes place Tuesday, you will
have it.
Now, when this is over, | am going
to visit Chicago for few hours, and
then off to Fort Worth, Texas, to be
with the Grand Lodge Of Knights OF
Pythias, and from there / will make il
to Cleveland for the National Baptist
Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Con
gress, June Is. This is going to BE
a big meeting am told. i have been
keeping you posted on these big meet
ings all the time.
| will have to bring this letter to
a stop, for I cannot tell it ali in this
issue, but in the next l may tell you
how it happened.
CHARLES E. STUMP.
