minister was occupying a position in
front of the Handley High school
building, directly in the path of the
queen as she was about to descend
from the esplanade for coronation by
Governor Byrd, and that a Wnches-

OMAHA WOMAN'S
BROTHER ELECTED
A. M. E. ZION BISHOP

Continued from Page ID
was elected secretary of foreign mis-
sions in May, 1920, at the general
conference in Knoxville, Tenn. Pre-
vious to that time, DIR. Matthews serv-
ed a term of four years as pastor and
presiding elder on the Pacific coast.
With the election of bishops out of
the way, the delegates attending the
general conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, which
was in session here, turned their at
tention to outlining of a program
which would serve as an impetus to
the progress of the church.
Of special Importance was the de-
cision to grant laymen equal repre-
sentation in the general conference.
This ruling was received with much en-
thusiasm, and ends fight which has
been going on for some time. Lay
men, contending that they support
pastors, presiding elders and bishops,
have sought equal representation for
number of years. The result this
year is expected to aid materially in
the advancement Of the great denom-
ination.
At the same time it was decided to
abolish all ex-officio membership in
the body so that in the future bishops
will have no vote in the general con-
ference except when presiding. The
last rule was somewhat of a surprise,
but was accepted graciously.
Approve Measure
The plan for organic union was
approved and if suitable arrange
ments can be made and carried out
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church and the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church viii be merg-
ed, making perhaps the strongest and
most influential organization among
Negroes in the world. The plan re-
ceived the unanimous endorsement of
the body and the action was reported
to the general conference Of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church by
wire.
Recommendation Of the committee
on church extension and home mis-
sions were adopted, which provided
for an increase in appropriations for
this work. and for special supervision
and more careful scrutiny of the OPP
erations Of the department.
All Of the reports submitted have
indicated clearly the rapid and sub
stantial growth Of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Zion Church. In prac-
tically every field, Of mission and re-
ligious work, the denomination is
making great strides forward. Pro-
gressive men are at the helm and the
old ship is moving forward.

j. H. Hutton, the accomplished wife
of Omaha's well-known and highly
