New Bishop Gives
Farming Ministers
Verbal Spanking

Charleston, S. c., Nov-(By the
Associated Negro Press-Exhorting
delegates to the Palmetto conference
of the African Methodist Episcopal at
Ebenezer church here this week,
Bishop Noah Williams, raised to the
episcopacy at the recent general con-
ference in Cleveland, Ohio, belabored
those classes of preachers who neg,
lect to put the fire of the Holy Spirit
into their dead letter" sermons, and
also those who neglect the work of
God to devote their time and energies
to farming. "
"This latter day ministry must get
power from on high to preach the
Gospel" the bishop said. "You cannot
have financially successful church
unless you have spiritual church.
People must get heavenly inspiration
from the church. If they don't there
are no other institutions on earth
where they can receive it.
"The churches must engage in pray
ing and singing. When Paul and Silas
were in prison, at midnight they pray
ed and sang praises unto God and the
foundations Of the prison were shaken
and Immediately all the doors were
opened and everyone's bands were
loosed. Now, if we would have this
prison door of depression opened we.
must follow the examples of these
apostles. 80
''The church needs intelligent min
listers and they must prepare their.
messages, but unless their messages
are accomplished by the Holy Spirit
they are no more than dry essays.
The Gospel will cut it's own way. I
exhort you to make no apologies, but
to preach simply the pure Gospel of
the Son of God" ~
Bishop Williams then directed his
shafts at the preachers who fail to
live UP to the financial responsibilities
of their denomination. He charged
some of them with being lazy, others
with deyoting too much attention to
farms. and still others by undermining
their influence in their individual
churches by directing criticisms at the
general church.
II am not against farming" he said.
think more of us should go to the
farms, especially from these congested
cities. But those pastors who are put
ting in more time on their farms than
they are on their charges. I am go
ing to relieve of their charges so that
they can give all of their time to
farming.

HOLLYWOOD, March 16
N.S.).-Tallulah Bankhead,
actress and daughter of five

men, is merely amused when
she is reported engaged to
someone-because she doesn t
believe in engagements!
After denying she was engaged
to Joel McCrea, stalwart young
Hollywood actor, Miss Bankhead
declared today:
"I'II never be betrOthed. These

make me laugh. Ft
"When I find myself deeply
enough in love to get married,
I'll do so on the spur of the

gagementS, solitaire rings and
the usual fOl-de-rOI of announce

"These reported betrothals
are extremely amusing, but they
are a waste of headlines. 1t is
boring to be engaged so fire.
quently. The only saving grace
is that all my supposed fianceS
happened to have been good
looking. And, oddly, I've met
most of my future husbands
only once or twice.
"It is perfectly silly to set
love standards. When love
comes it is likely to be differ

plan?

Americans? Well !G;Ccsn tribes
have their good points, and

make her happy.

Both are interesting ap-
prOaches, but the wife may
spoil an English husband, and
an American do the same for
his wife.

Miss Bankhead did not discuss
McCrea other than to admit he
was handsome.
Other men whose names have
been linked with that of Miss
Bankhead are: Gary Cooper,
Ronald Colman, and George

Vanished Baby to Return Some

Copyright. 1892, International
News Servicel

HOPEWELL, N. j., March
16 (IN.S.).-"If" is a banned
word in the household of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh.
While the rest of the world
talks about eff" the kidnapped
child will be returned, the
famous aviator and his wife
say when" young Charlie is
returned.
In the face of overwhelming
encouragement in the hunt for
their missing son, they cling to
the spoken belief that some day,
somehow, the child will be
brought home.
This was confided to Interna-
tional News Service today by an
intimate friend of the family.
Hold Abiding Hope
Asked if the Lindberghs would
continue to dwell in their big
white house on Sourland Noun
tain, the friend said:
"They will stay right where
they are waiting for the baby's
return.
"YOu can't mention the word
If to the Lindberghs. They
will not think of anything but
the baby's safe return. They
could not go on unless they
believed they will see him
again"
But how Iong?"
Always"
The household has settled down
to routine, however. No house
hold could continue under the
terrific strain that was placed on
the Lindbergh family those first
few days after the baby was
lifted from his crib and spirited
away. Eating, sleeping, doing
normal things like walking or
reading were dispensed with en-.
tirely. The whole family, includ'
ing Mrs. Dwight Morrow, mother
Of Mrs. Lipdbergh, ate sandwiches
and drank coffee at odd moments
and scarcely ever went to bed at
night.
Regularity Prevails
All that is change. Now meals
are served at regular huorS, and
Mrs. Lindbergh and Mrs. Morrow
go to bed early at night.
Colonel Lindbergh still sits up
until past midnight, waiting for
the telephone to ring with the au.
thentic message that his child is
ready for delivery-some place.
But even he has learned that
strong constitutions and iron
nerves, too. require proper nour'
