that the mere fact that two bish-

the credentials committee decided

The decision may be costly. Italy

The League cannot survive many

to a vital principle the League

Aged Pastor Talks
Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of 19
street Baptist church in Wash
ington and one of the oldest active
ministers in the faith, delivered an
address telling how he was con-
verted 81 years ago and had been
pastor of 10th Street Baptist fol-
81 years. He called for a united
Baptist family and requested the
pastors to lead the churches in
giving handsomely to missions.
Prejudice Enroute
White people of Jacksonville
have been fairly polite to the Wis
itors. The mayor did not come to
welcome the convention, but he has
never addressed a colored confer
ence and evidently did not want to
soil his reputation this ime. He
however, sent a letter Of greeting
by Rev. w. C. Sayle, a white min
lister who spends much time among
Negroes and helped to raise money
for the convention committee.
The writer and his party were
insulted by a white roughneck in
North Carolina who threatened to
kill US for parking u car near
his gas station. I had to talk to
the younger men in the group to
keep them from having a fight
with the Southerner. The South
is still the South and has not
