We say we have the right to vote, the right to own and manage property, the right to hold public office, the right to the protection of law. We too often forget that each of the rights in wolves a corresponding duty Speaking directly to the group of young men and women before him he stated: Your real problem is not escape from the tyranny of the past, but escape from the ty- ranny of the present. Many Of you are being badly pushed about, not by ancient, but by contemporary ideas. You are swamped in the confusion of competing standards, beckoned here, urged there, allured wonder, not by the dead hand Of old tradition, but by the thousand and one pressures and urgencies of this chaotic time. And there is only one way out for anyone: that is by in- terior standards of character. With out them, no-one can be an inde- pendent soul"
 Questions Asked
 At the close of MT. Faulkners ad- dress, questions pertaining to citi- zenship were asked by Alfred zeng- CT, Elwin Messer, Donald Wilcox Peter Warner, Harry Watkins and Herman Porter. which the speaker answered

II Pastors Changed
1T Close Of Colored
M. E. Conference

Philadelphia; AIontclair, N. j.. Sa-
lem, N. j., st. Daniels, Chester and
Asbury, Atlantic City.
Bishop Brown preaching on THE
Unprisonable Soul Sunday morning,
paid tribute to courageous souls of
the past and present from whose
lives we may learn that though the
devil may crowd us in and build a
hedge around us, he cannot build a
roof over our heads, and there is al
ways a time when we can look up
and find God"
Scores Lazy Preachers
He scored preachers who are too
lazy to apply themselves wholly to
their work, and who are more con-
cerner about dollars than they are
about the salvation Of souls How
ever, he cautioned laymen not to be
jubilant. "You ought to have that
sense of responsibility that will urge
you to support your preachers so
they won't have to worry about
money so much" he advised.
"Hitlerism, Facism. Communism
and such PHILOSOPHERS are out of
harmony with what our democracy
and religion stand for. although they
may have some good features about
them," he said. But if you want to
be free, you can't live in these cOun-
tries. and I prefer to live where l
can be politically and religiously
free"
DeplOres Roosevelt Position
Speaking on the increasing evils
of the liquor traffic, the bishop de-
plored the fact that President
Roosevelt made the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment one of his
major objectives as soon as he be-
came President. 'I wouldn't want
having anything to do with any
thing so unholy as the liquor traffic.
Our President is courageous. pro-
gressive, and has done some good
things, but this act alone casts a
shadow over all the good he may
have accomplished"
The bishop ordained the Revs.

Spencer, Warren H. Scott, and Dem

ence Bagwell as deaeons Sunday
