vention inclines me to walk where
angels fear to tread"
I have met a number Of the
Bishops of the Methodist persua-
sion. Men Of high character and
attainments-but men so fully alive
to the Importance of their high Of
fee as to make all but impossible
their consideration as just men.
Not so this Bishop. A man every
inch of him in stature, in ability,
but who in addition impresses as a
real man, with the burden Of his
Christianity deeply impressed upon
him. When be came from the pull
pit at one of the sessions, as the
women were seeking financial aid in
one of their projects-he came
down from the rostrum, as any of
the ordinary men of the congrega-
ton might have done-and helped
them raise the largest offering this
effort had ever produced.
It led Mr.. M. M. Fisher, himself
a prominent character in this con-
vention, to say to me as I sat with
him, "There's the finest man
know. Not a penny of that money,
nor any other raised in this con-
vention, will stick to his fingers"
Much more he said that tended to
raise my esteem of this man. But
I thought this particularly signifi-
cant.
May 1 conclude this brief review
by saying that it is the opinion of
many people who have expressed
themselves to me that this con-
ference was the best they ever at
tended. That if the persuasion can
hold the high character set by this
conference its future promises to
be bright indeed.

By w. NJ. Smith

The great A. M. E. Conference in
the Mill City is over. During its
session our paper has endeavored
and I believe successfully, to give
the highlights of its gatherings. To
me there is so much of interesting
matter that a newspaper can
scarcely mention, so much that l
feel is deserving of more than just
a mention, if there shall be pre-
served for future guidance the
beneficial things touched upon that
hesitate to attempt to chronicle
it.
One of the things which every
one seems to take for granted and
no one seems to find it necessary to
comment upon is the excellent ush-
er service.
Without the effective service of
the men and women of this division
the meetings of the week would
have been much less satisfying.
feel that when we stop to think of
it every one will wish to join me
in thanks to Mrs. Gertrude Banks
and her group for as efficient serv-
ice as ever given by any church
gathering anywhere.
believe every one who attended
these sessions will join me in
hearty praise of the music rendered
at every session with especial en-
phasis upon the musical efforts of
the several choirs on Sunday at the
First Presbyterian Church.
One of the things worthy of
mentioning, so far as my own
knowledge goes, is that all of the
excellent choirs heard during these
sessions were directed by women.
One other fact in connection with
the music given is that many of the
churches not directly connected
with the session and not even con-
nected with the conference assisted
as heartily as the choirs that had
such connection. Thus we find the
Baptists were represented by Zion
choir singing under the direction of
Mrs. Julia Magee, the Border NJ. E.
under Mr.. Clarence Underwood.
Both of these organizations gave of
their best and were by no means
the least of the singing groups rep
resented.
There was also the very fine
music of the choirs of the Metho-
dists themselves, directed by Mrs.
Mabel M. Lewis of st. Paul and
Mrs. Alyce Stewart of the Mime
apolis entertaining church. Just
now I am reminded that there was
a choir directed by a man, the Way
man choir was led by Mr.. B. L.
Greer and they gave a good &C
count of themselves.
But l must pass on and say a
word about the men. wish I might
pay my respects to the men who
really gave to this conference the
need of praise it justly merited
There were men who deserve all
that could commercially be said
and there were men not so fully ir
the limelight, who only did theil
duty, but did it fully and uncom,
plainingly and helped thereby tt
make this gathering the best ever

Poetic Thoughts
When Mother Is Sick
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.


When Mothers sick, home is not the same
No word can describe it or give it name
Try as we may her routine to carry thru
It's not the same all know to be true.
The days are long and nights are dreary,
For maybe you have to be watchful and weary
But in this kindly and ceaseless work of love-
Things must go and fit like glove
Extra work for each member of the family
Falls some chore of mothers, but happily
Therere done with the single thought
That they remember what they were taught
Responsibility comes to some early in life,
With children it helps, make good husband or wife
The home training is handy in all they do,
When Mother is sick her worries should be few
To be helpful to Mother when she is SICK
Proves that get kick,
Out of doing the things she's lovingly shown,
Which comes to children when there're half grown
Family love can daily be shown
In gratitude and it's best known,
That this acknowledgment firmly proves
We are cognizant that love still rules

GROCER TAKES
HIS LIFE HERE

Placing the barrel Of a % rifle
against the left side Of his head,
near the ear. w. T. DeBord, So
year-old 9Th avenue grocer, pulled
the trigger and ended his life in
the basement of his home at It's
So. Monroe st, Wednesday after
noon.
The tragedy was discovered by
neighbors. who had been summoned
by the mans wife when she failed
to find him in upper floors of the
residence after she returned home
from her husbands grocery store
at 2602 9th ave.
Remained ut Home
Mrs. DeBord told Detectives
George Burgeson and Henry War
rem. who were summoned to the
Monroe st. residence, along with
Coroner T. II. Long. that she and
son, Arthur, left home at s a. m.
to open the grocery store. Her
husband, she said, remained at the
house.
In the afternoon, she returned
to the family home and could not
find her husband. She summoned
Arne Holt and Virgil Nelson, neigh
bors, to aid her in her search for
DeBord. The neighbors went down
into the basement, where they
found the man lying on the cement
floor, the rifle beside his still form.
Had Been Ill
Coroner Long believes DeBord
ended his life shortly after his wife
and son left the premises.
Mrs. DeBord said her husband
had been suffering from a nervous
ailment. The DeBords came to Ia
coma from Chehalis on March 1,
this year, and purchased the gro-
Gerry store.
