Great Success
By Eunice Brown

The new Phillis Wheatley Camp
was the scene of many arguments
and discussions as twenty-five del
egates and ten observers met for
the week end Youth Leadership
Clinic, Aug. "a and %.
Miss Magnolia Latimer keynoted
the conference in the Saturday aft
ernoon session with a brief history
of the development of the science
of social service, followed by a re-
sumo by John Thomas of the prob
lens, economic, social and national
that confront youth today.
The evening session was high
lighted with Mrs. L. O. Smith, at
torney, and DR.. w. D. Brown Civ
ing the group an insight on essen
tials of good community organiza-
ton as seen from the eyes of the
doctor and lawyer.
Sunday morning after a brief
chapel service, discussions were
held by Ray Hatcher, Henry
Thomas, Ethel Ray Williams and
John Thomas on group work and
problems, parliamentary rules, and
necessity for keeping accurate and
full record of club proceedings.
Histories purposes and develop
ment of outstanding youth groups
today were presented in the after
noon session by Erma Clardy, Dick

ter who proposed organization of

their church obligations.
Mrs. Cora Grissom, another
member, spoke against the present
pastors return.
Ora C. Hall, prominent A. M. E.
Church layman and member Of the
stewards, got up in defense Of the
pastor. In speaking of the news
paper publicity about the matter
he said Rev. Hayden and the editor
of the paper were not on good
terms, implying that the
reason for the news stories which
have appeared in the paper was be-
cause of the feeling which he said
existed between the editor and the
minister. Mr.. Hall was interrupted
by Mrs. Hortense Brown who re-
minded him that the individual
who should receive sympathy was
not the pastor but his wife, the
mother of six children. AS Hall
continued to talk he was Kissed
and many stamped their feet prac-
tically forcing him to conclude his
talk. H.
Archer Speaks
Bismarck Archer, another trus-
tee, spoke of the fine work Rev.
Hayden had accomplished in St.
Paul, but said his work here was
finished, asserting that he did not
believe the minister could complete
the job here because of the mis-
understanding now present. He
praised Haydep's ability as a
speaker.
Charles H. Miller, veteran A. M.
E. Church figure, defended Rev.
Hayden, citing what he said was
his accomplishments. Anti-Hayden
members Kissed him as they did o.
G. Hall. George Bell, class lead
er, spoke on the general condition
of the church. Mrs. Stella Holsum-
back, who defended the pastor in
a letter in a recent issue of this
paper, questioned the audience as
to what mess" many of them re-
ferred to in their talks against the
return of the pastor.
Blow To Pastors Supporters
The whole meeting was a blow
to the forces who favor the young
minister observers say. 1t was I'M
derstood that the bringing of the
bishop to, st. Paul would halt the
anti-Hayden forces by forcing them
out in the open. They came out in
the open in such great numbers that
there was little opportunity to turn
the church conference into a pro-
Hayden meeting.

board and the pastor in an effort

others of the church were on hand
to greet the prelate. The church

reminded the audience that he and

non-members of the church be ex-
cused because the church was hold
ing a family" meeting. A number
of the visitors complied with his
request.
After his talk Frank Branson,
suspended steward, arose to his
feet and asked the bishop why he
had been suspended from the stew
ards board. The bishop did not un-
derstand Mr.. Branson, evidently,
and Richard L. Stokes, ST., a men,
Der of the trustee board, explained
Mr.. Branson's question.
The bishop told him that his sus-
pension was a matter which would
have to be taken up at regular
quarterly conference.

ping the church for the past sew
eral weeks. He said because of con-
ditions existing he could not be
with Rev. Hayden.
Mrs. J. E. Johnson, prominent
woman, Sunday School teacher
and wife. of another trustee, said
she was for the right but when a
person is wrong they are just
wrong whether they be minister or
layman. She said she could not
support the church as long as Rev.
Hayden remained there.
Mrs. Bessie Powell, stewardess,
prominent in the congregation, de-
Tended Rev. Hayden and said that
she had told him that if he re-
manned at st. James he would be
"crucified." She said she had urged
him not to seek return here.
Bishop Doesn't Answer
Mrs. Eva Neal, a member of the
church since she was one month
old, and active civic and religious
worker, asked the bishop whether
the church would be obligated to
pay any loan which the stewards
might make for the purpose of
paying church conference claims.
Bishop Gregg did not answer the
question but said the members
should be good Christians and pay

Addresses Negro
Business Men
National Youth Administrator Pays
Tribute to Booker T. WASH
ingtOn.

Detroit.-Aubrey Williams, Ad-
ministrator of The National Youth
Administration, was one Of the
principal speakers at the mass
meeting of the National Negro
Business League on the evening Of
August Goth. Each year this or
ganization composed Of Negro
business men and those interested
in the business progress of Ne
groes, devotes one evening of its
convention to what is popularity
known as Founders Night. The at
tendance at the Detroit Convention
represented business men and lead
ers from practically every state in
the nation.
Booker Washington Praised
Referring to the founder, Book
er T. Washington, Mr.. Williams
paid tribute to him as San educator
of the first, rank who will be re-
membered for charting the way in
Negro education towards a prac-
teal training which recognized the
dignity Of labor" "Today as dur
ing his time," he said, "the philos-
ophy he developed holds good not
only for the Negro race but for
every other race as WELL" In ex-
planning the program Of The Ma
tional Youth Administration he
emphasized the fact that it is es-
sentially a work program and has
as its main purpose the develop
ing in the youth of basic work
habits and skills that will fit him
for a place in the work world.
False Prophets
"Rut work is not the only thing"
he cautioned. eve must not lose
sight Of the fact that education
must teach young people to think
accurately, choose, wisely, come to
their own conclusions about things
in which they are interested, and
most of all in these trying times,
to distinguish between truth and
propaganda. They must not be led
astray by false prophets who would
have them believe that the demo-
cratic ideal is not a workable one. "
He gave to his audience chal-
longing picture Of youth in the
present world situation and drew
startling parallel between the
critical period in race relations dur
ing the time of Booker T. Wash
ington and the present period in
which the world is undergoing vio-
lent social and economic changes.
"The big problem before the Amer
lean people today is. one Of Ma
tional Defense" he said, "and our
job is to SO serve youth that the
world will find them ready, willing
and capable Of doing their share to
preserve America. for themselves
and for those who follow them"
