CHELSEA AME CHURCH
GOES BAPTIST

full-fedged Baptist Church. Since
September, 1889, many questions have
been asked as to what denomination the
church was, but the pastor felt that it
would be better to wait until he re-
signed from the A.M.E. Church before
answering the many queries. So now
the questions have been answered once
and for all-time, and from now on the
church will be called: peoples Bap-
fist Church"
From the beginning there was a great
deal of opposition coming from some of
the leading colored Baptist ministers of
Greater Boston to Peoples Church be-
ing admitted to the Boston East Bap-
fist Association, the same being con
veyed to officers of the Massachusetts
Baptist Convention, but Drs. Heath
and Dolan and the powers that be in
the Massachusetts Baptist Convention
and of the Boston East Baptist Asso-
''ation brushed aside this opposition
and the church was unanimously voted
into the Association, on September %,
1889 and not a single pastor of eau
caslan descent cast a dissenting vote.
DR.. Fuller has been asked many
times just why Peoples Church went
from one extreme, (the A.M.E. demon
ination) to the other extreme, 1.-THE
Baptist denomination when the church
has always been an A.M.E. Church
His answer was that Peoples Church
has, in reality, never been an A.M.E.
Church since it was built in 1911, as
the trustees Of said church never decided
the property over to the Mother Church
in trust or otherwise, and it took the
AM.E. Church of America Just thirty
wears to ascertain the truthfulness of
the fact that Peoples Church was the
property of the trustees of said church
and not of the A.M.E. Connection.
After finding this out, the present Bis
hop of the New England Conference
and his Episcopal henchmen made a
bold attempt to steal the property by
taking the trustees of said church to
court in 1887, but the Bishop and his
unchristian cause went down to igno-
minious defeat.
Just why did Peoples Church go

SEATTLE, Oct. 4.-Edward j..
Flynn, national Democratic chair
man. denounced as absurd" last
night a charge he attributed to
Wendell Willkie that "the New Deal
has let labor down"
Addressing gathering of Western
Washington Democratic party lead
ers and workers, Mr.. Flynn also
challenged the Republican presiden-
.tial nominees claim to harmonious
employer-employe relations in the
utilities firms he headed.
TT was here that Mr.. Willkie, the
self-made proletarian, announced
his recent and speedy conversion to
the cause of labor and announced
also that the New Deal has let labor
down." the Democratic chairman
said.
Il do not believe that any state
ment Mr.. Willkie has made is more
open to question than this one. The
Republican candidate should have
known that he could not escape ridi-
cule in making such an absurd
charge.
II think that Mr.. Willkie must
have forgotten about the Georgia
Power Co. of Atlanta when he made
that statement. In fact, l am sure
he did not remember, for when I
called the espionage activities of
that company to his attention he de-
MED my charges.
/. ut became necessary for me, as it
has on other occasions, to convince
Mr.. Willkie, to produce photostatic
records"
Mr.. Flynn said the reports OF the
Senate Committee on Education and
Labor listed that the Georgia COM
pany spent $3l l,9os.36 in the years
1934-5-6 for espionage"
The Democratic leader, who flew
here from Spokane, commented in
an interview that Il think a month
OF good campaigning is about right.
No campaign should start in June.

made"

! ground at the Lexington-Con-
cord bridge to face the oncoming
British Regulars, and here was
fired 'the shot heard round the
world.
Grimly the little band of pa
triots, known as the Minute
Men, took their valiant stand
for Liberty, Freedom and De-
mocracy as their leader quietly
gave his instructions, Stand
your ground-don't fire unless
fired upon-but if they want a
war, let it begin here.
No nation on earth enjoys the
blessings, the advantages and
the opportunities that are ours.
No people on earth live under so
enlightened and kindly a govern
ment. With all its faults, it has
withstood the test of time and
stands today as the worlds dom
inant power and the bulwark of
Democracy.
In appreciation Of those bless
ingS and advantages we should,
above all other peoples of the
earth, possess hearts aflame with
love of country and its demo-
cratic principles, and instill in
the hearts and minds of our chill
dren the same love and loyalty,
if the nation is to survive.
We need not teach our chill
dren to carry arms as do totali-
tartan countries, but we should
see to it that our educational in
situations, from grade schools on
up, encourage and foster love of
country and teach an answering
loyalty to those democratic prin-
ciples upon which it is founded.
There was formed in Miami
recently the Florida Congress
for Education on American De-
7mocracy, its purpose being to
arouse in the hearts and minds
of our people a knowledge of
what true democracy is, to slim
ulate our patriotism and encour-
age our loyalty to its teachings
and institutions. God knows
America needs such awakening.
Let us hope that we will so
progress during the coming year
that when the date of April 10
occurs next year we of America
will think of it as the birth date
of American Liberty, Freedom
and Democracy and find it so
heralded in the press, rather
than have it thrust on our front
pages as the birth date of a for
eign dictator.
April 10 is patriots Day., but
