Echoes From the Conference
Tacoma as always exemplified heI
faithfulness and last Sunday more
than twenty-five loyal Christians
journeyed to Seattle to see and
hear the Right Rev. Bishop Noah
W. Williams wind up one Of the
most colorful and prolific Annual
Conferences of the Fifth Episco-
pal District in its history.
Yes, 1t was the SIND Session,
and one many will never forget
for more than many reasons. The
reports as was evident were far
above previous years. Dr.. C. b.
Clements. Presiding Elder and
one of the first in the district,
loved by all who knew him
throughout the entire Northwest,
has been called to larger fields III
So. California. The return OF Dr.
Fred A. Hughes, former Pastor
of Seattle, by air from Saint
Louis was one of the happiest
moments for the whole confer
ence and the people of Seattle.
Bishop Williams sermon Sunday
morning was one of his best ever
delivered and had a telling eff
feet upon his hearers, so much so
that many found a rebirth In the
Holy Spirit. He saw thousands on
his trip to the Northwest this
year while ON other years there
were hundreds.
There is a definite work here
the most of which falls upon the
shoulders of the CHURCH ana
public spirited good citizens, with
the influx of the thousands from
other sections, was in most part
stressed by the conference. Men
of vision and courage are being
sought to lead. Ministers were APP
parertly selected for definite
charges whom the Bishop had
faith in to fulfill such charges in
spirit of Christian dignity COM
mensurate with the high stand
ards of the African Methodist /
Episcopal Church.
Rev. and Mrs. A. Roberts, OF
Yakima, with their lovely daugh-
ter, has been assigned to Tacoma
and will arrive this week. The Ia
coma citizens, we are very sure.
will join the entire membership
of the Allen Chapel A. M. E.
Church in meeting and greeting
the new Tacoma Pastor. Their
very fine personalities were evin-
ced throughout the conference
and should bring them a host of
friends in the City of Destiny
of all races.
