nv PERCY GREENE

PARISH STREET saturday
night: Soon after I got back to
my regular haunts along the Ole
Avenue, after spending some time
out to the fair grounds, got in
conversation with some of my
Brothers in the Faith about the
doings out at Pearl Street AME
Church, where the East Mississippi
Conference had been holding forth
in its saith Annual Conference
since Wednesday morning. On the
conference Agenda, was the well
come program planned and arrang-
ed by the Local Church, into which
a lot of effort and expectation had
gone from the local communicates
The program had been scheduled
for Wednesday night, which is
when 1t took place, but not until
one preacher had preached an
hours sermon, another had con-
sumed about an hour in general re-
marks mostly about his particular
pet ideas, and another had consum-
ed nearly as much time in the pre-
lininary remarks, considered by
him necessary before Opening the
Doors of the Church." on the as
sumption that the Sermon had
been OF such that somebody ought
TO have been ready to hit the trial
to the MournerS Bench.
After all these proceedings, which
by that time had allowed the

But by the time the Welcome Pro-
gram got started all the visiting

were getting welcomed had gone.
except but few, leaving mostly
the folks on the program, and some
of the Preachers in the Pulpit,
who were, more than likely In too
CONSPICUOUS spot to get up and
go.
What I wanta say was indicated
in the opening remarks of DR.. A.
M. Hair, one of the speakers on
the welcome program, who said it
didn't appear that welcome need
ed saying, that 1t looked like the
confrees had just moved in and
made themselves welcome, anyway.
One of the fellows of the faith
said that everybody thought that
the welcome program should have
been the first, If not the only
thing on the Wednesday night
program, which is the way I thought
but he said that that was the way
they had been doing in the church
conferences for rs years, and that
was the right way. Then another
said that it showed how little re-
gard the preachers and folk had
for the rank and file, and it ought
to be changed.
If that preacher that preached
that Hour or-more Sermon, that
led the other preacher to think
that somebody ought to be ready
to come to the Mourners Bench,
said anything at all, it was when
he said that Richard Allen start
ed that church on the idea that
it would give expression to the Lay
men, and that it was going to
break up soon if it din't make a
complete about face in the manner
of doing a lot of things. AS most
OF the fellows thought, the way
the welcome program came on,
served to emphasize the low degree
to which the laymen, and local
Rank-and- File member, have de-
scended in the minds of the Bish-
ops, Presiding Elders, and Preach
ers, and what that preacher said
in the sermon ought to be said
over and over again wherever
Bishops, Presiding Elders, and
Preachers of the AME Church get
together.

words: the Cuban In contrast with
the American is somewhat senti-

When he has arrived at con-

it not as result of cold, deliberate
