dressed the conference on "The

hope Negroes will be considered in
postwar programs as we'll as in the
present programs. Rev. l.. A. Lewis,
former pastor of Caroy Temple, said
a solution for many of our racial
difficulties will come when the
church returns to Cod" He stressed
the Fatherhood of God and brother
hood of man in his address on "The
State of the Church."
Bishops George w. Baber and
John H. Claiborne, both recently
elected at the Philadelphia conven-
ton, graced the conference. Bishop

South Africa and Bishop Claiborne
to West Africa.
Other prominent AME leaders

conference, were Charles Wesley
president of Wilberforce university
and Dean John A. Lewis, Payne SEM

ANGELS Must Give Real
Name Or No Ballot,

NEWARK, Sept. 22.-(ANP)-|
Angels" with names like "Holy
Peace" and "Holy Love" will have
to come down to earth and give their
real names at election time, Supt.
Miolo announced.
"While there is nothing illegal or
improper in persons taking an as
sumed name," Miolo explained,
election laws require registrations
in the true name SO that the quail
fcations and the identity of the per-
son asking to vote can be clearly es-
tablished, thereby avoiding open
ing the doors to fraud and misrep-
resentation."
"Patience Faith" is said to have
attracted Miolo's attention when she
came into the office and attempted
to register under such a name. Eff
forts to check on her real name
failed.
Miolo further explained that a
provision in the law forbids persons
from registering under an assumed
name, as such persons may have
been convicted of disfranchising
crime.
Back in 1886 Father Divines"
"angels" sought to register under
their cult names, but were prohib-
tied from doing so by Common Pleas
Judge Van Ripper.
voting is a privilege and the
state has a right to throw safe
guards around it," Van Ripper said
1t is believed that Holy Peace
Miss Holy Love and Patience Faith
all are members of Father Divine's
"peace" circle.

LEADERS TO STUDY

NEGRO QUESTION

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-(ANP)
is nothing like it in
America" declared DR.. L. D. Red
dick in describing GA World View
of the Negro Question" the special
course of study which the General
Education board is providing for
Harlem leaders and public officials
this fall. This course will take up
the problems, developments, mass
movements, ideologies and leaders
of the Negro people in Africa, the
West Indies, South America and
the United States. The lectures on
those topics will be leading scholars
and writer's in the field including
such men as DR.. w. E. B. Dubois,
DR.. Otto Klineberg of Columbia
university, DR.. E. Franklin Frazier
of Howard university, DR.. Herbert
Northrup of the National War
Labor board, DR.. Charles S. John
son of Fisk university, Krishnalal
Shridharani Of India, Ernest Kali
bala of Uganda, DR.. Eric Williams,
formerly of Trinidad, Lin Yutang
of China.
The course will be directed by
DR.. L. D. Reddick Those persons
who are not leaders or public Of
ficials and who wish to take the
course will register at City College
any time after Sept. Is. The same
material will be covered and this
course will be taught by DR.. L. D.
Reddick.
"This unusually promising pro-
ject will be failure unless we are
able to persuade the leaders of
social service agencies, mass move
ments, churches, fraternities and
public administrat ors in and out
side of Harlem to go back to school
for two hours each week. 1t is a
fact that unless these leaders and
public officials get world view
of the Negro question and race re-
lations they will not be fit to handle
the tremendous problems which we
shall face in the post war PERIOD"
concluded DR.. Reddick.

GREAT HOSPITAL THAT
GROWS OUT OF FLAMES

JACKSONV WILDE, Sept. %
( (ANP)-In 1901 great fire swept
this city leaving in its wake the
dead, the injured, and the destroyed
property assessed'at millions of dol
lars.
1t was a big problem to dispose
of the bodies, but still bigger prob
lem was what to do with the nearly
dead and those not fatally burned.
There was no hospital for Negroes
in Jacksonville.
At jefferson and Seventh streets,
temporary first aid station was
thrown together. Patients flowed in
for treatment. By the time the Saith
Negroes burns had been cared for,
the towns citizenry felt fully the
need for permanent hospital facil-
tiles for the colored population. 1t
was agreed that the first aid station
should be maintained and enlarged.
Contributions began to trickle in,
notably substantial ones from win
ter visitors.
Soon frame wooden structure
with 25 beds was erected. 1t was
totally inadequate in staff, facil-
tiles, and equipment. But start
had been made-and Brewsters hos
pital grew and grew.
Today, where the small first-aid
station once stood the extensive
Brewster hospital has grown into
once of the finest and most modern
hospitals for Negroes in the coun-
try. Only the war has curbed tenn
porarily it's expansive building pro-
gram to further enlarge it's facil-
tiles.
The hospital presently houses 125
beds, and the operating room sur
