No. %. What authority has
Bishop Curry to take a minister
from the Baptist Church, Rev.
W. ]. Davis, and ordain him an
elder before he has travelled one
day in the connection and had
only met one Annual Conference
before he was ordained. And
made a delegate to the General
Conference.
No, 49, It is alleged that none
OF the local churches can get any
help from the Church Extension
Department in Washington, the
reason being that Bishop Curry
personally collects all that comes
to the District and when he does
i give any to a church he makes it
appear that it represents per-
sonal donation from him. But
not even this has been done for
the last year. Is this true or not
true?
No. "a. 1t is alleged that the
trustees and members of a local
church had decided to wait until
they had finished raising the
money needed to make improve
ments on their parsonage and
had SO voted. But Bishop Curry
wanted them to 60 ahead when
he said so and he threatened to
move the pastor of the church if
ne did not proceed with said
improvements regardless to the
wishes of his officers. Is this
true or not true? What authori-
ty has a Bishop over a local trus-
tee board?
No. Is. Why is it that you don't
want the loyal laymen of the
"A. M. E. Church who have given
their lives in helping to build
and maintain the churches not to
be privileged to meet in the
churches?
