sonality, his home, his activities
were soundly consecrated. Amid
the blackness Of surrounding heath
endom, his life shone with the very
light Of Christ.
Paul presumed upon the reality
of Philemon's faith when he sent
back the reformed renegade slave,
for whose debts he made himself
responsible. For the great change,
which is the .ever-continuing mir
|acle Of Christianity, had taken place
In Onesiinus. He was no longer the
sniveling, shifty, scheming slave
with q heart full Of bitterness, but q
transformed servant of Jesus Christ
The letter he bore, penned by the
aged Paul's own trembling hands
certified him as fit for the fellowship
Of believers.
On the surface of this lesson lies
the truth for our times. When
master and servant meet on the
common plane of Christianity, then
all industrial problems will be
solved. The will and love Of Christ
will be the master motive Of both
A truly Christian standard will be
established as the basis Of rela-
tionship and employer and employed
viii both know themselves as true
brothers. Short of this essential
teaching, there is no solution OF our
worlds industrial problem.

AkE BISHOPS
CONTROVERSY THI(KEN5

|. ATLANTA, Sept. "a (ANP)-
The defense in the Sept. rs trial
charging a conspiracy between
Bishop David H. Sims of Philadel-
phia and Senior Bishop w. Foun-
tain of Atlanta seemed to have
thrown monkey wrench into the
trial machinery. Unless something
else develops, there won't be trial,
because there won't be an AME
bishop not involved in the charges
and counter charges surrounding
the attempt to GUST Bishop Sims
from his New York diocese.
An airmail summons to Bishops
Fountain and Sims had been dis
patched early last week by Vice
Senior Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom
of Wilberforce, demanding their ap-
pearance at the trial slated for
Bridge Street church. Plaintiffs,
repeatedly backed by a group of
bishops said to be opposing Bishop
Sims, had based their action upon
charges that Bishop Sims had re-
fused to recognize the authority of
Bishop r. R. Wright, Jr., in the
New York annual conference and
that Bishop Fountain refused to put
a motto nat the meeting of thecoun-
Gil in Washington which would
have clarified the action taken at
Kansas City in naming Bishop
Wright associate bishop with full
authority in New York conference.
A civil court suit will see Bishop
Sims seek a permanent. Injunction
restraining Bishop Wright from
functioning over the New York an
nual conference.

non-committal Saturday after the

slowly, coming up in groups of six
the new members took their oath of
office of allegiance to the King of
England and to shake the COVER
nor's hand. Each member said: Il
swear by Almighty God that | will
be faithful and pay true allegiance
to his majesty, King George vi, his
heirs and successors according to
law"
In Commute address, Sir Alan
Burns told the council members
that the Africans now had power
with their majority in the council.
He did not wish that they should
use their power to obstruct the
white officials, but that they should
learn to bear responsibility, learn to
compromise by showing respect for
other mems views. He did not want
the Africans to block themselves
into an opposition group as is done
in the British parliament, but to CO.
operate with the officials and help
the government in it's duty.

15T BRITISH COLONY N
TROPICAL AFRICA TO GET
FULL LEGISLATIVE POWER

uObh b6Vu4AbAuUvb UVUVbA
ACCRA, Gold Coast, British West
Africa, Sept. "a (ANP)-The Colo
Coast, Ashanti and northern terri.
tories (called Gold COAST became
the first British colony - or any
colony for that matter-in tropical
Africa to be granted full legislative
power recently.
From the outside it looks as if the
Africans have really got self-gov-
ernment But that is not so, for the
government minority has all the
key executive positions; the COVER
nor also has a veto power to over
ride the entire doings of the coun-
Gil, if he feels it necessary. Another
curb to the power of the Africans
is that they cannot introduce fl
nancial bill except by special per-
mission of the governor. BY this,
the Britishers still hold the coun-
try's purse strings.
The ceremonies took place on
Tuesday, July %. 1t was the most
colorful and auspicious occasion
West Africa has seen for the 300
year-old African custom was broken
by the powerful and rich African
king of Ashanti, Sir Agyeman
Prempeh II, K. B. E., when he
crossed the River Prah which di-
vides Ashanti and the colony. He
came to visit this great occasion on
invitation of the governor, Sir Alan
Burns. With him came 1000 fol-
lowers and bodyguards with two
special trains chartered for that
purpose. There was traditional dis
play of African royalty and pomp
never witnessed before in West At
rica.
Early on that morning (Which
was incidentally also the birthday
of Halle Selassie of Ethiopia) thou
sands began to crowd the precincts
of the King George Y memorial hall
