Informal
Please?
Did The Senior Bishop Malad-
minister The Law When He
Refused To Try OurCharoes?

Charges and specifications pre-
pared and filed as we understood
the law as set forth in the book
of discipline on page 258 Para
graph (ONE) 1914 discipline,
and we have not yet been advis-
ed how the senior Bishop evad-
ed the trial and refused to try
those charges out. Do the bish-
ops Of the A. M. E. Church mean
to white-wash their colleagues
when they openly violate the law
of the church? Should not the
senior bishop be charged with
maladministration when he re-
fuses to try the charges accord
ing to the law as seen in the
new discipline on page 259 Para
2 CTWOO? Are the bishops
afraid to try one of their num-
Der, as one bishop said, "They
will be on us next if we don't
protect each other::" If he had
not been guilty, why make such
a statement? We have now a
fine bishop in Arkansas in the
person of Bishop Geo. w. Baber,
in whom there is no guile, we
are asking that you let him alone,
let him continue, for we have
been impressed with his fine
leadership and we trust and
follow him. The entire connec-
ton is awaiting to hear from
the senior bishop, why he will
not, or did not try the charges
the layman's Movement filed
with him through our officials.

Hello Friends:
Here arm again. This time
am falling about religion. 1t
seems like we have our religion
under the gun, or may ! say,
enforced by the gun. don't
know whether religion and de-
mocracy are the same, or wheth-
er you have the presence of the
gun to make religion a demo-
cracy. II seems like recently
they work fine together,
When it gets to the place in
a Missionary Baptist Church in
a pastoral election when you
have paid your church taxes and
then have to get what you hate
to admit, a superior race with
guns, one on each side of your
table to make your religion vote
right, then l wonder is that real
democracy.
When you can't serve or give
service in one church, join the
next one of the same faith and
order so you can carry out the
spirit of the covenant.
Maybe you have heard about
the turtle that got in the we'll.
A turtle consists of a combina-
ton of meats, sandwiched be-
tween two hard shells. He has
six fighting weapons, head, tail,
and four feet full of claws. He
is just right when he gets in a
well. He can sit in one place
and ruin the water of the entire
well. If you don't get him out,
you can't use the water.
1t looks like the turtle has
gotten in our Christian, politi-
cal, and congressional wells. You
know the rest. So you paid off
your church taxes and had to
have the gun on hand to vote
right. Try paying $1.0O for II
months, and get your poll tax
receipt, and / don't believe we
will have to mix the gun with
our religion to- make demo-
cracy.
Here is little about our street
car and bus riders by an ex-
service man who has been over
seas, and is home again. We
made him ashamed. Now listen
to him. Go ahead Mr.. Coley:
Dear Sir:
l am writing in regard to our
people and their actions on the
street buses. 1t is downright
disgraceful the language they
use and the loud and boisterous
attitudes they assume. They
push, shove, and shout. 1t not
only reflects ignorance on the
part of the doors, but on our
race as whole. Please pass
this on to our dear readers.
Peter Coley.

that same spirit of intense excitement

But the capture of political power is
not enough. 1t must be followed by eco

OF Italian recovery without help from
the outside. Hitler and Mussolini be-

the machinery for production, the elec-

above all, the skilled labor, are all there.
The workers are passionately hungry for
work. The worst thing that could hap

of democratic institutions.
Italy is in position to use its great
productive capacity to aid in the task of
European reconstruction. But for this
end long-term credits are essential. It
is urgent for the great states to under

ITALY TURNS DEMOCRATIC IN RECOVERY

lack of raw materials, especially of coal,

bomb damage has done great deal.
Yet the spirit of the workers is re-
markable. They are cheerful and eager.
perhaps almost overoptimistic about
their future. Some remarkable recon-
struction is in hand The railways are
being restored. Bridges are being re-
built and some of the feats of engineer
ing this involves made me understand
why an eminent British official in
Italy told me he thought the Italian
engineers the most skillful in the

often entirely novel in construction, of
small motor trucks to the most in
genious and often beautiful devices for
the kitchen is to have deep respect for
the native fertility of these people in
the realm of technology. And not
few of the factory executives I met
were emphatic about the contribution
of the workers to new design and new
ideas.
What the future holds no one, sus-
pect, can say. There is still a good
deal of latent hostility to democracy in
industry here, though the democratic
upsurge is still too great for it to come
out into the open. The very fact that
most Northern italian towns and COM
munes have gone strongly to the left
in the recent elections makes the great
corporations more anxious to find
basis for collaboration than to risk
battle in which the danger of swing
right over to communism might easily
be the answer to defiance. 1t is i'm

munist party is strong, that it has
ample funds and that no leader in
Italian politics is more brilliant than
