Baptist Young
People Enjoy Gala
Entertainment
BY G. ID. Walters,
Secretary State Y. w. A.

y
At the Baptist State Convention
in Cleveland, Mississippi, the
members of the Young Peoples
Department were deliberately en-
tertained by the Young People OF
Bolivar County. Along with the
many courtesies extended, the So
cial committee left no stones un-
turned in preparing for a Gala
Social Affair on Thursday even
ing, July 25th, This included
trip to Mound Bayou, Mississippi,
which is 9 miles from Cleveland,
the only city in the state that has
an all Negro population. There we
were carried to the beautiful Re-
creation Center where, there is a
swimming pool, boxing ring, ten
mis- court and many other events
for entertainment. Refreshments
were served. We then crossed the
highway to view the well-equipped
and beautiful Taborian Hospital,
after a thorough view Of the hos
pital, we were carried to the beau
tiful Baptist Church and from
there O the Theatre. We also wav-
ed at the colored postmaster. AS
the evening was swiftly passing,
the itinerary finished on the
beautiful lawn of Prof. and Mrs.
Dan Smith, there we enjoyed a
very tasty menu. Everyone ex-
pressed themselves as have been
well entertained.
If the visiting Young People
would try to put all their express
sions on paper they would be sure
to get crump and their fingers
would be sure to cramp from writ
ing.
The nice part of the State Con-
vention is that next year these
Young People will be the guest of
some other Young People and the
same courtesy will be repaid.

Bishop Sims Back
AS Head of First
District anne

Washington, d. C.-(NNPA)-
The Bishops Council of the Afri.
can Methodist Episcopal Church,
holding a special session here
last Thursday at the offices of
the financial secretary, put Bish.
op David H. Sims, of Philadelphia,
back in complete charge of the
denomination first diocese.
Under the decisions of the Bish.
ops, Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr., was
relieved of his assignment as "as-
sociate bishop of the diocese.
The arrangement by which Bish-
op Wright became associate OF
the first diocese with power to
supervise the New York annual
conference was adopted by the
Bishops Council at a meeting in
Kansas City, Kansas, in June.
Representative of virtually ev,
cry district in the church were in
attendance. The largest delega,
ton came from the first diocese
and consisted of both pastors and
laymen.
Following adjournment of the
Council, which was attended by
all except three bishops, Bishop
Sims said: "The Church has
spoken. We will abide by the
decision of the Church."
For Years, the New York an
nual conference has been a trou-
BILE spot in the first diocese with
occasional resort to the courts to
settle church disputes
The trouble reached its heighth
after the last session of the New
Youk annual conference, at which
Bishop Sims transferred the Rev.
Jacob A. Portlock from the pas
torate of Bethel A. M. E. Church
and the Rev. Chester Clark from
the pastorate of Emanuel Church.
The Bishops, meeting in New
York for session of the Foreign
Mission Board, heard statement
of grievances, and subsequently
when the Bishops Council met
at Kansas City in June assigned
Bishop Wright as associate bish-
op," to asst Bishop Sims and to
supervise the New York Confer
ence.
Court action followed, with the
followers of Bishop Sims secur-
ing a temporary injunction re-
straining Bishop Wright from tax
ing any official action in the
New York conference and left the
Bethel Church in charge of Bish-
op Sims appointee.
Bishops attending the Councils
meeting included: Bishops w. A.
