We're still mentioning, visiting
enjoying ourselves. Recall that we
promised to mention a few more
of the many noted personages
other than Bishops, their wives,
general officers and high church
men that we saw and conversed
with while attending the A. M. e.
General Conference. Several were
mentioned In last issue including
Paul Robson, who sang and spoke
to the delight of 10000 in attend
ance. The South Africa, West At
RIGA and South American delega-
ton to the Conference. In addition
to speeches. Senator Joseph Nc
Donald, Democrat (adding political
Ifervor) in a speech recited Incl
dents which seemed to him to
justify asking members of the
General Conference to support
that party in its efforts this year.
Bishop A. J. Allen in his response
to the Senator stated that Negroes
want anything other persons of
other races on the face of the
earth want. I'VE want to be able
to have anything all other men
have. Nobody can speak for us.
They must speak to us. We want
to be paid according to our ability.
We want opportunity to work, we
want to enjoy the privilege of
spending our money anywhere.
Senator King, Republican stated
that there can be no respite in
the theological war in the world.
We need the faith which lived in
the hearts of the people who
founded this nation. America is
the spearhead of the main forces
of Goodness" He advocated a
Republican party victory as SEN
ator Mcdonald had advocated a
Democratic party victory.
In his response Bishop Clay
borne stated that there was very
little difference in good Repub-
lican and a good Democrat, a bad
Republican and a bad Democrat.
"Americn blackmen want equality
of opportunity, education, justice.
He wants what every other man
wants - equal rights.
