DR.. Thomas H. Primm AM,
DID, pastor Union Bethel A.M.E.
Church, New Orleans, La. We
present to you one of our best,
yes, one of our noble sons, for
your consideration in the forth
coming General Conference.
First, we wish to thank you,
one and all, for the fine consid-
Grafton given DR.. Primm in Kan
sas City, May, 194S.
DR.. Primm received 527 votes
for the most exalted position
the Bishopric; you stood by him
then, and by having done so DR..
Primm now stands practically
first in line for election in 1852,
and We believe that your votes
given in 1948 were based on abil-
ity, service, and Christian
brother to all mankind.
Service rendered by DR.. Primm
for the uplift of this, our Zion,
in the greatest city of the South,
namely, New Orleans, Louisiana,
is unparallel by all predecessors.
Union Bethel is one of the out
standing churches of the connec-
ton, with a membership far
above 1000.
Four Freedom Building
This great building was erected
under the leadership of DR..
Primm, at a cost of better than
$50, .00-modern in every way,
the church was remodeled and
brought up to standard of a
metropolitan church under the
leadership of this great man of
God.
On Sunday morning the scene
is worthy your consideration, as
it relates to the rush on street
cars, taxi srevice, private auto
mobiles, and those that are near
by and who prefer to walk for
they are not able to find parking

Bishop M. H. Ravis ID LID.
Presiding Bishop of the Eighth
Episcopal District.
We take this method of thank
ing the Episcopal Committee and
the General Conference of 1913
for sending to the Eighth Epis-
copal District the greatest among
Bishops, the most brotherly and
prayful Bishop that has ever serv
ed the Eighth Episcopal Ristrict.
(PRAYER)
If prayer means anything and
surely it does, Bishop Davis should
be very much versed in the poper
of prayer, in our Conference every
service was opened with prayer
led by Bishop Davis, and never in
the history of the North Louis
lana Conference were we so thour-

The Mound Bayou Project:
The Expansion of Campbell

DIR. Davis has blazed new
trail and revitalized the educa-
tional program of Campbell Col
lege, establishing the practical
and the industrial developments
on the $40 acres of land at Mound
Bayou. We see the results in
this scheme: a new rural Episco-
pal Residence already erected on
the sixty acres set aside for this
new venture. We see this sixty
acres fenced for the pasture. We
see cows, hogs, goats, chickens,
geese, sheep, turkeys and pducks
in this pasture. We see a tractor
and truck there already, and we
are drinking the milk, and eating
hte butter, and the Gospel Birds.
My, my, what a morning, and
when the evening comes we hope
to see a temple, a Church, and an
Industrial Schoolthere with chin
ing bells and cleaning lights and
smokeless roofs. We see our great
leader living periodically in this
rural manse directing the affairs.
A leader or teacher cannot lead
where they do not go, nor know.
Our leader possesses the above
qualities, and where he leadeth
we follow with delight.
Bishop S. L. Green, presiding
bishop of the Ninth (9th)) Episco-
pal District, upon the invitation
of Bishop Davis, brought the
Founders Day message to
large audience, and from all ov-
err. 1t is said that the message
was not only literary gem, but
an ecclesiastical classic in call
ing the roll of the Founding Fa-
theirs, he swept the crowd when
he said "Hats off to the glorious
achievements of the past and
present; but coats off for the
future"
The slogan for the present adj
ministration, / am thinking, is:
Watch, Work and Pray.

all in a days work to the famous
Donaldo Zacchini and his pretty
sister, Sylvana.
They'll be in Kennewick with
the big Cole Bros. Circus on
Tuesday, August 80, and appear
in the main performance both
afternoon and night. The Fac
chini family, stemming from
italian circus stock, came to this
| country in the late twenties and
made a spectacular name for
itself when the intrepid Hugo,
uncle of the Cole Brothers Circus
stars, permitted himself to. be
shot from a cannon while his
brother Mario, the father of
Donaldo and his sister, handled
the mechanics of the big trick.
Later, the Zacchini family en-
HANGED the thrill level of the
offering by building a huge gun
that would shoot TWO persons.
They further put showmanship
into the act by building this
instrument so that the last per-
son out of the gun passed the
first in full flight.
The Zacchinis never permit
anyone to inspect their gun. It's
miraculous workings are secret,
but it is no secret that their act
is the greatest thrill ever pre-.
scented under a circus tent.
