ports were made by the Women's
Home and Foreign Missionary So
ciety of the A. M. E. Zion Church
and in the Thursday night address
of Bishop Daniel c. Pope, resident
Bishop stationed in the Gold Coast
area.
The executive board of the gen
aral Missionary Society devoted
two days in making their full re-
ports. They showed that last
year they increased their budget
by 800, and before the end of the
fiscal period had topped the higher
quota.
They have allotted $4,000 for
the work of the body in foreign
lands, and a samilar amount for
domestic work.
They were especially pleased
with their work at Livingstone
College in Salisbury, n c., where
they have established a student
fund which has helped more than
200 young people complete their
education.
Bishop Pope on Thursday. eve
ming spoke for nearly an hour on
the work that has been done in
Africa and the need for an, i'm
mediate half million dollars to ac-
CELEBRATE the African mission pro-
Igram.
He showed that so years ago the
first A. M. E. Zion church was es-
tablished in the Gold Coast with
seven members. Today, he said,
there are IS churches, some with
memberships as high as 700. The
denomination has IS church schools.
In Liberia, he said, the church
has been established longer, but
was not making as great a prog
ress. The Bishop said, "that there
is determination of the people of
Africa for full freedom that can
not be stemmed; we can give
those people Christian guidance,
and we can give them education
to help their struggles"
Although the Women's Home
and Foreign Missionary Society
OF the A. M. E. Zion Church holds
its own convention in 1854 at
which time officers are elected,
they filled one vacancy in the ex-
ecutive board during the recent
council meeting in Cleveland.
Mrs. Elsie G. Reyes was elected
vice president out of three who
sought the office.

The Byrnes Appointment To The

(FrOm The Carolina Times)

Whatever President Eisenhower has done in the
past for Negroes will do for them in the future his
appointment of Governor James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina delegate to the United Nations will be look

most dastardy acts committed against their

Christ"
He was sin fighter for many
years,
And lived a Christian life.
His voice will not be heard no
more,
Death called him a few days ago,
He did not linger and suffer here,
So he yielded up the Ghost to go.
He was ready when death stepped
in,
He had finished out his row,
Rev. Sanders he was talking to
him,
So his last answer was not yes
or no.
] imagine Rev. Sanders broke
down and wept,
It was a shock when death stepped
in,
Bishop Butler when he failed to
Il speak, !.
He made this life out to the end.
A man that did not rust out in
life,
He went down on the battlefield,
Lifting up Jesus everywhere he'd
go,
And for the saving of souls he
yield.
He yielded up the Ghost, he was
ready,
To step aboard deaths train,
He did not fear death when it
came,
Because the angels had signed his
name.
No one can fill his place today,
Because he has passed and gone,
He has finished all of his work
down here,
To make heaven his eternal home.
He could only fill his place here,
He has finished his work and
gone,
Some other man may take the
job,
But his place was his place alone.
We are here to pay our last re-
spects,
To friend and brother in Christ,
One who did the will of God,
And lived a Christian life.
He is sleeping now to wake no
more,
Until the trumpet sounds that
day,
When all the saints of God shall
rise,
From beneath that sodded clay.
