Goolsby June 2-4, representatives from Laymen’s Leagues in the AME church from the states of Wash ington, Oregon, California, Ari zona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri met to or ganize the Fifth Episcopal dis trict Laymen’s League, which ex tends over the Conference league in the above states. The purpose of the organization set forth are to provide for greater integration and recognition of lay activities in the AME church, to provide for increased training in Chris tian stewardship, promote the spread of personal evangelism and to provide for better support of churches and ministers. OSKALOOSA MAN ELECTED PRESIDENT The organization meeting is the result of a law passed by the church in 1J)48 providing for lay men’s leagues as part of the church organization. Since that time leagues have been organized in local churches and in confer ence areas so that the June meeting, which was held in Trin ity AME church, Kansas City, Kansas, completed the Laymen’s organization in the 5th District of the church. Elected president of the 13 state area was George J. Jones, of Oskaloosa, Kansas. Mr. Jones is a successful Kansas farmer, but is connected also with the Kansas State department of Rev enue and Taxation. He has served for 30 years as a steward of his church. A past district Deputy Grand Mastor of Masons, Mr. Jones has been active in community life and is chairman of the Temple committee. He presented as his platform: “No change in the plan of operation of the AME church, only hope to see improvements and streamlining of the business side.” Others elected were: Mrs. Georgia, Oakland, Calif., 1st Vice-President; Mr. Henry Glass. Kansas City, Mo., Secretary; Mrs. Mary Tyler, St. Louis, Mo., Asst. Sec’y, and Chester Gaskin, Kan sas City, Kansas, Treasurer. Three members at large of the Executive committee are J. P. Bell, St. Louis, Mo., A. R. Phil lips. Los Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. Dorothy Clark, Kansas City, Mo. The District Lay organization was done under the supervision of the Rt. Rev. D Ormonde Walker, Dean of Payne seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio, and of the 5th District. Bishop Walker has been active in the interest of the laity for a number of years before his elevation to the episcopacy in 1948. He told the delegates that he hoped to see laymen’s groups in every church and in every conference area in the District. Following the election of officers, they were installed by the prelate. PLAN HOSPITAL ADDITION In a talk to delegates following organization, Bishop Walker re vealed action of the Board of Trustees that day to proceed with a $260,000 addition to Douglas Hospital operated by the church in Kansas City. The project would include a wing for chronic pa tients, another for pediatrics and nurse’s home. The hospital is said to be one of the best equipped 50 bed hospitals in the area. Much of the funds to be used were ob tained through the efforts of P. G. Porter, an active layman of Olathe, Kansas, and the governor of Kansas. DR JORDAN SPEAKER The laymen began their work in an atmosphere of rededication to church ideals. On Friday, dele gates heard Dr. Frederick D. Jor dan of Los Angeles, who said “The conflict between good and evil is not superficial, but runs deep into the universe and on through time. Our contemporary society is devoid of much faith, without much real meaning of re ligion. Because it is secular, it ig nores the fundamentals upon which real life is based.” Also present at the organization meeting was Atty. Herbert L. Dudley, Detroit, national presi dent of the laymen’s movement, and R. J. Gardner, Cleveland, president of the Ohio area of the movement. Mr. Dudley reviewed the development of the national movement through the past 42 years. He pointed out the projects operative in other areas—in New England, a resort home for aged has been established, in other dis tricts, additional scholarship foun dations have been established for worthy students, mostly in church schools. CONSTITUTION ADOPTED Major work of the conference was to formulate its constitution. Under the chairmanship of Albert Mitchell, Albuquerque, N. M., a document was drawn up which would call for fuller support of church programs, and provided for wide representation of local lay men groups, and financial plans for the organization. The next meeting of the Fifth District Laymen’s League will convene in Denver, Colo., July 31 August 1, 1951.
