It has been needed a longtime in the church. It fur nishes a court of appeal which in the interim serves as final author ity in the church. “The passage of this legislation is a forward step in the legislative program of the church, and will bring peace to many doubtful minds. I congratulate the General Conference in this much needed addition to our code of laws.” Probably the bishop who has felt most pointedly the lash of the Bishops Council during the past four years, Bishop Wright, said if the Judicial Council had existed during the past four years, he would not have been moved three times. He remarked: “I think it’s a good thing and will do a great deal to remove the trials and other judicial pro cedures from church politics. The Judicial Council will make impos sible in the future the treatment of any bishop as I was treated. “It also will relieve bishops of judicial functions and give them more time to take care of ad ministrative functions. “The Judicial Council is one ex pression of the growing demo cratic spirit of the AME Church.” <51MOM _ —I AUTOMOBILE REPAIRING WRECKER SERVICE 2-4295 HARVEY'S GARAGE 2119 O St GEO.
