C. M. E. Religious
Educational Coun
il Holds Session
Dr. B. J. Smith, Gen. Sec., In
Charge. Three Bishops Pre
sent Large Crowds
Jackson, Tenn. Jan. 25—(CP)
Council of the Colored Metho
dist Episcopal Church ended a
two-day session here Fdiday in
what has been called “the most
forward looking meeting of its
kind in the history of Negro
churches. ’’
The Religious Educational
Council was called by Dr. B. J.
Smith, General Secretary-Ed
itor of the Board of Religious
Education of the GME church,
a position to which he was el
ected exactly one year ago on
the very day .strangely coin
cidentaly, from the day the Re
ligious Educational Council held
its first session.
The Council which served a
two-fold purpose: a fact-find
ing and appraisal council, and
a program outlining body for
the Department of Religious
Education, attracted many of
the outstanding leaders of the
CME chudch. Three bishops
were present: Bishop J. A.
Bray, A.M., D.D., LL.D., pres
ident of the Board of Religious
Education and president b'shop
of the Eighth Episcopal Dis
trict, Chicago; Bishop J. A.
Ilamlett, A.M., D.D, S.T.B.,
president of the General Board
of Education and presiding!
bishop of the Fifth Episcopal
district, Kansas City, Kansas, j
and Bishop J. C. Martin, presi
dent of the Board of Kingdom
Extension Memphis ,Tennessee.
Dr. J. C. Colelough. Editor 1
of the Christian Index, official
organ of the CME church, Jack- j
son, delievred a stirring address
at the opening of the Council
Wednesday morning on the sub
ject, “ Clearing the Ground for
Kingdom Building.” The schol
arly Editor’s message made a
deep impression upon the as
semblage. Dr. Colelough used
Mathew 6:33 as the principal
basis for his scholarly address.
At Thursday's devotional
hour, the address was delivered
by Rev. C. E. Chapman, presid
of the Kansas district, Kansas
City ,Missouri. “The Place of
Prayer in the Life of Christ”
was the subject of Rev. Chap
man’s address, having used
Luke 11:1 and Luke 17:1 as
the Scriptural basis for his dis
course. He said it was imposs
ible to study the record of the
life of Christ without noticing
how frequently He retired to
prayer, ho whe had certain def
inite places and times for pray
er: how He intimately related
his praying moments with his
serving the people, in that lie
took the needs and interests of
the people to God in His pray
ers and brought from His pray
ing moments the inspiration,
illumination and inspiration
He received in His praying
moments, and how that prayer
was necessary to the meeting
the needs of the people whom
one is to serve.
Dr. J. W. Nicholson, Chicago,
was elected secretary of the Re
ligious Council and rendered in
valuable service in that capacity
and was highly commended by
Dr. Smith and the Council for
his service in that capacity.
Other speakers at Thursday’s
sessions were: Drs. J. F. Lone,
Presiednt of Lane College; Mat
tie E. Coleman, President of
the Woman’s Connectional
Council; J. A. Ragan, General
Secretary of Board of Confer

Hitler Eyes Africa
For Possessions
Johannesburg, S. A., Jan , 25—
An official of the German Colon
ies Society, in a talk with a news
pap«r correspondent, admitted
that Germany plans in the very
near future to try to take over
some# f Britain's possessions in
Africa. He said further that the
entiro colonial propaganda in Ger
many will be controlled by the
Nazi party, which will then enter
the imperialist field with her in
creased armed force.
Colonial possessions are an as
set to any imperialit power and a
liability to colonial people. Ger
many’s threatened demand for re
distribution of colonies cannot but
result in a world war, to which
end she is building a powerful air,
sea and land force.
