They were born leaders and men with remarkable characters and abilities. Their loss is keenly felt not only by the A. M. E connection, but by the race in general. Mother Bethel should be highly complimented on the arrangements made for the convenience of the delegates. A telegraph office, post office, dining room and all other necessary things were located in the church. In spite of arrangements the throng that filled the church the first few days of the Conference to pay their respects was so large and the confusion so great that very little was accomplished until May 7. On May 7 the ministers listened to what they declared the finest addresses ever heard, delivered by Dr. Isaac N. Ross of Baltimore, Md., and Dr. W. H. Mixon, Selma, Ala. It is believed by all present at the time that Dr. N. Ross’s address had a great influence on the ballots cast in his favor in the race for Bishop. On May 8 the big fight started for the election of Bishops. Many ministers and Bishops did not endorse an elevation of any more clergymen to the bench, as they felt that their present number could take care of the business and under the existing unsettled conditions and increasing expenses that it would not be advisable; but the sentiment among the majority was so strong for new Bishops that the Episcopal Committee passed on the election of two. Fifty-three ministers entered the race. They began a systematical campaign. Three or four districts had their headquarters together and they kept a printer busy day and night putting out all manner of cards and pamphlets explaining why each of the fifty-three individuals would be best suited for Bishop. After weeks of campaigning two Bishops were finally elected. Before the ballots were cast Rev. R. C. Ransom asked for prayer and Bishop Parks prayed. It would be a hard matter to eradicate from the minds of Bishops, candidates, delegates, and visitors that fifteen minutes of prayer. All minds were lifted to higher planes and the two weeks of campaigning were forgotten along with personal aims and selfish ambitions as they turned their thoughts to God and voted for the men whom they sincerely believed would help make his kingdom on earth what he would have it to be. The ministers elevated to the bench were Revs. I. N. Ross and W. W. Beckett.
