One hundred and sixty-eight bills were put off to the next quadrennial. We all look with admiration on the progress made by the A. M. E. Church. It shows how a few people with comparatively nothing, started out one hundred years ago and now own and support hundreds of churches, ministers, and schools in every section of this country, and are now leading in missionary work in foreign lands. The dollar money alone contributed since the last quadrennial amounted to $850,214.14. A small portion of this total went to needy churches and foreign missions, widows and families of deceased ministers and Bishops, annual conference expenses, officers’ and Bishops’ salaries and various other sources too numerous to mention. We look with pride upon their accomplishments and when we think of the basis upon which their denomination is founded, “GOD OUR FATHER, CHRIST OUR REDEEMER, AND MAN OUR BROTHER,” we cease to marvel at their success. G. B. Campbell. An Act of Charity _A STORY_ There were six of us, enough to make a sextette, and when we thought of the wasted years we spent before we knew one another, it made us sad. We spent the greater part of our time at one another’s homes, and we usually had a great deal to talk about. For this reason, my mother decided that she would give us the house for two weeks. She said we could do as we pleased, but we had to do all the cooking and house cleaning.
