24th Tri-Convention Has Been Greatest of All Time
SPLENDID SPIRIT
Two sessions today and the twenty-fourth annual convention of the three auxiliaries of the A. M. E church that have been meeting at Big Bethel will go down in history as one of the greatest ever.
Highlights of the meeting include the excellent reports of Sunday School, Missionary, and A. C. E. league departments despite the depression; an increased interest and determination to get behind Morris Brown college financially and make it the greatest church institution of higher learning; and the state choir contest in which the Big Bethel choirs regained much of their old time glory, winning several events and all but displacing First A M E. of Athens in the championship division.
Practically every session was jammed with instructive lectures, talks and demonstrations. Harmony prevailed throughout and all of the ministers expressed themselves as being 100 per cent behind Bishop Fountain's program to build the A M. E. denomination in Georgia to greater heights
This morning's services will be presided over by Dr C A. Wingfield, state superintendent of the Sunday schools and presiding elder of the Marietta District. Mrs. L. L Porch will be in charge of the Quiet Hour which has as its theme, "Repentance."
The last of a series of talks on "Three Doors to the Upper Room." will be delivered by Dr. S. S. Morris, Nashville, Tenn., Connectional secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor league
Commencing at 9:30 the Annual State Sunday school will be conducted by Dr C. A. Wingfield. This demonstration will sum up in many respects, a number of the topics brought up during the past week. An eleven o'clock sermon will bring the morning's session to a close.
Prof. C. H. Harrold. Savannah. State President of the Allen Christian Endeavor League,will be in charge of the platform meeting at three o'clock this afternoon which will bring the convention to a close Mrs. A. R. Shaw, leader of the devotional hour, will be assisted by Rev. W. J. Johnson, song leader, and Mrs. Alice D. Carey The latter will speak on "Universal Tolerance as the Only Means of Survival."
Topics to be discussed at the platform meeting are: "The Economic Problems of the Church and How Best to Meet Them." Rev. W. H. Harris, Athens: Problems of the Rural Church," Dr. C A Wingfield. "Problems of the City Church," Dr. R. J. Jefferson; and Problems of the Mission Church," Rev. J. T. Moses. Flipper Temple
Bishop W. A. Fountain will make the closing remarks.
