CLINTON, Editor of Stab op Ziob, The present issue may be fittingly termed our mourning iasue. Besides a full account of the funeral of Bishop Thompson we publish other communi cations on the late Dr. J. P. Thomp son and others. Oue contemporaries, the Freeman, Riohmond Planet, Colored American, and a few ot&er prominent race journ als reached the climax of journalistic progress in their excellent holiday is sues. We feel proud of our g eat race % papers. £We have on our table the A.M. E Zion Quarterly issued in December, the current A. M. E. Review, John son’s School History, the Catholic Almanac, adtd a number .of beautiful calenders aliof which will receive a more extended notice fn our next. The West Alabama Conference which held its recent session at Scran ton, Miss., being presided over by Bishop C. C. Pettey, was divided into two conferences, viz: The North and South Alabama conferences. Zion now has four strong conferences in ‘ - ^iabama. We hardly know whioh is the more disgraceful the outrage at Quitman, Georgia, or the acquittal of the Ker ville lynchers. The one shows that brutality and mob violence are still abroad and increasing while the other shows that there is not suffieie t cour age among white men to punish these evil doers.__ A card from Rev. eSp. Walker, of Beaufort, N. C., informs us of the v death of Mr. John Hooper, Jr,, son 01 our distinguished friend and able brother Presiding Elder John Hooper Young Hooper was formerly a student of Livingstone College and was a young man of much promise. Hh death occurred at the family residence, Wilmington, N. C., on the 27th ult. Thbough Hon. John C. Dancy Rev George C Rowe, editor of the Charleston Enquirer, scholar and poet, has consented to write the Cen tennial poem for Zion's grdat celebra tion at New York in 1896. Those ♦-.who wish to know of Rev Rowe’s poetical talent only need secure his •‘Thoughts in verse,” poems on race leaders and his “Pro Patria,” which will appear in the next issue of the A. M Ju^Ziion ymriervy. * Rev. G. C. Rowe, Charles ton’i most progressive citizen amorg the v colored people placed Zion's repre sentatives at the. Palmetto Conference many obligations to him. Be side? his unstinted hospitality shower ed on Editor Dancy and ns, he spared no pains either in his excellent paper or by his personal attention and in terest to make our stay pleasant and the work we represented fully known to the Charleston public. He is doing herculean work among our people,to Charleston along certain lines of needed reform and if we are not mis taken his work is-bearing wholesome "fruit for the betterment of all con cerned. m—ammmrn—m land appear before audiences in Eng tend and other European countries in order to show what the iace has accomplished and give our neighbors icroSs the Atlantic an opportunity to judge of the fitness of these edu cators for the great work they have in ha,nd. Hon. John C. Dancy and Prof. S. G. Atkins of our church have been ed tp take places on the program as speakers. We know no two men of the country who can better represent the Hegro and the great progress of the race than these gentlemen. Oui church should commission them and help them meet their traveling ex penses as representatives of our Zion. The A. M. E. church now has Miss Halle Quinn Brown and Mr G F. Kichings in] England in her inter est. Those of her men who take in this trip will be sure to hold up the Bethel standard. How is Zion’s chance to have able representatives visit Europe at a most opportune time. Shall we miss this opportun ity? Let us hear from those in authority. The Hew York Independent of the 3rd inst, furnishes its many readers with a most valuable symposium in the form of a review of the great re ligious denominations, ecclesiastical events, prosperity and increase of the denominations during 1394. The articles afford a mint of informa tion as well as a source of encourage ment to all Christian workers who look forward to the glorious triumph of Christianity over all antagonistic forces. Bishop B W Arnett speaks for the colored Methodists. He pre sente the statistics and other impor tant phases of the work of our sister church in a way that gives her a most creditable Showing. All th^t is said about Zion is what he inter polates in his presentation of the A. M E church work and that is only enough to show our sister church to greater advantage. It seems to us that Zion is old enough, strong enough, has accomplished enough and has sufficient ability to repre sent her when the great Hew York Independent or any other periodical wants to know of her status among other churches and the .work she is doing along the lines of work for the moral, religious and general ele vation of the race. It is time some body was looking after our interests along these lines. It is a significant b well as humiliating fact that we havef eithefc' been left out or repre sented by somebody else on almost eyery occasion of this kind. THE CENTENNIAL COMMIT TEE CALLED. ■ ' ■ r '■ Bishop Alexander Walters, D. D., Chairman of the Centennial Commit tee has issued a call for the committee on arrangements lor the celebration of the A. M. E. Zion Centennial foi 1896 at New York City to meet at Metropolitan church, D street, Wash ington, D. C., January 24th. It it expected that every member of the committee will be present. Business and the success of tUfe important enter prise demand immediate and full con sideration* See Elder Hill’s notice elsewhere. ANOTHER TREAT COMING. Bishop Hood’s great history of the A. M. E. Zion Church will be is Bued~~duringl this month. Besides being the fullest and only accurate |iistory of the origin, progress and achievements of our church and her institutions it will contain biogra phies and illustrations of the men who made Zion what she is, as well as the men who are now her fore most representatives. No man is so well prepared to give the churchjand public such a book as we have in this work as the author. The price ls $3.00 and orders will be taken at mce at our Book Room and the book will be forwarded as soon as issued. JUST THE THING. m We have had the pleasure of see ing and examining “The Official Directory of the A. M. E. Zion Church,” for 1895, edited by Kev. J. H. Anderson, pastor of our church at Patterson, N. X. , It is* published in pamphlet form and contains 76 pages each chock full of the most valuable information, history, statis tics and such a presentation of our work as has never been made before. There are a few inaccuracies and a lack of full information concerning some phases of our work, but Tt may be safely said that this is not the fault of the editor, but because of a want of interest and co operation on the part of those Who could and should {have furnished the matter needed for the work. Zion hi! had no more valuable and other leading Zion men and is donb ly worth the small sum of 26c. which is asked for it by our £cok Concern at 353 Bleecker street, Hew York. Every preacher and member should have a copy. ——-——— THE LATE BISHOP THOMP SON. We had prepared an editorial sketch on this noted prelate of oui bereft Zion for this issue of Thi Stab, but'having received what we regard as the official report of the funeral as well as an extended and comprehensive sketch of the Bishop we lay otir article aside and urge oui readers to peruse the article of oui brilliant and able correspondent Rev J. W. Smith We also publish as article from the pen of Eldei Wheeler which doserves more tllkn a passing consideration; We desire to simply add that Bishop 1 homp son was one of the most remarkable and successful men of his day and generation. There were numerous characteristics and examples in his life worthy of both study and emu lation. He evinced the fact that the Negro as well as the Caucassian car rise above unfavorable environmenl and overcome thO most formidable obstacles and obtain heights vzhicl are only reached by persons of greal mind power, persistent push, daring pluck, strong faith in God and a hoi} ambition to be and to do something Without being especially brilliant oi any one particular line, few men ac complished as much or attained suet eminence as he. Nothing in his life stands out more prominently that his excellent business qualities and his ,keen foresight. His devotion tc his race, his church, .and his God if manifest in his every act. He had been connected with and an impor tent factor in every forward move ment inaugurated and pushed by his church during the past half century. He belonged to that class of meD whom*God raised up that He might show in them His power and use for declaring His name in all the earth. Zicn has other men to take his place, but none will ever adorn it with a saintlier character, and beget tc themselves a more honorable name than he who has ceased from labor that he might enjoy a heavenly re reward. Our great churdh joined by thousands of others, mourns his loss, and wait to join him "Where sickness,sorrow, pain and death, kre felt and feared no more.” MISS EVELYN E. HALL. This lovely human flower whose life emitted a fragrance of purity, piety and sweetness of disposition which flavored the domestic and so cial atmosphere wherever she moved closed her eyes in death on the 29th of December in the city of Philadel phia, where she was temporarily abiding. She went to Philadelphia last July to engage in work which offered her better compensation than she could get here at that time and remained until about four weeks ago when pneumonia seized her slen der frame with a grasp that only death could break. She was the daughter of our townsman Mr. A. Hall g and his deceased wife Harriet to whom she was born 27 years ago. She had been a consist ant Christian and a faithful member of the A. M. E. Zion church since 1883. At the last commencement of Livingstone College she graduated with-honors from the normal depart ment and was one of thejspeakers at the commencement exercises. Her body was brought home and impres sive funeral exercises were held in the A. M. E. Zion church on last Thurs day in the presence of the students of Livingstone College and a large assemblage of relatives and friends. Prof. G. L. Blackwell delivered a most appropriate and impressive sulogy over her. She was buried in the family lot at the city cemetery. OUR PRE8ENT ISSUE, It was our purpose to g(t out the present issue promptly on time and having begun on time keep up during the present year. We were deterred from carrying out this plan first by not getting the matter up on time, the printers haring started too late in the week. Despite an unavoidable late start, so tar at the editor is conoerned. we had hoped tolpush our force day and sight to make up as far as possible for the lost time,but we were again doomed to sad disappointment. No sooner had we gone to press with the filet tide and made a few revolutions when one of the most important parts of > press broke—one of the results ' ‘ l*‘e «old nap. We ere 1 wbV • week and In an issue -this month, provided a likejrtj^and it too Stands die because of the cold weather which is always bard on pour machinery operated in rooms heated by wood ’its* * f. we can run our press successfully, we shall give our readers a report of re ceipts and expenditures in The Stab office under the present management, also the percentage of cur patronage among tl e membership and ministry of onr church. We are still anxious to get the new outfit of type, but this tar Dr. R, S. Hives and Elder R. H Stitt are the only perse ns who con tributed to hel^ us in that direction When we submit our report our read era will see why we have had a hard time, and why ,we must call for volun teer contributions to get type. We must make an outlay of several dol tars now on the press and needed sup plies to even wHf bor poor type to ad vantage 1834.—1895. A great vsftlhe containing twelve spacious chapters—each chapter hav ing from 28 to 31 pages, and each page beiDg crowded with valuable, varied and marvelous history has just been completed. That volume was the year in 1894. Every human be ing who lived dcuing last year con tributed his part toward the making up of said volume. The recorc whether goodjfc bad is irrevocable The lauguagefcof Pontius Pilate con eerning the superscription over the stress of the immaculate Christ may be aptly adopted by one and all of the human family, “Wbat I have written I have written.” The remem bsrance of thh fact must be sad to many, since\tfere are so many whose records during the past year are any thing but creditable. But few have made records void of some paragraph gthat they would like to revise or ex* ihange, but again the truism rings out “What I have written I have writ n, and as I have written it, so must remaifi.’^ This is i o less true of nations than of individuals. No vol e in the annals of years will afford a more multiform, ii teresting and com Julex history. Eighteen ninety four is a g»?olume of surprises and revelations, of inverses apd successes, upheavals and catastrophes, calamities and bene dictions ia almost e ery sphere of luman activity: But it is no more It has gone from us and if we are wise we will turn our backs on it, only as we must revert to it to be^profiited by past experiences that we may more wisely steer our barks in the untried waters of the future. A new volume is open to us, Eighteen ninety-fm with all its promises and possibilities is here The pages are open and ready. Whatever impressions are made upon them they will retain a?d trans mit to the future. If we have resolved co be and to do better the pages of the present year will tell in the the great reckoning day how near we havo car r-ied out those resolutions. Time is impartial and accurate chronicler and n his history he is faithful even in the minutest detail. Let us keep these facts in mind and thereby be admon ished that as we sow so shall we reap As individuals, as a church, as a lace and as a nation let us so utilize the opportunities which are given us in the new volume that it may be said of os in the end we have been faithful m all that wai committed to our trust. —|--■ GREAT POLITICAL CHANGES. Among the great political changes rought about by last year’s elections o state fared better than New ’ork and Delaware. New York ate has her first .Republican gov rnor for twelve years while the me ■opolis city has a Republican mayor >r the first time in 22 years. The aw governor—Levi P. Morton—and ie new mayor—Col. William L krong—are men of the highest rank, )blest antecedents and most honor* >le record's in both their public and :ivate lives Little Delaware has sr first Republican governor for iaxly a half century. The New ork legislature, whioh is Republi n, is now in session and will have fore it legislation which, if rightly acted, will not opjy prove a bless g to the state, but a means of main ining Republican control for am in finite period. he North Carolina legislature 3h has a majority <*f Republic Populists who will unite on for mg legislation will meet nc tday. Tuesday week two Unit es senators srill be Chosen. T it looks now Marion Butler will Senator Ransom’s seat and Hon. f (t jbritohard will Ail out the tpired terijj of the late Sen 36. Butler it a Populist _ Is a good .Republican. are strong men. pledged not to patronize any dis pensary under a penalty of a Mine for the first offenoe and the lasli. upon their backs for subsequent vi olation of their pledges. We are toMd that similar organizations have» been started in every city is the Btate. (If they can only succeed in pledging each member of those societies against all intoxicants the'movement will prove to be a panacea for muoh of the ills the race now suffers in that badly abused and ill fated state Whiskey has ever been a veritable curse to the black man. IN' | MEMORI AM. BY EDWARD U. A. BROOKS. jU A bout four o’clock in the morning of Wednesday, November 14th, ’94, occurred the separation of the soul and body of ifev. Joseph P. Thomp son, D. D., pastor of the A, M. E Zion church of this city. He was appointed to this place on October 1st, by Bishop Walters at Ithaca, N. Y., at the recent session of the Gen esee annual conference. Through the providence of God he was only permitted to actively offici ate in the church for three weeks, when he became so afflicted that he was compelled toremain in the house, and soon afterward to take to his bed, with the result as stated above. Fortunately, his family came to El mira prior to his final sickness and were at hand to administer to his needs and comfort his heart. When his condition became criti cal the place of his residence was visited daily by many of the friends and members of his church and con gregation. His countenance would! light up with a rapturous glow when he listened to the fervent prayers of anxious friends; and this was espe cially true when he heard the invo cations of Mrs. Fannie Brooks, whose sorrowful privilege it was to close his eyes when the angel of death had completed his gloomy task Thursday evening, November 15th, at eight o’clock the auditorium of Zion church was crowded to its utmost capacity by sympathising friends who had assembled to pay their tributes of respect to the de ceased, whose remains were lying in state in the vestibule of the churoh The mourning widow, two daugh ters and niece, with the members of Mt. Nebo Lodge, No. 42, F. and A. M., occupied seats in the fore part of the i auditorium. The services were opened by tne Rev. James Jfi. Mason, who lined the hymn “I the good fight have fought, &c.” Prayer was offered by Rev. George J. Cliff. Appropriate scriptural passages were read by Rev C A Smith, of Bingham ton. Rev Geo Deskins next an nounced the hymn, “Servant of God well done, &c.” Rev Mason then delivered a brief but eloquent ad dress and consolatory in character. He was followed by Rev. R. H Miles, pastor of the A. M. E. church, of this city, whose pastorate in Phil adelphia was contemporaneous with that of Dr. Thompson in that city. The two were warm friends. Rev. Miles’ remarks culminated in the idea that there was only .one Dr J P Thompson bearing his relation to Zion connection and his place would be hard to fill. The next speaker was fiev Chas A Smith. His acquaintance with Dr. Thompson extends over a long period of years. His address was consoling to the family and friends and was highly complimentary to the de ceased. Rev G J Cliff, of the Union church spokfe in terms of the greatest com mendation concerning our- beloved pastor He was in the New York conference of Zion when Dr Thomp son first joined it: Rev George Des kins, of the Shiloh Baptist church, extended the sympathy of his con gregation to our ohuroh and the be reared family. The last speaker was your humble servant,‘the writer, who as 'steward of the chureh and representative of the laity, expressed to the afflicted relatives the oondol ences of the membership and sympa thizing friends Prior to the services the family were entertained at tea at Mr and Mrs A Murphy’s,' and after the ser vices they lunohed with friends the residence of Mr and Mrs J Mat thews? At 11:31 p m, the fun party, coiwtoSwg of Mrs Mary Thompson, Misses Eva and Horte Thompson, Carrie LpdlQF, * niece, md Mr Grant 'ferrell, vbo, & f tentative of Mt. Yitbo Uodge, jorted the party t# ifed Bank, N vhere the final obsequies took eft Elmira eta the D, L, & W. The church is now dratted nourning in honor of the taster. On the folio Sunday-school be susceptible of adequate expres sion in words that we record the death of our ex-pastor and worthy? brother in Christ, Eev J P Thomp-1 son, who departed this life in the^ full triumph of faith November 14j at 4:05 a m. We can say that death j lores a shining mark and-is no re spector of persons in swinging his relentless scythe as he goes through the garden of life. He cuts the grain and God reaps the harvest. Rev Thompson was the pastor of our church thirty-six months. His services proved to ua that he was of God and for God. He was pare, modest and unassuming. He ad ministered every trust reposed in him by his Creator and his superior officers in the church. He was a man among men, loving as he was loved. His hand was never closed when charity made an appeal and his voice was always heard with words of sympathy and lovejfor those wfyo needed theta in hours of adversity and sorrow. He was the light and life of a happy home and when the light of life went out the darkness of sorrow shrouded the sunshine of happiness and left a be reaved and grief-stricken family. May God in his goodness and grace console their hearts. Resolved, That our most sincere sympathies be extended to the be reaved family and that we join them iu acknowledging the earthly loss of Rev. J. P. Thompson. But we know that our loss is his glorified gain across the river Jordan. Resolved, That we set apart a day for memorial services and invite the clergy of all denominations to take part with us to reverence the name of our departed friend and brother in Christ. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, to the Stab of Zion for publication and a copy be spread on the record of our church.

Washington, Pastor. # SOME PLAIN TALKING. BY BBV. B F. WHEELER - Mr. Editor:—The recent^ funeral of our beloved Bishop Thompson at Newburg, recalled one or two facte of connectional interest which ought not be overlooked by our church. 1. The first of these facts is, that a very large number of our represent ative men can be gotten together in a vdry short time. In the very short time from Friday to Monday noon, a very large concourse of our minis ters rushed togerher to attend the funeral, and the timely remarks of all who participated in the services showed that they are men of whom we need not be ashamed—men upon whom the church can rely in any time of need. * 2. The next fact is not so pleasant to aontemplate. It is that we are in too great a hurry about burying our bishops and other leader* of our church. Bishop Thompson died on Friday and was buried on Monday. And as a result, while many of the brethren near by were there, nothing like the dignity was given the occa sion which it so richly deserved. I spoke of it at the time to Elder J. W. Smith who was requested to report the^funeral with the hope that he would mention it in his report There was only one bishop present and had he not been home on sudden and urgent business we would have been disgraced by burrying one of onr oldest bishops and not a bishop present to take part in the services. The services began very nearly half an hour before Bishop Walters reached the church, hence there was po bishop there to preside. '1 he ser vices should have been delayed until Bishop Walters arrived. Not even a general officer presided. These things, my brethren, must never occur again while we are able to boast ef a ehu»oh nearly a half million strong W hen one of our bishops dies, it is not simply a fami ly bereavement, but a great oalami y which affects our entire ohureh. And the whole church should see to it that due honor is paid to her noble dead. In honoring them she honors' herself., No bishop should be buried Ip less than six days. And that is »ho# enough time. But in that: d$e hhe w^oie church oould be of-j of great lo$s we| bave sustained s,teps ^ babes to pay a fitting tribute gt Re-; ipeot.to the noble dead. Six dajf vould allow time for all our bishops Se rdaoh the house of mourning and arrangements be made by the^ and ether dignitaries of : the funeral serviees.* ^ I > » t mmgmk ; i r iMfiMjl - g — had a more dignified funeral. Hit tfuneral ought to hare been held ut |Mother Zion ohuxch, New York. A. Swell written sketch of hit laborious : life ought to hare been read by one !of our bishops or Drs. Jacob Thomas or Decker. A delegation of minis* ters could have accompanied the corpse to Newburg, where another * short service might have been held. ■ Then we could feel as a great church that we had not only proper ly honored our noble dead, but our selves as well I am quite sure Bishop Thompson’s family would have consented to put off the funeral a day or two had they been made to see the great propriety of so doing. I have ventured to speak in this plain way to my brethren because I know they are well enough acquaint ed with me to assure them that noth ing but ^he welfare of my church has prompted me in saying what I have said. JerseyJCity* N. J. THE A. M E. ZION BOOK CONCERN. [COBTIMUED FBOM FIRST P*OB ] burden by the mere insertion ot a notice in The Star of Zioh, nor by distant appeals to the ministry a ad church; somebody must take them and “get about the country” with them and see that they are disposed of- Appoint the proper man to the position, pay him ji living salary, say •800, with the understanding that he is to hustle for his own salary, ard will be expected to turn ov* r to the concern a reasonable repoit af in crease at each bishop's meet'ug. Don’t let it be understood in Zion connection that only favorites here and there are.to be treated with Gen eral Oflice “plums,” but let the prin cipal be, the elevation of the fiittest. Mr, Editor, the Official Directory appeared this month December. It is a “gem,” and if somebody in the church thinks it will be a shabby af fair the work will administer to him a severe rebuke. I am willing for its c mpariaon with any similar publica tion to any other church cf the Afro Americans, and not many of the whites is much better. Conscious ct the reputation of my chnroh and tha. of my own, and the respmsibUi:t that I am under to taoee wh > a i pointed me to the work, and the en loreement that appointment received by the Board of Bishops, I have put »ut what I br ieve* will jtytat credit upon all and greatly help the church in more than jfour ways. The benefit to be duriv^d from the information eontaioed in ^.Official. Directory especially to those in the* remoter points of the chur. h and in deed to all is incaloula !e Bishop Walters and a dbxeu or more of our prominent ministers who have exam ined the work pronounce it a grand ’ result of our financial outlay, ooll«c tiou cf important statistics, cons■ roc tion of tables, historical data, and treatment upon the several iutereata of our rapidly growing church. Bishop Hood, who examined a portioa of the work, and whose opinion takes well in kb church, did not heoitate to give what he saw of Ike work his approval. We must elect at least three bishops in 1896* no matter who opposes it* It must be done for the benefit of the church which needs them, men’s per sonal interests and desires notwith standing. It is now lime for the General Conference to act as such and not be almost entirely controlled by episcopal influenoe. Some mao talk a good deal about this matter but are » afraid tosp-ak ibove a whisper. Men all over the connection will as?. “That’s just what I have btsn think ing about,” and will oome up to th* General Conference looking )ia% cringing ears,.ready to do the noble (?, act for God and somebody blae for little fhvor and an appointment Snot men ought to be left at home and me* of some self opinions sent to legislate for G d and Zion. I may not be as r.be next General Conference, but I hope that Conference will define the im ts of Episcopal prerogatives and ori 'ileges and those of the delegate* >r render the present ambiguous pei »'*xing, confuted and unoertaut at r*ng«. eats of “Limitation” appruxi inanely dear. *e ere jealous of the “Dignity •or noble bishops, and do not like »ee them mixing np in every in trig •chome, pulitical trick, and an times deviliah purpose* of men.
