Once in a while it does a man good rto crucify selfishness and make the ^welfare of somebody else the first consideration. A minister should never enter the pulpit without careful preparation. He should study the faces of his au dience and adapt his sermon to the jplace, people, time and occasion. There is something wrong with the.eternal fitness of things when a minister gets five dollars and a good ler for performing a marriage iy which takes only five min ile the editor who takes two Sours writing up a list of the presents only gets a piece of cake.

M E. Zion Publication House and Snpi irintendent of the Sunday school Ui ion, has been honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the Kansis Wesleyan University at its comm incement, June 12, in Sali na, Kansis. This University which is very c ireful how it hands out de grees is of national reputation, and Zion feeh much elated over this rec ognition of one of the most intellectu al young men we have. Dr. Blackwell is well worthy of it, arid he will wear the honor with becoming modesty. Congratulations, Brother Blackwell ! [The notice given of this honor last week was written by the local report er, J. =E. Smith, who caught the news as i; was flying in the wind]. Bisl op Small is All Bight. The goneral opinion is that J. B. Small, I . D., is going to make a grand ar d popular Bishop. After welcomin g Bishop Pettey to the Phila delphia and Baltimore conference he said—pei sonally speaking—‘‘Breth ren, I have been very much misun derstood. I have been misrepresent ed ; calle 3 tyrannical. Time will tell you better. I shall do to every man as I would have every man do to me. J. B. Smill is going to treat every man righ:, and he will not stoop to low thinj s. I will not spite any man in makin appointments. I suppose these uni ind misrepresentations were simply crucibles in which God was putting ne so that I could stand more nov than I could years ago. Yes, wh« n Bishop Harris by some slip of tho tongue at Rev. R. H. Stitt’s funeral culled me Bishop, and Bishop Hood laughed heartily, I said I wanted to be a Bishop, and I meant it. I am glad I am one, and I shall try to prove worthy of my position.” The above are grand words from a grand man. We are as well acquaint ed with 3ishop Small as any man in Zion, and we expect to see him second to none ii i popularity. Let those per sons who delight to misre’pi'esent and stab othurs when they want to be bishops aud general officers, or desire other prominent positions, be sure they are right before they continue this devilish “business at the old stand.” How do you like lor people to do thfse things to you? Eh? Rev. Jol n H. Hector Going Abroad. Who lias not heard of Rev. J. H. Hector, cf York, Pa ? He is one of the most remarkable men of the pres ent day. His life story surpasses any romance in its startling realities. Left an > irphan at an. early age, he passed a youth of hardship and pri vation su ch as few have experienced. Later on he fought in some of the fiercest si ruggles of the great Ameri can war, and was five times fearfully wounded so that his survival was al most miraculous, He held Gen. Grant’s horse during one of the hot battles, and when Grant was Presi dent he lulled at the White House and was mmediately recognized and was pres anted a gold medal by the Presiden i which he has to-day. Af ter a wo iderful experience he at last became inverted and is now one of the big divines of the A. M. E. Zion church, a yery successful minister., and one of the most powerful and ef fective a ivocates of prohibition and other mo ral reforms. He is a full-blooded Negro of su perb ph rsique and great natural ability, t) which, despite all difficul ties, he has added a self-education i which m ist compel admiration. As an oratoQ, be is great, carrying his audience along with him by a tor- : nado of < loquence, humor and pathos < that is fa irly irresistible. Hia origi- < nality, w it,' readiness of repartee and ] intense e irnestness, quickly open-the i #ay for 1 he shafts of truth which he 1 hurls wit 1 consummate tact an d telling 1 force. C ver in Great Britain he will i write his name high as an orator and £ preacher X f the prayer* of the Church go yith this son of Zion and minister of bur Lord Jews Christ. Welcome and Hotter* to Bishop Pettey. When the Philadelphia and Balti* more annual oonforenoe convened in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church, Washington, D. C„ Wednes day June 17th at 12 m., it was hon ored with the presence of Bishops Hood, Pettey and Small. Bishop Pettey being the presiding Bishop, and this being his first time to pre side over a Northern conference, was indeed the central figure of attrac tion. Young, learned, oratorical, unassuming and gentlemanly, he at once won the affection of the conter ence. His wit and humor, his parlia mentary rulings and his thorough knowledge of church law brought forth frequent applause, while his masterly episcopal address, his sweet singing and his brilliant sermon charmed and captured the confer ence. Concerning his episcopal address, Hon. C. H. J. Taylor, who was ap" pointed Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia by President Cleveland, was present during its de livery and at its close arose and said, ‘Your honor, the Bishop, and emi nent divines, I have traveled on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and have heard many addresses from white and black Bishops and other noted dignitaries, but I must confess I never heard a grander, terser, more scholarly, abler address than I have heard to-night. It is an up-to-date address—not labored—perfectly fa miliar with current events happening in the religious and political world. Bishop Pettey is a great and courage ous man, one ot the great thinkers of this country, and not only your big denomination but the entire race should feel proud of him. Whan I sat and looked at him to-night, at hiB manly bearing, and heard his address, the melody of that heavy voice, I said‘Surely oratory belongs to Ham and Ham’s children.’ If Bishop Pet tey was sick to-night when he read his address, then I want to hear him when he is well.” The above opinion is valuable, for it comes from a black statesman who is not a member of Zion but of Bethel, and it shows that the ability of our men which has long been quietly recognized is now receiving unselfish ly public commendation from men and papers of other great denomina tions. Kecorder Taylor was not present when Bishop Hood spoke of the abili" ty of Bishop Pettey, but both seem to bare the same opinion. In introduc ing Bishop Pettey the Senior Bishop said : “Bishop Pettey, who comes to preside over this conference, is a say scholar and an orator. When I orator, I mean of the highest type. Oratory, like everything else, has a soul aa well as a body. I know a graduate of Livingstone College who is almost as fine an orator as the late J. C. Price; but there is no soul in his oratory. Just as the soul excels the body in value, so the soul of ora tory excels cold oratory. Oratory should not simply seek to please the ear, but to reach men’s hearts. When this is done, you have what is called pathos. This is soul oratory. If Je bus hadn't been filled with love for the souls of men after he had been roughly treated in the temple by those Scribes and Pharisees, He never would have been able to utter those words, ‘O Jerusalem! ’ It is the most pathetic speech ever uttered by mortal being. Then some men have pathos in their hearts, but it doesn’t measure up in their lives. Their lives are full of inconsistency. They have weaknesses which hinder the best that is in them. '‘Bishop Pettey has soul oratory of tTne grandest type and his life is con sistent with his oratory. When he preaches, minds are instructed and hearts are affected and edified. He is brainy. I expect to hear grand re sults from the Philadelphia and Bal Limore conference, because you have such an able Bishop.” Following Bishop Hood the Gener il Secretary, Rev. William Howard Day, D. D., said“ We are proud.. to welcome to the North and to this con* ’erence such a representative as Bish >p Pettey. Bishop you need not read iharacter in eyes, in smiles, in ap ilatfse, in prayers going up for you o find out if you are welcome here. Ye have known of your fame, of your vork in the South, for Zion and the ace, and we are pleased to have you a our presiding officer- You g proud of you bscaqti yon hav* stood in her dsfsnts all th#M yean, and while we are eatiififd with the BUh ope we have had, we are equally satisfied with you. You gits the word, and we will follow so noble a man. " Bishop Fettey responded happily, saying among otherihings: “I thank sincerely the Almighty God for this expression, ‘I am what I am, how I am, and where I am.’ ' As to Bish op Hood, so far as my relation to this world and to the chureh is concern ed, I am largely what he made me. I do not mean to liay I have dupli cated his life, for there is only one Bishop Hood. Afttr God made him he broke the mould. When I saw him with his wit, energy, zeal and stern manhood surmounting obstacles and making ^difficulties submit to him, I said,.‘If I hate these and oth er qualities I? shall surmount and make obstacles submit'to me, too.’ Twenty-eight years ago, in Salis bury, N. C., I saw Bishop Hood mount the pulpit.' He did not know I was in existence. I do not remember his text, but I do his sub ject. At the close of his great and stirring sermon I went home and erected a family altar, and God knocked off many11 rough corners, chiseled, squared, plhmb-lined and polished me up. “Bishop Hood ordiinedme a deacon, an elder, and assisted in ordaining me a Bishop. If iny mind comes in contact with him tc-day, I still honor, him as a ‘father in Israel.’ Shake speare said, ‘We are part of what we have met.” Hav’.ng met Bishop Hood, socially, and ecclesiastically, I wish to change the words of Shake spere and say, ‘We are the sum and substance of what we have met.’ I thank God for the existence and pres* ence of Bishop Hood and hope he will be with us during this conference session. Born, reared, educated, ordained and labored as / a .preach er and educator in the South, I am glad to stir around. I didn’t care where the General Conference threw me; if I lighted in Pennsylvania, Tex as or California, thunk God. “I do not come herewith the idea to boss. When elected Bishop eight years ago I cried, because I knew I was not fit to be a Bishop. I didn’t have’the ability. From that day to this I have been trying to fit myself for this holy office. You brethren think, talk and speak of me as your brother. Me, personally,'I am your brother. So far (is my office is con cerned you can honor that if jou choose. I am a mply a common laborer with you in the cause of Christ Jesus. May God bless us for the next four- years, and may we have a1 pleasant administration.” [Loud ap plause.] i Directions for Sending Children’s Day Mot ey.

Editob : Permit me to ask a .few questions through jour paper. I freely admit that I hare no claim to offer you for .asking such a great fav or, only as a true and tried Zionite and that X am in good fellowship in my ohuroh (Avery Mission ohuroh, Allegheny City, Pa.,). Why is it that the lay delegates are not given any representation in the distribution of offices by the Gen eral Conference ? This is a matter of much importance to the people who make up the great Zion church and should not be passed so lightly by by the General Conference: Is it -not true that the laity is the main support of the whole structure ? This ia a fact that cannot be contradicted. ,The whole connection is dependent upon the people at large. We are not all called to preach, but are there not many things that might be done that would not require a man or a woman to be able to preach in order that they might do it? I think this is a question of much importance. The eyes of the masses are watching every move that is being made by their lead ers. "The voice of the people is the voice of Gad.” J I think that the dis tribution of offices should reach out and gather in some of the laity. When you need financial aid the laity is never forgotten and they always re spond freely and liberally. Why is it that the officers chosen (with few exceptions) are always from the South ? North Carolina has five Bishops; South Carolina, one; Kentucky, one; Pennsylvania, two. • Why is it that there are no institu tions of learning.in the North. Is it possible that the North is not able to maintain one or more ? And why not take some _of our Northern educa tors to instruct or to help instruct in some one of the many institutions that Zion has in the South ? Are there none to be found in the North that could fill the requirements ? The soil in the North is just as fertile as that in the South, and I believe that we have up here men and wo men in Zion who are as capable of sowing the seeds of moral and reli gious truth in the minds of Zion’s sons and daughters as can be found in the South; but it seems that if we should seek elevation in office we must hail from the South or we will nbt be in it at all. Now tell me : Is it because the North, the East and the West have not not been loyal to Zion ? I frankly answer, No ! We have been zealous in the perpetuation of our beloved Zion. We have always been ready with willing hands and open hearts; but taxation without representation in many parts has ceased to be' a virtue. I was told When the General Conference met four years ago at Pittsburgh that as we were North of the Mason and Dilon’s line, we must not expect much and we should not be disap pointed : it seems too true- Is this the proper way to treat us ? Is is not high time that the people whose eyes have beheld bo much and whose hearts have been made to swell with de pair should let their wants be known? Why not tear down the petition wall and be one solid temple dedicated to God with no North, no South, no East, no West? When it comes to chosing an officer let us not say where does he "hail from ? ” but is he wor thy ; is he true and tried and willing to be tried again : whe does he trust in? If in God, his trust is well founded: tell him to follow his guide and fear no danger, for we are fighting under king Emanuel. I am glad that the scramble for the bishopric is over. Knives have been sharpening for four years in or der to cut one another so that the way to those 2.000 dollars should be made clear for the Big I’s. Well we have them. All we believe are good men, but what shall we do with them ? How shall we pay them when we owe those who have been laboring so faithfully for /ears and can’t pay them ? Is it right to take a bigger load on to lighten the wagon You say that you want to extend the educational interest; want to spread the fields of missions; want to pay off the church indebtedness. Would not-tkfer salary of the three newly made Bishops greatly aid you in freeing the connection of debt thereby putting ns on a good finan cial basis ? There are large fields for home mission work where Zion’s standard has not yet been planted— mnch territory to be invaded by her zealous sons. Let us stop caviling and up to our duty. Let us plant our standard wherever man has trod bat with a few hardship. We all can't be bishops. Let the wings of Zion be extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific within the next few years. In view- of our church jubilee to be held in New York Oity soon, we are taxed at our church to try to raise $1,000 of tiie one hundred thousand dollars that is to be raised by the connection. Now, it has been said that this money is to pay off the in debtedness of the whole connection. We would like to hear through The Star op Zion- what the indebtedness of the connection is and to whom it is due. If it is due to our Bishops or to the wives of our dear departed Bishops, why not let the people know: it would certainly help the cause along. The people have a right to know these things. They ask us | and we do not know: we all should know. Will the Star please enlight en us on these matters? The time has come when the people must know what they are paying out their money for. There is much complaint up here about the presiding elder system. It might work well on a circuit, but it is a burden on a station. Now, for instance, our Elder comes and holds his conference one day, preaches on Sunday and we are to pay him $56 per quarter for what he does;-if he does not come and our pastor attends to it for him, we still pay him the $56. Now this'does not look just and right. It seems to me to be an impo sition on the people. Now if this con tinues, some of the churches will have to reduce the pastor’s salary in order to pay the elder. The recommendations to centre all of the departments in North Car olina is another step sectarian in prin ciple aad Will be sure to encourage and irrepressible conflict in the church in years to come. “From the fullness of the heart the tongue shall speak." Allegheny Oity, Pa. We Mast Claim the Honor. [The following communication, which appeared in a recent issue of the Indian apolis Freeman, explains itself]: In your issue of the 13th appeared an article Written by Rev, J. M. Hen derson, of New York City, reviewing the work of the recent General Con ference of the A. M. E. church, at Wilmington, N. C. In referring to the advanced step taken in electing two laymen to general offices, he asks: •‘What other Afro-American church has been so liberal ? ” Since he ques tions “without any intention of mak ing an assertion,” I answer without any intention to start a controversy but to give honor to the church de serving it for “being the first to take so great a stride forward; ” that the A. M. E. Zion church elected at its General Conference in Pittsburg, Pa., in 1892, Hon. John C. Dancy, a lay man, editor of the Connectional Quar terly, and Prof. S. G. Atkins, another layman, educational secretary—this act making both general officers. Ac cording to what Rev. Henderson says the A. M. E. Zion chnrch “will claim the honor as her own.” For infor mation I will state that Zion was the first among the Methodist Episcopal churches to grant to the laity repre sentation in the annual and general conferences.
