OPtGS-.A.iN' OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL ZIOLT CHURCH IIN" AMERICA VOLUME XX. NO. 49. CHARLOTTE, N. C„ THUF;SDAY, DECEMBER 3,1896. CENTENNIAL VOLUME, 1796-1896. BANKS-HOOD. Two Young Hearts United in the Holy Bonds of Wedlock. THE LIST OF PEESENTS. The marriage of Mr. James C. Banks of Winston, N. C., and Miss Margette L. Hood, the next youngest daughter of Bishop Hood of this city, took place Wednesday evening at half past eight in the Africaif M. E. Zion church. The ceremony was to have been performed by the Rev. Dr. W. H. Goler, president of Livingstone College, being assisted by Rev. P. L. Cuyler, the pastor of the church here; but serious illness prevented his com ing and the ceremony was performed by Rev. Cuyler and Presiding Elder Hill of this district. The marriage in all probability created more interest and drew a larger number of citizens of both races than any similar event here amohg the colored people. The brid al party arrived promptly on time, and as the organist, Miss Florrie H. Williams, started up the wedding march from Lohengrin, the ushers filed down the left aifele of.the church. They were followed by the brides maids and then catne the maid 'of hpnor, Miss Gertie 0. Hood, the old est sister of the bride. The groom and groomsman, Mr. John A. Blume also of Winston, came next. Then to softer strains of music the bride, leaning upon the arm of her venera ble father, slowly marched down the aisle. She was beautifully attired in white satin trimmed in pt. a’applique lace ribbon and orange blossoms. She was completely shrouded in a veil of Tulle. *> The groom was dressed in the con ventional full dress black suit as were _ - also the groomsman and ushers. The bridesmaids produced a very pretty effect by the similarity of their cos tumes of white orgafidie. When the ceremony was over the bridal party led by the newly wedded pair marched out as the organist played Mendelsohn’s famous wedding march. A reception was held at the home of the Bishop where a large number of the friends of the family were invit ed. The presents are numerous, val uable and useful. The bridesmaids were Misses Fan nie Burney, Eva Henderson, Hettie G. McNeill, Cora Wilkins and Alice Christmas; the ushers were Messrs. Joseph Hood, brother of the bride, B. F. Williams of Newbern, Oscar J. Hall, Edward IN. Williams and Rev. L. E. Farely. > The future home of Mr. and Mrs. Banks will be Win ston-Salem, N. C.

BY EEV. C. L. BYEES. This being the second time in si: ye irs I have written for the Star, al lo v me to say that Zion is oh he m Irch here in Morganton, N. 0. On third quarter, held by Rev.-M. "V Mirable, P. E., convened July tb 2l —26. Elder Marable leaves n< st me unturned in his quarterljy con fe -ences. I have been under him fo si c years. He believes in headinj everything with some money; he ha w irked hard to bring his district i tl e front. We have raised here sine b st quarter, the 4th of April to th 2 ith of July, $145.82 ; for this quar t< r $22.72. It was a success id ever; v, ay and said to be the grande: o ' the kind ever held in the aflai istor othe church. At 11 o’clock he preachpd a ser n ion that set the heart on holy fire I a the evening he adnlinis&erted th lord’s supper to 57; at night h a roke of the happy state of the Chris t an. He knows how to handle th gospel. Elder Marable is indeed j ower in the pulpit, a strong ma: end a safe leader. That is why th l Statesville district now stands as th banner, because of the earner labo ( f this leader and his ministers! Nei < hurches are being built and rfemod ded; so why not call it the blnne district? We expect this to retnai 1 be banner, for dollars, new change md members will tell the n 1 Our membership is not large, but it is • strong and will do her whole duty. We have a fine board of 24 steward esses who look well to’the interest of their church, and who made the church a present of a fine carpet at a 1 cost of $11.75. This is our first year ' here, but look out for our report in ’ December, 1896. We think much of this good people. DEDICATORY SERVICES Of the Douglass Memorial Church.—A Review of the Work. BY REV.

Deskins, Baptist; £rof. J. W. Roberts, Presi dent Elmira Business College, and many other distinguished churchmen aud citizens. The visiting A. M. E. Zion clergymen filled a number of the pulpits of the white churches on Sun day morning and evening, with ex pressions of universal satisfaction. Bishop Walters preached the dedi catory sermon at 3 p. m., from.Hag gai xi:9—“The glpry of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, saith the Lord of hosts; and in this placed will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.” The sermon was a masterly effort, and heartily appreciated by the large audience of one thousand people. Owing to the lateness of the hour after taking the offering, the Bishop postponed the dedicatory ceremonies till Monday afternoon. About twelve hundred people attended the evening services and heard an able sermon delivered by Dr. Ely, Joy and spiritual en thusiasm were at high tide during the entire day, and the services and scenes of tho day resembled the occa sion of an annual conference, Every person, white and colored, appeared anxious to contribute his share of compliment upon; the pastor and con 1 * lp swell the pleas been forming in the city of Elmira for nearly fifty years, and to Prof. J. W. Roberts, who is the Secretary of the Building Committee and whose efforts together with those of his amia ble wife, has been contributed night and day, week after week and month after month to help Rev. Corrothers in accomplishment of his great work. The building is named in honor of the late distinguished Frederick Douglass, who was a member of the A. M. E. Zion church from his early youth till the day of his death, and gave the first ten dollars toward our gre.’t Centennial Jubilee Celebration in New York City in October. It is a brick structure,with brown stone trim ings, two stories, of “Gothic” architec ture, “T” shaped at the rear, 56x92, and one hundred feet in height to the top of the bell tower, situated on the corner of two prominent streets, surrounded with a six foot wide stone flag walk. There are two large Memorial windows looking out on either street, modeled after the great ly admired windows of the First M. E. church, stained glass windows of varied paterns adorn the building on every side. There are two principle and one local entrance on Dickinson' St., and one main entrance on Fourth St., the latter being so arrang ed as to diverge into the main audi torium, the lecture room, the gallery, the parlor and the reception room, and the local entrance on Dickinson Street, leading into the kitchen, pas tor’s study, and reception room; the galery is also entered from Dickin son Street, as is the pulpit direct. Ice-frosted glass adorn the lower story windows, and heavy doom of latest pattern. The auditorium is capable of seating seven hundred people including the gallery, which is built in a half circle, the whole be ing patterned after the amphitheatre idea, and so arranged as to bring the entire audience in close range of the pulpit, from which an ordinary whis per can be distinctly heard e^en in the adjoining Sunday-school room, which fornjs an addition of three hundred seating capacity when the beautiful lift-doors are raised. The pew# are of heavy oak, fine finish and highly polished, with book racks, and/the floor is carpeted with becoming tapestry, the aisles with ^Shthr^tWL^nd pulpit Tine of a large size'pipe organ, and capa ble of containing besides, about forty songsters, fronted by a beautiful, highly polished railwork, and ob servable from any part of the audience room, and even 'the adjoining Sun day-school room. A large chandelier of gold-burnished brass, with twenty four sperm candle jet burners, swings from the centre dome, and twenty four other higrh grade brass lights, iD pairs of two furnish the light. Unique arrangements for ventilation are se cured, and two large dry air furnaces furnish the heat. A fine altar rail and kdeeling form surround the plat form, and convenient space for the administration of the services. The lower story consists of a la dies’ parlor, beautifully furnished with plush settees, and chairs, car peted, and hung with lace curtains, and capable of seating two hundred guests; pastor’s study, and a recep tion room, or festival parlor which will contain three hundred guests; a dining room which will 3eat eighty five guests, and large kitchen, with pantries, and the usual modern water closets, coal bin and storage room. There is no Negro church outside the city of New York in this State con taining the conveniences that this gem of a church structure- does, nor do we know of one in the city that does. The Sunday-school room is up stairs, and opens into the main audi ence^room by lift doors, and it is set with chairs, carpeted, and contains the Sunday-school Jibrary, and an in fant department at the rear of the room. It will seat about three hun dred. The total coat of the building is $10,490.00 exclusive of the grounds, $5,000 00 of which has been paid, %nd $700.00 cash in hand. The sub scriptions and cash during dedication week reached $3,700, and they are still coming in. The city pastors took a deep interest in this work, and by their congregations, greatly aided in its success ; in fact the entire cit izenship of Elmira was interested, and claims a share of the credit. Hun dreds of the people visited the church and inspected.* its varied apartments with comments of surprise and ap proval, and not a few left a hand some contribution attesting their ap preciation This building is truly an honor to the memory of the distinguished dead for whom it is named, a credit to the taste, industry, and culture of the colored citizenship of Elmira, an or nament to the city, a pride to the white citizens, and a monument to the religious progress of the race The accomplishment of this grand work was simply phenomenal. In nineteen months the membership q1 this church was more than doubled, it now being 191, the general tax raised from forty, to oue hundred doUars, the^pastor’s salary from five and seven hundred, to one thousand dollars, and all other local and general financial interests propor tionately increased and met, and besides all this, erected this magnifi cent church, with nearly the ten thousand dollars cost provided for Rev. S. L. Corrothers, who succeeded to the short pastorate of the late Rev. Dr. Joseph P. Thompson, who died at this charge, is a man of faith, pur pose, and industry ; he thinks not on failure, but sees success in the start and goes directly to it. Wonderful man, that Corrothers. In this opinion every white and colored citizen of Elmira share. This work places El mi a charge in the lead in the Cen tral and Western New York Confer ence, and it is the largest, and lead ing in membership, of any Negro church in the state, outside the City of New York ; all in nineteen months The trustees are—Anderson Mur phy, president; Daniel Webster, treasurer; J. B. Laws, secretary; E. A. U. Brooks, Allen Fitch, Thomas H. Stewart, Jeremiah Gejrge, Wil liam M. Hall, William Dorsey, L. H. Johnson. The building committee consists of Mr. Seymour Dexter, pres ident 2nd National bank, president; Mf. L. G. Ratburn, banker; Prof. #J. W. Roberts, President Elmira Busi ness College, secretary ; the pastor and Mr. John Broofeer. The church was formally dedicated on Monday, September the 7tb, 3 p. m., by Bish op Walters, assisted by the visiting pastortl and a number of the city pastors} Interesting services, fol lowed i\y appropriate festivities were held evtry night during the week— drawind large orowds every evening —and 1 rgely participated in by the white ci iaens who constituted a chief portion >f the program.

He who is in the right way, the way of reat duty, the way of God’s appointment, has reason for expect* ing i;hat God will somehow guide him. Only, let him be sure that he is in the right way. This is to be deter* mined, not by what one imagines is the way-, not by wbat he chooses as the path to walk in, not by deciding from circumstances what way to take, but rather and especially by most anxious consultation with God, he may mark out the way and plainly show it to him. Then, being in the right way, walking in it obediently, gladly, steadily, the believer may confidently expect to be prosperous* ly guided. A bright preacher says: “Many men run into all manner of perplexities by their own folly and self-will, and never ask whether their acts are right or wrong, wise or fool ish, until they begin to taste the bit ter consequences. Then they cry to God to help them and think them selves very religious because they do ! That is not the way to get God’s help. Such folk are like Italian btigands, who had the image of the Virgin in their hats, and sometimes had the pope’s commission in their pockets, and therefore go out to murder and ravish, in sure and certain hope of God’s favor and protection. Such ones impose upon God, although in their ignorance they may not know it. They want their own way, but they cannot have their own way aqd be in the right way at the same time. It :.s hard for many to learn this les son. IMPORTANT STATEMENTS. & PRIZES. The special prize banners to the church and Sunday-school, and the fifty dollars in gold to the pastor and presiding elder raising the largest amount of money, will not be awarded until the whole affair is over, June 1897.
