^SECOND ANNUAL MEETING SECOND CON VOCATIONAL DIS TRICT. The second annual meeting of the ^second' convocational district will be aield Jan. 26th—29th, 1922. at Little Jtock A. M. E. Zion church, Charlotte, 3*. C., corner 7th and N. Myers Sts., .Hev. H. P. Lankford, D. D., pastor. The conferences composing this •district are: Western North Carolina, 'West Central North Carolina, Central -North Carolina, North Carolina, Cape ! 2?ear, South Carolina, Palmetto, Pee j Dee and South Georgia. " Every presiding elder's district is masked to have a representative pres 7 *-ent, either a district president, dist. ‘secretary Young Woman’s society, ^district superintendent Buds of TPromise, or one of the aggressive 'local officers. Better understanding of the work is ’‘what we need In our missionary so ciety. If we send our leaders to these -meetings the information and the in spiration they get will enable them ’to do better work. u Every local officer that can Bhould ’tie present. Let us make this the ^banner convocation. It will take the enthusiastic co-operation of every rmember in this district at it and al ways at it to do this. Work, prayer .^and faith will put it over. Now, al together, let us all use these three .master builders and put the capstone <on this convocation of missionary ac complishment. Work, pray and have rfaith for ultimate success. .MISSIONARY CONVOCATION, JAN UARY 26TH—29TH, 1922, CHAR LOTTE, N. C. .Dear Co-Worker: We know that you have been ^watching the columns of The Star tor some other word about the second -annual session of the second convoca tional district and we have been as anxious as you to tell you about it, "but we have been unable to find a place in which to hold the meeting until today. We have been very fortunate in ^securing the most conveniently lo cated city in the entire district, 'Charlotte, N. C. All roads lead to ‘Charlotte, right in the hot bed of Zion Methodism, a place where all Aife Zion folks know about, for the _A. M. E. Zion Publication House is ^Located here, where the Sabbath ‘School literature is made, the Quar terly Review is printed, the Mission -Ary Seer, our own paper is published and the scintillating rays of The -Star is taking the temperature and registering the heart throbs of every interest in the A. M. E. Zion church. Therefore there is no better place to hold the convocation than in Char lotte. Then, too, Charlotte is one of the most hospitable places in all JZion;' therefore, the meeting should !>e a very representative one. Every -worker should make an extraordinary effort to bo present, and to make the meeting far-reaching in effect. It is an ill wind that blows nobody *ood. The ill wind that has delayed cur visit to Africa has blown us the good fortune to get everything ar Tangted for the convocation before we do get away. We have been delayed so long in finding a place to hold the meeting that we have very little time in which to get our finance together, but we have one of the best little devices tor getting quick money that can be used, heart tags. They were used in Monroe, N. C., at the annual con ference, together with the little bar rels sent out by our Publishing House, for holding the money collect ed, and in two days sixty-one dollare -was collected. Have a “Tag Day.” If you wish to cover the town in which you live, get a permit from the mayor, ther put twenty or more tags in the hands •of your women and send them out Instruct them to solicit ten cents 01 more for the convocation and ther pin the tag on as a receipt for the money and the wearer of the taf -will show that he or she is in sym -pathy with the cause. If the tagginf is to be done in the church or conn try, just send for the tags and t&| away. The tags are 25 cents per hun dred strictly cash. Order at once fron Mrs. A. W. Blackwell, 624 South 16tl St., Philadelphia, Pa. Then we have the dime banki which hold five dollars, which we dis tribute free to any one who will ordei them, these to be returned at th< -meeting to Mrs. Ma V. Smith, «ii ,;.T. ; —■■■ •.-I North Myers St., Charlotte, N. C.; af che meeting, 1309- R. St., N. W., Washington, D. C. We.are all very anxious that every church in this district shall send a financial report, and we are asking each pastor to see to it that the missionary women of his congrega tion shall not leave his church out of the list. The women of one - or two churches have signified their inten-^ tion of sending $100. We hope that with the tags and the other efforts put forth their intentions may be re alized. We wonder if many more can through the same kind of effort, re* port $10, $20 or $50. Lets all try to do our very best. The very best that we can say to our Heavenly Father. “This is my very best.” We are hoping that the delegation will be very-large. How inspirational it would be if there were twenty-five district officers and one hundred local officers present! What an impulse for a better and more efficient work would go out from this meeting. The results cannot be estimated. There will be a nominal sum asked for ent rtainment, but do not let that keep you away. Prepare to meet this expense. Notify Rev. H. P. Lankford, Charlotte, N. C., and Miss V. Rich ardson, 1006, West Monroe St., at Salisbury, N. C.. if you will attend the meeting—one to secure you a Qome and the other to place you on the program. Do this at the earliest possible moment. Yours for a fine meeting, Annip W. Blackwell, Cor. Sec. W. H. and F. M. Society, Phila., Pa. NOTICE.—TO THE PUBLIC AND RACE AT LARGE. Rev. D. D.

Bennett, presiding elder ECHOES FROM THE LAND OF THE SKY. (Continued from page 2) We chanced to hear a son of Zion in his own town and among his own people, among the hills where he in childhood caught the vision of what God wanted him to do; where he had his first dreams of greatness; where he received his first inspiration to stand up and be counted among the leaders of the younger generation. He had done his best to overcome his home criticisms'* which are usually launched against one who goes out and comes back with the sign of marked success inscribed on the es cutcheon of his standard. He deliv ered the emancipation address of the ' 59th anniversary of the emancipation of the American Negro. He was at his best and held his audience enrapt for one hour and fifteen minutes. The address was a gem, evidencing close study and limitless research, sublime in delivery, reaching heights in o... tory unsurpassed by most of the modern day orators, taking place with the long silenced but not for gotten Robert Brown Elliott, who« once made the legislative hails of South Carolina ring with unmatched eloquence> or with the lamented Fred Douglas, who championed the cause of freedom when our mothers and fathers were bowed beneath the yoke of a task master whose brutality caused the world to rise up and stamp out a slavery that befouled the flag of a free and independent na tion; or Joseph C. Price who plead in the eouits of the old world for means to assist in eradicating tho dense illitnccy that mill our. race group the v'etims of the >mscu|. ulcus and intensified racial hate. This young man took his wonted, high place in the republic of letters some years ago, but upon this occasion-he more than came up to the expectan cy of his friends. He s ali-emir as a great preacher, an! wlu vevor ho goes the people are -a. -■* than anx ious to hear Dr. W. J. Walls, D. D.^ Editor of The Star of Zion, and to keep him down the old linemen will have to string up new wires and keep pulling. Rev. C. C Alleyne is another young giant that stands with poised lance. His life is clean, and his record of achievements counts many points in his favor. About him we will say more later. Rev*. C. S. Whitted is one who talks little, but whose labors foy the church cannot be discounted. Rev. C. W. Brown, D. D., is a great pastor, and a fine young man, and his star rises daily. Rev. E. D. W. Jones, D. D., the he ro of many battles, is still the ido*. of the trenchmen. Rev. A. Hannum, D. D., whose pas toral record in the church has never been discounted, has a spotless Christian life, and it is the best evi dence of Ms fitness for a high and exalted position. Then there are others and still others in the constellation of great men. We shall speak of them later on, and it will be a pleasure to point to their worth and fitness, not to curry favors from them for we care nothing for their promises—but to let the clans learn of those from whom they shall pick to guide the old ship for our children in the next gen eration, for the old guard,—to which we belong, is rapidly passing up; choose well and wisely. “Out of our bourne of time and space, The sea may bear me far, I hope *to see 5my pilot face to face, When I have crossed the bar.” Maryville, Tenn. WATCHING THE BREAKERS. Dr. Davenport Breaks His Silence in Pungent Paragraphs. Ireland fought seven hundred years to obtain her freedom. In the seven. - centuries of her struggles, many, , yea, hundreds of thousands have fought, bled and died, fully realizing. ’ “without the shedding of blood there is no remission.” I was awfully shocked to read of: the death of Rev. L. A. Patrick-. An-: other bright star passes. Don’t ever begin anything that is, big and worth while feeling that yon. will be left to your own thought and planning. Fourteen million people sent advice to the United States' Arms delegation. Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, generally talks with his mouth open.
