CHANGES Because of a jiousing project, our church in Brooklyn has peen sold, The two mortgages satisfied, and the remaining One Thousand Dollars turned over to the St. John’s Church, which is the only remainink church OG the charge. The B~*ooklynCircuit mill be known hereafter as-The St. John’s Charge. DEATHS On the 20th of October Sister Rnrah R. Rohinson, beloved wife of ’ Rro. Rutherford R. Robimon, our pastor at hisby, departed this life in great peace, she w%q biiried in Mt,. Auburn Cemetery. Also Sister Frances Johnson beloved wife of Bro. FT. A. Johnson-Retircd, Pasged to the great beyond, and WRB burried nt Magothy. DEACONESS GAITFIER Too much cannot be said in praise to Mrs. Gaither for her untiring efforts on our District, and for her achievements as cliairman of the E- vangelistic Campaign and planning Committee in .Baltimore. Sister Gaither notwithstanding her years of faithful service is get capahle of large achievements. CONFERENCE CTJAIMANTS Because of the number of ministers wvho are retiring this year, and cf those who must soon retire iinder the new law, the District Superin- tendent has insisted tht every pastor pay his apportionnient for Confer- ence Claimqnts in fiill. We believe that at least 95 per cent of our pastors will respond. MfNISTER’S WTVES ASSOCIATTON Perhaps the most oufstnnding organimtion on OUT District is, the BGnisters’ Wives Association. Those good women through sacrifice and self-denial have succeeded marvelously in their eRorts to augmcnt the meager salary paid to the retired preacher, his midoy and orphaned cliil- dren. It is the prayer of the District Superintendent and of his wife, ~I.O5s the president of the Organization-tlixt God may prosper their Inhors in the future, as he has cTone in the past.

REPORT OF THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

(1'; OF THE WASHINGTON DISTRICT *.-I, Nay, 1943. Bishop Slie~v, nnd inenibers of the 'CVasliington Conference, I am indeed grateful to be able to present this, niy first report, to you at thi$ conference. Having been iippointed by you one year ago, succeecling ,the Rev. John H. Peters, ~110is now pastor of our very fine eliiirch, Ebenezer, ' .! \17:~sliington,D. C. We coine togetlier today under strange and pecdiar conditioiis. The world is at war and far away across ,the seas, far away around the \vorld, our sons and brothers and fatliers are fighting the I, battles of the world. For what? God only knows tlie reason, and the causes. They ere legion. They are so conflicting and confusing until it is very diflicult to d&nnine which is riglit. Russia hits a reason, Eng- Innil Iins it reason, Prnlice ]ins a reason, ond me Iiave it reasoii. So, liere we are in the midst of this great conflict and the battle fronts itre raging; nien and momen and cliildren are dying and cities are being de\mst&d; poverty, disease and death reign suprenie in many countries. We pray for t!iose wvlio %rein tlie midst of such a terrible struggle and that our nicrci- ful God will bring things right. There is another front that we are onlled upon to defend and protect. It is the home front in the name of the Church of Jesus Clirist, and it must be defended by ,the soldiers of the Kingdom of God. In this we must not fail, falter nor fell. V7e innst carry on mltil tlw* time when we are able to bcat tho iniplimedts of war into plow shares and pronixig kook nnd learn war no more. I want to present to you ii segineiit of tlie Icing- dom of God in wvliich are soldiers brave and true, who llavc not faltered, fniled, nor fallen; but have carried on in a. fii~way to maintain and Ifpep rstablished on the ~7asliingtonDistrict, the ISingdom of God. I present to you forty one (41) ministers of tlic Gospel. Please Stand. I present to you over 8,000 laymen wvlio have stood by these men of God to help them pre;l$ tlie gospel; pay church debts; raise benevo- lences, save sinners and bring people back-to God; to raise the fdlen, to cheer the faint, heal the sick, lead tlie blind and to help those to bear their sorro\vs in these trying &Qs. Having wroug1:llt so well the men of 8:' i-

THE DISTRTCT - The \Vasliin,T% District is situated in n strntegir position, at tlie Iiub of tlie nation; nroltnd \vliir~i swirls an crcr moving liee el nnd from Washington all the world is hched. people linve come lo iic: from every 'where. The population ]ins doul)lea itself. We were- once n fixed group; I,nt now we are a inoving, Iiustling, josliling, riisliing people. The prob- lem is great. Tlie people must be roralleil, the gospel must he preached to t!ieni. Our chnrches are crowded. The gospel must be pi cached to them with such effect that whether they reinnin liere or retnrn to their homes they will be snved to the kingdom of God. From all owr the distrkt, the people are being employed by the government. Nnny of OW pkstors and wives are nlso eniployed in tlie government, in order that the ~ftr effort mill be stepped up. Tlie government is now offering large salaries ir. order that the ninnufnctiire of ma; mntcrinl will Bc procluced. OUT POSTS At the request of our Bishop n meeting wns held at El~enezer3letliocl- ist Church, Washington, D.

'l'lie program wan es- plained by Bishop Shaw and the tliree large cliurclics were selected to fnster this movement, by way of conducting Clinrcli Scliools which ivoiild iiltimately result in tlie estnblisliing of new cliiirclies. Asbiiry, Elienezer, nnd AIk. Zion were selected to tnke the initiative in this rITort.. I desire) to report that these cliurches and the pastors are cnopcrnting in this movement to establish tliese Out Posts. TITI3 DISTRICT CONFERENCE , Our District Conference was held in Laytonsville, Md., at Brook Grove Methodist Cliurch, Rev. E. A. Moore, the en,tertaining pnstor. The peo- ple and pastor gave us a royal time even though ratloning was on. We had all the sugar and cofl'ee we mmted. Tlie conference sessions mefe iyell attended. We miss the presence of our Bishop, but we believe Iiis.spirit TV~Rwith us. A wonderful spirit prevailed tlirougliouL the conference. Our aims for tlie' year were presented: Increase in membereliip; conver- sions in every church; pay old debts; all clniins raised in fnll. I-Iave some one to join your cliurcli every Sunday. Every orgmization in the church operating. I am quite confident, ns I have received the report that our aims 11ave been carried out. THE WOmN'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE - This society, the youngest child in tlie clinrcli is working well itn tile district and -the local cliurcli.

THE CHURCH SCHOOL ‘ We must not allow nnyt.hing to take the plcice of the Church School; Tt is still the nucleus of ii church xnd the crowning of .the Kingdom of God. Here the child learns about God and sets the exaniple for the youth and adult. Recause‘of the young inen heiiig called to the army in some of our rural SC~~OO~S,IVC liave lid to elect a supcrintcndent each quarter.

These schools have been both help- ful and inspiring. LAY ACl!IT7ITIES Our district ltxy leader, Ah. Janies A, Campldl, cnnduoted two in- teresting programs this year. One at the District Conferencc and the other at Simpson 3fctlioilist during the week of Dedication.

I tnkc this iiionient to ciill your attention to :II: article in the Cliristinn Advocate, Central Edition, as of Bel~ruary 11, 1943 j “Taking Race Rclations Sunday Offering Serionsly”, by Bishop Shaw. If you Iiavc not rend the article, yon oiiglit to read it. It is for the ~vliolechurch. There are five other jurisdictions beside the Central .Turisdiction; they raised for this fund, $lS,2SS.26 and the Central Juris-‘ diction ,done, raised $1!),307.22, if this is to continuc, we oiiglit to go back to Lincoln Day.

Tt WIS presented with ability by Rev. Kenneth P. Barnes: Rev. Richard H. Jolmson, Rev, Eugene Williams and Rev. Cliarles E. Hodges. In Washington, a Union Methodist, Evingelistic Campaign was con- ducted in January 3-31, 1943, by the Methodist TTnion Preachers’ Meet- ing. Thirtrsix ( 30) BIetliodist clmrches united in this revival. The churches \\‘ere grouped in the Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Sottth- east. The slogan was “Spreading Scriptural Holiness for Victory and Peace”. This effort gave to the city the ideal t,hat tlic dcnoinination could unite in a joint service for the Lord.

MINISTERS’ WIVES ASSOCIATIONS It goes without s?ying that this organization is doing a fine won< in helping to augment the inoney raised for pensions and relief.

Bishop Shnw, we want to thank you for yoiir leadership in this under. taking and may you live a long time to mnkc people happy. God sent you to 11s in such a time as’ this, God bless yon. FINAL ~~ORD Bishop, I have kept before th,e members of the Disti3c.t the progress of the church. I have received excellent coopc.ration. So niucli so, tlint every charge will report sonic accession to the clliircli : niany i~illreport con~wsions;wolrd service will be in tlie advnnce; sonic vi11 show 10 per cent increase; with a few esceptions evel*y chni-ge will rcliort all claims in full. Salaries haw been increased; mortgnges burnt,; with others to he burnt and sonic of the pastoh have gotten married. Would you indulge me jnst in this, that 1 might sny just a word about these soldiers of the cross who direct the work at these charges. Again, may I tlinnk the pastors and lnymen for their hcmty co- operation in carrying on the ~orliof the program of the church. In these war days it is wonderful to see how you are holding the line. We pray for the men w110 are called into’ the nrnied forces of the nation; that they may be sustained by the grace of God in the ordcnl through idgich they are now passing, and we pray for those mho must give i111 their sons and fathers, and husbands and relations to serve the nation. m7e pray that peace mill soon come and iiien and nations w,ill beat their im- pliments of Tar into plow sliares and prunning hoolts and learn war no more. Bishop, may I say how pleased we are to have you, lint only a8 our presiding Bishop, but as our resident Bishop. Sou have inspired us iii many mays; living among us, we desire a long and continuation of your presence and influence. Let us not forget that this is ‘(My Father’s R70rid.” Yours sincerely, Charles S. Briggs. .I of ihe METIIODISTCHURCH

THE STATE OF THR CHURCH While the teachings and practices of civilization seem to be nullified hy tlie Jarbariq indulgence of warring nations, the tenets of tlic cliurcl\ point out tlie may to tliose wlio seek tlic only safe course for human con- tinuance. Undaunted by those who would oppress, enslave, and exterminate a Iwlpless minority, tlie cliurcli demands jiistice and fair play even for the. most unfortunate of every race, creed or color. With delight we take cognizance of tlie gradual return of many to the influence of fellowsliifi . of the church' even on special days.

STATE OB THE COUNTRY When the Citadel of Freedom is threatened as never before in tlie Idstory of mankind, we look well to the stabjliziiig of lier Lulwarks and pray ever that slie reinaiii as the indestriic tible heritage of Iiuinanity., God willed it so wlieii lie made inaii his ovvii free agent giving to no man or race the priority over another inan or race, nor tlie Mastership of any inan race. liiw, however, tlirougli tlie ages made this Divhd or Man ' Law a matter of record but not a Iiabit of practice, tlie results of wlihh have in this generation culminated according to Slioghi Effendi, -in a tempest unprecedented in its violence, unpredictable in its course, cata- strophic in its immediate effects, unimaginably glorious in its ultimate consequences, is ultimate consequences, is a't present sweeping the face of thp earth. Its driving power is remorslessly gaining in range and mo- mentum. Its cleansing force, however, niiicli nndetected is inereaping with every passing Hiiinanity gripped in the clutches of its devastar ting power is smitten by tlie evidences of its resistless fury. It can neither perceive its origin nor probe its significance, nor discern its out- come. Bewildered, organized and helpless it watches tlie great and mighty wind of God, invading tlie remotest and fairest regions of the earth, rock- ing its foundations, deranging its equilibrium, sundering its Nations, dis- riipting the homes of its peoples, wasting its cities, driving into Exile its kings, pulling down its bulwarks, uprooting its institutions, dimming its lights and harrowing up the souls of its inhabitants. D7ith this picture before ua it seem3 strikingly strange that men mould stand and ask why this tornado of humin destruction; when the answer is found in the non- .- i

compliance of the Golden Rule, “tlicrefore a11 things wliatsoevel: ye wodd that men should do unto yon do you eVen so to tlieni.” P Had this been tlie main course on the Peace Tablc at tlic Treaty of Versailles after World War No. 1, we would not be plaeed with World War No. 2 with all of its devastating evils: Rut the Victor’rcasoned that the victims were not deserving of mercy hut should pay the utmost farth- I- ing. Hate and bitterness smoldered in,the preast of tlie coiiqueror, whicli t 1 in turn generated greater liate in tlic hreitst of the victim, by virtue of his defeat aiid subsequent suffering. 1: wonder in this nearly 25 years lias mankind ‘learned tlie lessoii ivliat true freedoill is, since lie is greatl; ’ concerned about its priceless valiie. Is Iic willing to pay tlic pcice for it:/ Freedoin is a grcat thing lo liavc and to Iiecp. It malccs 11:~pl)~:homes. Freedoin used and not ahu used insures progress in every waUi of Ilfe. N$[. man \vho lionors thc Golden Rule fails to enjoy tlie einoluiiicnts of tlie freedom of tlic soul, the mind, and tlie body, for no such man seelcs tlic discomfort, tlie displeasure, nor tlic ensli~vcmelitof his fellow brother. It is the fate of ivay\vard ;tiid indifferent :uid pleasurc loving peoples to for- feit their riglits and liberties to designing lcadcrs 1~110usually identif)’ . their own ambitions wit11 the gcneriil wcll-being. In fact freedom demands so iniic~i~carc and vigiIiincc that mankind is frcqucntly unwilling to pa>‘ the price for it. Milton spealis of it in the. manncr of the artist when he says “Unless Uiat liberty which is of tlic’kind that nrms Can neither procure nor take away wliicli, is tlie food of, piety, justice, temperance and unadulterated morals sliall strilic its roots into yoiir minds and heart i there will not long. bc wanting those who will snatcli it from you hy t rcschery.” The manncr on ivliicli frceilom feeds must be gathercd liy cacli suc- ceeding generation or it becomes rotten. Only by uninterrupted strife can the Church or Nation bc kept so stcadfiist and alert tl!at their lilier-, - ties cannot be sniotliered by backslider^, faclionists, corriiptionists, and lovers of lucre or arbitrary poivcr. In tlie words of Daniel Webstei*, “God grants liberty to those whc; love it aiid are ever ready to guard and defend it.” The world wears ii tragic aspect just nom for those who Iiave been content to rely uppn valued endeavors of tliesc lovers iind guardians of freedom’s memorable past. The rancid temper of spurious nationalism has rcvived in narly every land. Armanwnts arc inultiplicd greatly and adapted to. morc dcadly methods of conflict. Civil strife darkens the prokpccts of Clwisten- dom. Tlie tenacious retention of wealth is countered by widcsprcak greed * for its Rcqnisition. Capitalists and Industridist alike, tliillk in terms too rcstrictcd for 1tiUtUid benefit and coopcration. l’olitical conspiracies for increased pow- er and prolonged tenure are mnslied in Europe by pretentions for tlie gen- eral good. The impulses that produce war, men’tally show ‘few, signs of :ibatement. The Christian habit of life js often forsalcen :ind in conse-~ quence men are so confined to their natural resources thzt they cannot meet the souls actual requirements. The law of Christ that-we shall love , our enemies is simply abrogated. He intended law to s-mooth a path to a greater and permanent freedom for :ill ~vhoobey it. But it is either totally ignored or construed under nullified limitations. The severance Letween the militaristic. and pacifist mind is about complete. Diaciples of the prophets of Israel and tlie redeemer of the World who obey God rather. than man and ende:wor to release the Nations from the casual brutalities imposed upon tlieni by. arined conflict are derided and ridiciiletl to an extent wliicli recently arounsed the indignation of our President against men guilty of Scandal mongering. Yet to do othcr~viscthan speak peace to our troubled times would be equivalent to the assention that there is no intelligible nioral purpose in tlie human story. For if ever& form of civilization is of brief duration and pliysical violence in the strugj

n gle for survival is the sole alternative, it is the logic,zl conclusion that whatever gods may be, certai!ily they have no traffic wit11 us. We must carve out our own path. The very dead are invoked in behalf of the bomb and the bayonet which cut them off in their prime, yct I am con. vinced thnt could they speiil; both friend and foe alike WIIO IIOW rest to- gether. from F;mn’s cruelty and woe on the‘ baattle fields of Europe ahd Asin,’in Africa and in the Ocean’s depths they ~voulrlurge lis to seek peace and pursile it. The one question which Iins no equal in importance is this, are we prepitred to re-assert our freedoin, not only as citizens and iiiitions, but as beneficiaries of Western civilization, by niaking reasonabbh concessions and hy those actions which guarantce a new regiine of good will and coiirerted purpose; or sh;rll modern civilizttiwi; slip into the gulf because it will not pay the price for its preserv:ition? “As ye WVOII.I$ that men should do to you do yc cven so to them.” It. is infinitely mo9 ciifbxilt to abandon personal sin, Iiesottcd pride, ftishionable pursuit the gppetite for perishable things and the oredulity of cults of various de- grees of folly tlian it is to post attractive progains and make fine pro- fessions of pn’triotisni, not withstanding these things, w must not forget that neither our praise nor onr blame closes man’s case with his Father) God. Not my own fears nor yonrs nor even the dreainings of the pro- plietic souls citn dctci*iiiinc the future of the human racc. Thew is a Divine Justice and II Divine Law which consume our bare desires and transfprirl our souls. They must be rcckoned in thc entire process we are now dis- cussing, inorcover in man himself therc is an unconquerable mind incarnate from Isaiah to Christ and froin St. Augustine to Cardinal Merciec.. Tlieir residual greatness was lavishrd on civil and re1,igious libcrty. They with- stood the proud oppressions of their :I& and compelled autocratic govern- ments to emulate reltictnnt Pharonh and let God’s people go. Rowevhr hard driven inan may be Iic is n thinking being and his innatc dignity lies in liis conscionsness. ‘rhc absurdities :tnd terrors of life cannot quench that consciousness nny more than the cold silence of death. We hnve not wanted for freedom loving ginn’ts \vho, secnre in themselves smiled at the drawn sword and welcomed the stake. Nor shall we be left desolate in the days to come. Tkitcn to that voice- that summoned Abraham from plenteousness to pilgrimage, and Moses from a luxurious palace. to the solitude of the wilderness. It was heard centuries later on the Babylonian plains nnd centnriea later still on the hills of Galilee from the ~noutliol the Eon of God. It should be heard today by A generation which know more tlian it understands with the wisdom that gives \wiglit. It is the Voice of Faith and rertainty against that of fear and uncertdnty. There-. fore, all things, etc. Do we really want ‘true freedom after this gigantic ~lobalconflict is over? T%en let us each one free one’s self of every - malady that malces one abhor one’s fellow brother. This cannot be done withou4 the aid of a conscience void of offense toward God and man, and that Conscience reqnires the standardization of God’s ~vill, revealed by him to man.
