LOUISVILLE CITIZENS READY FOR A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE DELEGATES DR. WILLIAMS AND MEMBERS FINISH WORK (By George H. Mays) Possibly no other task in the life of real servant of God so taxes, so brings out and truly magnifies the qualities of real pastoring in the work of the Master, as is true in the tremenduos responsibilities laid upon the church and its pastor charged with arranging the many details and solving the vexacious problems connected with putting over successfully the great General Conference of the A. M. E. Church.
This is most certainly being done by Dr. Noah Williams and his faithful congregation. Never before in the history of our group in this city has a church and its pastor been confronted with such a big task as arranging to comfortably place such a large number of outstanding churchmen, but Dr. Williams is now engaged in putting on the finishing touches to this most important job. Many other local and national problems connected with this great body of God's Elect have been fully worked out and ready for the minute inspection of those charged with the general oversight of the Conference which convenes here in May.
Every state delegate including the West Indies and Bermuda with the exception of Africa and 3 other state delegations has been fully placed. These delegations consist of many strong and national laymen. Among them is that noteworthy Christian gentleman, leader of the laymen, Mr. Aaron Malone of Poro Fame. He has for the past few days been in the city on conference business and so impressed was he with every detail, as masterly arranged by Dr. Williams that he arranged for complete Kard-X filling system and 750 Tablet leaf chairs to be used by the various Conference Executive Committees. Mr. and Mrs. Malone are noted the world over for their many great deeds done for the extension of God's Kingdom here on earth.
Major J. H. Ward of Indianapolis, Ind., recently appointed surgeon in chief at the Beterans' Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Ala., John D. Avery, President of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co., Durham, N. C., Atty. Blakemore, Denver, Colorado, Dr. Robert E. Burt, Clarksville, Tenn., Prof. G. W. Saffell, Shelbyville, Ky., Dr. E. E. Underwood, Frankfort, Ky., and Dr. A. D. Byas, Memphis, Tenn., are some of the other strong laymen with high Christian devotion and character, who will be in the various state delegations.
Bishop W. D. Johnson, Chairman of the Program Committee will reach the city next Wednesday. Also Dr. John R. Hawkins, Secretary Finance Committee.
In connection with the coming of these famous dignitaries, Dr. Williams is arranging one of the largest Mass Meetings ever held in dear old Quinn. This meeting will be held Wednesday night the 16th at 8 o'clock. Already it is evident from the interest being manifested that those planning to attend will have to come early if they want good seats.
Dr. Williams has proven to even the most critical, by his high and untarnished Christian character, his powerful preaching and masterly pastoring, that he deserves and will get the solid backing of all the vital delegations.
Louisville, irrespective of church denominations, is supporting him to the last ditch. It is freely predicted by those in a position to know that he will receive the largest vote of any candidate that has ever run for the great office of Secretary of Missions.
