From Bethel A. M. E. Church. t
We the,pastor ami members of this a
church wish to thank our good peo- a
pie from the depth of our hearts for 1<
helping us to entertain the annual 0
conference so royally and hospitably
the past week. We had over one ^
hundred and fifty ministers to en- f
tertain an.! every one went off well 0
pleased with his treatment. It was a
said by the bishop ami others that ^
it was the best conference that was
ever held in the state. During the ?
conference $13,946.15 were raised for ^
our school, Allen University and
church purpose. J
Sunday morning the ordination *
sermon was preached by Dr. K. C.
Rarnson of New York. More than (
thirty preachers were ordained to go s
out into the world and preach the t
gospel. Dr. Ramson is one of the ^
best orators of his race. v
Bishop Chappelle was very much a
impressed with the good people of t
Kingstree. He said he had never
seen a beter lot of people anywhere, j
and that he had never heard a bet- b
terf speech made by a mayor thart what t
he heard by Mayor Scott on la.-t c
Wednesday night. It was very point- a
ed and instructive. I
We pray God's blessings upon the n
good people of Kingstree that they ?
will continue to work for the church '
and for the up-building of Christ's jj
kingdom. 1
