ZION UNIFICATION REPORT. 1927 PITTSBURG, PA., July 8—Following up article last week regarding unification of the A. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches into the proposed new organization of the United Methodist Episcopal Church we now come to the thing that usually is a great stumbling block in the merging of most institutions. Because of the long existence of both churches they have naturally developed their own individual internal political machinery. Herein lies the big obstacle which the members of the organ commission sought with open mindedness to lay before the churches in a manner which makes ample provisions that should make it easy for the consummation of the proposed plan. The question of who shall fill the offices has been worked out and on the surface appears exceedingly practical. The report calls for 9 Episcopal districts. The general officers and departments they fill follows: Departments and Officers The Department of Finance will have one secretary; as will the departments of Education, Foreign Missions; Auxiliary Foreign Missions; Home Mission, Auxiliary Home Missions; Church Extension. The publication department will have three managers. One located in Philadelphia, another in Charlotte N. C. and a third in Nashville, Tenn Officers for the Department of Church Sunday School and Social Service Endeavors to be as follows: (a) director of Surday Schools; (b) director of Christian Endeavor; (c) editor of Church School Literature. The department of Ministerial Relief and Pension is to have a secretary. The department of Publications to have an editor of Christian Recorder, at Philadelphia, Pa.; editor of the Star of Zion at Charlotte, N. C.; editor of the Southwestern Herald at New Orleans, La., or Dallas, Tex.; editor of United M. E. Quarterly Review; editor of Church School Herald to be elected by the Board of Missions. The Department of History and Statistics to be headed by an Historographer. The commission recommends that representatives of the present A. M. E. Zion churches be allotted an equal number of recommendations of general officers to be elected for the first eight years of the new United Methodist Episcopal Church at the first General Conference of the proposed organization and at the end of that time the candidates stand on their own merits.

Five Cents Per Copy VOODOO DOCTOR NABBED FOR U.S. MAIL FRAUD (Freton News Service) ST. LOUIS, July 7—The distinguished (7) "Dri." Samuel Kojoe Pearce, who, post office inspector claim, has victimized thousands of men and women in many states by selling them "charma" by mail, was indicated Wednesday of last week by the Federal Grand Jury on a charge of using the mails to defraud. It is said that Pearce posed as the West African Remedy Co., the Pearce Health Institute, the Oriental Institute of Science. He is said to have done a thrivin gubusiness from his home in this city. The large volume of mail coming to him attracted the attention of the postal authorities and an investigation was begun over a year ago resulting Pearce's arrest and subsequent indictment. His stock in trade is itemized in the indictment as consisting of: Tic-'Em-Down Powder, "guaranteed to keep your husband home, except in aggravated cases," price $25. for 25 powders.

Although Jesus had the power of life and death, he exercised this supreme power only three times—in the cases of Lazarus, the son of the widow, and the daughter of Jairus. 2. In each case it was exercised in the realm of family life—a sister receives a brother back from death; a mother a son, a father a daughter. 3. The ground in each case for action was faith. 4. Faith is the fundamental necessity for life—Faith in ourselves, faith in others, faith in God, self. 5. One must have faith in himself to know that he can move God him. 6. In exercising faith in others, we may often be deceived, but it is better to be deceived often than to fall short of real faith where it is deserved. 7. Without faith in a friendly God back of the universe, our lives are sure to be embittered. 8. This miracle of raising of the daughter of Jairus teaches the necessity of an optimistic attitude to ward life. 9. Here we have a two-fold ground of optimism—that things are not as bad as we suppose, and that there are (Continued on page four) Improved Uniform International Sunday School Lesson (BS REV, P. B FITZWATER, DD, Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) © 1971 Western Newspaper Union LESSON TEXT—I Samuel, Chap 12. GOLDEN TEXT—Thy loving kindness is before mine eyes and I have walked in Thy truth PRIMARY TOPIC - Samuel the Faithful Servant. JUNIOR TOPIC-An Old Man's Advice INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How to Make a Clean Record YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Righteousness in Public Life. Samuel means "asked of God" God gave him in answer to his mother's prayer. She promised to give him back to God. In his early childhood his mother cared for and taught him. At an early age she handed him over to the care of HIL to minister unto the Lord In the Tabernacle While he was thus engaged God called him. He responded to this call and spent a long life in useful service to God' and his nation as judge and prophet. Our lesson today is his farewell address. I. Samuel's Challenge to the People (v. 1.5). 1. Reminder of the way the king had been given (v 1). He showed that they were directly responsible for the change in government. Though keenly feeling the reflection upon himself, and their in gratitude to God in their demand for a king, he had not resisted their wish 2. Review of his own administration (v. 2, 3). (1) Walk from childhood (v. 2) Samuel's was a remarkable life; from childhood to old age he had lived an upright and pure life. (2) Career as judge and ruler (v. 3). He boldly challenged them to show where and how he had even in the smallest matters defrauded or oppressed anyone. 3. The vote of confidence by the people (vv. 4, 5). It was Samuel's right as he laid down the rels of government to have his record vindicated and to have his integrity established beyond a doubt so that no evil minded man could ever be able to cast reproach upon him. II. Samuel Reviews God's Dealing From the Time of Moses (vv. 615) He reasoned with them concerning the good and of the Lord upon them from it to a Moses. Though they with his trust tended from the Lord and demanded like the other nations, He had a needed to their request and set a king over them. I. National prosperity conditioned by obedience (vv. 14). Though they had displensed God in choosing a king, if they would fear the Lord and render obedience, national prosperity would still be given. Would that the nations today could see that obedience to God is the only way to prosperity! Nations should find out God's will and then bring themselves into harmony therewith God's law must be obeyed by the rulers as well as the subjects. 2. Disobedience to God meant the nation's rule (v. 15). It is fully to ask God's blessing upon a nation while it is living in rebellion against Him. True statesmanship is to find out God's will concerning the nation and so direct that in all its laws and customs there may be harmony with that will. III. Samuel's Own Vindication (vv 10-19). This was such a critical hour in the history of the nation that Samuel sought to indelibly impress its mean- ing on their hearts. This he did by means of the thunder and rain out of season. Harvest time was not the season for thunder and rain, so when it came at the call of Samuel the people were affrighted. This saw it as an example of God's mighty power which, if directed against them would destroy them in an instant. IV. Samuel's Gracious Responses (vv. 2025). 1. "I hear not—serve the Lord with all your heart" (vv. 2022). Samuel did not minimize their sin but assured them that if they would serve the Lord wholesomefully they would not forsake them. The ground of their hope was in the faithfulness of God in keeping His covenant "For His name's sake" shows that God's honor is at stake. "God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you" (v. 23). Though the people had rejected Samuel, yet he had such magnanimity of soul that he has not allowed their ingratitude to stop his intercession for them. Such failure he regarded as sin for himself. He assured them that in spite of their sin their one concern should be to find the Lord and serve Him wholesomely. Be Ready to Act Doors are opening or closing all the time in life, and what they will do for you depends on the way you grasp or fail to grasp the opportunities that come to you. Be watchful; be ready to act. Malibu D. Babcock.
