Bethel AME Church stretched out its arms in aid to Bishop Hubert N. Robinson of Detroit, soon to depai’t for an African mission, during a program and x’cception Suxxday afternoon. Bishop Robinson received spiritual and financial aid to help with his 18th Episcopal District in Africa due to the joint effox’ts of the AME confereixce and the ministers in the Indiana AME conference and the missionary societies. After his provocative talk, Bishop Robinson joined an estimated ci'owd of over 400 worshippers for a social hour in his honor given by two of his first cousins, Mrs. Blanche Cross and Mrs. Ruth C. Liggins of Indianapolis. Assisting the pair were Mmes. Gladys Butler, Gladys Miner, and Pearl Willis, Miss Anna Stout x:nd Miss Fiances Stout. The program was sponsored by the Indiana preachers and missionary ladies of the AME churches. Among dignitaries present were Dr. H. D. Saunders of New Albany, presiding elder of the south district, and Di-. J. Allen Parker of Gary, presiding elder of the north district. Othex - representatives were from Frankfort, Plainfield. Richmond, Kokomo, and other point >. Preceding Bishop Robinson’s thought provoking speech. Mrs. Beatrice Davis of Bethel sang his favorite hymn. Mrs. Davis was a member of Bishop Robinson’s church in Columbus, Ohio. The missionary ladies of the Indiana AME’ Conference x*esponded in attendance beautifully and sat in a body. Bethel missionary officers serving included Mrs. Gladys Butle., pxesident; Miss Frances Stout, 1st vice-president, and Mrs. Katherine Brown, 2nd vice-president. Repxesentatives included Mmes. Clara Phillips, Indiana Fedei’ation of Colox-ed Women’s Clubs 1st vice-president; Margaret J. Goodrich of the local CME missionary society and treasurer the Cincinnati annual conference of the CME Church, and officials of other key women missionary groups. In his sermon with the theme, “Why I Am Going to Africa?” he told how through prayer he became dedicated to the work which God had directed him. He related that the struggling natives in 18th Ecis-

copal District of Smitzerland, Rasutoland, Bechuanaland and Mazambique in south eastern Africa are truly fighting for their existence. He noted that only five percent of the natives can speak a word of English. The other 95 percent speak a native brogue, therefore, outsiders must have an interpreter with them at all times to communicate with the inhabitants. He continued: “These people need guidance, help, sympathy, love and a belief and knowledge and trust in the power of God. “Although these Negroes are being pushed back fi’om their villages into the woods by the white race, they are still trying to help themselves. They have a climate like ours and the winters are often quite cold. They have learned to take cow manure and with the aid of other natural substances, make a kind of brick which they use to build their places to live and worship in. “There is a lack of proper xood and water which makes a health problem. Educational facilities are very poor. Teachers are paid £22 per montn and of course are haxd to get.’’ Bishop Robinson will take a registered nurse and with the help of others will plan a health center. While the missionary members marched, the audience sang “Onward Christian Soldiexs.” The Richmorrd choir sang during the program.
