My Impression Of The.
National Baptist Convention

REV. J. CARL MITCHELL.
PASTOR OF THE SIXTEENTH
STREET BAPTIST CHURCH
HUNTINGTON, WEST VA.

For a number of years,:I have
attended the. National Baptist Convention and have followed very
carefully all of the meetings. With
few exceptions the meeting at
Cleveland, Ohio was one among the
best ~as to representation and attendance. Anyone could have easily predicted the outcome of the
election from the very first day of
the session. It was Dr. Jemison all
the way. It was impossible for any
aspirant~ for the presidency to have
excelled President Jemison when he
had five hundred delegates from
Alabama, his own state, in his vest
pocket. No other contestant for the
office of president could boast. of
So many votes from his own state.

During the campaign, it was
Stated that Dr. Jemison; because of
his location in: the South, would be
unable to speak up with candor for
the welfare of four million Baptist.
This very contention was refuted
by his Annual address which was a
masterpiece, and dealt with all of
the vital problems confronting the
Negro Race. It was admitted by critics that he struck (the bull~s eye),
so that those who were opposed to
him on this score were compelled
to admit that he had taken: care of
this one question of doubt. There
ware those who felt that he would
~be unable to match the eloquence

-~ ind the scholarly approach in ser
)

mon Building and Deliverance that
would appeal to the masses of Baptist throughout the country. This
contention melted away, as snow
before~ a noon day suh, when Dr.
Jemison in his masterly way swept
~the audience into spiritual ecstasy
Sunday morning.

The auditorium was not full as
was customary in previous years,
when the late President delivered
his. message, but the critics. were

quick -to-admit: that another year

would find any auditorium filled to
the: capacity to hear Dr. Jemison
deliver his annual sermon. with
power, inspiration and thoughtfulness.

It cannot be said that he went
into office without opposition for
there was a Strong militant group
at work in opposition to him and
the program of the National Baptist Convention. This same force

will continuously be felt in the convention, and the administration
might do well, to consider their
contention. The convention as such
is not what many of its members
desired to be, but it is the best that
we can do under the set up.

For the first time the writer |
heard political prayers and contest |
prayers. Such a thing is, a disgrace to the denomination. God |
hears the sincere and earnest prayers, but he fails to hear those who
pray to be seen or heard. When we
convert our prayers~ into political
speeches and display of words in
order to gain plaudits of the public, we destroy the sacredness of the
prayer offered. Any casual observer
would have. recognized this very
thing in many of the prayers offered, The program could have been
more informative and réepresentative of the Great Church. Whatever corrections that should be
made,.ought to come from within
the organization: Only time brings
about such changes as may be
needed for the improvement of the
greatest numerical body of Negroes
in the world.

With all the short comings. that
may be found in our Convention,
it is still a great and powerful convention. We wish to congratulate
Dr. L. A. Pinkston of Georgia for
his masterly way of presiding over
the great body during the election |
of officers. He was completely in
possession of the house at all times
and ruled with. precision that even.
both sides credited him with being
fair in his ruling. We predict. for
him a great future in the denomination. Next year we go to Memphis in the heart of the South, only
a few miles from Alabama. We can
say here that Dr. Jemison: will be
elected again, for it is impossible
to over come numbers. The numerical strength of our convention is inthe South, and as long as the
South wants the presidency, ~she
can have it, if the election is on
the basis. of votes.
