Bishop D. A. Payne became a prophet, because he heard from
him, and his time was short, as in a few days after he
received an appointment to Albany, N. Y., and was returned
the following year on account of effective service done. At
the following conference he was elected as delegate to the
General Conference at St. Louis with Rev. W. F. Dickerson,
John F. Thomas and C. T. Shaffer. On his return from the
conference he was transferred to N. J. Conference and

considered an exceptionally good superintendent of the
Sabbath school before he was a member of the church. It was
during the time that he was a local preacher at this church
that he learned the lesson of his life. "I had a fair
smattering of an education and, being in business, I was
always consulted in the affairs of the church."

It becomes more and more evident every day of our existence, as
individuals, and as a race, that a grave mistake has been made by
those who have heretofore, or may be now, making claim to leadership
of making higher education the main and only route to the full
development of the race. The higher education is in the order of
specials. It is true that we need the artistic structure, but we need
first a foundation upon which to rest it. We seem to have started with
the idea that the structure has already been laid, whic
