Bishop Sims earns $6,800 a year, rules his flocks with liberality, as contrasted with most African Methodist bishops, who generally disapprove of dancing and fun-making. But he is a disciplinarian, was quick last week to suspend the presiding elder of his Philadelphia district when he learned that that black Methodist had brawled with another clergyman, shouting "I'm the fighting cock of the Main Line, and everybody knows it."
