The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1889-06-22
St. James "A. MI. e. Church.

The object Of these notes is simply to
give news, social and religious; sermons
will be delivered from the pulpit, per-
sonal matters discussed in private, and
announcements of entertainments will
appear us advertisements.
We thus definately state the limits
within which we shall keep because we
deplore the habit of insinuating un-
pleasant things either from the pulpit or
through the paper; we believe that an
honorable, Straight forward course will
always commend itself and that it's
virtue will shine out resplendant
through all the petty little tricks that
lll-mannered. persons may employ to
misrepresent.
Let us all learn to be brave and manly
and above 5nean, sneaking practices, the
honorable man is the only one who has
permanent success.
A committee was engaged until ten
minutes to twelve Saturday night trying
brother who was accused of making
false statements about measures
adopted in the board, he was found
guilty and severely censured.
Persons to whom we would ALWAYS
look for nothing but the truth have
said, 1.-The people out at st. James are so
high toned that they don't want Or
binary folks to join with them," now
that and all such remarks are false.
while we proudly admit that our
moral and religious standards are high
and that we do not encourage nor per-
NIT if we know it any of our members
to live contrary to our rules, and while
we do not NEEDLE with others, vet
all know that our treatment of all have
been such that the greatest revival ever
in Colored church in this state was at
st. James when one hundred persons
were converted.
All who truly and earnestly re-
pent of their sins and try to
lead new life are most cordially well
coined, we will love them and help them
as long as they have a spirit to so con-
tinue, but we will not compromise with
evil, a church should be an ornament to
a community and light to the world.
But where will you see finer congrega.
ton than assembled Sabbath morning
at st. James. The congregation was as
It ever is. one of the grandest. Prof.
Coleman rendered solo; be has bass
voice of good volume. The choir each
week grows better, so much for the in
struction of Prof. Luca and his regular
rehearsals.
ST. James choir will probably supply
the music at one of the Sabbath services
at the Milwaukee conference. Mrs.
Kelly, Of Nashville united with the
church on probation; she is an old men,
Der; but had not brought her letter; we
gladly welcomed her for we have many
grand members from Nashville. Mr..
Clarence Washington joined by letter
from Bethel church, Detroit; he comes
highly recommended.
Next Sabbath is quarterly meeting.
Don't miss the afternoon services; it is
the closing quarter and a glorious time
SIS anticipated. Rev. Williamson, the
new Minneapolis pastor, will preach,
Rev. knight will preach and preside.
Come. let as all give him hearty well
come; his district is in the lead.
Thirty-eight were present Monday
night; Brother r. Taylor was recon-
mended for local licence by vote of SO
yea and two nay; brother Joshua Davis,
by of 10 yea and IS nay.
Rev. Henderson will deliver the an
nual masonic sermon Sunday. 1t will
probably be at night.
