THE COMING OF
OUR LADY, 1921

The New Year is close at hand The
cartoonists and picture boys general
~ will represent 1921 as baby. but
we like to forecast it as a WOman-we
n,n't say beautiful woman, because
all women are beautiful.
We would like to see u typlfy
WomanhoOd for good and sufficient
reasons. One is that the coming year
would have 10 interest whatever in
war. or the things of war. This old
world has had its complete fill of dead
ly conflict during the decade, just
closed and if the Women could have
their way there'd be another on this
foOtStOOl of the Lord.
If 1927 were a Woman. the world
would see more religion and more OF
the good things that come out Of it, The
cynics and BOlShevistS and eXplOlters
of mankind generally may sneer all
they like at religion. but God in the
form we civilized people know Him,
or in some other form. has been com
fort and ii high inspiration to untold
billions of people in the past and He
will be again to untold billions in the
future The earth needs a great re-
yivai of religion in 1921.
If our New Year is anything like
Woman. we will see more cooperation
in the real things of life and much more
gentleness and human sympathy and
love in 1921 than for IL generation. The
vice Of hate has encircled the world
and inflicted its wounds on countless
hearts. Only human sympathy. kind
ness and love will heal the deadly
hurts that the human race has suf-
fered.
We repeat: lets typify the New
Year as Woman.

A great spiritual fervor prevailed
in Ebenezer on Sunday morning. DR..
Osborne preached n of the most
powerful and touching sermons we
have ever heard him preach. His
subject was my Fathers House. He
drew practical lessons from the sur
roundings of an earthly home, show.
ing just what it takes to make good
earthly homes. He then applied it
with power and effect to the Heaven
ly home. Eleven persons united with
the church and fourteen came for
ward for prayers. He preached a
short but effective sermon on Bread
Winning" at the evening service. The
services were then turned over to the
business men, Mr.. W. G. Mosley in
charge. Interesting talks on how to
make better business opportunities
for the race were given by Mr.. G. A..
Page, Sol. Smith, and S. D. Adkins.

BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH,

N thousand worshipped at Bethel
last Sunday. The Sunday school
was crowded with the brightest boys
and girls of the city. Prof. Moten
demonstrates the fact that he is a

children. You ought to visit Bethel's

would inspire you. LAT IL o'clock

Elder, preached an excellent sermon
to a large and appreciative crowd. e..
At 8 o'clock Rev. j. w. S. Lowe took
us to eHaven in an imaginative char
lot which we enjoyed to the highest.
....At 6 o'clock the A. c. E. League,
lead by that princely young man,
Brother Irving Smith, held an inter
esting session. To say a large crowd
was present is mildly stating it. ...
At s o'clock Rev. P. w. DeLyles
again took us on the Heavenly jour
ney and made us see the beautiful
city with its gates standing ajar and
the Father welcoming us home. You
ought to have been there. Many
united with the church. If o want
a seat at Bethel you will have to
come early because the crowd gathers
at the church before the hour of serv-
ice. DR.. Dawson is preaching with a
new gift these days. You ought to
hear him. Hear his sermon Sunday
on the New Birth. On Friday
night last the members gave to our
halOVpd nastor and hiS nharnoing mifa
a surprise party. They reached the
parsonage at 1890 each one bearing
a package and oh, how our pastor
did smile and asked the parties to
come back next week. After spend
ing a few moments in singing and
merry-making each one quietly pass
ed out. Rev. and Mrs. Dawson thank
ed them and bid them God speed....
Sunday evening at 6 o'clock the B.

annual report will show their best
Missionary The Brotherhood
had a good meeting Thursday night.
The program for Thursday night, De-
cember 16 will be special as the last
meeting of the year....The attend
nee at all services went over the
high water" mark. 1t was Christian
Education Rally Day. The church has
pledged twelve hundred dollars for
Christian education and made a fine
showing in paying the first Install
ment. The Bible School is leading
with a growing attendance and sin
cere work on the part of all. Mrs.
Alphin was moi able to serve us at
IL o'clock and the minister was forced
into service. Some of the choir mem
bers were tardy but the few held the
fort until reinforcement came and
business truly picked up. The
monthly official meeting of the Off
GERS of the church and heads of all
departments was we'll attended and
reports showed in all respects the
best condition of the affairs of the
church. They are at work on the
annual report. 80. The C. E. Society is
rendering its best programs and in
.creasing its attendance. The First
Sunday in December went down on
the right side of the ledger and We
hope, indicates the entire month will
be so placed; if so 1920 will go in his
tory as the best years service of the
church. e. The Educational Rally will
continue next Sunday. The minister
will discuss Jesus and the Story of
Jonah" at both services for the pur-
pose of information and modern les
sons. -. Strangers and visitors vel
come.

DR.. DELYLE A PREACHER.

DR.. P. H. DeLyle, the new presid-
ing elder of the Kansas City district
of the A, M. E. church is not only a
great preacher but in the language OF
my very dear Southern friends he is
both "a gully-washer and a trash.
burner" If you wan to know what
that mean ask any southern man or
woman. We heard him deliver last
Sunday at Bethel one of the most
spiritual as well as powerful sermons
we have heard in years and he is un.
questionably a valuable asset to the
Church of Allen in this locality.
