The Dallas express. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1893-1970, 1921-09-17
ST. JAMES A. M. L. TEMPLE
NOTES.


The more than two weeks enter
tainment during which time pro-
gram was rendered each night and a
Bazaar conducted in the basement
of the church has closed. The pas
tor and members of the church do
not know how to express their graf
itude to the many friends that made
up the program. Not one program
failed. Wednesday night September
the 7th was Woodman night. Owing
to the illness of some of the child
rem, the TON Thumb Wedding"
which was to be one of the features
of that night had to be left out, but
Mrs. Williams soon found sufficient
substitutes and the entertainment
went forward, to the delight of all
present. Mrs. Williams will stage the
wedding at some future date.
The Young Peoples night was
brilliant success despite the fact
that several Of the young people who
had Important parts had to be away
as they were delegates to the Sun
day School Convention. Miss Char
ley Mae Henry saw to it that moth
ing was short about their program.
The, people were loud in their praise
of her ability to put things over.
AS was stated last week, it
decided to change the Lowery night
to date when Mr.. Lowery could be
present in person. Through the
kindness of Mr. Vernie Johnson and
his most excellent band a great en-
tertianment was furnished us from
seven to eight o'clock. These gen.
tlemen charmed the audience-the
regret was that many of the people
who get off late from their work
missed the entertainment The band
men could not stay later as they
had employment from that time on.
we take this method of thanking
Mr.. Jahnson and each one of his
men.
The entertainment closed with many
wishing that it might have gone on
longer, but many of the working
forces were tired The decorations
were soon removed and Sunday
morning found every thing normal
The Sunday School was able to hold
its session in the basement as usual.
The Rev. Mr.. Richard H. Wade of
Los Angeles, Calf, was present ac-
cording to appointment and deliver.
ed to the congregation an excellent
sermon, at the close of which one
young woman professed a hope in
Christ and Joined the church Rev.
Wade said that he never preached a
sermon that some one was not con-
verified. The Afeverend had many of
his childhood day friends in the
audience who came to hear him
preach.
In the afternoon Mrs L. NJ. Hugh
es, State President of the Missionary
Society of the A. NJ E. Church and
Correctional Secretary of w. H. F
Society, was present and delivered
a most telling message to the local
missionary workers. Mrs Hughes
is among the most able women of
the race and is destined in the very
near future to be president of the
correctional Work. Due to the lin
tied notice the missionary workers
did not get together in complimentary
numbers to hear Mrs. Hughes, but
Mrs. c. w. Abingdon, who is the
president Of the North Texas Con-
ference Branch and also City Mis-
sionary Alliance plans to have Sis
ter Hughes return to the city in the
near future when an opportunity
will be afforded to talk to all the
local workers.
The total results of the entertain
ment has not been gathered up to
this time, but will be ready for the
next issue Of the paper. AS was
stated some weeks ago, this effort
was only designed to mark the be-
ginning of the great rally that is
staged for the last Sunday in October.
The members met in goodly numbers
Monday night and plans were made
to push forward the drive for ten
thousand ($10,000) dollars. Each
member of the church is to raise
$500 Some fine prizes have been
given by the various merchants for
this effort, which will be on eXhi-
bition until the effort closes.
ST. James ask dts friends to con-
tinue to help her until she can get
on her feet-she is laboring hard
to that end. If she can raise thu
ten thousand dollars the way viii
look much better for her. One thing
public in its behalf is that you see
what has gone with your money.
The results are there. at would hc
a great thing If every member Of
the RACE in the city would give ONE
DOLLAR toward the debt and nut
it over. that the church might NOT
be hampered in their activity.
