Last Sunday was a day that will
be an outstanding one in the memory
of our people. The Bishops of our
Church had been holding their fall
meeting in the city and on Sunday
they were assigned to the various
pulpits. By request of the pastor,
Bishop John NJ Moore came to US
and there has never been more ap-
preciative nor a more appropriate
message than he brought to us. He
has been interested in our affairs for
a long time. He took occasion to
refer to the fact that when he was
Secretary of the Home Board of Mis-
sions he had been all over Algiers
and examined the locations that were
contemplated and had rejoiced in our
success. He further said that we had
said all we needed in-order-that We
might do a great work was a build
ing and that now we had the building
that we would surely redeem our
promise. He then gave us a great
message from the subject MAN
shall not live by bread alone" Matt.
young people, and as usual in our
congregation they were largely in the
majority of attendants. He urged not
for that which was good but for that
which was best as our life's goal.
The highest should be aimed for and
not just the ordinary. 1t was an in
spirational hour and the good Bishop
may be sure that the seed fell upon
good ground and will yield harvest
for the Masters kingdom. The
Mems Choir gave their usual good
music Of special anthems and also a
solo by Mr. Leonard Nash. At night.
the pastor spoke to a Church only
about half filled as he urged the
members to go across the river to
First Church and hear Bishop Beau
champ speak. Quite a number ac-
cepted the invitation and did so. The
Mizpah Choir nearly all attended, but
Miss Hafkesbring was at the organ.
Last Wednesday, December 6.
1922. occurred the death of Mrs. T. A.
Pollock, ST., at the home of her son.
DIR. ]. E. Pollock, 627 Oliver. Her
death was unexpected, as she was in
good health. Her dear husband had
been taken from her only two weeks
previous to the date of her own
death. and she had apparently taken
up the thread of her life again, when
she too was called. She and Mr..
Pollock had been married for fifty.
seven years and had lived in our com.
munity for about twenty-nine years.
She had been member of our local
church since March IL, 1895, when
she Joined by letter, while DIR. ]. B.
Walker was pastor. It is stating the
real truth when 1t is said that there
mas not been a better loved member
OF our church than she was. Her
remains were buried from the little
church that she loved so we'll. and
that she served so faithfully all of
these active years, at four o'clock
December z. The choir rendered an
propriate music and the pastor made
a short talk in which he spoke of
her virtues, and of how tenderly she
mad been loved by the membership
OF the church, and by the people of
the whole community. DR.. Rightor

all OF our city. These may fully an.
preciate the fact that they had such
good parents. They will never have
to apologize for any act Of their
parents, and may well be proud of
the good name that is left them IN
revere and appreciate. These good
people will be greatly missed by their
friends and loved ones, but we must
appreciate the fact that they finished
the race of life, and had laid down
tne working tools Of life, when the
day was about over. Neither of |
them had a suffering illness nor a
painful death. We pray God to bless |
and comfort those who mourn these
dear parents who have been taken IN |
such short time from them.
