Jesus, | my cross have taken,

Thou from hence my all shall be:
Yet how rich is my ambition,
God and heaven are still my own;
Perish every fond ambition,
All l have hoped and sought and

From some the question comes,
What is the Peoples Church and Com
munity Church and what does it stand
for? The church stands for the Faith
erhood Of God and the Brotherhood
Of Christ; the belief that none are 50
far gone but what they can be re-
claimed; none so deep in corruption
but that the hand Of Christ can lift
them; none 50 foul but that the blood
of Christ can cleanse them; and that
God does not take account of us as
churches or organizations, but as indi-
viduals who must, in the final analysis,
give account to God for all the deeds
done in the body.
I'VE believe that our religion should
demonstrate itself in a most practical
manner, have to do with every phase
OF human life, that our lives may be
brought into harmony with the life Of
Christ,
"If the individual is hungry, feed
him and then pray for him; if he is
naked, clothe him and then tell him
Of the garment Of righteousness; if he
is thirsty give him drink and then tell
him OF the fountain OF living water.
The Master himself said: In as
much a. We have done this to the least
Of these. my brethren, ye have done It
unto Me. Again, our church stands
for the promoting and fostering OF all
legitimate business enterprises. TO
this end we have manifested interest ID
all civic and secular matters tending
toward the uplift of all the people,
and especially our own racial group.
The statesman has been welcomed to
this platform; the banker has spoken
of his business; the lawyer has dis
coursed Of his ASPIRATIONS; the physi-
clan has spoken Of the laws Of health;
the orator has displayed his eloquence;
the musician has demonstrated his
ability, and the man of genius has ex-
hibited his talent before the vast audi
ences which have from time to time
assembled in this historic building and
all this made possible at the expense
Of the Peoples Church and Commun-
ity Center.
And many whose ability might
never have been known but for the
opportunity given them by our church
and center, and in giving this oppor-
tunity, we have done only what a
live, active church should do to dem
onstrate its right to exist in the com
munity and support Of the people, and
judging from the past results we have
abiding confidence in the future. We
know that if we give the people worth
