OF two giant trees which were used
in the construction of home and
bridge, the pastor explained to the

meaning of the sacrifice of Christ.
Then, in sermon on "The Triumph
of Faith" as seen in the Cross, he
pleaded for greater faith in Gods
interest and assistance in the mate
rial as well as spiritual verities of
life. Mr.. S. S. X. S. Stewart of Los
Angeles sang an appropriate solo in
his rich baritone, making distinct
devotional contribution to the MORN

Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. ].
Sterling Moore, pastor.-Large con-
gregations were in attendance at both
services Sunday. At the morning
service, the pastors discourse was
directed primarily to the candidates
for baptism, and was based on Mark
1: 1918. By numerous Scripture
references, Rev. Moore clearly ex-
planned how the adversary first men,
toned in Genesis as the tempter of
the woman was the same that tempt
ed Christ in the wilderness. He told
his hearers how they could beware
of him and his wiles. "Christ had to
be subjected to the same temptations
and overcome that the first Adam
was subjected to and failed" he said.
at is resisting things forbidden that
strengthens and makes character.
Every true born child of God must be
put to a test. The only way to re-
pulse the devil is by Gods Word;
Gods love and by Gods power. You
will have to resort to much prayer
much meditation, faith and trust in
God to keep vou." Baptizing of the
candidates followed the sermon.
The p. Y. p. U. had an interesting
discussion of the lesson topic, "The
Inward Conflict" Next Sunday ev-
ening, the b. Y. P. U. of the Queen
Anne Baptist Church of which Rev.
Richardson is pastor, will be in
charge of the young peoples meet
ing. All are invited to attend.
Behold, | bring you good tidings
of great joy" Luke 2:1O, was the
text of the sermon delivered by Rev.
u. ID. Hamilton at the evening SER
vice. Two united with the church
First A. M. E. Church, Rev. T. r.
Jones, pastor.-Baptizing and fellow
shipping of new members was con-
tinued last Sunday. Up to this time
twenty-eight have been baptized and
seventy of the new members have
been fellowshipped into the Church.
At the eleven o'clock service the
Pastor spoke from the subject "The
Conquering Christ" he said in part.
The histories of the nations are
largely made up of the accounts and
descriptions of wars, armies. and con-
fllct on the battle field. The heroes
OF war have been held up as the ideal
Of the nations. When Christ came
into the world, the nations were al
most constantly at war with
each other, but in establishing
his Kingdom he raised no armies,
commanded no troops. He advocated
hatred against no nation but toler-
ance for all, and love for even our
enemies. Hence his idea of a king
dom of peace on earth failed to find
ready response in the minds of its
hearers; but with these principles of
righteousness as the foundation of his
Kingdom, he has conquered MANY ma
tons and is ultimately destined TO
conuuer the world.
The subject Sunday night, "The
overcoming Church."
Next Sunday the Pastor will
preach at beth services. Worship
with US next Sunday. You will re-
ceive hearty welcome.

WITH THE CHURCHES
The Everlasting Arms

When the people of Israel
were CROPPING toward some solu-
ton of their problem and 1t
seemed to them that all life was
wilderness and uncertainty, they
found hope and confidence In
the thought that the foundation
of all things was the constant,
dependable, Interchangeable power
of God.
Underneath" they said, ARE
the everlasting arms"
Sometimes il seems to us as it
the world were a wilderness.
Sometimes we lose sight Of the
pillar of cloud which goes be-
fore, to guide us. Sometimes the
nights seem black and starless
and the kindly light of Gods
presence is not seen.
Yet, always, though above us
and around us the universe
seems to be empty of divine love
and purpose, we feel that life
rests on something everlasting.
Above us there may seem to be
void, around us the waterless
sands of the desert; but under
meath are the everlasting arms.
IL is religious faith that makes
for self-control, for calmness,
and for wise patience. We need
not allow the little uncertain
ties of life to brighten us. We
need not believe that, because
things 60 a bit wrong, the
whole plan of God is to be de-
feated. The winds may blow
and the storms rage, but the
house of our life is built upon
the rock and il will not fall.
Let us stop wailing, accusing,
denouncing, lamenting and fear
ing. Let us remind ourselves
that the foundations of life have
lasted quite a while and that the
eternal is nct weary. For un-
1crrcath are the everlasting
Srrs.'

ALABAMA DEMAND REFERRED
Gen. Jadwin to Study States Request

A States right question of impor-
lance has been injected into the opera
ton of the Governments big power

of the State of Alabama on the War
Department for the payment of taxes
on the electric power produced by the
plant. Demand for such payment at
