THE AMPLIFIER
was the pastors text and subject?'
By J. HENRY JAMES

arose, and went into the borders Of
Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an
house, and would have no man know
It: but he could not be hid. Text
found in st. Mark 7:24."
BRO. TILMUN: "That subject
sounds good to me, wish l had heard
that sermon"
AMPLIFIER: "The delivery was
power full, spiritual,
searching and captivating. This SER
mon stirred the audience and was lis
tened to with intense interest. Those
who did not cry aloud, used their
handlierchiefs to catch their silent
ears. Rev. Parham does not try to
preach big sermons for no-to-ri-e-ty,
neither does he try to tickle the pco-
pies fancy, but he breaches the
GOSPEL Just as the Lord has COM
manded him to preach-uncompro-
misingly."
BRO. TILMUN: That's the kind
of preaching we like. Do the MEM
bers seem to like him well?"
AMPLIFIER: Certainly; they
seem to be very pleased with him and
his splendid leadership. The members
are cooperating with him, and the
church is rapidly progressing, both
spiritually and financially. Many
people know how hard Mosby strug-
gled in finding a shepherd, but now
the church is moving onward and up
ward, with her head Lifted Above
the Clouds This church has become
an irresistible magnet for drawing
the people"
BRO. TILMUN: eve heard that
they have ORGANIZED the JUN
TOR CHURCH also. What about it??'
AMPLIFIER: eyes, brother Til
nun, they have really Organized the
Junior Church. They were present
and active in the services this morn
ing, Sunday, July 9Th, After the
sermon they sang, Il Want to See Je-
sus, Don't YOU"
BRO. TILMUN: "That's splendid.
We feel that the Baptist Churches
have fallen short in looking after
the YOUNG PEOPLE. They get
them in the church, and don't pay
any more attention to them. That
is one of the reasons the churches
are COLD"
AMPLFER: eyes, l agree with
you. Until these churches see the
necessity of organizing the young
people, they are going to continue to
90 back to the world. And, our
Churches will continue to be COLD
BRO. TILMUN: "What OF n er
churches in the city have organized
the JUNIOR CHURCH"
AMPLIFIER: 81 only know of one
and that is Fifth Street Baptist
Church, whose pastor is DR.. c. C..
Scott"
BRO. TILMUN: 81 thought you
were going to say Sixth Mount Zion,
because DR.. A. W. Brown is certain
ly wide-a-wake and progressive
pastor of this city. He is second to
none.
AMPLIFIER: at does seem very
strange that the great historical
Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church
has not organized Junior Church
yet. But l understand that it is not
DR.. Browns fault. He has been
trying to organize a j U N o R
CHURCH ever since he has been
pastoring at that church. But l am
sorry that, the members (some of
them) have not yet seen the real ne
cessity of having a j IN 10 R
CHURCH. l am praying that their
eyes will soon open, and they will
see the need of organizing their
young people into the JUN 10
CHURCH. To tell the truth, there
is a hypocritic bunch of old men,
bers at Sixth Mount Zion who be-
lieve in just shouting and cutting
the fool in Gods House. Rev. Jas
per could not do very much with
them. DR.. R. V. Peyton could not do
much with them, and they will not
give DR.. Brown the best co-opera-
ton. Many of them seem to think
that the young people are going to
hell; we'll, l agree with them, they
will go to hell, if they (the young
people) follow into all the foot
prints that some of our older peo-
pie are making. We honor and love
the old people, but some of them
must be told of their short comings
and hellish ways. Some of the older
people think they can make it to
heaven by jumping up in the church
shouting, running from the pulpit to
the front entrance of the church,
tearing off their coats and hats, hol-
lering, falling on the pews, and so
on. But, they can not get to heaven
that way. And, when church meet
ings are held, this same buch, OBJ
jects to nearly every good move
ment the church sees fit to make.
Pastors see the real necessity of or
ganizing the young people into the
church. And they should get busy
and organize the JUNIOR CHURCH.
Read st. Mark 1914, and you will
fnd that Jesus is calling for the
Junior Church. They may not coop
crate with You very well in the be-
ginning, but they will. Mark my pre-
diction."
BRO. TILMUN: eve got off the
subject a litzlethat time but we will
Legin where we left off. Can you
give nc TIE rames of some of the
officers of this JUNIOR CHURCH
organized at Mosby Memorial?"
AMPRlFIER: "Of course, DR.. S.
l.. Parham is pastor. Miss Josephine
Houser, Secretary, Wesley Scott.
