Border N. (. Church
Dedieaies Edifice

The account of Border Methodist
Episcopal church reads like a fairy
story. It began in 1918 as a Sunday
school, organized on the South Side
of Minneapolis by group of loyal
Methodists who came to our city and
found here no church of own de-
nomination among its race group.
About a year late this "St. John"
Sunday school was organized into a
church. Among the charter men,
bers were: Mr.. and Mrs. Felix Clar-
Idly, Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Smith,
Mrs. Eva Robinson, Mrs. Irene Boone
and daughters, Juanita and Anna,
Mr.. and Mrs. Stansberry, Philip Hail,
Mr.. Malone, Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn,
Mrs. Maggie Mcdonald.
After changing names and loca-
tons, previously, the congregation
finally purchased the property at 95
Border avenue N. and gave the
church the name of the street. This
was its first move on the North Side
This property, representing in the
aggregate direct gift of the Gen.
eral Church of more than fifty-five
hundred dollars, makes it possible to
truthfulfy say that property of Bor-
der has never been mortgaged. How
ever, the changing of sections and
fn MI of fho
Lake Ice company, the changing of
residence on the part of members,
lack of UNCONVENTIONAL loyalty, adj
verse propaganda, unjust criticism
and insinuations, together with in
stances of questionable leadership,
nearly caused the discrimination of
the church. Being project in Home
Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
church its financial support has al
ways exceeded or been commensurate
with the leadership and program of
the local congregation.
Among its pastors who are still
identified with the Lexington confer
ence are: DIR. D. M. Jordan, Revs.
L. r. Simmons, Thomas H. Hines,
Fletcher c. Walker, and Damon P.
Young, present pastor The coming
of Rev. Young was an experiment re-
sulting from local survey made by
DR.. w. A. c. Hughes in the early
part of 1885. The man and his pas
torate speak for themselves.
Sunday, the ninth, the new Border
church, northwest corner Aldrich and
Fourth avenues, NJ, will be formally
dedicated. At IL o'clock worship
hours, Bishop A. P. Shaw of New
Orleans, La, will preach the initial
sermon, and the senior choir will

May 8 Is Mothers Day
So Let US Honor Her

Mother Dear will come into her
own and hold the spotlight of the
entire nation Sunday, May 9, when
Mothers day is observed.
In school, in the home, at church
and at social gatherings mothers
will be honored be they dead or
alive.
Men, women and children are
planning many lovely gifts for moth
ers. kilograms, greeting cards and
flowers will be sent out in abundance
to let mother know that she still
reigns supreme.
1t might be well to tell my read
ers the history of this great day.
The generally accepted story of
Mothers day, celebrated in this
country on the second Sunday in
May, is that it originated with Miss
Anna Jarvis, a Virginian whose
mother died in 1906. This sad event
caused Miss Jarvis to suggest a ma
tional holiday in which the mothers
of all races, living or dead, be re-
n1embered in some affectionate and
notable way. The idea grew out of
request for her cooperation in
memorial service in honor of Miss
Jarvis mother who had rendered a
distinctive service to her church and
community.
First Mothers Day
The first Mothers day celebration
was held in Presbyterian church in
Philadelphia, May 10, 1908. State
after state passed the desired legis-
lation setting apart the day and on
May 8, 1914, President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan signed
joint resolution of the United States
Congress designating the second Sum
day of May as Mothers Day."
All of us know what a name may
mean to us. To mention mother"
is to bring before our eyes one
whom we love most tenderly, whom
we revere as having extraordinary
gifts, and for whom in our mature
days we would make any sacrifice.
The name represents a picture that
touches our hearts. The passage of
years, new associations and the So
bering atmosphere of life's heavier
currents fail to obscure the touching
effect of that perennially sweet word,
mother"
Cherish Mothers Nature
1t is possible for a man to forget
many of childhood's happenings, but
IS long as reason holds sway there
is one name that can ever elicit
noble response from the innermost
being, the cherished name of her
VINO bore him. Indeed, it is recorded
of more than one man, great in
worldly achievements, that when he
lapsed into the comatose state that
accompanied his final departure from
life, the incoherent phrases that fell
from his lips showed that his phan-
tasy was dwelling on the dearest of
natural treasures, the realistic pic
ture of his mother.
