and joyful conclusion.
But someone may object that the
lesson for today closes with the last
words of the book of Genesis, which
are "a coffin in Egypt" Is that
happy ending? It is, because even
that forbidding emblem of death
pointed in faith toward the day when
God was to keep his promise and
bring his people into the promised

Missionary Home
Opens On Sunday
BY Helene strawder
Executive Secretary

Executive Secretary
The first establishment of its
kind ever to be established for the
| people of the Negro race on the
Pacific coast, win be officially OPP
ened Sunday, November e. The
public is invited to the services
which open at 3 p. m. at Shiloh
Baptist Church.
The home will be place for
the people to really appreciate. In
spite of many hardships and many
setbacks, Rev. R. e. Donaldson,
field secretary of the National
Baptist Home Missionary Board
has finally brought to reality his
long cherished plan to do some
thing fine for his people. He has
made a name fer himself not so
much In upbuilding his own fin
ancial standing but in improving
the conditions of the churches of
his race.
Born Ia Nashville, Tennessee, he
entered into the ministry in 1927
after completing a course at the
Moody Bible Institute. Then he
was sent out to the Northwestern
Missionary field. Rev. Donaldson
has carried on his activities of
building better membership thru
out The Northwest but has CEN
tered his work particularly in the
Montavilla Shiloh Baptist church
of this city. There he has inn
proved their membership greatly,
beautified both the church and
grounds with the help OF his love-
lly wife, and has made it more of
a gathering place for the people
of his community.
Rev. Donaldson is opening this
missionary home in a convenient
spot across from his church on
18th st. and Everett, one block
from the Glisan street carline. The
home is large, cream-colored
wooden building, formerly an APP
artment building, but with much
work it has been made into an at
tractive home. Expenses were all
taken from the personal income of
Rev. Donaldson. The building oc-
cupies three floors. On the first
is located the living quarters of
the family, and on the others, the
rooms for the dodgers. There are
nine clean, airy rooms furnished
comfortably and pleasantly to be
rented at nominal fee. All the
dodgers will have free run of the
house, enjoying all the comforts
of home.
| If the person desiring room and
board has not the proper fin mces
at the time, he can fill out a reg
istration card stating all the par
ticulars of his former life. If he
is accepted, he is given free room
and board with the provision that
he win pay when he finds g posi-
ton. This money goes into a fund
for other unfortunate missionaries
unable to pay for their room and
board.
AS an added enterprise there
will be a Bible class under the gui-
dance of Mrs. Donaldson. Rev
Donaldson wishes to express his
appreciation to Rev. S. G. Wilson,
Regional Secretary of the Ma
tional Baptist Home Missionary
Board, for being the originator of
the idea for the Pacific Coast Ag-
ed Ministers and Missionaries
Home. He also wishes to thank
for their cooperation the follow
ing: Rev. F. L. Standifer, Mr.. E.
F. Bushnell, Mrs. K. F. Thomas,
Mrs. S. James, all on the board
of directors. Rev. Donaldson also
thanks these folk who are on the
board of Trustees: Mrs. N. DON
aldson, Mr.. ]. Dorch, Mrs. Thomp-
son, Rev. S. G. Wilson of Chicago,
and Mr.. S. Record of Toppenish,
Washington.

The Birth of Jesus, Luke 2:2-2O.
for Sunday, Dec. 10:
Our lesson consists of the most
wonderful news ever made known
to men,
v. 8. "And there were in the
same country shepherds abiding in
the fields, keeping watch over their
flOcks by night" God reveals him
self to all classes not ignoring those
of lowly rank. These shepherds
were on duty when "the angel of the
Lord came upon them" 1t is when
men are on duty that God calls.
God wants willing workers.
V. 9. "And the glory of the Lord
shOne round about them; and they
were sore afraid" Great impress
sions were made on these shep-
herds attributed to radiant heav~
emily light. Others might have seen
the light, but were not impressed
because they were not impression
able. Great revelations of God pro
duce awe.
v. 10. "And the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for, behold, / bring
you good tidings of great Joy, which
shall besto all people, God wants
