BORDER BRIEFS

Memorial Sunday was fittingly OBJ
served with a pew reserved for veter-
ans and the memorial theme predomi-
mating throughout. During the morn
i ing worship we were glad to welcome
| into the Border family and fellowship
Mrs. Frances Davis, and sincerely
hope that she will feel at home with us
as together we strive to work out our
souls salvation. Too, we were happy
to have Mr.. Leland Green, editor of
race paper in Des Moines, Iowa and
one of the friends of our Church to
worship with us and to remain over
for the young peoples meeting in the
evening. At this particular program
/ the young people had as their special
guests the Oxford League of Simpson
Methodist Church Our leagues COM
J bined in entertaining their friends with
games, refreshments, etc, and all re-
ported very enjoyable time. The
| crowd at Trinity Methodist Church
that evening were very loud in their
expressions of appreciation of our pas
tors discussion of the subject: "The
Negro and the War Question" AS
usual, The Kentucky Harmony Sing
ers were loudly applauded for their
numbers.
Beginning this Sunday, June 5th,
our Vespers will be discontinued until
September. Therefore, instead of the
regular monthly Candlelight Com
munion service, the Lords Supper will
be administered at the Morning Wor
ship service. Rev. D. P. Young, pas
tor, will use the sermon theme: 10y
alty To Christ" Our services last
only one hour and thirty minutes and
offer opportunity for true worship
experience to all persons who believe
in the Deity. To the unChurched we
extend a cordial invitation to come and
be at home with us, and we will do
you, good.
Tuesday afternoon the Ladies Aid
Society met at the home of Mrs. Roy
Austin, 8O8 3rd Avenue, North, with
Mrs. Nellie NJ Kelley, president, pre-
siding. Wednesday evening our Scout
master, Mr.. Audrey VIM. Doughty,
and representatives of the Troop Com
mittee, Rev. D. P. Young, Messrs.
Clifford E. Rucker and Briscoe Lewis,
attended the Glenwood land Polaris
Districts Scouters' Pow Wow at the
Glenwood chalet A very stimulating,
inspiring, and instructive fellowship
was enjoyed Great things are in store
for our Boy Scouts, and no well mean
ing parents or guardians having boys
of the Scouts age can well afford to
deny themselves this help in the char
acter development of their boys. Re
member that Troop No 1913 is
North Side Troop, sponsored by Bor-
der Church and the Johnny Baker
Post, American Legion, and is open to
all our boys II years old and above,
irrespective of what Sunday school or
Church he attends.
Thursday evening our Boy Scouts
sponsored concert by the Kentucky
Harmony Singers at Border. A very
large crowd of friends of both racial
groups heard this fine aggregation OF
singers. Financially, it far exceeded
the fondest expectation of the Scouts,
Scoutmaster, Troop Committee, and
the Scouts Mothers Club. Watch
these fine boys Of ours. They are 60
ing to show us something really
worthwhile if we only give them half
a chance to develop the best that there
is in them Thursday afternoon the
Missionary societies had mite box
opening at the Church. Mrs. Ethel
Ash, Mite Box secretary, and Mrs.
Wisie White and Mrs. ID. P. Young, !
presidents, were very pleased with the
fine response of these consecrated wo-
men who have the missionary zeal
and passion May Gods richest bles-
sings rest richly upon all His people.
