BORDER BRIEFS"

Despite the fact that our Watch
Night services were not as we'll attend
ed as in former years, we had a great
meeting. After a brief prayer, praise,
and testimony service, Rev. Merrill
Nelson of Marietta, Ohio, and a
younger brother of Rev. Clarence T.
R. Nelson of St. Paul, brought great
soul-stirring message, fraught with in
spiration, information and challenge
that ought to long remain in the minds
and hearts of his hearers. We were
more than glad to have Rev. Mr.. Mel
son with us and do hope that he will
find it convenient to be with us again.
Last Sunday services, both Church
school and morning worship, got off to
a slow start due to the fact that many
of the teachers and Church officers
were still away on their holiday vaca-
ton. However, a very appreciative
congregation greeted the pastor as he
discussed the sermon-theme: Begin
ming with Cod. There could be no
doubt that God was with him in the
message, and the JUNCTION of His di-
vine Presence was strongly felt by his
hearers. We are very grateful for the
many friends who found it convenient
to worship with us, and who like us
received the blessing of the Holy Spir-
it that came down upon us.
Next Sunday, the eighth, Rev. D. P.
Young, pastor, will discuss the theme:
Continuing with Cod. This prom
Uses to be fitting sequel to the first
message of the year, and should be
heard by all of our members and
friends.
Thursday evening at eight o'clock,
the First Quarterly Conference held its
business session with DR.. J. Arthur
Rinkel, district superintendent, presid-
ing. The reports showed progress
along all lines. A Loyalty Campaign"
was launched, soliciting the increased
attendance and greater support on the
part of every one of Borders men,
bers. The membership roll will be re-
vised and persons who do not attend
the means of Grace nor support the
Church, will, like all others, have to
give an account of their stewardship,
state their intentions, mend their ways
or be dropped from the rolls of the
Church.

NEGRO PRESS SWINGS TO
JUSTICE BLACK

Washington, (C)-As result of his
voting with the majority in the Gaines

press has turned favorable to Associate
Justice Hugo Black, in spite of the
fact that he was proven a member OF

severely criticized by the Negro press
when he was named a justice of the
court by President Roosevelt.

ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH
Henderson Reddick, Pastor
(By L. c. Copes)

Our Mortgage Rally was a most
splendid success due mainly through
the splendid support accorded by
Rev. Osterhus and his congregation,
Rev. Nc Nicely and friends in the per-
sons of Rev. Thomas, Mr.. Frey, Mrs.
Tously, Mr.. Arthur Markve, and 9TH
ers too numerous to mention, who
made it possible for St. James to more
than realize its financial goal. How
about our spiritual goal, was it nearer
attainment after hearing the two splen-
did spiritual offerings as brought to us
by the Reverends Osterhaus and Nc
Nelly?
AT the morning worship Rev. Oster-
hus drew for us word picture of
two prosecuted groups, the Jews of to-
day and the Christians of yesteryear
The Jews are accepting their inevitable
end most mournfully while the Christ
ians were just opposite, they were
cheerful. for the end to them meant
the beginning of an everlasting life
and the realization of the many man.
sions that the Saviour had promised
them. They believed their Saviour
and our Saviour when he said, "In
my Fathers house are many mansions,
if it were not so | would not have told
you" The Jews don't at all acknow-
ledge Jesus Christ the Saviour of all
humanity, therein perhaps lies the
cause of their persecution and not
only the unfortunate Jews of today
but all who have not acknowledged
the Saviour will regretfully meet
their inevitable end. Those of US of
the present age can't at all ignore the
truth of there being Heaven and a
hell; for if we do, we are not ack-
nowledging our Saviour and his scrip
lures that reveal to us the only two
places for the habitation of our souls.
Rev. McNeely stressed missions and
their significance and our obligations to
these missions. The missions are the
result of Christ's charge to his discip-
les and baptizing them in the name of
the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost. Religion is universal and God
meant all people who accepted his
word to taste of eternal life regardless
of race, creed, or color. It's religion
of love. We should all live in the
fear of God and not in the fear of
earthly setbacks such as our present
day depression. We should be
prompt to meet our spiritual and finan-
cial obligations to our Church. Some
of us claim we are too poor to give a
tenth to the church; perhaps the rea-
son for our being poor is that we fail
to support Gods institution and our
failure to do this makes us a failure
in the eyes of God. We don't prosper
because we spend too little time in
church and give too sparingiy of our
time toward the completion of our
church program. We have forsaken
the hour of prayer in the home which
has much to do with the decline of the
interest in church work. The church
will prosper only through strong
spiritual background in the home.
Our Church can only be that which
we as members make it through our
everyday efforts.
Never before have we been the re-
cipients of two splendid spiritual mes
sages such as the Reverend Osterhus
and McNeely brought forth. Never
have we had more in the way of food
for thought as after listening to those
two splendid messages. If we never
