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

Rev. Albert introduced to us in his
timely sermon, the first labor leader
whom we first meet in the second
chapter of Exodus, which describes his
birth. His name was Moses and from
the time of his rescue from the bul
rushes by the daughter of Pharaoh, he
was destined to become one of the
greatest leaders of all time. AS la
Dor leader our present day leaders of
the labor movement would in all pro-
liability solve the present crisis if they
would but look to God and adopt the
philosophy of the leader of the children
of Israel. In spite of the inclement
worship period was very good You
know, if you really care to spend or
experience we'll spent evening, at
tend the Bible Study Class conducted
by Rev. Albert. 1t will not only prove
interesting but will simplify your in
depreciation of the difficult to under
stand passages of the Scripture.
In his discourses for the next two
Sundays, Rev. Albert will bring forth
two special messages concerning the
Social Ethics of the Prophet, Amos
To most of us Amos is considered as
one of the Prophets of lesser import
ance; however, Rev. Albert will prove
to those of us who are bit skeptical
where Amos importance is discussed,
that Amos is one of the greatest if
not the greatest
I'm sure that the discourses will
prove very interesting to all who are
interested in the truly great prophets
of Biblical History Let's all try our
utmost to be in attendance when
Amos, the herdsman, comes to town
by way of Rev. Albert
Let's not forget the Sabbath School
wherein we find the St James of to-
morrow slowly but surely moulding
itself into a greater St. James.
See You Sunday!

Delegation Returns from Moscow But Will Go
 Back, Is Report
(By Associated Press)

The Soviet diplomatic campaign brought additional military prepara- tions by Turkey and tension in- creased in Finland.
 In Finland, the Nation waited the outcome of the Finnish delegations visit to Moscow.
 The Foreign Office spokesman said the delegation members, who returned today, will go back to Moscow for further talks at an un- specified date.
 Silence of the crowd watching the delegates return indicated the Ma ton feels it is facing crisis.
 Unofficial Moscow sources ex- pressed the belief that Finland will probably concede to Russia certain Baltic Sea islands for naval bases but balk at a military alliance or concessions on the strategic Aaland Islands between Sweden and Fin land.
 The Turkish mission is expected to leave Moscow soon after signing some agreement with Russia on pas sage of warships through the Dar- danelles into the Black Sea.
 At Istanbul it is said Turkeys Foreign Minister has rejected three Russian demands-recogni and partition of Poland, formation of a neutral Balkan bloc under Russian domination, and expansion of the Bulgarian Russian pact at Ruman- ia's expense.

No Credit Will Be Exfend- ed, Is Amendment 10
 Repeal Measure q0-DAY PROVISIONS
 TO BE ELIMINATED
Profe sis of Senators on Both Sides Prove 10
 Be Successful

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. The Administrations leadership in the Senate has agreed to amend the arms embargo repeal bill to pro- hibit all credit to warning govern ments
 Senator Key Pittman proposed the amendments to wipe out the provisions in the present bill which would have allowed 90-day credit.
 This provision was criticized by many Senators on both sides of the arms embargo controversy, con- tending that 90-day credits would provide an entering wedge for longer credits and might drag this country into the present war.
 Among the Democratic Senators it is reported that members of the Foreign Committee are interested in relaxing the provisions against American shipping in visiting War ring nations. The committee will meet early this week to work out an agreement on the subject.
