Church Notes: One of the largest
audiences of the fall season was in
attendance last Sunday morning to
hear DR.. w. II. Williams, district
superintendent of the Chicago Dis
trict, preach. In his sermon DR.,
Williams challenged the laymen to
accept their full responsibility in
carrying on the work of the
church. He declared that pastors
ought to be freed from many of the
details, financial and otherwise, so
that they can give their full time
to the spiritual affairs of the
churches. DIR. Williams delivered
very suggestive sermonette in
the afternoon service before leav-
ing for Chicago on an afternoon
train. Mrs. Benjamin Moore sang
a beautiful solo and the Camphor
"quintette" choir sang an anthem.
Remarks were made by Rev. B. N.
Moore and Rev. jackson, pastor
and assistant pastor, respectively,
of the St. James A. M. E. Church,
Rev. Baker and Rev. George JEFF
ferson of the Camphor Church. Mr..
Frank Steinhauser, organist of
the Church of the Messiah, was the
guest organist at the favorite
hymn service that followed the
Youth Fellowship meeting.
DR.. Miron A. Morrill,, professor
of Bible at Hamline University,
Mrs. Ruth Gage Colby and Mrs.
Addie C. Few were elected to fill
three vacancies on the Board of

ence business session that pre-
coded the reception for DIR. Will
liams on Saturday night.

ST. THOMAS NOTES: Now
that Fall is here, we find the vari-
Gus organizations of the church full
of plans and active in carrying out
those plans. The Social Service
Department had a rummage sale
some time ago which surpassed all
expectations. The Crusaders, not
to be outdone, have planned an
other one for the near future. The
Mems Club is going to vie for hon.
ors with its Annual Fall Festival
this weekend. The younger girls
feel rather left out, so they're talk
ing of organizing guild for them
selves for church service. Last
Sunday, Women's Day, was Cor
porate Communion for Women
We had as our guest speaker, Mrs.
H. R. Taylor, assistant to FIR. Ty-
ner of st. Luke's church. Mrs,
! Taylor spoke to US of three ways
by which we might Witness; by
our service, by our money, and by
our SELVES" Among welcome Wis
itors were Mrs. Dora Johnson, Miss
Anita Bloedoorn, Mrs. Theodore
Hatcher and son, Clyde, Mrs. Alice
Morgan, Mrs. Sadie Paule, Mrs. o,
B. Williams and Mr.. Robert NAL
lory, Jr. Robert, though no visi-
tor to us, is one of Uncle Sans
boys now, home on furlough from
Camp Funston, Kans. To see one
of our boys in uniform certainly
stirs ones pride. Don't forget
