Pilgrim Baptist,
"The HOme-Like
Church" News
By IRA d. DORSEY
795 ROndO Ave.

On Sunday, May rs, 1941, the
church was very deliberately dec
grated with palms and assorted
flowers, which added beauty to all
the services.
The large basket Of flowers was
donated by Rev. S. E. Ware. They
were in memory of his mother. The
pastor asks that there be a basket
of flowers every Sunday in memory
of some deceased person.
The Sunday School opened at
$3.50. The Young Peoples lesson
was instructed by Miss Dorothy
Thomas. The theme of the lesson
was Broadening Christian Horiz-
ons." The text, "Peter's Vision"
Acts 10:1-11:1.
The Sunday School is very happy
to have Miss Louise Howard back
after her illness.
Throughout this week the nation
is making a health movement. AS
guest speaker DR.. Earl S. Weber,
a well-knOwn dentist in st. Paul,
gave a health talk. DR.. Weber
presented an excellent illustration
of how your teeth play an import
ant part toward your health.
At the eleven o'clock services the
pastor preached a very vigorous
and stirring message. The theme
was awake! Put on Your
Strength, o Zion, Put on Your
Beautiful Garments" The text was
Isaiah 51:1. The pastor brought out
that he wanted Pilgrim to put on
their beautiful garments and be
reigiously strengthened. He also
stated the strength Of the church
does not lie in wealth but in the
steadfastness in truth and holi-
ness.
The Senior Choir, the Gospel
Chorus, and the Junior Choir, under
the direction of Mrs. Tyler and
Mrs. Arlee Slaughter respectively,
rendered a very beautiful twilight
concert. The guest soloist for, the
occasion was Rev. S. E. Ware. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Ware.
On every fourth Sunday night
the B. T. U. presents a Youth For
UNI. The Forum is educational
and inspirational to the youth of
the community. Miss Thelma Dor
sey was the guest soloist for the
evening. Other music was furn-
ished by the Melody Maids, Carol
ing Combs, Eloise Vassar, Iris

Memorial Duy
By MORRIS GIBBS, SR.


Memorial Day is on May the
thirtieth
A day we're all proud Of,
A day which made this country one
United again by the principle of
Love.
Down through the years we've
nourished
Those ideals we zealously fought
for,
And have encouraged nations so
minded
To secure it if necessary, 90 to
war.
Like many new institutions
The world lent a critical eye,
To see if this nation could prove
That their sacrifice would not
die.
But democracy is a God inspired
way
For all people to be governed,
Tis true it has many faults
But some principles are slowly
learned.
Our democratic way of living
Has been put to the test many
times,
We have come through crises
When the enemy had undemo-
cratic designs.
Now we are at another crossroad
To test again our rights,
This may be the severest of all
But Right still wins all its fights.
If we must fight again for de-
mocracy
Better now, than before too late
For Nazism waits for no country,
Memorial Day will end, if we
hesitate.

Examinations on
June TWenty-Mst
EDITOR.

The Minneapolis Urban League
has received notice from the State
Civil Service Bureau that exami-
nation will be given for the posi-
lions of Senior and Junior Inter-
viewer with the Division of Employ
ment and Security. The closing
date for filing applications is June
3rd. Examinations will be given
on June 81. Application blanks
can be obtained at the Minneapolis
office of the Employment Service,
3rd floor, Transportation Building.
Principal qualifications are a
college degree or several years ex-
perience in personnel work. Chas.
W. Washington, Executive Secre-
tary of the Minneapolis Urban
League, states that if a sufficient
number of persons are interested
in taking this examination a study
group will be formed to assist can
didates in preparation for the ex-
animation. Further information
about the study group can be OBJ
tanned at the Urban League office,
24O South 4th Street, Minneapolis.
Make Applications
Mr.. Washington also states that
it is advisable for Negroes to con-
tinue to make application for jobs
in the International Harvester
arms plant. The personnel office
of this plant which is located at
2572 University Avenue, St. Paul,
will be open Monday. On the basis
of correspondence received by the
Minneapolis Urban League from
officials of the INC in Chicago
there is an indication that job pros
poets at this plant for Negroes are
very good.
Only Two Employed
A recent check on the employ
ment of Negroes by local defense
firms shows that only one or two
Negroes have received jobs. This
situation not only calls for in
creased pressure on local firms
but is a matter to be taken up with
the Office of Production Manage
ment which is consistently urging
defense industries to refrain from
any form of employment discrim-
ination.

Says Paper Has
Been Unfair;
Raps Publisher
Editor:

In several issues of your paper
for the past ten months there have
been articles on the Hayden-Lewis
personal" affairs.
The most interesting as we'll as
puzzling fact is that you and the
public have never dealt with the
facts in the case. Prejudice, jeal-
ousy, common gossip and gross ig-
norance have been obvious. If a
member of a church cannot confide
by confession and expression of his
or her troubles or ask advice as to
proper future plans of a minister
of the gospel who has been the
head of the church in which one
has worshipped for years without
censure or public exposition as
has been disclosed in recent pub
LEGATION in your paper, then the
whole fabric of the fiduciary rela-
tionship between a pastor of the
church and a member thereof that
has been recognized down through
the ages becomes a worthless, ir-
religious and scornful practice.
And if this fiduciary relationship,
between priest and parishonee is
still recognized by society and reli-
gion, then those who beguile or dis
respect it by offering to a pub
Usher those confidential facts
stolen or illegally obtained and the
publisher publishes them without
regard to these principles certainly
must be passing or have passed
beyond the pale of the standards
and recognized principles of our
society and religion.
At the time the correspondence
that was so beautifully and elab-
orately published in your columns
some time ago and the date such
correspondence took place, divorce
proceedings had been duly insti-
tuted in the district court second

G. L. Hayden.
If this situation as l above men
ton contravenes the principles of
Society and Convention, then I have
committed an infraction thereof
along with the peers of American
society, the son of our beloved
President included. You Mr.. Edi-
tor and your friends beyond the
shadow of doubt have been very
uncharitable to me. You did not
wait to find out the facts. No, APP
parently from your eagerness to
hold me up unfavorably before the
world, you did not want the facts.
But l am happy to say that the
best vindication that one can obtain
in this our great democratic coun-
try is the vindication in the courts
of our land; and Mr.. Editor sub
NIT to you for my vindication of
your slanderous and indecent pub
locations in the columns of your
paper the records and files Of dis
trict court of Ramsey Co., Mimi,
the case No. 238457. / shall ever
feel that if you had desired to do
justice to me you would have first
obtained or sought to obtain facts,
before publication.
l was not surprised in view of
the vituperative remarks in your
recent columns concerning me
when 1 heard of the protracted eff
forts of three society matrons, who
made five trips to the court room
to hear my case. These matrons
were seen by my attorney and Mr..
Lewis and made inquiries of Mr..
Turner and Mr.. Lewis as to why
the trial was prolonged. d.
Finally with reference to certain
unfair statements in letters pub
lished in your January "a and 81
issues that part which states at
does seem that there should be
some justice done to a woman and
man who would deliberately break
up home and orphan little chill
dren" is an utter falsehood and
Ramsey County Court records will
prove it's falsity.

Editors Note: This paper has never re-
fused to retrRet or correct any proven
error which has appeared in Il at any time.
In publishing the letters from Mrs. Emma
Hayden it was perfectly in its right. Mrs.
Hayden made the request and because she
had never had ''her day in the public
press We felt IL our duty to allow her to
have her say. The correspondence was
not Beautifully and elabOrately' pub
hshed but placed on the second page in
publication could have legitimately played
up the letters on the front page in feature
style. While the actual letters included
the name Of writer Of the above letter we
deleted it wherever il appeared.
Because Of the prominence of the indi-
Viduals involved in the 'Hayden-Lewis"
case it was impossible to hide the story
from the general public. Our news treat
ment Of the entire matter has been re-
strained and ethical II is not the fault
Of the newspaper that these things occur.
Our chief duty is to the people who read
or bad our principal concern Is that we
present the news fairly, accurately and
honestly. In the "Hayden-Lewis" case we
have been very careful that we keep with
in the rules we have set up rs 4 news
paper, rules and practices which have made
our newspapers respected news mediums.
Lastly the writer Of the letter before
alleges that our last weeks account car
ried many erroneous statements but she
does not say what statements were erTone-
Gus, therefore we cannot correct the al
legged errors. A competent reporter Of Is
years experience covered the divorce trial
and until some proof Is presented to US
that the story contained erroneous state
ments" we have nothing to correct.
Public figures owe q duty to the public.
Usually. as in this case, newspapers are
not treated fairly by those involved and
given the facts in the case. Such facts
therefore must be gathered from various
sources and because most public figures
involved are belliEerent and beIlieOse
stories run on often weeks after they
should have been forgotten.
We had hoped that the final chapter in
the Hayden-Lewis case was closed with
our April IS issue but here il is againI
Instead Of asserting that the paper has
been very uneharitable we feel that the
former Mrs. Lewis should praise US for
the manner in which we handled the en-
tire situation.
