Union A. N. {. Church Progressed
Rapidly Under New Pastor, Dr.L Lewis

To meet a pressing emergency,
Bishop George +, Curry appointed
Rev. John II. Lewis, Principal Of
Dunbar High School, pastor of
Union AME Church in March of
this year. He found the church
building dilapidated, a heavy in
debtedness # approximately
si2e0.10 and the membership
scattered. He Immediately called
the church together and planned
a financial campaign to remodel
the church.
To inspire the people and to
initiate the drive, Bishop Curry
came in person and laid upon the
table three hundred dollars. This
manifestation of interest and con-
fidence in the pastor and people
by the Bishop awakened an en-
thusiasm and determination in the
members to face and overcome
the obstacles confronting them.
In less than five months more
than three thousand dollars has
been collected for all purposes.
OF theis amount, two thousand
dollars was raised for the building
fund. The motto has been "Pay-
as we improve"
The leaders in this financial eff
fort have been Mesdamcs Ballard
Townsend Rutledge, Nolan, At
kins, Henry, Graham, Cochran and
Clayborn.
On the third Sunday in Septem-
Der the financial drive will close
At that time we are hoping to
raise the remaining six hundred
dollars. This will enable the
trustees to clear up in full the
obligations.
Although Rev, Lewis has been
unable to give very much Of his
time to church work because Of his
many duties as Principal of Dun
bar. the church has made wonder
full progress under his leadership.
Union is rapidly rcgaining its
place in the life of the community
ms helpful influence in social
spiritual and intellectual service.
The response of the people has.
been marvellous and the outlook
for a new day is most hopeful.

Even yet, behind the beach of Ala
koa, continued the music and dane
ing which was an extension of the
wake for the death of James Wayne;
relaxing now into an emotional deb
acle which had forgotten the reason
that it began. Consequently the crew
of the Holokai, held on the vessel
when they had expected to go
ashore, was in resentful and surly
mood. From that frustrated and
dark-skinned crew any skipper could
expect a sullen handling of lines and
gear, and the uneasy, heavyweight
ed obedience of men who like moth
ing about their work. But this time
as Dick Wayne swung aboard the
Holokai something different hap
pened.
Tonga Dick came aboard relaxed
and smiling, and every move that
he made was lazy. The easy droop
of his whole figure would have
seemed, at first glance, to be that
of man upon whom anybody could
impose. And yet, as soon as he
stepped aboard, a peculiar and un-
explainable discipline came over the
whole length of the Holokai. The
crew forgot the doings behind the
beach, and the drinking they had
missed, and the girls they had
missed; suddenly they wanted moth
ing except to be out of range of the
inevitable explosion.
Tonga Dick didn't see any of that.
He didn't notice the unaccustomed
smartness with which deck Kanakas
got out Of his way, nor the naval
precision with which Inyashi attend
ed him-not too close. The rail felt
unnatural as he swung over it be-
cause his hands were cold and trem-
bling; and he was seeing nothing ex-
cert the wavering lights of the Seal,
