Pilgrim Baptist Church News:
Pilgrim looks back on a year which
might have been better but could |
have been worse. Pilgrim looks
forward with hope and bravery to |
the new year. We have traded |
with fate but we feel we have bar
gained we'll. We gave sixteen boys
to the cause Of democracy and free
dom but we received in return new
faith, new courage and new pride |
in the fact that we had such fine
boys to give. We lost a deacon
to the grim reaper but we still |
have the memory of a life lived |
beautifully. We have given to
defense employment many of our
faithful members but we have the |
healthy feeling in return that Pill
grim is doing her full part. All in
all we approach the New Year with |
thanks in our hearts and a prayer
for victorious peace on our lips.
