OWLS OBSERVE
MEMORIAL SERVICE

Mt. Olivet Baptist Mission,
1927 Jackson Street, was the
Mecca Sunday afternoon at p.
m. of 1.-THE Owls, fully regaled,
who came again to honor the
memory of a deceased buddy,
The Rev. Judson Swancy, pas
tor of the mission, preached the
memorial sermon. His text "a
Gracious Woman retaineth hon
or. For there is no respect of
persons with God"
my Buddy" with Miss Full
mighter at the piano, was the
message that opened the veil
which separates mortals from
immortals as once again they
were face to face.
Rev. Swancy emplored the
mourners to continue a custom
well worth while: Render to all,
therefore their dues; tribute to
whom tribute is due; honor to
whom honor is due.
