mount and so fondly attached to the
things that perish that compare
lively few give heed to this Cody
command. A significant period in
our morning service each Sunday

Pilgrim Baptist Church News:
All persons present at the Junior
Church meeting Sunday morning,
March IA, were greatly benefited by
the address delivered by DIR. Fisher.
Rev. S. E. Ware, pastor, in his
most eloquent manner, delivered a
sermon which was a masterpiece at
the IL o'clock worship period on
The Seven Last Words" Rev.
Ware emphasized Christ's magnifi-
cent strength to pray and plead for
people who without a just cause
were killing him. He said forgive
ness has no limit. This sermon can
well be summed up in these words:
"Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you" The sermon
will no doubt live always in the
hearts of many. The senior choir,
under the direction of Mr.. A. V.
Hall, rendered very beautiful music.
Mrs. Hattie Hall was at the organ.
Mr.. Thomas Tollerson sang a solo.
Guests were Mrs. Spriggs of Bis
marck, N. D., and DR.. Fisher. Flow
ers were in memory of Mrs. Flor
ence Brown, placed on the altar by
Mrs. Ida B. Smith.
The text for next Sunday, March
81, will be "This Day Thou Shalt
Be with Me in Paradise" Mrs.
Irma H. Allen will sing "The Cruel
fixon."
The National Baptist Twilight
Victory Program rendered by the
gospel chorus was a success. Rev.
Ware who impersonated DR.. D. v.
Jemison, president of the National
Baptist Convention, preached on
Working Together with God" All
impersonations were well done.

Maids and the Mems Sextet were
under the direction of Miss Arlee
