st. James A. M. E. Church Notes:
No doubt uplifted by the spirit of
the occasion, a large congregation
were in attendance at our 10:45
a. m. Palm Sunday service, April
18. Rev. B. N. Moore eloquently
and vividly described in his sermon,
Christ's triumphant entry into Jeru-
salem. He said many people wanted
to see Jesus because of the miracles
he had performed, their interest
further excited by the acclaim of
the shouting multitude, moved as
are most people by the manifesto
tion of power and popularity, prov
ing how prone mankind is to put
emphasis on outward show. Mrs.
Betty Lewis, her daughter, Jean
nette Petiford, and Mrs. Ella May
Browning joined church.
Many visitors were in the audi
ence. Palms decked the altar, strips
were distributed to the congrega-
