st. James A. M. E. Church News:
Last Sunday the Rev. W. E. Buy,
presiding elder, brought a very
meditating message taken from
Judges, IL: 80 and 35 verses. "Fore
I have opened my mouth unto the
Lord and I cannot turn back" He
stated Jepthah avowed a VOW unto
the Lord, that if he would give him
victory in war over his enemy, the
first person that came forth to meet
him when he returned, he would
offer as a burnt offering to the
Lord" And it so happened that the
first to meet him was his daugh-
ter and only child, but because he
had made vow he gave her up.
"Vows are sacred and how many
of US would keep them like Jep-
thah?"

Museum Story
Hour Program

The last film in the series on
South and Central America, pre-
sented as part of the features Of
Saturday Story Hours at the Wash
ington County Museum Of Fine Arts
this season, will be shown in the
auditorium of the local Museum on
Saturday morning at 1890 o'clock.
The film is entitled: Our Neigh
bors Down the Road" and is shown
in Hagerstown through the courtesy
of the Coordinator of lnter-Ameri-
can Affairs. This four reel koda-
chome- with sound film records one
of the longest, and surely one of the
most fascinating, auto trips ever
made: from Caracas (at the north
ern tip of South America) to Magal-
lanes (almost at the Straits of
Magallan), much of il on the new
Pan-American Highway Here, in
this dramatic account of the Paul
Pleiss-Herbert Lanlses expedition,
we see both South Americas. The
South America the tourist knows,
with its gay capitals, and that other
South America, much of it still in
accessible to the casual traveller.
This South America includes farms
older than the Spanish Conquest
and roads the Ineas trod. The film
is the story of an important and
tremendously exciting expedition.
All boys and girls of Hagerstown
and Washington County, their
friends and relatives, are cordially
invited to be present.
