ST. JOHNS AME CHURCH
22nd and Willis Ave.
Rev. G. B. Childress, pastor
Mason Devereau Jr., rep.

Preaching to a capacity audi
ence his last sermon on Sunday
morning Sept. 90 of this confer
nee year, our pastor lifted US to
higher mountains with his beauti-
full and heart-warming Christian
message. His text was st. Marks
11:18 his subject The Presence OF
Jesus Christ. Thoughts from his
sermon were: 1t is the quality OF
a mans heart that will be consi-
dered when he enters the kingdom
of God; a man may be in the chu-
rch 40. so, or so years but if Jesus
Christ hasn't been personalized in
his life, he can't put his hand on
Jesus and finally if a mans reli-
gion won't keep him on Monday
and Thursday, he better not trust
it on Sunday.
