ST. JOHNS AME CHURCH
22nd and Willis Ave.
Reverend z. B. Chilldress
Mason Devereaux Jr., reporter
st. Johns Howell's on Howell
Sunday" Sept. s with one of it's
most successful spiritual services
of this conference year. The mems
chorus under the direction of H.
l.. Preston did themselves more
than proud in rendering the more
than heart-warming Christian
songs on this occasion. The con-
gregation that filled the church
showed appreciation of the many
men for this fine service of the day
was reverberated throughout the
church auditorium.
Our minister was at his best; de
l1vering as usual of his inspir-
ing and soul stirring messages.
Taking as his text Matt. 1928 his
subject being MY soul is exceed
ingly sorrowful". Thoughts from
this sermon are: Victory comes
thru faith; whenever a man does
the will of God with or without the
approval of the world he is victor
ious; God can't use a man unless
he lends his hand that God might
S it as an instrument; if a man
or woman doesn't give to God or
do the work assigned to him or her
God will move that man or wo-
man and raise another who will
do what should have been done,
and finally, do as He pleases but
in the final analysis he must ack-
nowledge that Gods way is very
STRAIGHT. Rev. John Adams, pre-
sidino elder of the Kansas CITY
district delivered the morning SER
mon. Visitors Mrs. r. Maxwell; Mr.
Roosevelt Cawthorne; Mrs. and
Mrs. Jake Smith, Dallas, Texas;
Mrs. Carrie BroWnlee, Oakland;
