My Best Friend" was the SUBJ
ject of our minister's sermon on
Sunday June 18th at the II o'clock
service. The text of his message
was taken from Luke 1918. He
emphasized impressive thoughts in
his inspiring message: Service is
the price we pay for the space we
occupy and he who turns from the
Kingdom of God blazes a path to
ruin, foils his hopes and desecra-
ties his soul.
The Junior Choir had charge of
the music for the morning and
evening services Miss Evelyn But
Ter and Miss Anna Butler, mem
bers of ouH Junior Choir gave a
beautiful rendition of the song
To-day.
The Great Lakes Double Quar-
tette formerly with US Navy Blue
jacket Choir rendered two num-
bers
Visitors: Mrs. Lolo Mae Green
of Valdosto, Ga. and Mr.. John
Maugram student at Howard u.
School Of Divinity.

program. By giving freely as God

tremendous dividends to each of

deal in u effort to build a big
ger and better and greater st.

our responsibility to our beloved
children who are future chur-
Oh, our community and to
city. Let us leave a legacy to
these our children that they can
be proud of a completed st. Johns.
Yet, a legacy which these our
children 50 richly deserve. Give
until it hurts!
The Pastor personally thanks
the chairmen and assistants, pre-
sidents and members of the chur-
oh clubs for the splendid prepar-
alton and serving of those delic-
ious meals during the session with
the adult members and friends Of

town guests cordially welcome in
their stay in our city. st Johns
can be justly proud Of this con-
ference for it was an example of
cooperation, coordination and uni
fication of members and friends of
st. Johns.
Our officers, members and our
friends commended our Pastor and
his wife for the untiring effort put
forth in seeing that everything
