Rev. E. 3. Chiloress
Mason M. Devereaux, Jr., Reporter


Rev. c. L. Long of Gregg Cha
pei AME in st. Louis was the
guest speaker for the IL O'Clock
services. He chose as his subject
of the day, Prayer that Rocks
| the Rocks the World" Using as
| his text for his ~expedient mess
age, eighth chapter of Romans,
26th verse. His well chosen
thoughts were as follows: When
a lar is in touch with God, his
grandstand play is over; Man
must include the Holy Trinity in
his prayer 1.-THE Father, Son, and
the Holy Ghost); a sincere earn
est prayer will rock the world,
selfish prayr will not do it.
