One of the worthiest but small

Rev. Hayes Assumes
Postogote AT Mt.
Pleasant Bopt. Church,

A capacity audience greeted
the Rev f. w Hayes, pastor-eleet
Of Mt Pleasant Baptist Church,
at the II o'clock service Sunday
Rev Hayes, whose initial ser
mon marked the first new pastor
in SO years, spoke from the sec
ond chapter of Galatians in
which he attributed the problems
of the world today to "the lack
of people having God in their
hearts " He explained that
where there are "lost people, :"
they must be inspired not by the
life of Christians alone but by
the teachings of the Bible.
Excerpts of the sermon follow:
"a living Christ is the only
hope for peace in the world. IN
less we have a living Christ ir
our hearts-in our church and
elseWhere-We cannot expect to
succeed. In all of the organiza-
tons which we may perfect, if
Christ is not there, there will be
40 success. For, the heart needs
Christ We need Christ in our
homes and on our jobs.
Our main objective in the
church is to save somebody. 1t
makes no difference how much
money we raise, we must save
somebody. God will bless us in
every way if we will do his bid
ding"
n the final section of his ser
mon, the Rev. Hayes called upon
the members and friends Of Mt.
Pleasant to stick together so as
to enable us to look forward to a
greater church

East End School

Success in the sale of Christ
mas Seals spurred Yvonne Mat
thews of East End School on to
make a New Years resolution to
spend the entire year of 1947
doing whatever work she can to
help others, Yvonne, a dilieent
worker in the 5A grade, sold more
than one thousand Christina
seals thus matching each year Of
age with one hundred seals. This
was accompanied by selling seals
to the members of her family,
neighbors, and visiting all of the
industrial plants near her home
where she convinced workers of
the good that each one cent seal
does toward stamping out tuber-
culosis. While making her rounds
"The Little Crusader" was high
ly praised, aided in her sale, and
given return invitations by per-
sons in charge. Such success
full job could not have been done
without faith in the cause.
Yvonne, after studying tubercu-
losis and what we can do to pre-
vent and cure it, became a firm
believer and set out to do the
good job that she did Her eff
forts aroused great interest among
her friends and classmates in the
seal sale and helped to swell the
schools total amount sold to
$4,000. For a missio naccom-
pliShed, an unmatched spirit of
cooperation, and undaunted cour-
age, Yvonne was awarded a prize
which she modestly accepted, say

girl with such a big heart

death Of Policeman Herbert Nc
Clanahan and the wounding Of
Fire Chief Buck Qualls and Po-
lice Chief N. w. Powers Sheriff
Earl Mcknight also was wounded
in the affray and a bystander
was also slightly wounded. It is
stated by members of the Haynes
family that he had been acting
funny" for several days prior to
the shooting. 1t has been
brought out that in this section
the white police officials usually
whip" all suspects when they
are dark. When the dead po-
liceman carried Haynes in the
basement for a beating, the sus-
pect snatched the pistol and pro-
ceeded to use it after he had been
beaten numerically by the po-
1iceman. Other white men came
10 the rescue of the police Off
Get and they also were wounded.
In this little section of Tennessee
white folks consider a Negro
"crazy" who hits a white man or
who refuses to permit white
man to whip him. Edmund
Haynes will be tried for murder,
probably in the next term of Cir
cult Court, which opens February
