CHURCHES

NsOHbHt"Su lfOHg WgS ~
During the last twenty-five
years several important church
changes took place. Fourth
Methodist, under DR.. o. B.
Quick, started a new structure
on Shawmut Ave, Old Charles
st. A. M. E. Church left the his
toric building on Charles ST.,
down town and moved to the
stone editice at Warren st. and
Elm Hill Avenue, Roxbury; st,
Bartho'omew's, in Cambridge,
changed to its commodious
structure; Concord Baptist
Church, under the guidance of
Rev A ] Spratley, entered It's
new location; and st CypriaiIs,
under Rev D Leroy Ferguson,
erected its beautiful and finely
located structure on fremont
st. Two churches have estab-
lished useful social centers, st
Marks in Roxbury and Eben-
ezer in the South End.
During this period several
aourishing missions were or
ganized and are serving the
communities where they are
located. Chief among them are
Moore Tabernacle ANIE Church
on Columbus ave and Bethel
Baptist on Shawmut ave under
the direction of Rev. J E Jeltz.
Others are doing excellent
work.
Among the outstanding
achievements of Boston church
es is the liquidation of long
standing debts by some of the
more prominent congregations.
Among these are Charles ST.
AME, Columbus Avenue ANIE
Zion Ebenezer Baptist, 18th

and The Seventh Day Advent

have been made on the church

/ The colored ministers Of Bos-
ton have a very effective and
influential organization, known
1 as the Ministers Interdenomin-
ational Alliance. This body was
organized many years ago by
the erudite DR. D P Roberts ID
pastor at Old Charles st
Church. 1t takes an active in
terest in religious, social and
civic matters. Among its recent
undertakings is the work of the
committee in the city Juvenile

Charles Gopher: secretary, Rev
S Huddleston; treasurer. Rev S
L LaviScount and chairman OF

H Hester. Rev M J Minor heads
the important juvenile court
committee.
The colored churches have
several helpful and much cher
ished cooperative movements
They are Union Good Friday
services, Union Thanksgiving
services, a New Years Emanc-
ipation Day celebration service
and other meetings where
needed. Also the churcheS CO.

there are others, including some

Company. The PROPAGANDA
these men are spreading against
Jews, Catholics and colored is as
harmless" as Hitlers early tao

THE OLD YEAR, toward the

Bilbo and Byrnes held the

q. result Of my comment of Dec.
IA when I referred to the au-
ditioning program of the Great
or Boston Guild of Organists
and Directors. The comment
was not official; just a bit of
gossip let out from one of the
Guild meetings. I have been
the subject Of a storm of pro-
test over the thought Of old,
charter members having to
take an addition to stay in the
Chorus and I admonish all
members to forget what
wrote wait for official notice
III any comes and continue
to pull and cooperate for the
success Of the Chorus. Time
enough for you to squawk #,
and when, you get an official
notice to appear for addition.
There may be nothing to it.
