st. James A.M.E. church con-
tinued to prosper on the east-side
after its founding in 1869. In o
few years the town of st. Anthony
Falls was renamed Minneapolis,
The business district shifted
from the southeast side across the
river to the south central part OF
the new city. The east-side along
Main St. and the river front was
unable to furnish sufficient en-
ployment to support the growing
Negro population. Across the riv-
er there was more work to be had
and many of the families began
to move and settle in the more
thriving part of the city.
With the movement Of popula-
ton the site of st. James on First
Ave. no longer was convenient to
the bulk Of its members.
When Rev. J. King assumed the
pastorate the old property near
the Exposition Building (present
site Of new Coca-C Cola building)
was abandoned. The congrega-
ton moved to a store front on
Fifth Ave. So. and Fourth St.
where it worshipped for a num-
Der Of years.
During this same period st
Peters A.M.E. church was organ
lied out Of a Sunday school
founded by John Neal, father Of
w. Squire and John Neal.
In 1892 a young ambitious pas
tor, Rev. D. f. Butler, came to st
James and found a congregation
which had once worshipped in I
commodious edifice crowded int
a store front,
The old property on the east
side was sold. With the aSsistanc,
of generous white citizens tn
congregation bought a lot a
Eighth Ave. So. and Fourth st.
brick structure was built. In tn
basement there were facilities 70
the young people and the churcl
was well equipped to carry on
the work of a social church.
At this time, though there wer
other Negro churches, st. Jane
was easily the leading church

liable in the civic, social, moral, in
tellectual and spiritual develop
ment of the city

They are precious papers and likely

Be honest about them. I have
known mothers-anxious to get
their children into school early so
they will be very, very bright indeed
to borrow another child's certifi-
cate, with a helpful date on it, or
alter the date on the childs own
certificate. That results in trouble
for the child later on. 1t did dur
ing the First World War.
Some mothers had represented
their children as one year or two
years older than they were. When
the Draft Board asked for their
birth certificates, the boys appeared
older than they actually were. Then
the mothers asked to have the dates
on the certificates altered, and that
we could not do. 1t is always best,

Here's an added tip. These plastic

on to the certificates SO that the
vaccinations will not have to be re.

states the words successfully vac

are always important. but they are
especially so for admission to public

And, when entering child in
school, be accurate about his birth

cate which says that the boys name
is Seth Stevens, and tell him that
you changed his name to Stevens
from Stephinson because you liked
it better and thought it might help
him get into the movies. The clerk
won't like that because the law will
not permit him to change the name
on that certificate. If you have
changed the child's name, have it
recorded and his birth certificate
corrected. Birth certificates are

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

In interviewing women who work
for one of our large oil companies
had difficulty finding one who was
tired at '>e end of the day.
I expected them to say that they
always rested for at least a half
hour upon returning home. To the
contrary, most of them found that
the change of pace between home
and business was exciting.
In all fairness must report that
my first interview was with a
young woman who has been married
only a few months. However, I
think her viewpoint holds the germ
of many important factors in max
ing marriage and career work.
She said, Il have found a little
difficulty in making my typewriter
and kitchen stove blend, but it's
fun. I find that I simply have to
learn to do things faster than I did
before, and it seems that the buster
I am the more I can do. I used to
spend every Saturday morning in a
beauty parlor having my nails and
hair done, but now I cannot afford
that time and I do them myself"
This young woman is athletic
director for the company club,
which is one of the most effective
organizations I have run into. She
loves sports and admits that she is
doing less of that than she used to-.
However, she says, Il will organize
my household duties just as I do
those at my Office, and If I find that
health and exercise are suffering, I
will sit down and work out a plan
just as I do with my work when it
piles up on me. I will allow neither
my work nor my home to suffer
neglect"
I will predict that if this efficient
and vibrant young woman finds she
hasn't time for golf or tennis any
more. you will see her striding to
and from work.
