PEOPLES BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. r MI Owens Pastnr


At the morning service, last
Sunday, the Pastor preached to
the usual, full auditorium, EN-.
phasizing the fact that your ale
tar is not a fixed spot, but carr
ried around in your heart. At
night, he spoke of the fallacy
Of men thinking that they own
anything, or that they ever do
anything of themselves, ascrib-
all to God, without Whom they
are powerleSs. The Holy Com
munion was served at the close
of the morning strvice. The
Choir rendered excellent music
at both services.
Much preparation is being
made for the home coming Sun
day, the 14tll, when shut-in
members will be brought to the
Church to participate in all-day
activities, including the serving
of a turkey dinner.

being taught even by masters.
The secret of doing it well is
only learned by those who write
and then write some more, and
never tire Of the discipline Of
recasting and polishing.
Furthermore, a Writer'S Club
serves as a mirror to reflect your
image as a writer. There seems
always to be blind spot in every
writer's eye. Where he fails to
see, other writer's will. The best
portion Of a Writer'S Club is the
hour when you take out your
manuscript and share it with
others for their honest ctiti-
cism. Reading manuscripts to
your family or friends may be
unrewarding, but reading manu-
scripts when shared with kin
dred spirits in the love of writ
ing is always qlickening.
Often when the writer has run
out of ideas and his own efforts
at writing produce only some
thing stale and nat, a fellow
writer will fill your cistern with
ideas, and encourage you to
make a new start. 1t is always
heartening to know that others
struggle and wait and hope as
well as yourself. A hit of the
markets bulls eye now and then
by some member will encourage
you to keep heart and keep on
keeping on. II nothing more it
viii give you an avocation which
will have enriched your soul.
Boston has one writer's club
which was started by Eugene
Gordon. 1t has had in its mem
bership Waring Quincy, Gertrude
McBIown, Toki Schalk johnson,
and Dorothy West, all of whom
have made contributions. This
Quill Club meets mcnthly and
welcomes into its membership
all who show genuine interest
and aptitude in writing. It's
membership is small but con-
genial, and capable of giving any
kind of manuscript constructive
criticism. Miss Alvira Hazard
is its president. She lives at

Presidents Roosevelt and Tru-

recent Republican presidents.
THE SOUTH which has dom
mated the Democratic Party for
too many years has now been
correctly sized-up by the 1948
Election returns. Mr.. Truman

President didn't need the south.
This fact promises many new
developments in the Democratic
Party.
FOR EXAMPLE, the many
Congressional and committee APP
pointments need no longer rest
upon the whims OF the getlemen
from Dixie. If anything, the
Congressman from the south
owe a great debt to colored
voters for saving their party and
consequently theil jobs. South
ernerS have changed their ways
before. We expecs southrners to

the music that appeals to the

4o Firemen Overcome
In Columbus Brewery Blaze
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. o.
Smoke and fumes from fire in a
sub-basement Of the old Columbus
Brewery overcame 49 f1remen yes
terday. Two others were injured.
The blaze broke out among some
81, 900 discarded beer cases stacked
in the 25-foot-deep basement of the
old building, now owned by August
Wagner Breweries, Inc. Only one
door led into the concrete-walled
vault.
Although damage was estimated
at only $1,010, f1remen equipped with
gas masks said the blaze was one Of
the worst in several years to combat.
Its cause was undetermined.
"Ihe peculiar thing was that the
men didn't pass out until they had
come out of the basement and taken
two or three breaths Of fresh air."
District Chief Samuel H. Zaayer re-
lated. Then they seemed to take
about three steps and keel over"
Chief Zaayer theorized that pitch
in the old beer cases produced al
coholic fumes which poisoned the
fire fighters.
