Easter Sunday, tomorrow, will
be observed at Shiloh an dat Dug
ger Park, as is now a fine annual
custom. Pastor Daniel w. VIM
will conduct his first Easter Bap-
tisms as our new pastor and he
will deliver his first Shiloh Easter
Sermon which we now predict
will be one of the best and, with
out doubt, before a capacity con-
gregation The Shiloh Baptismal
Pool which today features paint
ings contributed by the Parham
family, long time workers in the
church, will be opened tomorrow
in memory as Miss Nancy
Lassiter and Mr.. William Patrick
join the church. During the day
the Sunday school will also OBJ
serve appropriate exercises.
Easter baptisms will also in
clude four boys, all members of
the Boys Club and Cadets. They
expressed their intent on Sun
day School Decision Day last
week. The boys are Alexander
Henderson, Jr., Franklin Taylor,
Jr.; Arthur Thompson and Ralph
Banks, Jr. The Pastors wife, Mrs.
Lillian Wynn, will have charge
of the Shiloh Easter Pageant
which will begin at 7:50 pm.
and will be in pantomime.
Easter Sunrise Services at 6
am. will precede the church SER
vices as usual; awakening wor-
shippers early for a brief spirited
program, sending them home to
hot breakfast before they at
tend church. Former us. Army
chaplain, Cajah w. Howell of St.
Louis who spent Fl months in
Europe, will deliver the SSunrise
sermon, the fourth annual event
sponsored by the Center Girl
Scouts and initiated by Miss Yer
onica Lanier. Assisted by the
Center Cadets, the program will
feature beautiful recorded Eas-
ter music including songs by Mar
ian Anderson Bling Crosby, Mel.
son Eddy and the Fred Warine
Chorus. Miss Eunice M. Harris
CORTLAND Digger, and Al
Kountze, Jr. will assist with in.
strumental music. The public
is invited.
The Friends, a student Regional
group of Quakers have, kindly
volunteered to aid the Centel
even to the extent of painting anc
building and the establishment O
a Workshop here. All they ash
is a cordial welcome, for their as.
sistance. The Friends will aic
projects already begun they dc
not head projects but merely try
to assist community leaders OF
the projects. This helpful serv-
ice will continue for a few
months as part of the Friends
goodwill training and will large
ly be devoted to Saturday after
moons and evenings. 1t is a
grand gesture. And Shiloh has
more firmly joined the Medford
Council of Churches, an inter-
racial group. Mr.. Arthur LASH
ter, the active Counsellor, rep
resenting Shiloh in the union is
doing a great job showing the
talents of the Shiloh group. At a
recent meeting, Miss Gloria Bos-
field of Shiloh was elected Med
ford Church Youth Council secre-
tary. Harold Phillips was named
on the Nominating committee.
They are the only colored Off
GERS and committee members. But
others will be added. Also Shiloh
is expected to place a team or
teams in the Medford Church
Bowling League next season,
Spring Concert
The annual Spring Concert
sponsored by the Lend-A- Hand
Club last Sunday was a happy
success enjoyed by a large appre-
ciative audience. So outstanding
was each artist that encores
were the rule, rather than the ex-
ception. It will be a long time
before Medford music lovers
thrill to greater performance of
N Y. soprano Bernice Edwards;
Medford's baritone, Fred Wright;
Louise Parks, reader, Boston's
gifted pianists Maybelle Fenton
Butler, and Tranas Long; not to
mention the finest instrumental
orchestra of the entire series, the
