ST. PETERS A.M.E. CHURCH

Very few, who really listened
to the message on Sunday last,
have asked themselves the ques-
ton - Am ] q Good Neighbor or
am / one of those who go in
crowds, but live in compartments;
or am / one who has moved in
the realm of self sufficiency but
out on the limb of despair? Such
was the force and Thickness of
the Sermon on last Sunday by the
Rev. M. l.. Simmons, who used as
his subject, Who Is My Neigh
bor", based on the scriptural
passage taken from Matthew 10;
1884. It is true that we've al
most reached our zenith in
scientific and material know
ledge, but we've made vary little
progress in human relations.
Said Rev. Simmons-"The rich
young ruler who came to Jesus
was a strategist; he came to
Jesus to find a formula for life;
Jesus did not give him a new
set of rules, but told him to apply
what he already had. Instead of
answering his question, " Who Is
My Neighbor', Jesus told him the
very familiar and well known
story of the Good Samaritan. In
examining ourselves, we all fall
short of being good neighbors in
the eyes of God. Better Neigh
bors Make Better Cities; Better
Cities Make Better Countries and
Better Countries Lessen the
Cause for Korean Wars. Let's
learn to be better neighbors.
The closing Quarterly Confer
ence of the year was held on last
Tuesday evening with the Pre-
siding Elder, the Rev. James Dix
on presiding. Reports showed a
marvellous work done this year
by the membership under the
dynamic leadership of the pastor
and wife, the Rev. and Mrs. NJ.
l.. Simmons. Look on page four
of your last Sundays Bulletin and
read the complete financial report
for the last quarter.
If you've kept the other quar-
terly bulletins you will be a bet
ter informed member of your
church as to where the money
you've contributed has been
spent. This tabulation represents
hours of labor and thought on the
| part of the pastor. Let's think of
this great service as he prepares
to go to Conference and make
his report. Mrs. Allie Wilson is
also rendering a great service in
printing the bulletin each week.
Wanted so Women for the
All Women's Chorus on Womens
Day, August 9th. Call Mrs.
Dorothy Sims, music chairman at
once. RE. 67S9.
All Women should be identified
in some special way on that day.
Call me at PA. 1886 or Mrs. Edith
Bowman, 10. 3045 and say what
you can do best. 1t might be
telephoning a friend and inviting
them, or bringing some one who
could not get there if you didn't;
or it might be calling a friend or
old member and getting a dona-
ton. There are many committees
on which you might serve, let us
know what you will do, We need
your help.

accepts. One speaker in the fam
lily is enough, she says, although
she was a high school teacher be-
fore marriage and could easily
speak well. Her hobby Is reading
and she concentrates on raising
her family of three. Mrs. Bunche
works In the U. N. Guild which
make baby clothes for CARE.
DR. Bunche's favorite foods are
bacon and eggs, and Mrs. Bunche
says that he can eat them any
time Of day. He always toasts his
bread, His only beverage Is milk.
He eats no breakfast but has a
glass OF orange Juice, DIR. Bunche
rises about 8 a. m. due TO his
vast amount Of night reading and
study. He arrives home as a rule
not before 1880 to o p. m. from
his U. N. work. Ralph's favorite
sports are basketball, baseball,
football and fishing. He also likes
the theatre.
Their governess, Mrs. Houston,
has been with them almost con-
tinuously since Jane, now II, was
five. Mrs. Houston enjoys coffee
and she was pleased that we
could stop to see her for she
said, Il like to drink coffee just
like you do back in Minnesota"
The Bunche family lives at
Parkway Village near the u. N.
where there are 81 nationalities
represented. Good relationships
are the rule and 1t really is like a
little UN. The Bunche family
like New York much better than
Washington because of the much
greater absence of discrimination
You can truthfully say that the
Ralph Bunche family is a typical
American family with all the
variety in point of view and ex-
citing experiences, and all the
wholesome living that makes for
the tradition of our American
heritage.

PILGRIM REST CHURCH

At the Sunday morning wor-
ship hour, Rev. Joseph Jackson
delivered a message on the sub
ject Christian Character" The
text was taken from Colossians
3:14, which reads-"above all
these things put on charity,
which is the bond of perfectness."
This is an extraction from
Pauls letter to the Colossians in
which he exhorts them to be
heavenly-minded.
We were told that we mustn't
discard the evil habits which can
so easily dominate our lives and
let Jesus live in our hearts, for
it is His presence in our lives
which wonderfully enriches our
character and makes our testi-
mony fruitful.
During the recent annual con-
vention of the South
Dakota Baptist Association, the
president of our missionary So
ciety, Mrs. Mabel Pierson, was
crowned queen during the aux
iliary's candle-light service.

ing the president of the Pilgrim

reported by the various churches

not believe that any attempts on

to the satisfaction Of the intelli-

the Democrats with all their pat

good on their glib promises on

II cannot understand how any

can continue to encourage his
people to vote the Democrat tic

have suffered at the hands Of the
