ST. PETER A.M.E. CHURCH

A saddened and desolate con-
Eregation received a Spiritual in
lection when they met in their
first Sunday morning worship
service in Bryant Jr. High School
at 3Sth Street and Third Avenue
South, since the burning of his
toric old st. Peters, The master
full way in which the pastor, the
Rev. NJ. L. Simmons. young in
years, but aged in the way Of
Gods leadership, brought hope
and inspiration to a large group
whose faces told Of the common
loss they felt was plainly evident.
It was Mothers Day and the
sermon was taken from Elk. 20:l2
Honor Thy Father and thy
mother, that thy days may be
long on the land, which the Lord
thy God giveth thee. His discourse
proved that when we honor
mother and home life we are truly
laying a perfect foundation for
Earth. When mothers neglect the
the Building Of Gods Kingdom on
duty that God has placed in their
hands, the rearing Of children. we
have delinquent boys and girls.
broken homes, and a world at war.
The fishers in their new white
uniforms. injected the warmth
and friendliness of old st. Peters
into the congregation. The choir
truly brought a spiritual message
in song. Indeed the whole service
was one of inspiration and OF
looking to the future with greater
hope and more Of a certainty than
ever OF the new church that In now
a must on our Calendar Of events
to come.
II was further evidenced in the
meeting Of the Building Commit
tee and heads Of Clubs and organi-
cations that met at the parsonage
promptly at $50. Enthusiasm ran
high, as many things were ironed
out and a method Of planning and
working together was reached.
The minister told OF Mrs. Winona
Mimms. who, on leaving the city
to make her home in Omaha,
Nebraska had given 800 to the
Building Fund. Mt. Olivet Luther
an church was the first church TO
donate 500, and thirty bibles
were presented by a person who
didn't wish to be identified. II
was no wonder that one member
of the committee said that the
breath of God came TO US with
the coming Of Rev. Simmons.
The annual Mothers Day pro-
gram under the supervision of
Mrs. Halle Ewing was, as usual,
q beautiful and dignified affair
Miss Connee Chivers was general
chairman and made all Of us
proud of her, especially in her
performance of the piano and or
gan duet with Mr.. Stanley Avery,
now of McPhAil School of Music.
Her goal as concert pianist seems
to be coming more of a reality
each day. Miss Doris Grigsby was
guest soloist and did a beautiful
Job. The Cantinos. the Youth
Group and the new Junior Choir
under Mrs. Bessie Hughes all gave
a good account Of themselves.
Miss Ella Rowan read a paper on
Mother and Mrs. Stanley Avery
was guest organist and gave US
some fundamentals In harmony
from the old masters. The Young
Mothers club, Mrs Shirley Wade,
president, served tea afterward

President Truman will be q can

Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the

His prediction. he said, is based
on "cold reason"
The Democrats cannot be ex-

President Truman because of his

Extolling that record, he summed
it up by saying that Mr.. Truman

resembles very closely the baneful

Turban snails, as far as is known,

Cats Eyes.

Many Of our boys brought back
with them from the Pacific coral is
lands gems known as "cat's eyes. :"
They are the back doors of the
Jurban shell (Turbo petholatus) or
sea snail. These are cut and pol
ished and made into beautiful neck
laces, bracelets, rings and cuff links
Some beauties have been picked
upon the beach at Heron Island in
the Great Barrier Reef off Queens
land, Australia. The very best ones
are of a deep, rich color all over.
No two are identical, yet all have a
certain internal corkscrew-like pat
tern. This spiral pattern is record
of the cat's-eye spiral development.
The color bands have their origin
in the deeper levels near the inner
surface, on which the spiral design
can easily be seen. 1t Is possible
some of the pigment cells of this
inner surface have had their yellow,
red, brown, or blue secretions
squeezed out by the hardening of
the stony lRyers.
When the turban shell is Creep
ing, the whole shell rides on the
animals solitary foot. If anything
touches 1t, there are a bundle of
muscles which are wound around
the axil core of the shell that
quickly pull in the snail's head. The
last part to disappear is the rear end
of the foot bearing the trap-door.
This trap door rolls over with the
foot itself and locks the opening,
displaying the cats eye.
This eye glows In the dark recesses
