PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH

The Sunday service was led in
its usual fine manner by Rev,
Massey.
Rev. Massey spoke from the
topic, What To Do With The
Child" It was taken from Judges
1912. In his sermon, Rev. Massey
brought out the fact that three
things are important in bringing
child up right. These three
things are home, church and
school. The home will give the
child a conception of God and de-
velop a habit of coming to church,
the school is a melting pot, and
very few people, who have had
any connection with the church
really forsake it.
The children's story was sub
stituted for a children's prayer.
Visitors for the morning were
Richard Klund, Betty NJ. Carlson
and Betty Stiendorff, all of Still
water, MINI. Mr. and Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Sylvia Tyure of st. Paul.
The children's program was
very good and showed much pre-.
paration.
The evening service also was
very good and showed much pre-.
paratiOn and concentration.
Coming events for Pilgrim are
very fine, and everyone should
plan to attend at least one of the
| services.

After Boynton's resignation, he
spent the rest Of his life writing
books on Theology.
Boynton Died in 1888 leaving
five children, William, Charles,
Henry, Mary and Anna.
Henry became a general in the
army and was later in charge of
laying out the National Parks
throughout the United States.
Charles, a prominent newspaper
man, was head Of the Southern
Division Of the Associated Press
Anna, MRS. SCOTS mother
married Horace Lockwood. Anna
Boynton Lockwood didn't live long
after her child, Maria Louise, was
born. Maria Louise was raised BY
her uncle, General Henry Bpyn-
ton. She graduated from Hannah
More Academy, Eastman Bust
ness College, and attended Mac
Donald Ellis Finishing school. 1t
was in the home of her uncle that
Maria Louise met her future hus-
band, Harry Scott.
Mr. Scott was then a student
at Howard University. Hand
some, aggressive Harry was
working his way through col
lege earning extra money by
serving meals 10 well-tO-do
white families.
From their first meeting, he
was conscious of the lovely Maria
Louise. He admired her secretly
as she played the piano and NOV
ed about the house. Harry was de-
termined to impress her. And ne
did. BY the time he graduated
they were planning 10 be married.
Mr.. Scott received a job in Buff
falo. N. Y, and enrolled in the law
school there. Soon Maria Joined
him and they honeymooned at
Niagara Falls.
In 1918 with law degree and
two children, Dorothy and

all races, trouble and lots Of it,
began for Boynton.
Biased whites, members and
non-members Of his church, put
terrific pressure on DR.. Boynton
for two reasons. First: For being
president of a college where Ne
groes were welcomed. Second:
Allowing Negroes to attend and
join his church, which was at that
time, the largest and most ex-
elusive in d. c. The dissension
finally split the church and
brought about DIR. Boynton's re-
signation as president of the Uni
versity and as pastor Of the
church.
Boynton maintained that
American civilization needed the
contribution which the American
Negro alone could offer. In one of
Boynton's sermons on race rela-
lions he said, II am no believer in
the inferiority Of the colored race.
They are different from the white
man, they have a strongly marked
individuality and capabilities Of
their own, but that does not prove
them inferior. It is by no means a
settled fact that the Caucasian
race is the perfect standard by
which all others are TO be measur-
ed and pronounced good or bad
accordingly as they resemble
them.
Moses and the prophets, David
and Solomon, Paul and the Apos-
ties, Christ himself were not
Caucasians God has made no
mistake in creating the black
race. Their traits were stamped
upon them by the sans love and
same wisdom which made the
white man what he is, and in the
perfecting Of the human nature
the African civilization may yet
play as important a part 40 that
Of any other.
They may give us orators,
poets, musicians. artists, preach
ers, nay men and women in every
walk Of life that will be equal to
the foremost My first advice
then to the black men would be,
be not ashamed Of your race or
color. Dare to be a black man, and
accept the position that God has
assigned you, and do not believe
that II is an inferior or degrading

Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta
fought for the middleweight
championship of the world, We'd
nesday night, they also tossed in
a few punches for democracy.
The Voice of America covered
the fight for the benefit of Italy.
The Voice made a tape record
ing which will be edited, then
sent to Italy.
Mike Bongiorno did a blow-by-
blow description of the fight in
Italian. He also interviewed both
fighters and their wives. He
translated what they said into
Italian for his audience.
This broadcast, he said, is be-
ing carried to Italy because La
Motta is an Italian and possibly
even more because Robinson is
scheduled to fight there this
spring or summer.
Robinson is very popular in
Italy especially after his recent
trip to Europe. His anti-Com-
munist statements endeared him
to many freedom-loving Italians,
according to the Voice.
The radio-cast will be relayed
to radio stations throughout Italy.

that Eddie Plique, the man who
