ZION BAPTIST CHURCH

We listened to a practical mes
sage Sunday morning by the as
sistant pastor, Rev E. Henderson.
His subject was: Except these
shall abide in the ship, none of
these shall be saved" Scripture
was from the 9th chapter of
Acts, the 44th verse.
Our speaker stated there are
many kinds of wrecks in life.
Sometimes it brings us great sor-
row. God is above all; nothing is
impossible with God. He holds the
reins of heaven and earth in his
hands. We so often leave God out
of our plan in life. We are all sail
ing on the sea of time and unless
we keep our hand in Gods hand,
we will be lost. We must stay on
the ship of Jesus Christ.
The music was furnished by the
combined church choruses. Visi-
tors were Mrs. N. Scott, Detroit,
Mich; Mr.. and Mrs. L. c. Will
liams, New York City; Mrs. c.
Harris, Chicago, nj; Mrs. Max
Dixie, Karen Kimberly and Wyman
Harmon of Chicago, Ill.
Remember Women's Day Sun
day, July Is. A very interesting
program is planned with an out
standing speaker, Mrs. Wreatha
Maxwell, at the IL a. m. hour.
Come and worship with us next
Sunday-Mrs. p. Moore, acting re-
porter.

Constantine Brown:
Soroievo Crime in 1914 Recalled
Both State Department and Pentoeon Are Worried
Over Assassination of Iron's Strong Nan

The Pentagon and State De-
partment are worried over the
murder Of Trans strong man,
Premier Ali Razmara.
Because of disturbed condi-
tions in North Africa and the
Middle East. the possibility is
not being discounted that the
shots fired by Gen. Razmara's
assassin may have repercussions
similar to those which followed
the killing Of Austrian Archduke
Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo
in 1914.
The assassin is said to have
acted on his own and was not
a member of any conspiratorial
group. He stated that he killed
the premier because he had not
supported naturalization of
Trans oil fields. The fact that
a man not involved in politics.
and without personal interests
in oil, committed a murder,
strongly indicates how the rank
and file Iranians feel about this
hotly contested political issue.
The Soviet propagandists for
some time have been denouncing
the Teheran governments poll
cies Of continuing to allow the
Anglo-Persian Oil Co. to exploit
the country's oil wealth. The
British have been using every
available means to retain their
old advantages. In recent weeks,
the British company and the
1ranian government renewed
their oil agreement on terms
which were far better for Iran
than they had ever been.
Yet, a large segment of the
population Of Iran felt so
strongly about the Soviet-ad-
vocated naturalization of oil
that Gen. Razmara was mur-
dered by a person who had no
personal interest in the matter.
The late premier unquestion-
ably was the ablest and strong
est man in the country. Edu-
Gated at the French Military
Academy at st. Cyr. Gen. Raz-
mara was "Western-m minded"
He believed that the future Of
his country would be better
served by close ties with the
West. But being a realist and
a good soldier he knew that he
could not balk the Russians
without serious risk to Trans
sovereignty.
The Shah's kingdom mar
rowly escaped being taken over
as a satellite of Russia in 1946
when the Russian-backed Azer-
baijanese started a revolution
