And It was the third hour, and
they crucified Him" Mark 1928,
was the text Rev. jerome Del
Pino's theme entitled Satisfying
Public Demand" There are many
of us who try so desperately hard
to keep up with the Joneses, run
with the pack, or whatever you
like to cali it, that we do not take
time to consider whether our ac-
lions are right or wrong; we find
it far easier to follow the line of
least resistance, with total dis
regard for the law.
What is the law? The law is a
composite of rules which forbids
wrong doing and forces US to do
that which is right. The outlaw
has an utter disregard for any
kind of law, then there are those
who attempt to obey and enact
the law right down to the finest
detail, who consider themselves
duty-bound to compel those
around them to live just as strict
ly. Now Gods way is the Chris
tian way. He believed and also
taught us that justice should be
tempered with mercy. He impart-
ed to us the supreme law which Is
love and enables US to go beyond
the call of duty. This law of love
makes it a pleasure to make our
fellowman comfortable as well as
happy. 1t creators in us a desire
to do more and oftimes achieve
the so-called impossible" When
we fail to heed these laws of God,
we virtually commit suicide, but
when we realize the love of God
causes us to love our neighbor
instead of discriminating against
him, then we are satisfying pub
lie demand Gods way.
Visitors were Mrs. r. S. Harris,
Mrs. b. Washington of st. Paul,
Mr.. Julius Caesar of Minneapolis,

Blessings" which was highly ap-
propriate since the Thanksgiving
Season is so near at hand.
Following morning service we
had our Quarterly Conference
board meeting in the Absence of
our District Superintendent, Rev.
Del Pine officiated. In this
meeting we learned many pertin-
ent facts concerning our church,
and from the various reports read
it is amazing how much has been
accomplished these past two
quarters.
At 4 p. m. our Harvest Home"
program was scheduled. Due to
the meeting afore mentioned the
attendance was somewhat cur
tailed. However, those present en-
joyed very well planned pro-
gram. Our speaker was Rev. B.
Cassius, of Minneapolis who
brought along with him, Messrs.
]. B. Butler, Chas. Bogans, James
Neal, Daniel Lee Bogans and C..
w. Gentry, also of Minneapolis.
This group of young men are
known as the Clouds of JOY" a
new quartet under the direction
of Mr.. c. w. Gentry. This quar-
tet and the Camphor Senior choirs
supplied the music for the pro-
gram. Various members and
groups of the church brought
Thanksgiving tributes in the form
of canned goods and laid them on
the altar and a collection was
taken in order to purchase a
turkey to go along with the
Thanksgiving dinner. There were
even pumpkins so that some lus-
cious pies will be Forthcoming.
Altar donations were received
from the Wesleyan Service Guild,
Usher Board. Steward Board, SEN
ior Choir, Rev. B. Cassius, Mrs. E.
Archer. Mrs. Ducie Neal, Mrs.
Matte Neal, Mrs. Nora Ross, Mrs.
Addie Few and Mr.. c. Peoples.
This fine affair, arranged by Rev.
and Mrs. c. T. Parker was to pro-
vide our pastor and his family
with a sumptious Thanksgiving
Day dinner. Camphor Re-
