Observations

Z
Tomorrow is the day of big
doings in Berea Seventh Day
Adventist Church, 712 Shawmut
Avenue, promptly at 4 PM. My
experience taught me that the
programs at that church are
among the finest. In the first
place, they always started on
time, and you know I'm nut"
on punctuality. Then, their pro
grams were all of the highest
order, and thegeneral vibrations
of courtesy and welcome make
them outstanding. More of the
program has been released, and
I give you what l have, and see
if you don't make this concert
must. The feature attraction
is, of course, the so voice choir
of Peoples Baptist Church, Flor
ence Heggie Taylor, Director,
Villa mSlater, Organist, Har-
oldine Tyler, Pianist, Henry
Stubbs, President. Then there
will be Ina Braithwaite, Violin
ist, Maurice Small, Organist, and
your humble servant will be per-
mitted to give a reading. Edith
Kinds is in charge of the COM
mittee, and E. A. Lockett is
Pastor. am expecting a Won
derful time. See you there.
Having had some observation
of the activities in St. Mark
Center, do not hesitate to re-
commend the coming program, o.
two playlets, which will bt
staged at 4:30 Sunday. March
by the St. Mark Vacation School
Auxiliary. Knowing the abilities
and methods of the co-managers
as I do, l believe that the per-
| formance cannot fail to be in
teresting. Take a look at the ad
on another page and know the
sponsors.

Church, Thursday, March 90
should turn out to be fountain
of instruction. All of the act
ivities will be based upon facts
known to persons who know
rather. than persons who get all
from books. The musical pro-
gram looks tempting. Possibly
some folks will be interested in
the full course turkey dinner,
too. (See adv.)
I have been so happy since ]
stopped trying to undo the past,
that l wish that everyone would
try it, too. 1t is obvious to me
that many persons habitually
harp upon unpleasant events,
nag, find fault in everything they
| see and hear. l believe in being
as near fit to live with as pos
sible, but when a mistake is
once made, either in word or
deed, it ceases to have any value
except as a warning to avoid its
repetition. Think of all the
pleasant and admirable events,
words and deeds which we can
amplify and enjoy. Cease to
worry. take plenty of exercise
and, above ALL realize that the
entire universe is controlled by
I Divine Wisdom. and He doeth all
/ things well. The universe is in
more capable control than any
human, or group Of human;
could exert, although some folk;
know do not appear to think so
The past isgone forever; the fu-
ture is ahead Of us.
