COLUMBUS AVE.

Rev. James c. Brown,
DID,. Pastor

Last Sunday mornings serv-
ice was glorious, the pastor
speaking from text found in
the Book of Nehemiah, Sixth
Chapter, and taking as his
theme "Firmness In Our Work. .
This message was delivered
very beautifully. Everyone that
heard it found the sermon in
teresting. The message dealt
with the prophet Nehemiah
weeping over the destruction Of
Jerusalem. The people Of that
city were very wicked, thus vex-
ing God so that He Just gave
up and let destruction come
upon them. Nehemiah, being a
Godfearing man, prayed with
out ceasing that God would for
give them of their sins. His
prayer was not in vain. A friend
came to him in his plight. Find
ing out the trouble and hear
ing that the Walls of Jerusalem
were torn down, he offered to
| help Nehemiah rebuild the city
They set to work but before
completion of the building some
citizens came begging Nehemiah
to stop work on the walls. Nehe-
miah did not listen but KEEP
on working. "The trouble with
our churches is that too many
Of us like to tear things down
when we see people trying *
work for the Kingdom. Tot
many of us need to get on GU
knees and pray that God taxi
the devil out Of our hearts
and make US more loving ant

pastor.
Preceding the message, a sol

On our tour with Mexico as
our destination we stopped Arst
at Niagara Falls, next at Chi
cago and the third stop was
Salt Lake City, the capital of
Utah.
Here we viewed SITES known
as Beehive House, Loin House,
Eagle Gate homes of the early
settlers; and the State Cap
itol. the University of Utah
and Fort Douglas. Thence we
went to the Old Mormon Trail,
stopping briefly at the location
called This Is The Place"
How it was so named is ex-
planned as follows: The Nor
mons, as they became known
later, derived their name from
the vision Of a saint, who APP
lpeared to one Joseph Smith,
as a youth, in the state of New
York, called Palmyra, now the
County of Wayne.
Here in 1880, Joseph Smith
and his associates, from the
appearance of this vision, who
called himself Moroni, formed
the religious sect, the Latter
Day Saints. and established a
church named the Church Of
Jesus Christ. Through religious.
persecution they we're forced to-
move westward. Joseph Smith
and his brother were killed IN
one of their many struggles,
but Brigham Young, one Of his
followers, continued on, settling
here and there until finally
they reached a desert in the
Rocky Mountains, where be-
yond, lay the great Salt Lake,
a place that no one seemed to
want. Brigham Young. gazing
upon the barren valley, said,
THIS is THE PLACE"
Dancing is a major activity
among the Mormons, not only
for its social value, but also
for it's artistic merit. When the

the plains, in search Of re-
ligious freedom, they would Of.
ten pause, clearing openings in
the brush and dance under the
stars. Since that time, dancing
has been a common social fac
tor with them.
Sports, sponsored by the
Church also find a prominent
place in their activities. The
Young Mems Basketball League
is said to be the largest or
ganized athletic league in the
world.
The most prominent place in
salt Lake City is Temple Square,
with its ten-acre block, from
which all streets Of the city
are numbered, and where stands
the magnificent Mormon Tab
ernacle and Temple, which pre-
serves the history of the Nor
mons and the history of Great

University of Maryland, was the
guest speaker at the monthly
meeting of the Associated Young

Prof. Hamilton spoke on the
Outlook of Farm Prices to
Come" He said beef prices would
get more stable and gradually 60
upward. Swine prices would be
strong for the next few years as
there are fewer hogs in the coun-
try.
Prof. Hamilton said butter will
drop sharply within the next year
but the price of milk in this ter
ritory will stay high as long as
we keep our strict health regula-
tions.
