OF Israel, can I not do with you
as this potter has done" says the
Lord. Behold, like the clay in
the potter's hand, so are you in
my hand, o house of Israel"
Some of the take home"
thoughts were--Just as clay is in
the hand of the potter, so man Is
in the hands of God. Man is free,
but he has limitations he cannot
pass. God in divers means is GO
ing to bring this nation to Him
self. Human beings must make
themselves pliable to the VIII of
God. 1t was a great message and
we'll received by the large audi
ence present.
For quite some time now this
column has been silent, but that is
no sign that there are no activ-
ties taking place, and Their are
many more in the offing. The

revitalized by the pastor is pro-
wing quite beneficial. Putting your

help to the committee.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH OF
GOD IN CHRIST

We bring you holy greetings
from ST. Paufs Church Of God In
Christ at 10th st. and Fourth Av
S. Rev. J. c. Virgins, the pastor,
brought us a stirring message
Sunday, May 20, on the realness
Of Christianity. His subject was,
Il press toward the mark for the
prize of a high calling in Christ
Jesus" This subject was taken
from the Book of PHILIPPIANS con-
corning a letter written by Paul
to the Philipian church.
Paul was exhorting the Chris
tons there to strive for the prize
which is Christ. Not only to the
Philipian church, but to the
Christian world today, IL should
be our foremost goal in life to
strive for the prize, which is in
Christ who is the prize, Jesus
Christ the perfect example of
humanity.
He possessed every perfect
characteristic; He manifested the
love of John, the patience of Job,
the faithfulness of Abraham and
Elijah, wisdom of Solomon and
the power of Peter. Let us
strive to be thus reminded and ac-
quire the Christlike Characters
tics. The standard of a Christian
is measured by our character.
Character is what we really are
reputation is what people think
we are.-Dorothy Nolen, reporter.
