DIT. Elks Worship
At Bethel Church
BY DIT. EsTELLE BROWN

SUNDAY was one Oh utlG BIcdlcot
events In the lives Of the Daugh-
ter Elks Of Greater Miami Temple
No. 769, and probably In the lives
Of many others who went to the
large, beautiful church to wor-
ship. Past daughter rulers and
subordinate daughters, led by the
district deputy, filed the first
four seats. Presiding Elder Coffee
preached a sermon that caused
the fire to burn in the hearts Of
men, an there were sobs and
shouts as we rejoiced In the God
Of our salvation. The pastor, Rev.
j. B. Blackwell, called for those
who needed prayer to come and
bow. The deputy and many
daughters knelt at the altar. This
event in our temple must be the
greatest In our history. We learn
ed that at the same time Temple
No. 724 was worshipping at st.
James ANNE Church, Liberty City.
