despite the crisp air, the IL am.
service was a blessing. Pastor b.
c. Cassius chose for his subject,
Jesus Is the Answer" taking his
scripture reference from Mark
Sis.
Our pastor proved three points:
first, that Jesus must do some
thing to US; second, Jesus must
do something within US and third,
Jesus must do something with US.
Jesus was the answer to the man
in the scripture lesson and so he
win be to all who submit them

Liberia to seek his advice and

No Ghann---LIberia Rivalry
Rumors sprang up quickly that
Ghana had not welcomed the early
visit Of the Guinea head TO LIB
eria because they felt Ghana had
been the first nation 10 recognize
Guinea as a sovereign state and
should be the first to advise.
President Tubman Of Liberia, rec
ognized as one Of the wisest and
most profound statesmen on the
African continent, scotched this
idea Immediately.
There are no rivalries between
Ghana and liberia, at least none
which I know about" said Presi-
dent Tubman. "Kwame Nlrumah
and I are the very best Of friends
We address one another in our
frequent letters as 'Shad' and

rivalries in West Africa. We must
all be friendly and seek to secure

on OF the queries which officials
make is why II is that with all the
far-eastern countries recognizing
Guinea so quickly, that the United
States and Great Britain have
been dragging their feet. U, s. sent
its eonsul-general, Donald Du-
mont from Dakar, an expert on
African affairs with many years
in the state Department, down to
call on Premier Toure and COM
fort him with some honeyed phras-
es.
These are hoped. II is assumed,
to calm Guinea's disappointment
despite the glaring fact that Rus
STA and all her eastern satellites
burned the airways offering con-
gratulations and recognition as
soon as Guinea had announced in
dependence.
The assumption Is that the I'm
tied States win recognize Guinea
after Frances temper has had a
chance TO cool off bit, otherwise
Russia win represent a threat.
