ZION BAPTIST

Sunday, November 20, was Mis-
sionary Day. The Young Women's
Auxiliary was in charge Of the
entire days program which was
well rendered. The Senior Mission
airy society was in charge Of de-
votions. Mrs. Celestia Fraction,
general president, presented the
mistress of ceremonies, Mrs. Lor-
raine Cooper, who led the con-
gregation in the Christian Women's
pledge.
Music was by the combined
choirs under the direction. of Mr..
Willie B. Hale. Mrs. Lois McFar-
land was organist and Mrs. JOS
ephine Smalley, pianist. Mrs. Jean
Pleasant read a paper entitled,
Keep the Way Clear" and Mrs.
w. B. Hale sang a special solo.
Many others participated on the
program.
Rev. H. w. Bolts ST., pastor
emeritus, introduced the pastor,
Rev. ]. r. Holloway, who brought
the message from the subject,
Gods Guided Missionaries" His
main emphasis was from the story
of Joseph, who was called the
dreamer by his brothers. One Of
the interesting points brought out
by the pastor was: You don't have
to go abroad to be a missionary
for God, but by faith in God we
can let down our bucket where
we are. His message was a chal-
lenge to everyone who works for
God and we all were inspired by
the message.
Visitors were recognized and
welcomed by the pastor.
At 3 pm. our pastor Rev. Hollo-
way, and many Zionites attended
installation services for Rev. and
Mrs. H. w. Bolts Jr. at First
New Hope Baptist church in st.
Paul, which was an inspirational
affair. We enjoyed 1t very much.
During the past week we en-
joyed the wonderful Thanksgiving
service at Zion. The church was
filled to its capacity. The MIN
isterial Alliance was In charge Of
arrangements Of the program. ut
Is a Good Thing to Give Thanks"
was the subject Of the message
brought by Rev. Holloway. the
guest speaker. His scriptural ref
erenee was from Psalm 92:1-4.
Everyone enjoyed the message.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Our morning service Sunday
November 20, was filled with in
spring events, one of which was
the Children's Story, delivered by
Miss Rita Holloman. We are al
ways happy to see our young
people display their talents in the
church.
Mr.. John Tolliver, General chair
man of the Every-Member Can
vass committee, informed us that
the canvass has been quite success
full and that the visitors were very
graciously received by the MEM
bers of Pilgrim. Our commenda-
lions go to all chairmen and vista
ton members for a job well done.
DIR. Massey spoke on the topic,
Two Brands of Hypocrites." His
text was taken from the sixth
chapter of Matthew. He classed
the hypocrites as conservatives and
radicals. One is just as bad as the
other for the conservatives take
the SELF-RIGHTEOUS attitude
that he is better than other people
simply because he is in regular
attendance at church and partici-
pates in the community socials
functions. The radical takes the
opposite stand and pretends that
he is worse than he really is. Both
are wearing masks of deception,
for none of us are as good as we
would like people to think we are,
nor is anyone as bad as the i'm
preston we sometimes give.
Three new members were re-
ceived today on the basis of their
christian experience. They are Mrs.
Clara Saunders, Mrs. Lucille Bry-
ant and Mr.. Benjamin Bryant. Mr..
and Mrs. Bryant are teachers in
the st. Paul school system.
Our concentrations go to the
BYE. for it's excellent Thanks
giving Program Sunday evening,
and to the planning committee for
the reception following the formal
installation Of Miss Hazel Murray
as Director of Christian Educa-
ton.
Next Sunday at HOO am, DR.
Massey breaches. At 8 pm. the
Social & Literary Society presents
The Hale Singers in concert. Won't
you worship with us or with the
church Of your choice?

God called Him home. 1t was His

For memory is the only thing
That grief can call its own.

and went off to fight in the War
for Democracy-which the South
ern politicians are stil trying to
deny him. Nevertheless, upon his
return home, he was installed in
his job at Rrogers and was later
selected by the union with the
blessing Of Local President Terrell
to function in his official capacity
as his assistant and Business Man
ager. Married and the father of
three children, Sam Baptist has
been an official for more than five
years with Local 9S4.
MadIIins, Long Time Employee
Another long term teamster and
employee of the Southern For
warding company is Walter Mad
lins, an over-the-road driver who
makes the regular run between
Franklin, Kentucky and Memphis.
Probably the mendacity Of Sem
ator Mcclellan and his iIk is due
to the blind spots Of their hate
for anything democratic and hum
unitarian where Negroes are con-
cerned.
Local 9S4 is only one of the
many such union locals throughout
the South where working men,
without regard to race, nationality,
or religion carry the freight and
products that serve all mankind
throughout our nation on trucks
President Terrell Welcomes
Visitors
The president of Local 984, Rich
ard A. Terrell conducts his organ
ization efficiently and successfully
like any other business man and
welcomes visitors and guests to
the locals meetings held on the
second Sunday of each month.
Perhaps many of the Southern
politicians of the Landrum, Grit.
fin, Mcclellan, and Faubus type
could be enlightened on what real
democracy is if they would take
time and spend some Of the citi,
zens, tax money allotted to them
in their expense accounts to attend
one of these union meetings. But
they would, Of course, have to use
the same drinking fountains anC
toilets"

colored.
Memphis Local Has Many NegrC
Members
Down here in Memphis, where
Negroes are as plentiful as tree
leaves in a virgin forest, Teamsters
union local 9S4 not only has Ne
groes working as warehousemen
leadmen. dock workers and the
like, but there is a multitude OF
OVERTIME Road drivers in addition
to Negroes driving locally in the
city on various types Of delivery
trucks.
The history of the trucking and
draymen's industry from the pro-
slavery days of McClellan's ances-
tors shows that Negroes have been
the backbone Of freight-handling
and hauling. Some of Memphis
best citizens-both Negro and
white-are members Of local 9S4.
KrOger Hires Negro Truck Drivers
One of the companies that has
long had Negroes driving its
trucks from Memphis to the states
of Arkansas. Missouri, Mississippi,
Alabama, and Kentucky is the
Kroger Grocery and Baking COM
pany. While there are many doing
the same thing, an example of a
long term employee is James Full
Ter, who makes all the above runs
to the various states within the
period of a month.
The membership of Transfers
Local 9S4 is more than 40 percent
Negro. and there has never been
any friction or trouble between
the races. All the members meet
in the same union hall and discuss
and eat and drink together despite
men like the Southern Senators
and Congressman who write laws
to keep the races apart. And just
like the Senate and House of Rep
resentative halls in Washington,
the democracy of the union hall
extends to the use of the drinking
fountains and the toilets.
Samuel Baptist, Business Agent
One of the outstanding Negro
officials of Local 984 is Samuel
Baptist, who Is Business Agent
and Assistant to the president of
the local-R. A. Terrell. Sam Bap-
fist is one Of the representative
citizens of Memphis. A member
of the Transfers union for more
than IS years, Baptist was an
employee of the Kroger Grocery
company before assuming his Of
fetal position with the union.

attending college for a while, he
entered the service of his country
