SARATHANI BAPTIST

The children of Sabathani Bap-
tist Sunday school assembled at
$50. At 1915 the morning worship
hour was opened with a devotional
period conducted by the deacons
and followed by an organ prelude.
We welcomed our pastor Rev.
Stanley R. King back from his
trip to Omaha where he attended
the American Baptist Convention.
Rev King delivered a very inspir-
ing sermon entitled Called AC-
cordingly to Divine Purpose. He
explained that we all are called to
serve God in different ways. The
Scripture and text for the morning
sermon were Romans 8:28-31. The
congregational hymn was Praise
Him, Praise Him. The choir was
directed by Mrs. Dayton Loud;
Mrs. John Rivers was pianist and
Mrs. William Warder was organ
list.
At pm. the broadcast was sent
forth over radio station WMIN to
encourage and comfort those who
are confined to their homes and to
those whose employment does not
permit them to attend their house
of worship. Taking the text from
Romans 6:23, Rev. King gave a
wonderful sermon entitled Buy
Now and Pay Later. The choir
was directed by Willie B. Hale.
Mr.. David Jones was added to
our Christian family by Christian
Experience. Among our sick and
shut-ins is Mrs. S. Webster. Let us
remember her in our prayers and
send her a card.
We extend to all an invitation to
join us in any of our worship serv-
ices. Sunday school is at $50;
morning worship, 10:45. The broad
cast, open to the public, comes
from the church at 6. Mid-week
prayer services and Bible study are
on Wednesday at 7:30.

Chief Justice Amazed

The Chief Justice leaned for
ward with open mouth and asked
in amazement Even if it isn't
right ?"
Then all sorts of speculations
began to bob up. Justice Black
asked if a man had listed his age
as 65 in 1858 and came back this
year to register and say he is SO,
and got three people to witness it,
would the registrar be forced to ac-
cept it? Roberts replied that they
would.
Well what about the man who
listed his sex as female"
BY this time the court, which is
usually so quiet that a pin drop
would be detected, was in hyster-
les. And the otherwise solemn
Justices were struggling to sup
press laughter.
We'll tell me" said Justice
Black, DO the registrars vote ?"
At this point the Chic
Justice burst into a broad smile,
arose and informally walked off
the stand with the other Justices
following, without the usual form
ality of the banging of the gavel
and the spectators rising at at
tention while the black robed, dig
nified nine justices filed out in
military fashion.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my dear
husband, Charles E. Miller, who
passed away four years ago March
4, 1856
Since you are gone and I remain
To walk the road alone;
I'll live in memory's garden
With happy days we've known.
In Spring I'll watch for roses red
When fades the lilac blue,
In autumn when brown leaves fall
I'll catch a glimpse of you.
Now you are gone and I remain,
With sorrow in my heart
Each thing you've touched along
the way
Will be a hallowed spot.
l hear your voice, see your smile,
Though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
Has buoyed me on with hope.
We saw 50 much of happiness,
We had our cup of joy,
And memory is one gift of God
That death cannot destrof.
Though you are gone and I remain,
One thing you still can do:
Watch for me down that long lone
path
For soon I'll follow you.
I pray to know your every step
That may walk the same
For some day down that lonely
road
You'll hear me call your name.
Sadly missed by wife, Marie.

Case Appealed To High Court
Upon conviction. Boynton ap-
pealed the case to the Supreme
Court, which voted to hear argu-
ments involved.
More than 100 Negroes, most of
them students, and several sym
pathetic whites have been arrested
and charged with trespassing in
refusing to leave stores where
demonstrations were in progress
against jim crow lunch counters
On the state level, incidentally,
bill was introduced in the Vir-
ginia legislature aimed at curbing
sitdown strikes at lunch counters,
as well as any other protest dem
onstrations against places of ac-
Commodation and-or service.
The bill would make it a mis-
demeanor to enter upon or re-
main on the premises OF any res
taurant after being warned not to
do 50 by the owner, lessee or en-
ploye, or by signs. In addition, it
would be a misdemeanOr to inter-
fere with service to persons not
restricted.
Penalty for violation would be a
fine not in excess of $50 or 30
days in Jail, or both. If deemed
necessary, a judge could issue a
restraining order against a convict
ed offender to prevent recurrence.
Serve Students, Hike Prices
In Hampton, Va, striking stu
dents won a costly victory in their
fight for equal service at the Lang
ley Sweet shop lunch counter. The
store management, which had earl
ier resisted demands of Negro stu
dents for service, suddenly rever-
sed itself and offered them service
but at exorbitant prices.
The students willingly paid 81
for a cup of coffee; $1.45 for hot
dogs; and $3.50 for sandwiches.

To Wear Old Hats:
Virqinians Threaten
To Stoy Our Of
Discriminating Stores

richmond, Feb. %. - Three
thousand Negroes attending an
NAACP mass meeting here this
week were told to- stay out of dis
criminatory stores; pay up all
bills; and wear old hats and shoes
if necessary.
These actions are in support of
the widening protest demonstra-
tiOns against refusal of public
counter service to Negroes.
]. Rupert Picotte, executive sec
retary of the Virginia Teachers s
Association told the enthusiastic
gathering to bank their money.
1T seems to me we can curtail
our social activities and can go on
a new austerity program. We can't
walk as they did in the Montgom-
cry bus boycott, but we can save
our money"
DR.. Felix Brown told the gather
ing that I'VE have a tremendous
buying power, and we can do any
thing with it and involve every
merchant downtown, if we have to
stop trading at all stores that don't
take our money for all their
wares"
The meeting was held on Feb. "a

under sponsorship of the local
NAACP branch and the State Con-
ference of NAACP branches. Rev.
