PILGRIM BAPTIST

"a Model Christian Couple"
based on Romans 1873 was the
subject of the morning message
delivered by DR.. Massey before a
capacity crowd of worshippers.
The minister began his sermon by
stating without christian laymen,
there would be no church. Pris-
ella and Aquila were the model
christian laymen described by DR..
Massey. Paul met this congenial
couple who took him in and they
discovered that they had some
thing in common.
They all had the grace of God
in their hearts. Another thing that
they had in common was that they
were witnesses for God. We too
need to be witnesses and win
others for God.
DIR. Massey pointed out that the
Chinese say there are five points
to a compass-North, South, East,
West and where you are. We need
to take inventory of our spiritual
life to find out where we are so
that we will know which way to
go.
Other things that characterized
Priscilla and Aquila were their
willingness to support anyone in
the service of God. They stuck
out" their necks for the cause of
Christ by permitting Christians to
meet in their home. They opened
their hearts to the church.
The minister concluded that an
enthusiastic christian has an in
fectious spirit. If you stay around
long enough, you will find that you
have caught what they have. May
be it will take a while for it to
catch afire but 1t will.
We have the same attributes as
Priscilla and Aquila and can make
the church move forward We have
the leadership in Jesus Christ, son
of the living God.
The following were baptised and
fellowshipped into the church:
Bernard Browder, Debby Browder,
Robert Cox, Debby Donaldson,
Stanley Frelix, Alva Hampton,
Diane Lynn, Shirley Lynn, Kermit
Waters and Jerry White.
The ordinance of communion
was observed. Music was provided
by the Senior Choir, Gospel Chorus
and Choral Group under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Richmond, Mrs. Gallo

INDIANS STRIKE PAY DIRT
IN PARKWAY OREGON!

klamath Falls, Oregon (ANP)-
Merchants here, handling all types
of commodities, are still chuckling
gleefully over the tidal wave of
prosperity brought to them a fort
night ago, when the United States
paid out IL million dollars to 300
Klamath Indians, in payment for
their reservation of 100000 acres.
Each Indian received $43, 900, and
then the spending and saving spree
started.
One bank reported an increase
of $2,50O,OO0 in deposits in 4a
hours; an auto dealer sold Is new
cars, for cash; some bought new
homes, hunting rifles, fishing tao
kle and home furnishings; one
started a checking account with
$4,000, then, two days later a
check bounced, marked NSF' and
the Indian promptly deposited
$5 1000 more. But the prize celeb
rant was the one taken into pro
tective custody by police who
found him in a drunken stupor at
a bar, tightly clutching $4,000 in
a shopping bag!

ST. PETERS AME

A large crowd was in attendance
Sunday morning, May z, at the
10:45 worship. Joshua 500 was
the scriptural background for Rev.
Lowell Johnson's dynamic message.
His subject was Reasons For
Shouting" The pastor stated that
some people shout more than
others although some do not have
much to shout about and some
shout over the ignorance of others
mistakes.
The speaker further stated that
we should rejoice with those who
rejoice. and weep with those that
weep. He admonished his listeners
that it is time to buckle down and
keep our hand in Gods hand for
we have come long way, and have
done a big job, but there is much
yet to be done and If God Is for
us who can be against us?
In conclusion Rev. Johnson posed
two questions: Are you shouting
over others mistakes, or are you
shouting because you are ignorant
of what you are shouting about?
''The greatest thing that one can
shout about is when ones soul has
been saved from sin," concluded
the speaker.
The ordinance of holy commun-
ion is administered the first Sun
day of each month and all christ
ians are welcome to partake in re-
membrance of Christ's broken

Would you like to know Of two
almost painless methods by which
you can save money! Here they
are:
Cd Pretend you didn't get that
raise. The next time your err
ployer increases your wages,
forget it don't spend it
put that amount away safely in
a savings account. Sure, you
might be able to spend it (may-
be even on something you think
you "need"). But, it's money
you didn't have and got along
without. So why not keep it
that way and let it accumulate?
(2) Give yourself cut" No one
likes to accept a "cut" in wages,
but millions got them during the
depression in the 1905 and kept
on living. 1t may hurt a little
at first, but give yourself a
"cut" by deducting a certain
amount OF money each payday
and set that money asirle in
savings account. You'll always
be glad for that kind OF a cut"
