A committee has been formed to

Full Support Is
Needed For ST.
Paul NAACP Drive

Full community support Is need
ed to insure the success of the St.
Paul Branch NAACP Membership
campaign, stated Miss Mildred
Bond, NAACP National Officer,
speaking at the membership kick
off rally for the st. Paul Branch
at Gospel Temple Church.
In order to continue the giant
struggle against segregation the
NAACP is in constant need of fin
ancial assistance made possible by
memberships. Second class citizen
ship for Negroes weakens the
country in the eyes of the world
making it imperative that we in
crease our membership rolls thus
making more funds available to
the NAACP in our fight for first
class citizenship.
Miss Bond paid tribute to Leon
ard H. Carter, Region 4 field sec
retary, Allie Mae Hampton, Presi-
dent, st. Paul Branch, and Don
aid Lewis, Chairman, Membership
Committee for the splendid leader
ship they were providing for the
Association.
During the program the st. Paul
Branch's Board of Directors turned
in over $50 memberships to help
get the drive underway.

In loving memory Of our dear
beloved husband, father and grand
father, E. L. Escue, who departed
this life one year ago, May 8, 1860.
The day you said good bye dear,
Little that we knew that God was
at the Golden gate
Waiting to enter you through.
How sad it is to be without you
How lonesome our home is today,
But our heavenly Father knew best
When He called our loved one
away.
Sleep on Beloved, blessed sleep,
Your memory we will always keep
precious.
Sadly missed by wife, Josephine,
daughters, Elaine, Rhoda Lee, De-
Veau, Evelyn, Doris, sons-in-law,

PILGRIM BAPTIST

The tempo for the morning wor-
ship period on Sunday, April 30th
was set by DR.. Massey when he
impressed upon the children the
idea that you see only that which
you have your sights set upon.
Real Humility based on John
1912 was the theme Of the morn
ing sermon. DR.. Massey's intro
ductory remarks portrayed Jesus
demonstrative lesson of real hum
ility. AS the disciples assembled in
the Upper Room, their major con-
Germ was their status in Gods
Kingdom. Jesus then stopped to
the lowly task Of washing their
feet; He who was the greatest
among them had been their serv-
ant.
Rev. Massey stated: Humility is
a priceless jewel. It is a natural
result Of facing the facts about
ourselves. What are the facts :?
(D We are all children Of God,
made in His divine image. (2) We
have not lived up to our privileges.
We are far less winsome that we
have the right to be. When we
see ourselves in the light of what
we might have become, then we
know real humility.
The registered guest was Mrs.
Helen Brown Of st. Paul.
Music for the service was pro-
vided by the Senior Choir and
Gospel Chorus under the direction
of Mr.. Richmond and Mrs, Gallo
way respectively.
What do you seek? Sincere
friends, comfort, spiritual renewal,
faith =? Whatever you seek,
we welcome you. For the only
answer to peace and happiness is
an akinship with God and true be-
levers. Pilgrim THE church Of
lofty friendship" opens wide her
arms to receive you.

ing Our Negro Heritage" symbol
ical of the American Negroes her
itage past, present and future
proved to be most provocative as
evidenced by the enthusiastic re-
ception and participation of the
audience during the discussion and
the question and answer period
Mrs. Josie Johnson, chairman Of
the workshop committee, greeted
the assemblage and briefly stated
what the workshop hoped to &C
complish. She then introduced the
chapter president, Mrs. Robert
Murray, who welcomed those in
attendance. Mrs. Fronzena Sizer
read the impressive Jack and Jill
Mothers prayer.
The panelists were introduced by
Mrs. Johrson. The background In
formation on Africa, its geographi-
cal and Typographical, as well as
its native inhabitants was ably
presented by Rev. Louis w. john
son, whose wealth of information
on the subject, enabled one to
trace the arts and culture of the
African people from the time be-
fore Christ. 1t gave a better un-
derstanding of the environment
from which the native Africans
had been uprooted and brought to
America as slaves.
This in turn pointed up the tre-
mendous adjustments that had to
be made by these people and the
psycho-social aspects and resultant
effects which was discussed with
slSillful discernment of the matter
by the charming Ruby PernelL DR..
Pernells remarks helped us to un-
derstand the American Negroes
feelings and reactions to this up
heavel in their way of life which
can be traced to the very present
day.
Ernest Cooper St Paul Urban
League executive director, spoke
with sincere convictions of the Ne
gro's present position in American
and stressed the noticeable pro-
gress that he has made in the rel
atvely 81 ort time since slavery and
the unlimited opportunities for the
Negro youth to advance to even
greater accomplishments.
He stated there was not one
field of endeavor in which the Ne
gro was not represented with dis
tincuon, (Science, literature or the
arts) and debunked the time-worn
theory that the race was unable
to take its place in society.
Mr.. Cooper strongly urged that
the Negro Youth prepare them
selves and that parents encourage
intellectual achievements, because
the opportunities were there for
those who are adequately prepared.
Mrs. Laura GaslIins served as
moderator for the panel astutely
tying IN each subject for a smooth
