ST. PETERS AANIE

Sunday morning, February Il,
was a beautiful day and the church
was filled to it's capacity. zone
God and One People" was the
theme chosen by Rev. Lowell john
son. The basis for the message
was from Ephesians 4:6, Zone
God and Father of all, who Is
above all, and in ALL" Rev. john
son opened his message by stating
that the primitive form Of worship
was nature. Later man began to
worship images which were idols.
Each tribe worshipped a variety OF
gods, but they came to the con-
clusion that there is only one God
who is more powerful and is great
err than all.
The Pastor further stated that
there must be one God though we
cannot see him, but we can see
what He does. He is mighty man
of war; He is too large for a
conception in any form of Great
ure, and he emphasized God has
visited earth in the form OF man
and died to redeem man from his
sins; so therefore man who walks
in darkness has no cloak for his
sins.
In conclusion the speaker stres-
sed that we are not male, female
or nationality in the sight Of God,
for there is one God and one people.
This God loves all humans the
same; there are no stepchildren,
therefore we must walk with him
in dignity.
The Cantinos rendered the very
fine music. Freddie Ewing sang
zone God" which was very ap-
propriate.
At 5 pm. the ACE. League

Gov. Rockefeller okuys Bill
To Prohibit Housing
Discrimination In NY

Albany, N. Y. (ANP) - The
Rockefeller administration and Re-
publican Senators reached agree
ment last week on a bill to pro-
hibit racial discrimination in sale
or rental of some, but far from all
private housing in the state.
The bill the Senators backed
differs little from the one they re,
jected last year. One new clause
exempts three-family houses II
which the owner occupies one
home.
Another new feature is an ap
preparation of $4,000 to the Stat
Commission Against Discrimina
ton to help finance the supervision
of the proposed law.
Passage of the measure appeareC
assured. Some Democrats viii
probably attack it as too weak
but the great majority of Repub
licans appeared ready to supper
it, along with all the Democrats.

PILGRIM BAPTIST


Race relations and Boy Scout
Day were observed by an over
flow gathering of worshippers on
Sunday, Feb. 18th at Pilgrim Bap-
list Church. Active participants in
the morning worship period were
members. Of the Boys Scout Troop
No. 408 under leadership of Scout
master Deacon Samuel Richard
son.
Boy Scout Billie Holloman told
the children's story. He impressed
upon the children the idea that the
finder is not always the keeper,
utilizing the story of a little boy
trying to decide whether or not he
should keep a purse he had found
or return it to it's owner.
The morning message was ele-
gantly presented and was an in
spirational teaching sermon. DR..
Massey chose as the subject Of his
message "A More Excellent Way
and developed the subject from I
Corinthians 1921 and I Corinthi-
ans Is. The Introductory remarks
included ideas relative to discrim-
nation. I'VE must hate discrim-
nation, but love the discrimination
The mission of the church is to
teach Christian love.
There was a man who died and
went to hell and when he petit
toned for the right to go to heav-
en-, he was asked what acts of love
he had shown on earth. II once
gave a carrot to a donkey" was
the reply. Forthwith a huge car
rot reached down from heaven and
he began his climb heavenward.
Others also tried to climb this car
rot and he attempted to force
them off. The carrot broke and he
fell back into hell.
Love does not cherish inflated
ideas of its own importane. Love
is unselfish, patient, forgiving,
ever humble.
DR.. Massey developed the mes
sage further by presenting and in
terpreting the text as presented in
different versions of the Bible. He
employed for this purpose the j.
B. Phillips, Moffat. Goodspeed and
Revised Standard Version compar-
ing them with the presentation as
found in the King James Version.
The sermon was concluded with
a story of Jesus as he returned to
heaven. When Jesus was asked
What are your plans for the in
ception Of the world ?" left Peter,
John. Mary and Martha II left my
followers. Jesus replied.
Suppose those you left to be
the body of Christ, suppose they
fail you, what will you do about
your cause on earth?" IF they
don't do it, have nc other plans.
DIR. Massey concluded with a pray
err for Christian love.
Music was furnished by the SEN
ior choir and gospel chorus.
Uniting with the church were
Messrs Robert Lewis, Allan Clark
and Horace ]. Rivers.
Next Sunday morning DR.. Mas
sey breaches. Sunday evening at
7:3O pm. a Negro History Pageant
titled 'T Am A Negro, written and
directed by Mrs. Juiette Brown,
will be presented.
On Sunday, Feb. 26th at 6 pm.
Alec Seymour presents his intern
ationally famous Talking Ami

are Pat the pig, Freddie the

her mother, but finding her better
she attended a Los Angeles con-
vention.
The charges against Mrs. Frac-
ton said this offense occurred in
1860 but this papers checking re-
vealed that there was no Baptist
convention in Los Angeles in 1850
but that there was one in 1859.
The school board by a vote ap-
proved Mrs. Fractions suspension
with board member Frank Adams,
only liberal on the board dissent
ing and voting no.
Mrs. Fraction would not make
a statement to this newspaper on
the case referring queries to the
teachers union federation offic-
ials.
At the meeting Mrs. Fractions
interests were represented by A.
James Heller, grievance commit
tee chairman who charged that
during Mrs. Fractions third year
of teaching after previous salts
factory reports on her work by
two principals a systematic and
planned effort was made to keep
day-by-day records in order to ter
inmate her probationary contract
in June 1861.
The union earlier had estab-
hshed that because she had al
ready served three years as a
teacher she is no longer a prob
ationary teacher.
The federation contended that
Mrs. Fraction had been a teacher
at Schiller for her fourth year;
that she had been commended by
the principal who even recommend
ed that she be given a probationary
contract over the admitted opposi-
ton Of the school administration
personnel department.
The federation said her second
year was served under Principal
Vern Indehar present principal
who also gave her a satisfactory
reco m m e nd a ton. The union
charges that in the third year as
she approached tenure status a
planned effort was made to check
her work with the end that she not
be given a tenure contract.
The teachers union said the
school administration cannot deny
that Mrs. Fraction Is popular, and
well liked by both the parents and
the students under her superV-
sion.
The federation representatives
urged the board not to suspend
Mrs. Fraction until the hearing
had been held.
Boyer and Heller also said Mr..
Indehar's whole attitude had
changed in the third year. 1t
charged that the unwritten policy
of school personnel being notified
when an inspection Of teachers
work is planned was disregarded
in Mrs. Fractions case and she
could not put on her best showing.
The federation charges that the
decision on Mrs. Fraction was
made by a conference consisting
Of an assistant superintendent, the
personnel director and the prin-
cipal and that three prior salts
factory recommendations on Mrs.
Fraction were completely ignored.
1t also charged that during the
alleged bad reports Mr.. Indehar,
the principal made no attempt to
correct any DEFICIENCIES in Mrs.
Fractions work, despite the fact
that his office was next door to
her room.
Boyer and Heller charged that
the teachers federation had been
assured that Mrs. Fractions status
would be satisfactorily adjusted
