"A Fathers ADVICE based on
2 Timothy 1:12 was the theme OF
the annual Fathers Day message
delivered by the pastor Of Pilgrim
Baptist, Or. Massey. Prior to the
sermon, the cnildren'a Story was
beautifully narTated by Miss Paula
Wood. a sophomore at the Univer-
slty Of Minnesota.
In his introductory remarks the
minister pointed out the need for
q father by both boys and girls.
DR.. Massey developed his message
along the following lines: CD
All children have gifts that con-
stantly need re-lEindling. The faith
er can give the child the guidance
and announcement necessary IN
bringing out the best that II In the
child. Every father should help the
child stir up the gift that he has
and should expect the child to do
the best with what he Is equipped.
DIR. Massey admonished the
children not to try being a soldier
and civilian at the same time. He
stressed that the important thing
was to be yourself and be the
BEST Of yourself. He pointed Out
that the child should keep his goal
within the limits Of his gift.
Learn to know your strong
points and give yourself credit for
those strong points. Don't be afraid
to make some mistakes and admit
to making them. If you don't know
the answer, say you don't know"
Finally, DIR. Massey told the wor-
shippers, to continue In what they
had learned and have faith. No
man can succeed without God.
Music was provided by the Cos
pei Chorus, Teenage Choir and
Senior Choir under the direction Of
Mrs. D. Galloway, Mrs. Freelix
