Sunday morning, February II,
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
er 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 a 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

Gov. Rockefeller ok0ys Bin
To Prohibit housing
Discrimination In NY

Albany, N. Y. (ANP) - The
Rockefeller administration and Re-
publican Senators reached agree
ment last week on a bin to pro-
hibit racial discrimination In sale
or rental Of some, but far from all,
private housing in the state.
The bin the Senators backed
differs little from the one they re-
jected last year. One new clause
exempts three-family houses in
which the owner occupies one
home.
Another new feature IL an ap-
preparation Of 500, 900 to the State
Commission Against Discrimina-
ton to help finance the supervision
Of the proposed law.
Passage Of the measure appeared
assured. Some Democrats win
probably attack 1t as too weak,
but the great majority Of Repub-
hcans appeared ready to support
1t, along with all the Democrats.
