ZION BAPTIST


Rev. j. r. Holloway took his
sermon text from the Book OF
Luke, chapter Is verses II, IL and
20 and theme The Prodigal Son"
A new twist was given to the
familiar story when our minister
said both sons were in need OF
salvation. The one, the obvious
sinner, the prodigal, and the subtle
sinner, who secretly desired to try
his wings, but felt honor bound to
fulfill his duty at home.
In conclusion the speaker said
that II we secretly desire to do
wrong, but feel morally obligated
to do right, not because we are
christians, but because of worldly
gain, or what people might say, we
too are prodigals-we too stand in
need of salvation.
Our choirs surpassed themselves
in their musical selections Sunday
Mrs. Myrtle Harris rendition of
His Eye is on the Sparrow" left
many an eye misty and a fullness
in many a throat. Golden throated
Shirley Witherspoon, likewise, sang
beautifully.
We at Zion invite you to fellow
ship with us and enjoy our WON
derful services.
Rev. Holloway has been giving
series of brief meditations at the
s pm. service with very favorable
reactions from many members.
Two new shut-ins are noted this
week. They are little Larry Mccoy,
1922 Penn Av. N. and Mrs. Irene
Harvey at Fairview hospital. May
God love you and grant you health.
Rev. Holloway's sermon text for

Price Freedom"

1t is when they begin to shop
around themselves that the trouble
begins. They see a rental sign in
the window, go in to inquire and
are either told that the apartment
has been rented or bluntly notified
that Negroes are not allowed in
the building.
The protocol officer feels that,
after all, his department is asking
for very little. There are in Wash
ington some $4,000 desirable"
apartments. OF these, about 300
or more are vacant at one time
or another.
IF apartment owners would only
get together and guarantee us
that just ten of these apartments
would be available for the choice
OF a new African diplomat, the
problem would be solved" he said
At present there are some 80
families who are not properly
housed. They are living in segre-
gated areas, in parts of the city
far removed from their work, or in
undesirable houses. There are nine
cases on the emergency" list,
where embassy staff members have
been unable to find housing and
are living in hotels or with friends
Sixteen newly independent ma
tions in Africa have sent repre-
sentatives to Washington within
the past year; some ten more may
be expected in the future. But the
delegation is fairly small in num-
Der, with African diplomatic per-
sonnet numbering only about 100
persons at the present time.
Pressure will be put on real
estate representatives to make
suitable apartment housing avail
able. If this is not done 'it may
be necessary to have a law passed,
such as the antidiscriminaton
rental law in New York" accord
ing to Mr.. Duke. Il don't want to
