CHURCH
NEWS
ST. PETERS ANM

The beautiful white snow gave
an atmosphere Of the Christmas
season rather than spring Sunday
morning, March 3, which saw the
pews filled at st. Peters with
the regular church goers. Rev.
Lowell johnson stated his message
would be a seTrnonette In order
to expedite time, as the ordinance
Of Holy communion Is administer
ed on the first Sunday Of the
month.
The subject Of his dynamic ser
monette was "A Feast to Rernem-
ber," and was based on the holy
days when Jesus rained down food
from on high, and they were thirs-
ty in the desert, when God COM
manded water, and the water
gushed forth The speaker admon-
ished his listeners to remember
the symbolic Peace Of the Pass
over. He stated that God forgives
by the blood Of Jesus and we should
remember the significance of the
feast, how we were lost In sin
when Jesus went willingly to the
cross.
He reminded us to remember
that God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten son
that whatsoever believed In Him
should not perish, but have ever
lasting life. In conclusion Rev.
johnson stated, Remember to
walk in love, as Christ also hath
loved us, and hath given himself
for US as an offering and a sac
rifice to God"
The message was climaxed by
the Cantinos singing the sacred
number, Let US Break Bread to-
gether on our Knees" Music was
provided by the Senior Choir,
Evangelist Noah Smith brought
the message at 1880 pm. when
approximately 70 new members
were fellowshipped into the church.
Rev. johnson stated IL was a his
toric event that happens only once
in a life time. 80 young people and
children were baptized. Music was
by the Choral Choir and the Bro
therhood Glee Chorus. Mrs. Lu-
ellie Ray was organist.
Eight persons united with the
church. They were Miss Diane
Lee, Mrs. Clarence Curray, Mr..

Rebel Myths On
ConfederueY Blocks
Dixie InfeQrufion

San Francisco (ANP) - The
Confederate myth that the South
loves and seem to be getting the
rest Of the nation to accept, furn-
lshes a physiological barrier to
desegregation," declared DR.. l. D.
Reddick here last Sunday In a dis
cussion Of the nations centennial
celebration Of the American Civil
War.
DR.. ReddiclO, who Is professor Of
History at Coppin State Teachers
College and a member Of the
American Historical Association,
indicated that over 81 billion Is
being spent throughout, the nation
on the 100th-year celebration of
the War Between the States.
He said that most Of this money
is wasted and that much harm Is
being done to national unity and
progressive ideas, for the South is
gaining wide acceptance Of what
it looks upon as a glorious Lost
Cause.
Confederate flags, pag ants,
songs, and such organizations as
the Daughters Of the Confederacy
and its junior branch, the Children
Of the Confederacy, pictures and
monuments to Confederate heroes
all serve to perpetuate a false
image of history and strengthen
the old ante-beIlum ideals of white
supremacy and Negro inferiority,
he continued.
Neither do the present-day cele-
brations tell the truth about the
Negro as soldiers, seamen and
guides to Union troops. In the
words Of President Lincoln, these
Negroes made the difference be-
tween victory and defeat.
DR.. Reddick pointed out that
Montgomery, Ala, which prides
itself on being The cradle Of the
Confederacy," has had a week.

ton Of jefferson Davis as presi-
dent Of the Confederacy, at the
same time was selling the prop

destroy militant civil rights lead
ers.
DR.. Reddick called upon writers
and the mass media of communic-
alton to tell the truth about the
Civil War and destroy the confed-
crate myth, which Is a psychology

ance at Pilgrim Baptist on Sun
day. March 5th. The ordinances OF
baptism were administered to
Messrs. Allen l. Clark and Rob
ert G. Lewis.
Master John Barker narrated
the children's story. He used the
story of a little girls stinginess
to develop the idea that there is
nothing that can be compared
with giving to God.
"a Magnificent Concern" was
the subject Of the sermon eloquent
Ily developed by DR.. Massey. De-
parting from the conventional for
mat, he chose to interpretatively
present the ]. B. Phillips transla-
ton of Paul's second letter to the
church at Corinth. The minister
spoke primarily from the 9Th
chapter Of Corinth. This passage
of scripture is concerned with the
idea of giving God His share. God
only accepts that which is will
ingiy given. BE willing to give as
much as you can. That Is what God
accepts. Gods rewards are as
bountiful as Is the gift. Poor
sowing means a poor harvest; a
generous sowing means a gener-
Gus harvest"
In the process Of developing his
message, DR.. Massey utilized two
stories. A man was complaining
about giving. "All that church
knows and wants Is for you to
give! give! give! To which his
pastor replied Thank you! That
is the best definition Of Christian
ity I've heard.
The second story concerned a
man in Tennessee who had just
been converted to Christ.
Upon his return home he began
talking with his wife (who was
good church worker) about his
intentions now that he was a

Not all the Negroes interviewed

Africa has made the Negro in

He calls any plan which would

II England persists in carrying
out the plan.
On the other hand, Kaunda feels
not only that Africans have not
been granted seats in proportion
to their numerical strength, but
that the white settlers have no
right to any seats on the ground
that they are not Africans but
interiopers who have been squat

The solution Is somewhere be-

some compromise must be worked
