heat that poured up through
the building.
The heat burst hundreds of

who suffered minor cuts.

The plan, which was introduced
as early as 1859 in some areas of
the state, is designed to make more
numbers available to meet future
telephone growth and for further
expansion of the Direct Distance
Dialing network. Tests have shown
that all-numeral numbers can be
dialed faster and more accurately,
and that errors in spelling or pro-
nounciation Of central office names
are thereby eliminated.

ational hymn. A special selection
was rendered by Mr. Norris Stokes.
Our Pastor, Rev Stanley King,
delivered an inspiring message US
ing for his subject THE Destiny
of Man is determined by the Will
of God" and scriptural background
from Ester Ala.
The pastor said that what is
meant by the destiny of man is
where he is headed and what his
lot will be when he reaches his
destination; that by destiny is
meant that the events in the life
of man are predetermined. The
speaker explained that destiny in
short, means God is in the plan.
In conclusion Rev. King said,
1--WE are men and women of des-
tiny, and God has a plan and pur-
pose for us, but we must so live
that we might be used of Him in
His service, through constant med
itation, intense study Of the scrip
lures and a close fellowship with
others.
Our regular broadcast was live
and direct from Sabathani Baptist
church after a series of transcript
tons on the Montgomery Story.
Music was rendered by the Senior
Choir. We were favored with an
other wonderful message by our
pastor whose subject was ''The
War that God wages with Sin"
The minister pointed out that part
of parting instructions that Christ
gave to His disciples before send
ing them out on a test mission
was Think not that I am come
to send peace on earth: came
not to send peace, but a sword"

also go that we may die with him"
On another occasion when Jesus
was speaking to His apostles about
going to prepare place for them,
Thomas said, Lord, we know not
whittier Thou goest; how can we
know the way?" Jesus answered,
IT am the Way, the Truth and
the Life, etc"

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Scholarship, Perseverance, and
Manhood" was the subject of the
dynamic message delivered by DR..
Firpo L. Hurley at the annual
Mems Day program at Pilgrim
Baptist Sunday, July 9th. Before
a capacity crowd of worshippers,
DIR. Hurley recounted his numerous
experiences as the first Negro citi-
zen of Harper, Kansas.
The speaker pointed out the
racial barriers that existed at the
time he was getting established
as a veterinarian. DR.. Hurley pic
tured the effects that the disease
prejudice can have upon the re-
cipient of such prejudice as well
as upon those guilty Of spreading
the disease.
The speaker indicated that the
one great lesson he learned from
all his experiences in Harper, was
that the greatest weapon against
prejudice is the church. For it
was through his affiliation with
the church that he was finally ac-
cepted as a full fledged citizen.
From an unwelcome intruder,
DIR. Hurley became an integral
part of the community, serving
on the Board of Elders of the
Presbyterian Church, member of
the Lions Club and Chamber of
Commerce. In conclusion, DR.. Hur-
ley urged all who listened to strive
to live a life whereby they could
be favorably judged by scholarship,
perseverance and manhood.
Music was provided by the
Mems Choir under the able direc-
ton of Mr.. A. V. Hall and a solo

Rev Holloway's sermon entitled,
His Leaf also shall not Wither,"

leaf depends upon the living water
coming from the ground and if
that leaf becomes separated from
the living water, it dies. Likewise
the speaker admonished those
present that turning ones back
on God is ikened to the withered
leaf. Decayed leaves bear no fruit.
He further urged those present to
be like the leaf that flourishes
and bringeth forth good fruit.
