carry out the will Of Jesus by
using the brain that God has
given us. AS christians we must
stay on our toes to keep anything
from throwing us off our work to
be of service to King Jesus.
The pastor continued stressing
the point that we are born into
Jesus's kingdom and as his ser
wants we have responsibilities to
live up to. Sometimes temptation
can be overcome but when we
face danger and the best doesn't
seem good enough this is when
most Of us fail. We should keep
in our heart and mind, "the Lord
is the strength Of my life, whom
shall I be afraid Off? Then the
Lord will take your cup and put
your feet on solid ground.
Next Sunday, April 1, Mr.,
Charles H. Stevenson, public in
formation officer Of the Hennepin
County Civil Defense Office, will
give commentive remarks on our
pastors lecture about the Fall

view point. Theme, LAS in the

that many divorced couples felt
that their marriage could have

discuss their problems with some
one. He felt this was an area in

ZION BAPTIST

Born to be King" was the
sermon Rev. ]. R. Holloway, pas
tor of Zion Bpatist Church, de-
livered Sunday, March 25, taken
from John 10: 2S-40.
The minister stated that in
order to be a king, physical fit
ness, love and understanding Is
necessary for leadership. Jesus
met the requirements to be king
challenged by Pilates accusia-
ton and the temptation Of Satin.
To confirm this accusation, Jesus
claimed his birthright, Born to Be
King. Jesus never let anything
come between Him and His birth
right and His obligation to carry
out the will of God.
Rev. Holloway went on to say,
when we accept Jesus as our King,
Redeemer and Spiritual Leader,
then we become his servants and
must live up to His standards and

Most Modern in World

Friendship officials admit that Dulles will be the
most modern airport in the world but believe facilities
at Friendship sufficient to meet the demands of
the public.
While the main battle for business is expected to
be between Dulles and Friendship, Washington Ma
tional Airport also will feel the pinch.
David N. Munson deputy director of the Bureau
of National Capital Airports National becoming
a "commuter airport" for hops to Atlantic Coast
points and the Midwest
He said Dulles will take feeder" traffic away from
National but that this loss be made up in private
aircraft and cargo planes
He believes that many persons may go to Dulles
at first but will gradually shift back to National be-
cause of its convenience to downtown Washington.
Actually, National Airport could stand relief
from the traffic pressure it experiences. 1t is
sidered busy for Is hours day. 1t is second in the
United States in total air carrier operations with 4646
154 passengers and O339 flights recorded last year.
