ZION BAPTIST

On Sunday, March 18, 1862,
many of Zion's regular worshipers
and former shut-ins were in the
pews. The choral groups gave in
/ spiration with their songs for
service and praise, under the dir
ection of Mr.. Willie B. Hale.
my Decision" was the message
delivered by Rev. E. B. Hicks,
of the American Baptist Home
Mission Society, using jeremiah
1875, Proverbs 1925, and st. John
14:1 as a scriptural background.
The minister stated that most of
us are living in sin by leading a
! life that is too fast for us. Now
is the time for us to make our
decision. Will we continue living
sinful life, or will we go back
to serving God??? Rev. Hicks
went on to say that, we must
decide now, because when the
Swelling of the Jordan comes it
will be too late to prepare our
selves to meet God.
Zion's membership was increas-
ed by 21 during last weeks Re-
vival Services.
Next Sunday, Rev. J. r. Hollo-

Church will deliver the sermon at

Romsey County Republicans
Support Foir Housing Urge
Kennedy To Keep Promise

AT the meeting OF the Ramsey
County Republican convention last
week the convention passed a
resolution calling on President
Kennedy to keep his campaign
promise to issue an executive
order banning all race discrimin-
alton in housing financed by fed
eral funds.
The resolution will be presented
to the Fourth district convention
when it convenes for approval.
The Ramsey county COP resol-
ution stated:
"Since the Republican Party
has shown its vigorous stand on
fair housing opportunities for
minority groups in the state of
Minnesota and since President
Kennedy's campaign promises in
cluded the elimination of discrim-
ination in federally supported
housing, we urge that the Presi-
dent live up to his word and sup
port the proper and effective pro-
cedure of much needed remedial
legislation in our Congress in an
effort to remedy this problem"

Sit-In Lawyer Beats Out
incumbent For Democratic
OK In legislative Race

San Francisco (ANP) - A
young Negro attorney last week
defeated Edward M. Gaffney, a
veteran of 20 years in the state
legislature, for the Democratic
party's endorsement in the 18th
Assembly district.
The winner, Willie Brown, 27,
piled up At votes to 7 for Gaffney
and 2 for w. H. Johns.
II think we have seen a new
day in Democratic politics, "
Brown said jubilantly after re-
ceiving the support of the Council
of Democratic Clubs in the Fifth
Congressional District.
Brown said he was certain Gaff-
ney would oppose him in the June
primary, but added that he was
confident of winning because of
the party's support.
He challenged the 74-year-old
Gaffney to meet him in a series
of debates on issues ranging from
housing for low-income groups to
medical care for the elderly.
Brown first attracted attention
here last May when he led a sit
in demonstration at the Forest
Knolls housing tract on the slopes
of Mt. Sutro.
Nearly so per cent of the resi-
dents of the district are Negroes,
Brown said, but he added that he
did not think his race was a fac
tor in winning the endorsement.

CHURCH
NEWS
ST. PETERS AME

For the first time in six weeks
the weather last Sunday was mild
and pleasant and st. Peters
Church was filled as Rev. Lowell
Johnson delivered a stirring and
pointed sermon, entitled, Not
Was But Am"
What this world needs" de-
Clared Rev. Johnson, "is not new
programs, but new men and new
women whose souls have been
touched by God" BY new men
and new women" Rev. Johnson
said he was referring to people
whose lives had been completely
changed by a spiritual encounter
with God.
While men tend to hold a per-
sons past against him, this was
not true with God, stated Rev.
Johnson. To illustrate his point,
Rev. Johnson invited the congreg-
alton to look at history and see
how God chose the worst people
to do the most good.
Rev. Johnson cited Moses, a
murderer who was chosen to lead
the Isrealites out of Egypt; Paul,
a prosecutor of the Jews was
used to preach to the very people
whom he had been killing; Aus
gustine, the scoundrel, became
Augustine, the saint, after God
touched him." God did the same
with Richard Allen, the founder
of the African Methodist Epis-
copal Church and D. L. Moody,
for whom a school is named in
Chicago, said Rev. Johnson.
The important thing about
these people, said Rev. Johnson,
was not their past but what they
did after God came into their
lives.
Then Rev. Johnson said, since
coming to st. Peter over 200
people have joined the church, and
many times an individual already
in the church will point to a new
conner and remark, do you know
what he was?" To this Rev. John
son said he answered, 1T is not
what was yesterday but what I
am today. 1t is what am now,
that is important"
What this country needs, de-
clared Rev. Johnson, what this
city needs, what every family
needs, and what every church
needs, is not new programs but
new people who will say with
Martin Luther, "Irregardless of
the consequences, I stand for
.Godw
Rev. Johnson ended the mes
sage by leading the congregation
in Somebody Touched Me"
Mrs. Rosemary Cook sang the
gospel I'm Going To Die With
My Staff In My Hand" and the
Senior Choir supplied more music
with HE Hideth My Soul and
Lead Me, Guide Me-"
An amusing incident occurred
when in response to Rev. John
sons customary welcome to the
visitors, Mr.. John Estes Des
Moines funeral director delivered
a short sermon on why he came
to Minneapolis and st. Peters
church.

Hepatitis and the health depart
ment cheated us out of our usual
Lenten dinners this year.
Lent always brings to mind
many fond memories. One of the
most nostalgia is the memory of
the Shrimp Suppers which head
chef Don LaFaucette used to cook.
That was Creole Shrimp Supreme.
You could smell that sauce cook
ing as you opened the downstairs
door. Bay leaf, garlic, green pep
per, celery, cayenne and tomatoes
simmering slowly, finally the
shrimps were popped in - and
after an expectant wait - dinner
was served. Remember?
Be sure and make your Easter
Communion.
