ZION BAPTIST

Sunday, February rs, 1862, the
women of Zion Baptist Church
held their Annual Women's Day
using as their theme, The Christ
ian Woman's Philosophy of Pride,
Prejudice and Professions" taken
from Proverbs 81: 1921 verse. The
Scripture was read by Mrs. Erma
Bowers at the am. service and
by Mrs. Carrie Sudduth at the
II am. service.
Mrs. Mae Walker was the speak
er at the 8 am. hour and Mrs.
Mary Tillman spoke at the IL am.
service. Both women used the
theme as their subject.
The speakers brought out some
very inspiring points about a
woman's philosophy of pride, pre-
judice and professions: They stat
ed that prejudice is a bad social
practice based on the material and
character of a persons profession.
It is not designed to lord over
your fellow-man but designed to
serve them better. Philosophy is
a woman's responsibility. She must
attempt to organize a system Of
Christian life. Women must realize
that they are being watched and
must know the true way of life and
God.
Some women are weak because
they have forsaken the way Of
God by worshiping roses, diamonds,
furs and their professions. A
woman has only two basic profess
sions, wife and motherhood. These
are the professions God has chosen
for her.
The attendance at the afternoon
program, 1.-THE Hour of Charm, was
tremendous and the program was
hailed as a great success.
On Sunday, March 4, 1862, the
members and pastor of Zion Bap-
fist Church are invited to attend a
pre-Lenten service and dinner at
the Robbinsdale Congregational
Church, Rev. Thomas Warmsley,
pastor.
The pastor of Zion Baptist
Church, Rev. J. r. Holloway will
speak at both the 8 and II am.
services, Sunday, March 4.
Attend the BTU. hour at $50
next Sunday and hear our guest
speaker, Mr.. Ted Woodland, on
Mortuary Science.

lowship welcomes you!!

FRIENDSHIP MISSIONARY
BAPTIST

Our Pastors Subject for the
morning service was; Prepared
and Unprepared. Text, Matt. rs,
/, 10. Rev. Harris stated in his
sermon then shall the kingdom
of heaven be likened unto ten
virgins, which took their lamps,
and went forth to meet the bride
groom. Five of them were wise,
and five were foolish. And the fool
ish said unto the wise, "Give us
of your oil; for our lamps are
gone out"
Watch, therefore, for we know
neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.
AS Christ sat looking upon the
party that waited for the bride
groom, He told His disciples the
story of the ten virgins, by their
experience of the church that shall
live just before His second COM
ing.
The two classes of watchers
represent the two classes who pro-
TESS to be waiting for their Lord.
Virgins, they profess pure faith
BY the lamps is represented the
word of God, and the oil is SYM
boil of the Holy Spirit.
There are those that are saved
and those that are unsaved, the
Holy Spirit cannot be transferred
from one person to the other
everyone must stand the test, you
must be born again. 1t makes
no difference how bad or evil you
have been, Gods written word will
change you. Jesus said, Deny
yourself, pick UP your cross and
follow Me-" The wise were ready
they went with Him to the mar
riage and the door was shut. The
unwise without oil, without the
Holy Spirit, the door will be shut
in their face when the trumpet
sounds. He is coming back for us,
will you be prepared? Will you be
in that number?
This was the wonderful message
brought to us by our pastor, Rev.
L. c. Harris, truly the Spirit was
high at the morning service. We
were blessed with two solos for the
morning worship, Dolly Williams,
sang Nobody Knows Any Better
Than I, and when God Speaks
To Me-" Charles Cockrell, sang,
Push Along" Earnest Martin,
Charles Cockrell, conducted the
devotional service, which was very
inspiring.
Next Sunday we will have a good
old fashioned testimonial service,
thanking God for His Many bless
ings. viii you be in that number /?
Art you the wise or the foolish?
Prayer meeting will be in the
home Of Rev. and L. c. Harris,
1915 Fifth Av. s., Wednesday 8
pm.
All visitors are welcome to wor-
ship with Friendship Baptist
Church, where we are striving and
trying to please God.
