ZION BAPTIST

Sunday, April 8 was Youth Sun
day at Zion Baptist Church. Our
intern minister, Rev. Henry Hardy
spoke on the subject, Taking The
Covers Off" using John 20: lilo
as a scriptural background.
Rev. Hardy stated that we must
take off the covers of pride and
jealousy and self-concem before
we can really serve God in the
right way. If we take these covers
off, we can see beyond our self
concern and see those around us
and be of service to them. The
minister continued by saying that
man has gone away from himself
by SHINING and taking things as
they are simply because its the
easy way out in life. We must
take the covers off and reveal
ourselves, because we are not our
selves and the only way we can
serve God is through self. If we
wish to be christians we must
sometimes strip ourselves of all
artificial concern and clothes and
go before the altar of God saying,
"clothe me and fill me with your
Grace, Oh Lord" When we do this
we become better christians and
can be of service to those around
us.
Palm Sunday, April II at 7:45,

$3.50.
There are three reasons why
Jesus must increase in the lives of
Christians, said Rev. Johnson. One,
only Jesus has the words of eternal
life; two, in order that children
get the right kind of example; and
three, so that people get the right
kind Of picture of God, said Rev.
Johnson.

FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST

Text Luke 1882. Sub. 60 tell
that fox that I am in town." That
was the text and subject that our
minister Rev. L. c. Harris used
for the am. service.
He first gave the CHARACTERISTIC
of a fox, our minister stated that
a fox is a sly animal, he will wait
until your back is turned, then
will spring on you. Some members
of the church have the DISPOSE
ton as the fox, they will smile
and be sweet before your face, but
when your back is turned they are
your enemy. That is why Herod
would not come to Jesus and ex-
press himself to his face, but sent
others. And Jesus told them; go
tell that fox, Behold cast out
devils, heal the sick, raise the
dead, open the eyes Of the bine,
Tell him I'm in town.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

/ Worshippers at Pilgrim Baptist
on Sunday, April 9Th heard DR..
Massey preach from the subject:
These Ministered Unto Jesus.
The sermon was a continuation of
a series dealing with those who
had to do with the suffering and
death of Jesus. Dr. Massey out
lined his message in five parts.
(1) The Lord was supposed to
carry the cross to the place of
crucifixion but fell under the bur-
den. Simon, who was believed to be
dark man, was chosen to carry
! it for Him. The minister pointed
out that the part Simon played
gave status to black people every
where. (2) Jesus's only cry of
physical discomfort was when he
cried II Thirst. 1t was a rough
soldier who wetted His lips with
water. (3) There were those who
provided the drug-wine. This group
was a Womens Society of Jerus-
alem who offered this drink to
Jesus to deadened the pain of dy-
ing. Jesus refused. az The last
kind word spoken to Jesus was by
thief who asked to be remem-
bered when Jesus came into His
Kingdom. ~ There were women
who stood near the cross. They
were there although they could do
nothing. This was a comfort to
Jesus - just to know there were
some who cared. In conclusion the
minister left the challenge to the
congregation to carry the cross in
a like manner.
Prior to the sermon an ZAP
probation Gift" was presented to
Mrs. o. Galloway and Mrs. Scott,
Directress and Pianist for the
Gospel Chorus respectively by Mr..

ment of Colored People consid-
ers with increased concern the
fate of Soviet Jewry. The shock
ing events of recent weeks with
in the Soviet Union have brought
the situation to a pass which
forces us to speak out in protest.
The actions of the Soviet Union
again bear witness to the fact
that totalitarianism in any form,
to the left or to the right, util-
ICES the weapon of group per-
secution and discrimination in
its attempt to secure and to
maintain power.
Since last July, fifteen Soviet
citizens have been sentenced to
death by shooting for various al
legged economic offenses, such as
currency speculation and black
marketeering. At least twelve,
and probably more, of them are
Jews.
Many of them were sentenced
to death for offenses committed
at a time when the law did not
call for capital punishment. In
at least three cases, a lesser pen
atty, melted out upon conviction,
was increased to capital punish
ment on appeal by the prosecu-
tor - after enactment of the
death penalty decree. Most of
the convicted are denied the
right of appeal. These savage
practices represent an unfortun-
ate retrogression in Soviet law
as well as new and disturbing
indications Of anu-Semitic per-
secution.
Sir, we have the honor to ap-
peal through you to the govern
ment of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics for clemency
and communication for the fifteen
sentenced to death
