Pastors text was Matthew lis.
The blind receive their sight, and
the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the
dead are raised up, and the poor
have the gospel preached to them.
Subject, Poor Mans Gospel. What
kind of Gospel is it, it is a plain
Gospel the uneducated can under
stand it. The lonely person can ap-
preciate it, it is a sympathetic
Gospel. The needy may have it, if
you haven't got a dime and no
place to lay your head, this Gospel
is for you. 1t is a free Gospel.
1t is a leveling Gospel, the humble
are raised by it. The destitute are
required by it. 1t is a compromising
Gospel Why is the Gospel a joyful
sound? Because it proclaimes par
don for the guilty, freedom for the
captive, a home for the wanderer
This was the message brought
to the members at the IL o'clock
service by our Pastor Rev. L. c.
Harris, which was very soul stir
ring and edifying.

ST. PETERS AME

SUNDAY morning, Jan. IA, was a
/ beautiful crisp sun shiny day. A
large crowd greeted the presiding
Elder DR.. c. w. Ellison, as he
brought the message for the sec
ond quarter Of this fiscal year.
The theme for the message was
four dimensions: Look Back"
Look Forward" Look Down,
and Look Up.
Doctor Ellison stated that the
only way one can appreciate where
you are is to look back from
whence you came. He also stated
that our objective for the first of
the year Is to do something, but
the question is what are you going
to do? The sane and safe driver
FORCES between the rear view and
the front view mirror to see what
is behind and in front, so a christ
ian must look back into the past,
and what is coming in the future,
to accomplish anything. You must
lay aside every weight and run
this race with patience said the
speaker.
DIR. Ellison further added, Let
he that thinketh he standeth take
heed lest he falls" The parable
was a Frog watching a Bird fly
ing South to escape the cold, and
the Frog asked the Bird to carry
him along, the Bird replied I have
only two wings, I cannot carry
you, and the Frog said here is a
string you take one end in your
mouth and 1 will take the other
end In my mouth, so the Bird
agreed and as they flew through
the air a farmer looked up and
asked who's idea was that? The
Frog opened his mouth and said
NINE The moral is pride
goeth before a fall"
The presiding Elder concluded
his inspiring message with the
beautiful hymn "Only A Look"
The altar boys serving were
Lewis Whitlock, and Walter Rus
sell.
The beautiful music was provid-
ed by the Cantinos.
The Brotherhood Usher Board
was on duty.
Mr.. Donald Johnson was united
with the church.

All are welcome.

Entrusted In Our Hands" based
on the text Luke 1910 was the
subject of the sermon brought by
DR.. Floyd Massey, Jr., at the morn
ing worship hour at Pilgrim Bap-
1862.
The minister painted a visual
background of the beautiful city
of Jericho that was awaiting the
test Church Sunday, January IA,
visit of the Master. Zacchaeus, be-
ing of small stature, had climbed
the tree to see the Master as he
passed by. Although he was the
chief tax collector and sinner, he
did what so many Christians fail
to do answer the call.
The pastor asked: How does
Zacchaeus come to the point that
he wants to right any wrong he
may have done others? One writer
says that possibly Matthew, who
had been a tax collector and later
gave it up, influenced Zacchaeus
to seek a new life in Christ. AS
the problem weighed heavily upon
his heart, he realized he would
never be satisfied until he had one
as Matthew had done"
DIR. Massey continued that the

ial substances, but most of all He
wants our lives. The minister

In Monhoffon

New York CAMP - Rabbi
! Kurt F1eisher, Brooklyn CORE
member was hospitalized four days
as a result of beating by an anti
semitic in a Greenwich Village
Restaurant.
AS the Rabbi sat talking with a
group Of friends about the Eich-
man Verdict two young men sit
ting at the next table began to
guffaw. Listen to the Jew" Just
Listen to the Jew" The Jews
deserve to die"
Fleisher tried to ignore them.
The discussion continued. Then the
other young man came over and
smashed his hand on the table,
folded his arms and announced
that the group was disturbing his
meal as they talked about Eich-
man. He said that the Jews had
to be destroyed. Jews were dis
eased, lice, vermin. Hitler should
have killed all the Jews!
Breaks Rabbits Nose
The Rabbi objected to the state
ment. Many of his relatives died in
concentration camps during the
war. He told the young man Of his
dislike of Nazis. At this point, one
young man lunged' over and hit
the Rabbi in the nose, breaking it.
AS the men were leaving, the
Rabbi tried to stop them, a fight
ensued, and the men ran away.
When the police arrived, the
Rabbi related the incident to them.
One policeman told Rabbi Fleisher
that he had complex. There were
no Nazis trying to kill Jews on
the streets in New York, The
other policeman told him Jews
had to expect these things here in
New York. They refused to take
names Of witnesses and search
the neighborhood for the Anti
Semites. The second policeman
went on to say that there were
no swastikas, smearing or desecra-
tons of Jewish buildings. He had
never seen any such things. They
were Pigments Of Jewish magma
tons.

named by the editors of Pageant
magazine as one of the Amer
leans To Watch In 1852"
The magazines annual selec-

whose lives and accomplishments
seem to make them eligible his

At a time when the conscious
ness of freedom is stirring among
Negroes in Mississippi, Pageant

Negroes are relying on legal action,
Mr.. Young is defender-in-the-

Young was born in Jackson in
1908 and graduated from jackson
State College.
He likes Mississippi and intends
to stay there. Quoted in Pageant
he says, You won't know Miss
issippi ten years from, now. There
are a lot of good people here who
are under pressure. When the
courts remove the pressure, he
states, mississippi will be a diff
ferent place. There already are
many signs of changes"
Pageant's nomination last year
went to such people as Edward
Albee, whose play THE American
Dream" captured three of the ma
tons most coveted drama awards
in 1861 and to architect Louis
Kahn, whose Richards Medical Re
search Building in Philadelphia has
since been called the most con-
building constructed in

Causes of strife can be traced

to be entreated and full of mercy
and good fruits, without Partially

A Cloud of Witnesses" Scripture:
Heb. lilo was used to empha-
size this multitude.
We are tied up with history!
America getting her independence
from Britain; the Constitution,
with its 18th and 18th Amend
ments now being interpreted to in
clude the Negro, is examples of
how God shows us we are a part
of this cloud of witnesses, the pas
tor said at Zion last Sunday. We
are reaping benefits from this his
tory.

knowing where he was to go-but
went on bearing witness. By faith

to the next runner-hoping his

before us-We now have the baton,
and must not get weary. In our

pate, we are letting the forerun-
ners down-for we are responsible
for carrying on til we are relieved"
The pastor stated in conclusion:
Scholastic, economic, and espec-

parents and others who are in this
throng of witnesses that has hand
ed us the baton saying, run as
fast as you can with it," They are
