PILGRIM BAPTIST

Speaking from the topic Com
munion Meditation, DIR. Massey
told worshippers at Pilgrim Bap-
tist Church, st. Paul, that Jesus
was a free thinker. Because he
stirred up the people there were
many who wanted to get rid of
Him. To the people who wanted a
life of ease, Jesus offered the
Cross. The minister continued
that even to this day, Jesus re-
mains the most disturbing and re-
sourceful person to ever live. DR..
Massey gave four reasons why:
Q) The quality of His life made
sinners uncomfortable. (2) He dis
turbed people with his ideas. He
did not hesitate to put new con-
tent into old things. (3) With His
consideration on standards of con-
duct. Deeds, not words, are real
measurement of a PERSONS Chris
tianity. And fourthly, Jesus upset
the people about his attitude to-
ward the Cross. Jesus died on the
cross - the worst way He could
die.
In conclusion DR.. Massey point
ed out that we are mistaken if
we believe we can have the good
life without giving up the easy
life. There is no gain without
pain. When we follow His de-
mands we are made to feel secure.
After the sermon, the ordinance
of communion was observed, and
the righthand of Fellowship ex-
tended new members.

sage was Jesus. The Scriptures
for his Text was from st. Matt

Isiah 9:6. "And she shall bring
forth her forth son, and thou
shall call his name Jesus: for he
shall save his people from sim"
Jesus is immortalized in many
ways; in stain glassed windows
in Churches and Cathedrals, in
literature, in music. In stain glass
windows with outstretched arms
He calls to us saying Come
Unto Me-. Jesus died on the cross
that we might be saved from our
sins. Rev. Johnson also explained
some of the symbols used in the
church. The letters on the Cross
I. H. S. meaning In His Service.
The burning candles speaks of the
truth of God, that He is living
God. We must have faith and be-
lieve in the power of Jesus. He can
move all obstacles from our lives

FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST

July 1, was a great day at
Friendship. Sunday school was
held at the usual hour with Willie
Turner the Superintendent and
teachers at their post.
The lesson reviewed by our min
lister Rev. Harris which afforded
us food for thought. The devotion
al was conducted for the morning
worship by the deacons of the
Church Willie Turner and Charles
Cockrell. Jonnie Cockrell offered
the Pastoral Prayer. Our minister
Rev. Harris chose for as his sub
ject II Saw The Lord And He
Changed My Life" His text was
taken from Isaiah 81, "In The
Year That King Uzziah Died,
Saw Also The Lord Sitting Upon
A Throne, High And Lifted UP,
And His Train Filled The Tenn
pie"
Rev. Harris asked a question.
How did Isaiah come to see this
vision of Jesus Christ? (For
Apostle John tell us that it was
Jesus that Isaiah saw" John
12:41. Our minister stated that
Isaiah did not come to this ex-
perience by mere accident, nor did
he come to it because he was
child of good fortune. Jesus is
ready to make Himself known
just as real to you and me as He
did to Isaiah. We may see Him
If we will, just as Isaiah did in
he long ago.
Rev. Harris stated, that all Of
us do not come to this vision by
he same road. But the road Is
not the matter of supreme i'm
portance-them matter of supreme
is the vision itself, the
coming face to face with Christ
he Master. What a sermon we
heard with our ears from our
Pastor.
The evening service was well
ttended, it was an old testimon-
ial service. The Lords Supper was
given by candle light with our
minds going back to the upper

only Democratic Governor to
introduce a civil rights resolu-
ton was John B. Swanson Of
Michigan.
In an interview on Meet the
Press" Lawrence was asked by
New York Herald Tribune reporter
Earl Mazo, do you want the
conference to go on record for
civil rights, sir?" Lawrence re-
piled, II have no particular views
on it. I don't know what effect it
would have on the ultimate result
no matter what they did. In other
words, it would be a question Of
what the Congress Of the United
States does in relation to it. These
governors would have just as much
effect on the congressman of their
respective states if they didn't
pass the resolution as if they
did" AS a follow up question Mazo
asked, DO you want the confer
ence to go on record on medical
care for the aging or on these
other big issues?" Lawrence an
swered, eyes, hope they will go
on record just to show the senti-
ment as expressed by the govern
ors. think it is good thing and
they, in turn, would have influ-
.ence on the members of the Cong
ress from their various states"
Lawrence didn't seem to care
whether support of a civil rights
would influence Congress or not.
Governor Brown told a news
conference that, I'm hesitating," ,"
to push for civil rights action
because I don't like to see civil
rights hurt in any way and we are
not going to convince any of these
southern governors that they are
doing things incorrectly I don't
concern myself too much with the
resolutions"

these are appropriate measures

At this writing the fate Of civil
rights at the Governors Confer
