PILGRIM BAPTIST

Sunday was Universal Bible Sun
day. DR.. Massey delivered an in
spring message entitled 1.-The
Word Made Flesh. The founda-
ton for the message was taken
from John ia. DR.. Massey stres-
sed Importance of reading the
Scripture and we should read the
Scripture reverently. The minis
ter stated further that the New
Testament is the fulfillment of the
prophecy Of the Old Testament.
Christ came up in the carpenter
shop but his mind was with God.
The word became flesh in Jesus.
Then faith came in the picture.
No Christian can make 1t without
faith. without faith nothing is
possible and with faith all things
are possible.
On the day Of Pentecost the fol-
lowers of Christ should have been
in despair but they weren't, they
didn't give up, they rejoiced in
hope. If you are looking for hope
read the Book Of Acts. In con-
clusion, DR.. Massey said we must
realize that the Bible must be-
come apart Of our lives and its all
right to be a New Testament
church but we must live the New
Testament In our hearts. We must
live what we believe and our chief
example is Jesus. Words tell us so
much but only our lives reveal.
We must make the Scripture live
in our behavior, because this Is the
only Bible some people read.
Music was rendered by the
Choral Group, Gospel Chorus and
Senior Choir. There was dedication
of the babies of the following par
ents: Mr.. and Mrs. Wofford John
son, Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Pillow,

tuberculosis Has
NOT Disappeared
From Hem. County,

tuberculosis has not disappeared
from Hennepin county.
The Central Case Register shows
that in Hennepin county there
were $40 new cases of tuberculosis
in 1861, 125 Of them active. Thirty
four deaths in the county were
caused directly by TB.
Each active case of TB has the
potential Of multiplying, and it is
here the danger lies," said DIR.
Sumner s. Cohen, president of
the tuberculosis and Health AS
sociation of Hennepin County.
Family contacts and co-workers
must be examined and re-examin-
ed to see that TB does not strike
them. All known victims Of TB
germs are watched closely and
given drugs so that their cases do
not become active. DR.. Cohen went
on to say that TB Is still the ma
tons number one infectious dis
ease causing a death every so
minutes.
To help find every case Of TB in
its early stages when cure is pos
sible is one Of the goals Of the
and Health associa-
ton. The Christmas Seal mobile
X-ray unit visits every portion Of
the county In an attempt to dis
civer TB cases.
The Seth annual Christmas Seal
is now under way, con-
tinuing through Dec. 81.
