forth unto those things which are
before, I press toward the mark.
John the Revelator wrote, II saw
a New Heaven and a New Earth. . .
1--WE stand on the threshold of a
New Year-but the question mark
is, what will be our experiences.
What about survival, justice, hon
esty, and awareness ?" This chal-
lenge was given Sunday, Dec. 81,
at Zion by Rev. Henry Hardy, in
tern minister, speaking for the
Ursula Matrons Missionary Socie-
ty.

works in the new heaven to pre-
pare something for us, we must
retain a new earth, doing some
thing for Him; creating a world
of kindness, and truth"

gested the congregation to turn to
God for a workable solution to
their problems. For just as He
helped Moses, Ezekiel, Daniel, and
others, He will invest us with His

Roy O. Hatcher
Takes New Post
With US. HOUSING
CONTINUED from Page y


that the $7,35O,OOO urban renewal
program, financed by the Federal
government, would someday be a
reality.
More than 35 new houses have
been built in the Township in the
last year. The first was started on
Nov. "a, 1860. Streets have been
paved east of Wyoming, the urban
renewal area. Some township
owned land west of Wyoming has
been placed on the market and
draw several inquiries, Hatcher
said.
Most of the 1-floor, war housing
barracks units have been demol-
ished. And plans have recently been
completed to have the 2-floor bar
racks buildings of the Oakdale
Residents Housing Cooperative in
cluded in the program and torn
down.
Hatcher, whose contract with
the Township runs until next Aug
use, is paid one-third by the Town
ship and two-thirds by the Federal
government. He gave his resigna-
ton to Township Supervisor FL
wood Dickens.
Hatcher has few regrets. He's
talked about it for almost a year.
But he said he has not been look
ing for another job. He feels the
urban renewal work is sufficiently
far along for him to quit and the
program be carried out by someone
else.
I'm quitting while can still
care about what happens here" "
Hatcher said. II would not leave
this job in the hole"
Throughout his work, Hatcher
has been known for his strong de-
termination to carry through. He's
frank and direct in his approach to
problems.
In the past Hatcher has said
an individuals way to success is
paved with determination and crit
ical self-evaluation.
Dickens said of Hatcher's resig-
nation: IT'S very regretable. I'm
still in a daze since he handed me
his letter yesterday.
II don't think we can find a
better man in the whole United
States. No one man has done as
much for this community, its
people and urban renewal than
Ray Hatcher"

Psalm 1852. Examine me, o
Lord: and prove me, try my reins
and my heart, was the scriptural
background for Rev. Lowell john
sons message on Sunday morning
Dec. 81.
The subject was Spiritual In
ventory". The pastor opened ms
message by stating If a place OF
business takes inventory the end OF
the year, how much more should
a christian take inventory of their
souls not only at the end Of the
year but all during the year, for
every individual is a pattern Tor
some person and just the way a
person lives some individual VIII
end up the same way.
The pastor stated christians
are in business for God and they
are the dispenser of Gods commod-
tiles. The first inventory is
Smiles. One can smile If 1t Is
cloudy or fair, the world needs
more smiling people.
The second inventory is "Humil-
llty. HumnLy VIII MAKE yOu WolI
to serve others rather than have
others serve you.
The third inventory Is Faith"
Faith is the substance Of things
hope for, and life will not be sue
cessfull without faith and trust.
The fourth is forgiveness" and 1t
is impossible to have Christ in
your life II you cannot forgive, for
God is a forgiVng God.
The fifth and last Is Love. The
sentiment of kindness when you
are looking for something and
lyearning for fulfillment you must
/ seek God for he Is the only answer,
In conclusion Rev. johnson ad-
monished the listeners to replenish
our supplies from the store house

PILGRIM BAPTIST

when You Come to the End of
the Day" based on the text John
Ola, was the subject of the mes
sage brought by Dr. Floyd Mas
sey, Jr. on the last Sabbath of
1861.
We must all come to the end of
the day, he told the congregation.
The end comes regardless of the
performance on the job or in life.
DR.. Massey told the worshippers
that the end of the day was relax
ing when one had performed his
best, albeit your best may not be
as good as someone else's. The
minister stressed that the import
ant thing was that it was your
best . . God will take care of the
rest.
DR.. Massey pointed out that Pill
grimites could be proud in some
instances. particularly financially
for the church is debt free How
ever, there are other things of
which we cannot be so proud
The minister posed the following
L1O" WCll HdNC yOu
lived for Christ in 81? How much
have you gotten rid of? How much
have you tried Christ likeness?
Our worlds problems would not
be as pressing as they are if we
had just tried Christianity. DIR.
Massey utilized the story of Mr..
Goodwill and little nameless boy
to develop the central theme of the
morning message. Their Nsitations
took them to unhappy homes that
were surrounded by the walls of
greed, selfishness, poverty, intol-
erance and prejudice. AS the fam
lily in these respective homes came
to the full realization of the cause
of their unhappiness, the walls
were replaced by sharing, kindness,
and love. In closing Dr. Massey
admonished the worshippers to do
their best where they were and live
the best where they were. Try to
be the best you can and let God
take care of the rest"
Prior to the sermon the chill
dren's story was narrated by DR..
Massey who impressed upon the
children the fact that it was not so
important to get somewhere as it
was to be something.

Lillian Manning, Morgantown, w.

Our New Years resolution should
be to attend church regularly, give
more of our services and money in
1862 than we did in 1861. All this
is necessary in order to reach our
one thousand adult member goal
by 1864.
The Episcopal Church has long
been interested in the problems Of
the American Indian. About four

was appointed as the social worker
by the Diocese to work among the
