ZION BAPTIST

THE Face Of My Parish, was
the sermon Rev. J. r. Holloway,
pastor Of Zion Baptist Church, de-
hvered Sunday, July %, 1862,
using Peter SILL verse as a
scriptural background.
Rev. Holloway pointed out to
US that the purpose Of Peters
letter that he wrote, was to
strengthen the people in the scat
tered church in the Roman Empire,
appealing to the leaders of the
churches to take care Of their
flockS, to feed, strengthen and
bring them together. The leaders
must pray to God to open their
eyes and unseal their ears that
they may be able to face the pro-
blems Of their parish. Because one
who works with the church should
always pray and somehow the
voice Of God will whisper to him
the problems Of his parish.

PILGRIM BAPTIST


Christianity Above The Ordin-
ary'' was the subject of the sermon
brought by DR.. Massey at the
morning worship hour at Pilgrim
Baptist on Sunday, July %, 1862.
The text was taken from Genesis
1922.
In discussing the background Of
the text, the minister contrasted
the sacrificial offerings made by
Abraham and the Pagans. There
was much concern about the ex-
tent to which the Pagans went to
pay homage; human life was read
lily sacrificed. This concern caused
God to request the life Of Abra-
hams son as a sacrifice. When,
with heavy heart, Abraham went
to make this sacrifice, God seeing
the devout love Abraham had,
spared the son.
In conclusion DR.. Massey told
the worshippers: ~ What ever
our life's work is, set your eyes
on the high ideals of God. (2) To
be loyal to the high ideals of God,
one must be capable of great sac
rifice. Abraham was willing to
give his only son; God demands
that we be willing to make real
sacrifices to foster his kingdom.
Nothing that is of real value is
realized except through great sac
rifice. (3) Neither our idealism
nor our goals we seek will be
possible without faith. Faith Is a
great factor in life; only those of
faith are capable of sacrifice.
The children's story was beauti-
fully narrated by Miss Paula Wood,
outstanding student at the Univ
ersity of Minnesota and an active
member of Pilgrim Baptist
Church.
She impressed upon the children
the Importance of being reverent
and attentive at all times and es-
pecially in church.

Faith Is The Victory" was the
subject of Rev. Lowell Johnson's
message. His text was from First
Epistle of John 5:4, For whatso-
ever is born of God overcometh the
world: and this is the victory that
oVercometh the world, even our
faith. The ingredients for faith:
We must believe that things not
seen are real. For in the wind we
know it is there yet we cannot
see it. We must affirm that God
has spoken and God is and will do
what He has promised. God is
true and we can put our trust in
Him. Although we have never seen
God, we can feel His presence
when He speaks to us. Through
faith we can overcome destructive
forces. Faith will make you whole
when you put on the whole armor
of God; He heals the sick. He that
believeth on Jesus shall never die
but have everlasting life. He will
help us overcome our sins and all
obstacles. Faith cannot be bought
but can be received by trust. "Only
believe, only believe, All things are
possible; If you only believe"
The pastor, Rev. Johnson and
members are very happy that

At a press conference last week
Congressman Clark M C G re g o r
(Rep. Mimi charged Northern
Democratic leaders cater too much
to Southern Democrats on the
civil rights issue.
MacGregor stated:
"On Friday, July 20, Presidential
Adviser Ted Sorenson said the
long awaited executive order BAN

sisted housing would be issued
soon.
IF true, this Is good news in
deed. Many of us hoped this order
would be issued a year and a half
ago as promised in the 1860 cam
paign. OF course, it should have
been issued long before this.
Executive action is fine but
true Civil Rights progress can
best be made through the passage
of new laws in order to make a
reality out Of the equality of op-

ole ROCKIN' CHAIR really
has got" the people Of Cam
bridge, Md.
Tilting placidly back and
forth in rockers has, in fact, been
a way of life in that Eastern Shore
community for generations. 1t is
the CambridgerS' key to relaxed
living.
No one has ever taken a rock
ing chair census there. But ma
tives are convinced that Cam
bridge has more rockers than any
place on or off the Eastern Shore.
One leading citizen whose family
settled there two centuries ago
figures there is at least one
rocker per capita in a population
of 5000.
The figure seems cOnserva-
tive when you make casual tour
of the predominantly residential
town. On the broad wrap-around
pOrches of the big Victorian
period homes found all over Cam
bridge you see drOveS of rockers.
They are mostly wicker, but they
come in all sizes and shapes
high-backed, lOw-backed, large,
small, plain, fancy. AS long as the
season is mild, the chairs are Oc-
cupied, the creaking forming
pleasant ObbligatO to converse
tion.
Prosperity apparently started
the passion for rockers in Cam
bridge. Around the turn Of this
century farming was a highly prof
table business on the fertile
Eastern Shore. Shipping, in those
days of the schooner, also made
fortunes for many.
They made their money

young" one Cambridge historian
explains. "And when they did,
they settled in the town, built
their big homes and settled down
to a life of leisure, and leisure
meant rocking and talking with
friends and neighbOrs on a front
porch"
Aside from the prosperity
which has continued through the
years, there is the age factor.
FOrty-six per cent of the pOpula-
ton is over As years old. The
average age of Cambridgers, in
fact, is the oldest of any Maryland
city, according to a recent study.
The older folk grew too accus-
toned to rocking chairs to sur
render them for the hypnosis of
TV.
Elsie Mcnamara, columniSt
for the towns daily newspaper,
types her daily contributions
from the saddle of a rocker. Its
more relaxing than those straight
backed things. Why be tense?" she
says. Miss McNamara's column is
entitled The Rocking Chair"
Cambridge's leading attorney,
Emerson c. Harrington, jr., keeps
a rocker in his office. There is
more truth in a rocking chair than
in a lie detectOr," he says. "A
rocker to me is what a couch is to
a psychiatrist. Your clients relax
and tell ALL"
To most Cambridgers who
never have thought to be analyti-
cal about it, there is a very simple
reason for rockers. No front porch
is decent" without them,
