Worship service was of great in terest, and was enjoyed by everyone. The Choir sang Christmas Carols, and the Yuletide Spirit was woven over the congregation. Following this beautiful song service, our pas tor, Rev. J. H. Jackson, used “A Hope of a Coming Messiah” as the subject of his discussion, found in numbers 24:17. He so profoundly discussed how the Ancient Prophets, and Saints unwav ering held to the “Hope that some Higher Being would come to deliver them out of their suffering. During these days of depression and tangible problems with which life is confront ed, without Hope, our lives would be as an empty dream. Visitors and friends are always welcome to worship with us at the Bethel Baptist Church. Mt. Moriah Baptist Church 24th and Ohio St. Rev. F. P Jones, Pastor Sunday was another great day at Mt.

The Service opened with a pro cessional by the Choir of 30 voices, : who were robed in white, and wore golden crowns. When assembled on the platform they made a picture which could easily be compared with the imaginative angelic choir, and with a background of white which stars and imitative snow drops which filled the auditorium created an at mosphere which was almost heavenly. The Service which was divided into three parts was conducted by the pas tor Rev. Jones, who was also robed in white. Scripture was read by Rev. J. S. Williams of the Hillside Pres byterian Church, and Prayer was of fered by Rev. P. M. Harris State Mis sionary.

Upon the ! invitation for the Gift of Substance j every one was asked to join the pro cessional which was conducted by ; Mr. J. D.

Mr. Harold Williams, and Miss Alice Parks represented Mary and Joseph, and were seated on either side of the cradle. The choir under the very efficient leader ship of Mrs. Viola Wright rendered beautiful Music throughout the »er-j vice.

P. Bryant, Pastor The services at St. John’s last Sun day were very impressive. Rev. Bry ant preached from St. Matt. 8:3. Some of the most outstanding thoughts were as follows: 1.—We must get real close to Christ to feel the powers of his mighty hand. 2.— God wants the world to serve him and not feel unworthy, because he will raae it plain to all, who will serve him, as Christ makes it plain to the Christians. They should touch some unsaved person and make it plain to them. If one has his hand clamped in the hand of Jesus, he need not have any fear, for Christ will lead him in the right way.

St Benedict’s News Father J. C. Daly, Pastor M ado line E. Sterbag, Reporter The Christmas programme, spon sored by the teachers of oar school: was really the acme of junior enter-1 tairrment. The children were at their I best, and the eareftil selection of plays for their talent was a work of art. Master Brown, the announcer, and later the tap dancer, was a large percentage of the shew, and his clev er bits of humor kept everyone laughing throughout the entire after noon. Every child in the entire perfor mance showed the abiity of a veteran actor, or actress, and delighted the audience far beyond expectations. The auditorium was packed to its fullest capacity, with an overflow in the hall. Many visitors and benefac tors from other parishes were pres ent, and we were delighted to see the former teachers of St. Benedict’s among the number of Sisters who came to see the play. Much credit is due the principal, Sister Mary Daniel, for this splendid entertainment, and she was assisted by Sister Mary Christella, and Miss Kilpatrick, the lay teacher. The children made a lovely picture in theiru niform attire, the girls all wore a pretty little tailored frock of light blue with a white peter-pan waist, while the boys were extremely smart in their dark trousers, white | shirts, and colored ties.

Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) Mid Christmas joys let us in mem'ry Bear This truth: Always ’tis greater joy to shar* The measure of our own prosperity, With others who may poor and needy be. Whoever ministers to mankind, In charity, will then most surely find' Tis truth; then, henceforth will be lieve. More joy it is to give than to reeeive. So, comforting the needy and dis tressed, In ministr’ing that others may be blessed. Thus helping others we the means ] employ By which to multiply our store of joy. LOOKING BACK By Videtta Ish (For The Literary Service Bureau) Using Ugly Words Those Negroes “what corned out uv j slav’ry” “didn’t had no eggercation,” 1 but they had a wealth of common I sense. And they had good manners, too. Few of them were guilty of “roughness” as is so frequent, today. “Oh! she said a ugly word!” This was heard often, and it was said with horror. Perhaps the “ugly word” was J devil, or “ plague-take-it.” And, in some cases one child would call anoth- j er a fool, or a liar, was a terribly wicked child and “the bad-man” was almost sure to get him. But, now, children do not hesitate to say fool, liar, devil, and even to use unmentionable terms. Who is to blame for this condition? Who al lowed these children to "get away?" Parents are paying the penalties in that children not only say those ugly words to one another but to their p&rente. “I heard a girl say "Father is an old fool!" On another occasion a girl practically called her mother a liar, when she said “It’s not true, mother and you knew it was not when you said it!” Well, the children are so different from what they were "when I was a being brought up.” SEEING WHITE By A, B. Mann (For The Literary Service Bureau) In a Negro college where all the teachers were white, one of the in structors was hearing a class. Ha was annoyed by noise on the outside. He directed one of the students to go out and stop the noise. The student returned but the noise continued. The professor roared, “I sent you outside to stop that noije, and the noise con tinues!” The student answered tim idly, “Why, Mr. professor, they ara white boys!" The teacher understood the situation and. rising he said “III go; I'm not afraid; I am an American eitixen, free born, and WHITE I According to the order of the clause and the ration of emphasis which characterized this statement, it means more to be an American citizen than it does to be free-born;" but, by the Mine measure, it would be indicated that it means infinitely more ta be WHITE- In this our own America, as those of the dominant race trample those of the unfortunate one, they ignore the elemental de mands of justice and equity, as these relate to Colored Americana. Doing this they are declaring emphatically, as did the professor, “I am an Amer ican citizen; free-born; WHITE'” (Continued) THE HOUSE OF BREAD By Dr. A. G. Bearer (For The Literary Service Bureau) Text: Let us go now even unto Bethlehem.—Luke 2:16. When these humble, happy shep herds said “Let us go now even unto Bethlehem, they had reference to the literal Bethlehem. Perhaps they did not even think of the significance of the name Bethlehem. But there was and is a deep spiritual significance at tacned thereto. The wisdom of God, the foresight of the prophets and the fulfillment of the Christian hope all are involved. The term Bethleheni means “The House of Bread.” Jesus Christ was and is the “Bread of life which cometh down from heaven. So, Beth lehem is both literally and figurative ly the House of Bread. So, today, when materialism is failing to satis fy the souls' of men; when there is the confessed need for what the world cannot give; it is well to echo the challenge, Let us now go even to Bethlehem. And the world may go to the Christ, the Living Bread with HEAVY HENS . 12J i LEGHORN HENS .He i SPRINGS . 12c [ LEGHORN SPRINGS .,._ nc J I STRICTLY FRESH EGGS, doz. . 18c, 2 doz. 35c Produce Distributors Co. 1301 N. 24th St. Phone AT-0702 m rran r=m r=an r=an rzrm r=an m m r—wt r — r—mm ,—■ — ———____ Youthful Strength Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, the world-known authority on Sexology and Director of the Institute for Sexual Science of Berlin. Germany created TITUS-PEARLS to help the millions of men and women who have lost or are losing their vital physical power.
