St. Jodn A. M. E. CHURCH
“THE FRIENDLY CHURCH”
22nc and Willis Ave.
A goodly number were out Sunday
to witness the closing services for
the year 1933. Sometimes it is help-!
ful to reflect on the past, it is whole
some preparation for the future.
Christians and church goers were es
pecially biassed in 1933, in that the
opportunity for wholehearted wor
ship on the last day of the year pre
sented itself, the last day being on
a Sunday. The pastor chose as his
subject, “Remembering The Past,” j
which was quite appropriate, and j
proved very beneficial. Brother;
Thomas Rucker, our local minister, |
used his opportunity well Sunday;
night, at the regular service discuss- j
ing the subject of “Self Denial and ■
Sacrifice.” After a recess, service i
•was resumed and a watch service was \
conducted by the pastor in the form j
of an exhortation enterprised with
suitabe songs sung by the choir and
congregation. Those who didn’t at-,
tend missed a real watch service,
and if you did, come to our watch
services this year.
■St. John will greatly acknowledge
the presence of all visitors. The fol
lowing names were given to the
ushers: Mrs. C. C. Baker, Miss Ma
ble Ketchem, Mr. Stone and Mr. and
Mrs. E Smith.
St. John’s members especially are
requested to get your pack of offer
ing envelopes. If you believe in
systematic government of your
church,, cooperate with your officials
by helping them to get te envelope
system under way. Ask for your
box.
Te big Clock Rally is under way,
and all must work hard, since it is
to close not too far hnce. Ask your
captain all about it.
Now that you have made your res
olutions (it is to be hoped that your
church was included,) may you live
to carry them through; and may we,
all of us thank the Ohoma Guide for
the liberal service rendered the
church last year, and show our ap
preciation this year by reading the
only paper of its kind west of the
Missouri.

Mrs. Christine Althouse and Mrs.
Georgia Borders share honors as
hosts for the club during the holi
days. An enjoyable evening was spent
at both places. Special mention is
made of the social meeting at Mrs.
Borders as an annual Christmas tree,
loaded with presents for everyone,
was there. The Boosters pride them
selves on being friends to the mini

deserve friendship more than those,
so, if you shoud see an electric waf
fle iron at the parsonage, know that
the Boosters presented it to Rev. and
Mrs. Bryant fo rtheir very own.
In recognition of former services
rendered the club, a testimonial,
written by every member of the club,

On Saturday December 23rd, the

the Robin Club. Various games were
played, carols sung and gifts dis
tributed by the sponsor, Mra. Doreene

On Tuesday, December 26th, the

Trojan Girls club had a party. A

The coming of winter, as the Na
tional Safety Council points out,
brings with it a number of varied
and important accident hazards.
Carbon monoxide is one of the fore
most. Motorists warm up their cars
in closed garages—and the inevitable
result is more unnecessary tragedies
to add to the annual death toll.
Another field where winter brings n
increase in fatalities is in hunting—
nearly one-haf of all firearms deaths
each year occur from November to
February. Careless or inexperienced
sportsmen carry loaded guns in ve
hicles, leave them leaning against
trees, draw them barrel foremost
after them when crossing fences,
shoot at moving, unseen objects, and
so on. And the accident tol soars.
To most of us, winter driving pre
sents the principal hazard. Streets
are wet and ice-covered. Darkness
comes early. Driving practices that
are reasonably safe in the summer,
become extremely dangerous. The
condton of one’s tires, brakes and
windshield wiper is vastly mare im
portant than at any other time of the
year.
Every motorist should have his oar
examined at the beginning of winter
to mae certain it is in good operating
condition. Then he should remember
that only IB per cent of car accidents
can be laid to mechanical failure, and
that in the balance the human ele
ment must bear the blame. The only
course to pursue is to drive with a
maximum of care under any and all
conditions—and drive as little as pos
sible when road and weather condi
tions are exceptionally bad.
In automobiles, in homes and in
sport, winter presents a thousand
