The opening of the sewing class
for St Benedict’s was a successful
feature of last weeks activities. A
large number of ladies were present
and more are expected next Thurs
day. night. We have been very for
tunate in securing the services of
Miss Rose Grant, who is a well
known and capable dressmaker, and
interested in all kind of sewing pro
blems. So just bring that dress or
any remodeling that you are trying
to do, over to our school sewing
room, and you will be shown how to
make a perfect job of it, free of
charge.
The Altar Society held a very in
teresting meeting at the home of the
president, Mrs- George Jackson, and
work was continued on the beautiful
star quilt, that is under construct
ion- The coming whist tournament,
that is being sponsored by them was
fully discussed and donations were
made for the repast to be served af
ter the game. The resignation of the
secretary, brought about the election
of Mrs. Recman as our new secretary
and treasurer.
Plana are underway for a bazar,
the date of which will be announced
later.
An afternoon dinner will be held
in the school basement, next Thurs
day, from 12:00 to 7:00 p. m- A
splendid dinner is to be served at a
very moderate cost- Be sure to at
tend and get one of St. Benedict’s
famous: dinners. This dinner is spon
sored by the senior choir, of which,
Mrs. Maybe 11 Fields is directness
The death of Mr- Mortimer, on last
Sunday morning, at 4:30 a- m.
brought sadness to many of our
hearts. Mr- Mortimer, a very quiet,
and, unasuming old gentleman, was a
convert of Rev. Father Casilly, sev
eral years ago- He was a faithful
member of the church, and was never
known to miss mass without a very,
very good reason. He was generous
in his support of the church, and al
ways helped with every entertain
ment sponsored by the different aux
ilaries
We are in hearty sympathy with
the bereaved, and pray that the soul
of this faithful Christian, departed,,
will, through the mercy of God, rest
in peace
We were glad to see Miss Preyor,
who was reported on the sick list
last week, up and out again. The
Crusaders h'ad missed her a great
deal. The meeting of the Parent
Teachers Association, last Sunday!
afternoon, was well attended, and;
shows a growing favor with the par
ents. Miss Boulden, from the Com
munity Center was present to or
ganize a class in Senior Gym. Exer
cises. She succeeded in getting a
large percentage of the ladies pres
ent to join classes in reducing and
Volley Ball. She represented Miss

which, Miss Holiday gave two splen

i seme beautiful music, and Father
Daly the pastor, gave a very inter
. esting talk. The election of Mrs

j the appointment of Mrs. Burton on
the hospitality committee were the
j high lights of the business meeting.

MT. MORIAH BAPTIST
CHURCH
Rev. Felton P. Jones, Pastor
Services Sunday were good spirit
ually, and in attendance. Sunday
School at 9:30 a. m. This department
is moving along in a splendid way
under its newly elected Superintend
ent Miss Beulah Speese who has
outlined a progressive program for
the year. The high points in her pro
gram is soul saving. The financial
goal is $500.00 for the year. All who
know Miss Speese believe that with
the loyal cooperations. She
will reach the goal Mr. Edward
Beasley was elected president of the
Choir, Mr. L. C. Clark, President of
the Usher Board. Mr. Miles Speese,
President of the B. Y. P- U. Pastor
Jones believes that the out look for
1934 is very encouraging, as the of
ficers, both trustees, and deacons
and the workers are one hundred per
cent behind his program. The fin
ancial report made to the church by
i the clerk shows that the notes are
| paid up to date on the parsonage,
and the church debt greatly decreas
ed and a special tax of $153.72, past
due for years have been paid. Mater
ial for the completion of the new
1 auditorium has been purchased and
paid for, and we hope to take advant
age of the first break in the weather
to begin work. Many expressions of
praise and thanks were given the
pastor and wife for their
patient endeavor, and sacrifice
through which they have worked
without complaining- Therefore the
church plans to dedicate the first
Sunday in February to them by a
special rally. The pastor plans a rally
day for Foreign Mission, having re
ceived 170 stockings from Dr. East
Rev. Jones believes that Missions
should be foremost in the church
program. Two young women accept
ed Christ Sunday morning- The
working of the Holy spirit was so
manifested that they rose up and
came forward before the invitation
was given. They will be baptized at
7:30 the first Sunday in February.
The pastor has encouraged another
third of the membership to become
weekly regulars. All this points to a
great years work for the Lord. Those
who wish a personal touch of the
holy spirit and Christian fellowship,
come to Mt- Moriah a church with a
welcome to all

(1C—A Christian According to Christ.
( I. The Characteristics of the Sub
jects of the Kingdom (vv. 1-12).
Those who are members of Christ’f
kingdom must possess character cot*
sistent with the nature of the king.
1. The consciousness of utter spirit
ual poverty (v. 3). “Poor in spirit”
does not mean to be Without monej
(Isa. 00:2), but to come to the end oi.,
self in a state of absolute spiritual
| | eggary, having no power to altef
4-ne’s condition or to make oneself bet
ter.
2. Profound grief because of spirit
ual insolvency (v. 4). The mourning
here is not because of external grief
but because of the keen consciousness
"f personal guilt before a holy God.
3. Mumble submission to God's will
(v. 5). This meekness is an out
growth of mourning over spiritual in- j
solvency.
4. An anxious longing to conform
to the laws of the kingdom (v. 0). Th« i
one who has received the righteous |
ness of Christ as a free gift followi j
after the purity of character which ;
expresses itself in deeds of righteous
ness.
5. Merciful (v. 7). Subjects of th«>
| kingdom now take on the character of
the king, lie was the pre-eminently
/merciful one.
0. Purity of heart (v. 8). Since
.Christ the king is absolutely pure his
subjects must have purity in order to
enjoy fellowship with him.
, 7. Peacemakers (v. 9). The one
who has received the peace of God
through Jesus Christ will not only bo ,
at peace with his fellows but will dif
fuse peace to others.
8. Suffering for Christ’s sake (v.
10). The world hated Christ the king.
Therefore those who reflect his spirit
in their lives shall suffer persecution
' (II Tim. 3:12).
^ ' ft
9. Suffer reproach (vv. 11, 12). To
• have ail manner of evil spoken against
one falsely for Christ's sake is an oc
casion for glorying.
‘ M. The Responsibilities of the Sub
jects of the Kingdom (vv. 13-1G).
j The subjects of the kingdom are to
i live such lives as to purify and en
lighten those around them. Their re
sponsibilities are set forth under the
1 figures of salt and light. 1
1. Ye are the salt of the earth (v.
13). The properties of salt are (a)*
penetrating; (b) purifying; (c) pre-i
ovri v
t Since salt only preserves and puri
1 Tes in the measure that it penetrates,
so Christians only, as they enter into'
f the life of the world, can preserve it'
' from decay.
2. Ye are the light of the world (vv.
14 16). The subjects of the kingdom
should so iivo as to prevent the un
' wary from stumbling and falling.
III. The Law3 of the Kingdom (w
2‘ IS).
• 1. As to deeds of righteousness (v.
The deeds of the subjects of the
iingdom must spring out of natures
! which are like Christ's.
2. As to sanctity of life (vv. 21-26).
The duty of the subject of the kingdom
is to conserve and sustain his own life
and the lives of others.
3. As to organized life (vv. 27-32).
The family is the unit of society. The
two awful sins against the family are:
a Adultery (vv. 27-30).
b. Divorces (vv. 31, 32).
4. As to oaths (vv. 33-37). Speech
is the absolute test of character. The 1
truth, and that alone, is to be uttered
by a subject of the kingdom.
3. As to behavior toward those who
do not recognize the laws of the king
dom (vv. 38-48).
a. Not revengeful (vv. 39, 40).
Turning the other cheek after being
smitten, means, after one insult pre
pare for another without revenge
b. Willingness to do more than is
required (v. 41). Rather than quarrel j
with a man for causing you to do that ,
which you cannot help, show willing-'!
bess to do more.
c. Be charitable (v. 42). Our!\
hearts should always be open, ready
!o give to all, worthy or unworthy.'
d. Love enemies (vv. 45-48). Love
to our enemies consists in:
(l) Blessing them that curse us;
.(2) doing good to them that hate us;
(3) praying for those who despiteful
iy use us. Such behavior affords the
positive proof thet we are God’s chil
if wo, 1
has been faithful for the past 4 yrs
Sunday we are expecting a fine turn j
out for the weather conditions is on ;
the improve. We were glad to see so •
many friends in the Sunday evening 1
service. Come again I- assure you
that we are always glad to have you ‘
worship with us.
We have a great Bible Class every |
Tuesday evening taught by Brother
J. C. Parker that you are welcome
to attend and'learn more about the [
great plan of salvation. There is also ;
[ a Bible Forum that meet at Elder j
! Irving’s each Wednesday where j
j many important truths are discuss-1
ed. This Forum work is for the bene
fit of the people who are concerned
about the real truths of the word.
The .young people of Christ Tem
ple met last Thursday evening at the
home of Deacon Stafford’s and or
ganized a young people organization.
They will take up the study of the
Bible as a main part of theiif- pro
gram. Elder Goodwin was chosen as
their instructor in the absence of the
pastor.
Those present at the organization
were: Brother and Sister Stafford,
Brother and Sister Bankey, Sister
Verda Gordon, Sister Maude Hogan,
Sister Oneda Watts, and Elder Bur
ckhardt and Goodwin.
We expect this to become a worth
while organization.

PILGRIM BAPTIST
CHURCH
Rev. James H. Dotson, Pastor
Our services were good all day last!
Sunday. The young people were guest
at every service. In the morning our
pastor preached a sermon that was
enjoyed by all. His subject was:
“Why Am I Here? ’ “To this was I
born, and for this cause came I into
the world, that I should bear witness
unto the truth,” St. John 18:37- He
insisted that the youth of today stop
a moment and consider their life’s
purpose. The highest privilege in life
carries with it the greatest sacrifice.
I Some one he said m'ust carry the
work of the church on after the older
ones are gone and this is entirely up
I to the youth of today.
After the sermon one young wom
an came forward and expressed her
self, wanting to become a member
and said she is willing to do all she
! can to help make things go. In the:
| afternoon a chorus of twenty-five
; young men and women sang. The [
speakers were: Mrs. Bobbie Jones on;
: “How to use our Leisure Time,” Mr.
i Rogers of Presbyterian Seminary
spoke on “Religion, What Kind,” and
Mr. J- Harvey Kerns spoke on “Edu
I cation and the New Deal.”
i
Musical selections were rendered j
by the young men’s quartette of Pil-'
grim and Thomas Jones accompanied
by Miss Edrose Willis- Miss Lillie (
Avant was the charming Mistress of
Ceremonies." In the evening a large
crowd gathered early- After the de
votion, Mrs. J. H. Dotson who was in I
charge of the Young People’s service |
introduced Mr. Kerns who was Mas
ter of Ceremonies for the evening.
Orations were delivered by Oscar j
Washington and Henry Thomas- All
Omaha is proud of these two young
men. Mrs. Pearl Reese sang. Miss
Catherine Williams played two j
selections on the organ- The Har
monette Girls Quartette of Pilgrim |
rendered two numbers and Thomas j
Jones sang two spirituals.
The audience was loud in their ap- \
plause as the young men and wom
en made their appearances. The
chorus sang. Too much cannot be
said about the service Tendered by
the chorus, and the committee. Our
services closed with encouraging re-1
marks by the pastor, who spoke in j
very high terms of the youth of to
day. This was the beginning of a
series of Young People’s services
that will be held at Pilgrim this
year. We were glad to see so many
visitors present and invite you to,
come again to any of our services, j
You will receive a cordial welcome i

WEEKLY SHORT
SERMON
I Aid’s of Jesus
By Dr. A- G. Bearer
(For The Literary Service Bureau) j
I am the good shepherd.—John !
10:11.
Jesus talked of mercenary shep
herds who were '‘hirelings, whose ■
own the sheep are not,” and whose
chief interest was in their pay
checks. According to Jesus they
would not protect the sheep, they
would “flee when the wolf cometh”
and leave the sheep to be devoured ;
He had reference to unfaithful mer
cenary spiritual leaders who care but
little for the flocks they serve
Then Jesus declared Himself to be
“the good shepherd.” He gave as j
evidence His love for His sheep, His j
unceasing concern for their welfare, i
the sacrifices He was willing to;
make for them, the very tender re
lationship between Him and them,
and the supreme proof of His devo
tion in that “the good shepherd”!
would lay down his life for the sheep. I
This discourse was a rebuke to the
spiritual leaders of His day, and of
all times, and a source of encourage- 1
ment and assurance to His “sheep”
who know Him, are down by Him,
and who may depend on Him for all j
they need

American 6tegg .-.^—■», — -
A. M. B.—I am in love with a mar
ried man and I believe he loves me.
Ans:—There is but one choice for
you—YOU MUST GIVE THIS MAN
UK If he had any principle about
him he would not make advances to
ward you the way he has. It will
have to be done sooner or later and
my advice is to give him up entirely
before you WRECK YOUR LIFE
THE WAY HE HAS HIS.
A. H.—Will you please tell me how
to get the other part of my insur
ance money?
Ans:—I do not think it advisable
to spend very much of the money
you have received to date trying to
get the balance due. A legal com
plication prevents this case from be
i*g settled in full. You had best be
satisfied with the amount you have
received.
J. C. A—Will you please tell me
who broke into my place and stole
all my things.
Ans:—I vision two young men—
entering your quarters, on a Sunday
night and stealing your radio, your
bank, and clothing. The thief is
some one that has WORKED WITH
IOL IN THE PAST. There were
others implicated in this theft be
sides these two boys, among the
others a short, slim, dark complex
ioned woman.
H. M- B.—Does the man I go with
mean me any good?
Ans:—You have nothing to lose by
continuing this friendship. Neither
will you profit from any association
with this party for there is a wom
an in CALIFORNIA who rules him
and means everything to him.
22-4—Will I ever.become a moth
er ?
Ans:—There will be one child in
your life BY THE MAN YOU ARE
NOW LIVING WITH. I cannot say
just when this will take place.
E. W—Is my husband trifling on
me?
Ans:—He hasn’t as yet but he cer
tainly has been tempted too several
times. You had better take steps
immediately to keep L m away from
such temptations. He is just about
ready to GIVE IN.
0 M. B.—Will you please tell me
if we will get justice in our lawsuit?
Ans:—You are hoping for too
much- You will be somewhat disap
pointed in the outcome- It will be to
expensive to push this case farther.
S. C- C-—What do you see in the
future for me?
Ans:—It is indicated that you will
be fortunate enough to land a job in
the very near future. Steady work
during the year will enable you to
get back on your feet again- Make a
fresh start this week and begin all
over again LOOKING FOR A JOB
G W. B.—W'hat can I do to over
come my sckness?
Ans:—A first class CHIROPIDIST
can fix your bunions up in short or
der. It will take time—but in the end
you will be well satisfic'd with the re
sults
H. E- L.—Did my husband tell me
the truth and tell me if this is the
last of his pranks he will play
Ans—You are taking this matter
a little too seriously. After all, your
husband is really not the tyrant that
you lead people to believe- If you
think you have grounds for a separa
tion—I DON’T. Stick it out for the
sake of the two children.
