ST. JOHN’S A. M. E. CHURCH
‘ The Friendly Church.”
Rev. J. P. Bryant, pastor.
The firs: Sunday in May was a
fine day at St. John’s. The Sun
day school attendance is still
growing. There is still room for
more. We are glad to see the
Men’s Bible Class doing so Well.
There is room for you. Come,
men. and join now. You can make
this the best class in the school if
you try.
The guest singers at the morn
ing service were Mesdames Pearl
Gibson and Venus Storms. These
women sang a duet from the Holy
Ci y by Gaul. It was very well
rendered.
Rev. Bryant preached from I
Peter, 5:7. His subject was:
“Our Father’s Care.” From this
subject he gave a splendid mes
sage. Some of the thoughts that
should be remembered are as fol
lows: “All people receive from
God, even the most evil sinner.
God cares and provides a place
for all because He prepared a
place for man before he was
created. He wants all people pre
pared for the everlasting home.
Chris, wants to get into the
heart to set up a throne of right
eousness. He cares for those
whom man turns aside. Every
person has a place in God’s King
dom, and each one can find his
or her place bet er than any else.
God wants the principles of just
ice and holiness invested in
the hearts and souls of men. and
He wan s men to make much of
the things which He has put into
their lives.
Rev. Bryant’s subject. Sunday
nigh*, was: “A Hand full of
Corn.”
The church and friends are now
looking forward to the big An
nual Banquet and the coming of
Bishop John A. Gregg on May
24th. The whole week-end will be
great at St. John’s, because the
Bishop wi'l preach on Sunday,
26th. and this is the day all mem
bers and friends, who can are ask
ed to give one dollar to pay on
the parsonage.
There were several visitors last
Sunday. Some among them were
Mrs. Thomas Mason, Nehawka,
Nebraska. Mrs. Hazel Reagan:
Mrs! Marie Hudgens, Air. and
Airs. W. S. Baker, Canton. Ohio,

what the people could do to help to
make this paper what they would have
it be. That is, with the support of
the community, the paper could make
more progress.
Mr. Sutton states that Rev. Miller
showed a wonderful spirit of coopera

highly appreciated, and was very cor

WEEKLY SHORT
SERMON
By Dr. A. G. Bearer
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
REBEKAH’S UNFAIRNESS
Text: And Rebekah took goodly
raiment of her eldest son Esau which
were with her in the house, and put
them upon Jacob her younger son._
Genesis 27:15.
It is exceedingly difficult to under
stand and would be more difficult to
explain the treatment of Rebekah,
Isaac’s wife toward her own first-born
child. This child was Esau and the
treatment was in favor of his younger
brother, Jacob.
1- It Was Unfair.—Esau was her
son, as well as Jacob. A mother had
no right to discriminate between her
own children. It was manifestly un
fair to deal thus whth Esau.
2. It Was Unjust.—There was pal
pable injustice in taking from one and
giving to the other. Esau was the
elder son and entitled to priority, ac
cording to the custom of the day- It
was a terrible thing for his mother to
rob him.
3. The Methods Were Dishonest
and Deceptive—This mother prepared
the “venison” from the home flock in
a way to deceive her blind husband.
She dressed Jacob so as to make him
appear to be Esau. She urged him,
coached him and was responsible for
this dishonest dealing with his broth
er.
4- Retribution Came.—In Jacob’s
flight, his fear of the wrath of his
brother, the hatred which lasted
through many years, the persecution
of Joseph his own favorite son by his
own brother, all constituted retribu- i
tion.
This is a lesson to all parents. It
reminds that such unfairness will be
more a curse than a blessing; that
retribution will come and demonstrate
there is no profit in such partiality.
ADVERTISE IT IN THE GUIDE
THE OMAHA COMMUNITY BIBLE
FORUM
The two visions John saw in the
9th chapter of Revelations indicates
God’s punishment upon the wicked
men. The sixth trumpet sounded and
John saw the great army of cavalry
men advancing on the Holy Lands.
This great army of horsemen seemed
to have been Turks and Arabians. It
does show the cruel nature of the arch
enemy of Mankind, which is the Devil,
who is a murderer and an instrument
which the Lord uses to avenge his
enemies.
The eighteenth verse reads that the
third party of men was killed by their
fire, by the smoke and by the brim
stone, which issued out of their
mouths. It must have been a great
consolation to the Seven Churches to
be shown how God would protect them
against the opposition to their relig
ious faith, and the same protective
hand is extended to the true believer
of the present age- “Better that a
millstone was put about his neck and
he drown in the sea than to offend my
little ones.

A Mother’s Tears
By R. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
In the dispatch that carried news of
the killing of the notorious Clyde Bar
row and Bonnie Parker there was the
sub-headline, “Barrow’s Mother Is In
Tears.” No doubt at the same time ■
Bonnie Parker’s mother was “in
teears”, also.
A few months later, Mrs- Barrow
was “in tears” for Buck Barrow, an
other outlaw son, killed as Clyde had
been killed, and Bonnie Parker’s
mother was again “in tears” for her
other daughter who was languishing
in jail, awaiting trial as a robber and
a murderess.
These are but two of the thousands
of mothers who are “in tears” because
of the doings of their wayward child
ren . If the tears shed by broken
hearted mothers should all be collected
they would fill all of the oceans and
deluge the world. If the sighs and
groans of such mothers coud be heard
at once the vibrations would cause
the earth to quake. If the hearts of I
such mothers might be exposed per
haps the sight would drive all joy
from the world.
When young people go into sin, com
mit crime, and are guilty of gross
misconduct they should remember that
these thing swill cause mothers to be
“in tears”: cause mothers to sigh and
sob; cause mothers to grow old, and
die prematurely.
Every living mother went to the
gates of death in the act of bringing a
child into the world- Many departed
ones, like Rachel, Jacob’s favorite
wife, died vicariously, that a child1
might live. It is inevitable that
mothers should shed tears of anguish
and sorrow because of anxiety for the
welfare of their children. But child
ren should not add to the burdens
and multiply the tears of their moth
ers by their reckless deeds.
These are thoughts worth consider
ation in connection with Mothers’
Day.
