Ur. It. A. Adams, pastor
‘‘The Friendly Ch«rch
Sunday School was delayed 15
minutes due to the fact that the
choir sang over station K. O. W.
H. At 9:30 we convened. Sun
day^ lesson was well taught by
our efficient staff of teachers.
The subject was “Asa: Life of
Trust.” I bhink it was the general
consensus of opinion of all that
Asa was a man in whom God had
supreme trust. Asa was also one
to recognize his duty to God. Due
to the absence of our Secretary
Mr. Lawrence Parker, who is on
a vacation, Miss Edna Blair is
substituting. She is very compe
tent in secretarial work as well as
an outstanding pianist. Announce
ments were made Sunday for two
socials to be given on Monday and
Wednesday.
Morning service was very effec
tive, Rev. Adams took his text in
Matthew 6:10. Thy Kingdom
i f ie, THiy 'will be done. T|h«
point that intereslod me was that
many people pray "Thy kingdom
como” and ill the kingdom would
came we would pray in reverse.
We know that the kingdom comes
through our hearts and if we don’t
open our hearts. It relies solely
upon oneself to open the door.
Don’t forget that next Sunday
is “Wcraens Day” With Mrs. L.
S. Adams behind it the women will
go places. The Allen Christian En
deavor was well attended by the
young people. The lesson was in
telligently led and discussed by
Rev. Rucker. Tho Subject was
‘Good Times in the Home.” It
dealt with dancing and card play
ing in t'he home. It is well to know
‘(that Young People did net take
tho usual side of saying that the
above was all right. The conclu
sion was that a Christian home
should not put up with such pro
cedure.
Tho request program was won
derful due to the fact that Mrs.
Gibson was unexpectedly called'
from .the city. Mrs. Pearl Hier
onymous who substituted for her
proved well very efficient as di
recteress. It goes without say
ing that oiur pastor i's a efficient
substitution. lie took Rev. Gib
son's place and «mng tbe solo ‘‘The
Sinner and tbe Song.” It was ap
pealing and effective.

JFirst we'll give way for one
important announcement, Should
you over look it, in the club news,
column of this paper. Mrs. Hen
derson, president of Pleasant
Green’s local wi hes to announce
that ota July 24 the local had a
lawn social and all the Ushers and
Et es were especially invited to
gather with friends.
Now to get along with our
I story. We want to say thinks tc
some body for I knew it was some
I well wisher or shall I say some
j praying Usherette that caused
good fortune to come our way in
tho form of a little gas that ena
bled us to take our Club Jelopy
out on its maiden trip. Oh yes, we
, were all lined out including the
I trusted cnaufU-'ur, Mr. itooeri
I (Bud) Green. You can trust him
, when you know he’s asleep and
| his assistant or my body in the
person erf Mr. Frank Cole. Aad
believe it «r not, at each point of
cnll we were received with out
s iretched hands. Of course they
| expecting us to drep something
I in the basket, j’ust as a little keep
piece until we returned again.
( On one of our . stops, someone
must have put out some advance
of our arrival and just as a safe'y
first measure they had the B. B.
Boys on hand to escort us should
wo by any chance venture too far
in the enemy lines. Thanks to
Lady Luck and our horse shoes,
we came out OK.
While our car was percolating
fairly well with a strong sou h
east wind and a gallon of gas we
set our compass and in dfue time
dropped anchor at the harbor
known at St. John’s Baptist or.
So. 13th St. The church your re
porter has been trying to visit for
many a Sunday. After being in
troduced by the good president of
that Local in person of Mrs. Sum
mers, we made a short but very
spicy and timely talk to the local,
praising them and also encourag
ing them in the good work and
their loyalty to the Union. After
the remarks the donation had been
given by us. the pastor spoke very
encouraging of the Union and said
ho was in accord wi h the set-up
at large and with that he bid us
god-speed and we departed in
another “good will trip’’ which
ended at the Urban League.
Mass Meeting
At 3:30 V. M. momoers oi tne
locals gathered at the Urban Lea
gue for the final meeting for this
month. To listen and see the re
ports come in by the different
chairman of their departments
(hat would spell Walk or Ride
for ogr delegates who turned out
to be our goad president for the
trip to the convention and New
York. Now we all know our presi
dent can’t walk that far. The con
vention opens Tuesday of next
week. So its up to the half and as
for as the three quarter mark, the
trip seemed very doubtful but
when coming in the home stretch
our old favorite FAITH began
to come to the front and at the
finish juft nosed in ahead of MB.
DOUBT with MISS I TOLD YOU
SO, coming in for the last money.
Now you will agree with me when
I remind you again, that there's
many a slip between the Dough
and the Trip. 1 told you our dele
gate had good (shoes) religion.
So after the race was over and
Hie winner acclaimed “meaning
money in the hand” the president
(and delegate) in her big hearted
way thanked the chairmans, locals
its members in fact every body
that donattd financially or at
least held a good thought for her
while struggling, and hoping foi
a realization that she had prayed
and hoped some day to sec a dele
gate from our Union start for
tho Convention.
Now es ehe took her leave Sat
urday night via the Zepher Route
to Chicago, there to join the other
delegates from every where, west
south, an 1 north ami east to en
train Sunday night in a said body
via Canada, Ruffrlo and New
York City and cross the bridges
to Brooklyn, we can only say to
you to enjoy every minute of your
trip and return to us lots of news

The ensemble on the left can look
very charming on practically anyone
who has a flare for youthful clothes.
The scotch-plaid effect of the bolero
should be wtorn loosely, with a match
ing bolt or band of the same material.
Note that the belt is extremely wide.
The dress is of contrasting color and
would look especially well in deep blue
crepe or rayon shark skin. The front
is tailored, and the skirt is quite full.
The young lady in white is wearing
just the thing for a hot clay—simple
and sweet. Made up in cotton or linen
the coat has slightly uffed leg-o mut—
ton sleeves and simple collar. Note
the unuual pocket effect with the flap
buttoning from, the bottom—simple,
but very effective. The skirt is very
plain except for the flare bottom for
comfort and freedom of movement. It
should prove becoming, no matter
what your complexion.
and maybe return to the conven- I
iion for 1940. You never can
toll.
Locals, Socials
Looking over my date calendar
for this week, I find quite a num
ber of socials are dated for this
week. Mt. Moriah local met Tues
day with its trip to the park.
Beiihel AME Friday 21st met with
its Hobs Travels and Pleasant
Green, lawn social Monday night,
i We can only say we wish for them
all the success and pleasantry. I
only hope your reporter will find
timo to come in on some of your
outings before the fun is all over.
Last week your reporter acted
as you might say “pinch hitter”
for our chief instructor, Brother |
Claude Williams, and make a cou- j
pie meetings, which I believe was |
quite profitable to all that was ;
present as I did mjr best to point ,
out and explain some of the duties 1
that is expected of a good Ushers
Local.
Tt seems that the locah are
over on the alert for new material
as I noticed quite a few new faces
on the different local baards which
make a nice showing.
Now to the sisk members, we
say we wish for you a speedy
recovery and that you will he up
and around again.
So with the same old saying—
