Take a leaf from the pioneer's cookbook and serve a hot
buttery home-baked bread for dinner tonight. This marvel
lous Spanish Biscuit Bread is literally easy as pie.
Pimiento-stuffed olives and cheddar cheese give it a
unique flavor that makes it as good with pot roast as it is
with scrambled eggs or a salad platter. It is a versatile,
hearty and downright delicious addition to breakfast,
brunch, lunch, dinner or late night snack.

a Parole Commissioner,
Dr. Davis has been

On Wednesday, Jan. 7
it rained, a cold, drenching
rain. The night before, Dr.
Davis had expressed great
joy in the fact that he was
being honored with a 1 2th
anniversary salute; this is a
brand new experience for
me; I have been made
happy beyond words to
describe my great joy. And
if this were the only night
of this anniversary, I
would be satisfied, happy
for all the nice things I
have heard said about
me.' From the sound of
the spattering rain, "The
Little Man with a Big
Spirit" wouldn't be
enjoying a grand finale of
his anniversary salute. So,
with much ''egg on my
face" I moved hurriedly
toward the church to
make the best of an
unfortunate situation.
My arrival at the church
was greeted by an
overwhelming surprise; the
wonderful people had
weathered the storm to
put in an appearance. The
Sunday School faculty,
many of its students,
superintendent Charles
Cameron; Rev. W. E.
by George B,
Daye, Pastor of Peace
Missionary Baptist Church,
A Male Chorus, Young
Adult Choir and the PMB
Senior Choir.
Miss Ava Darlene Best
presided over the 3rd night
of the 8-day salute. Ava
captured the favor of
tonights audience with her
youthful exuberance,
talent and graciousness.
Her opening remarks were
set to prose by the
budding poet;' The Story
of Grady Davis"
"There is a many
named Grady D. who
ministers a church known
as UBC. in this church he

had has a lot ,of power
That's why this week he's
our man of the hour. In
his heart and mind he
stands very tall but to
most his height is
considerably small.. Like
Ullyses S. Grand and
Robert E. Lee he helped
fight the battles of the
nation - and UBC. He
fought the battles with
determination and might,
just like J. J., he's our
"Kid Dynamite." He has
'Russ
just done so much at UBC,
everyone has learned to
rely on Grady D. His lion's
voice roars all thru the
church, bringing to us the
truth of God's holy words.
Now all that I've said has
been the truth and fun,
Union Baptist Church
we've only just begun.
' Keep on Truckin" Grady
Dee, I'm dedicating this
poem to thee: Friendship
is a priceless gift that can't
be bought or sold: But to
have an understanding
friend is worth More than
gold; and the golden chain
of friendship is a strong
and blessed tie; Binding
kindred hearts together as
the years go by."
"My Profile of Dr.
Grady D. Davis" was
executed by Charles
Cameron. His portrait was
based on the pastor's
leadership as a Civil Rights
Worker; his great courage
in facing up to the
dilemmas of our youth
during the '60's while
carrying on the oftentime
explosive demonstrations;
'"Dr. Davis was a great
inspiration to our young
people; his great courage,
bold approach to the
problem at hand was
encouragement for our
young leaders to continue
the work of the Civil
Rights Movement here in
the city, state and nation.
Dr. Davis was a family
man, an instructor at Shaw
University but he kep the
faith in God and faith in
what our young people
were doing and hung right
in there at the risk of limb
and life. He is truly a God
sent man for young
people."

GOD NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS
In Romans 2:11 we read that
"there is no respect of persons
with God," and these very words,
with slight variations, are found
many times in the Bible.
How wonderful! No "big
shots" with Him! Rather all stand
on the same footing before His
bar of justice.
Do you know why the kings in
Israel's history were - and were
meant to be - so rich? This was
so that they might rule with true
justice, beholden only to God.
The rich could not-bribe the king,
nor could the powerful intimidate
him, for he was far richer and
mas powerful than they. There
was only one person over the
king - spiritually; the prophet,
who kept reminding him of the
Word and the claims of God.
Well, God is infinitely richer
than all the wealthy rulers,
barons and magnates of this
world put together, thus there is
"no respect of persons with
Him. "
But now a question: If God is
no respecter of persons, why did '
He favor one nation, Israel, above
ell the rest and for many centu
ries bless them above all others?
The answer: God made a dif
ference to show that "there is no
difference" (Rom. 3:22,23). He
made an artificial difference, a
dispensations! d if f e re nc e , to
show that there was no essential
difference, no moral difference.
He erected a "middle wall of
partition between us" to show
that that wall must be broken
down (Eph. 2:14-16).
And thus it is that the same
God who once said to Israel:
"Ye are the children of the proph
ets, and of the covenant. ...Unto
you first..." (Acts 3:25,26) -this
same God now says:
"There is no difference be
tween the Jew and the Greek
(Gentile), for the same Lord over
all is rich unto all that call upon
Him.
"For WHOSOEVER shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved" (Rom. 10:12,13).
