r he Reality Ot A Long-Time Dream ■ Y REV. V. ALTi-R M, PHII.I IPs SUNS El' ACRES APEX Sunday, April 13th, was reverential as v.ell asdec orative it St, Mary’s. , The Reverend U, S. W ade preached what would normally be an East er sermon, for the first sun da y, Easter, found him else where on his “appointed rounds.” Mary Magdalene came to the tomb while it was early, scarcely daybreak, and seeing the stone, wherewith the tomb had been sealed, taken away, she ran to Peter and to the other disciples saying, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid Him,” So, the question, where is Jesus? becomes appropriately cogent; Surely He is not at the Paris “‘peace table.” If He were the geometrical de sign (the shape) of the table would be of no consequence when men have a mind to com mune together ernestly. He will more frequently, make His currently infrequent appearances in Washington, the Seat of “Our Native Land,” when political expediency takes a backward step and lei jus tice, not altogether punitive, but mixed with mercy, take a step frontward. His feet are now, if not both, at least one, cros sing the threshold. Let us not shut the door in His face. Where was He when the “Poor People’s March” tramped into the bailwicks of some of our Black pastors? Some of them were rep.orted to have been asleep while walking, watching and praying were going on. Peter, do you now deny you ever knew the sired child of Martin Luther King, when just a week ago you were with one voice preaching the crucifixion of the father, along with the fate of the father’s Father? 1 know that our preachers and their congregations in Ra leigh will be hospitable to these persons and that our Gov ernor and officeholders will be attentive and responsive in a positive way. I am sure Dur ham was a sympathetic host and we are thankful. And, speaking of hosts and hostesses, our family, Rev. and Mrs. Lancey Raines and Rev. Apex News BY MRS. LOUISE COLVIN APEX - The male chorus of First Baptist Church was in charge of the devotions for the 11 o’clock "worship service. Na thaniel Lofton was soloist and organist. He performed well. The pastor, Rev. J. E. Per- kins, delivered an interesting sermon. His text was cho se n fi o m the 2 4th Psalm, verse 1. His sub-j ject, “Stewards Os the Lord,” was most in spiring. Com munion was served. Visitors worshipping with us included Mr. and Mrs. W illie Cross of Anderson, S. C., Mrs. Diannah M. Thomas and sons of Washington, D. c.

Charles Dorman ispastor. A panel, consisting of Pastors F. L. Rush, W. M. Freeman, Chas. Dorman and the leader, whose name escapes me, o pened a lively discussion of a “baffling query.” What can we do to more effectually com municate with the Black com munity'’ Answer; Teach your congregat ion, who probably pay you not to communicate, to know that they, too, must find an answer to, “Where is Christ”. If you claim that He is with you and yet deny the Rights to “These my equals,” what are you? Remember, He is no respecter of persons. male chorus of the Church ap peared on a program at the Prince Chapel Church, ‘ along with other groups. It was an enjoyable service.
