WHITE CHURCH INVITES
NEGROES
CHARLOTTE, (CP)—Neg
roes of Charlotte “will be allow
ed to attend the Sunday even
ing Service of the First Presby
terian church,” Dr. W. C. Rob
inson, supply pastor of the
church has announced.
He had discussed the (jnestion
witli members of the church and
it was agreed “that the move
be tried.”
No mention of Bishop C. M.
“Daddy” Grace was made, but
it is clear the church is “allow
ing the Negroes to attend” to
combat the influence of Bishop
Grace.
As late as the middle of the
week, no invitation had been is
sued to Negroes, but an an
nouncement in the ch^irch bul
letin for Sunday said “seats will
be provided for any colored
friends who 'desire to worship
with us at the evening service.”
The sermon subject at the ser
vice will be “The Gospel of the.
Grace of God. The text anounce-
ment reads:
The grace of God is the most
precious possession of tlfe Chris
tian heart, the unending theme
of Chiristian contemplation.
Moreover there is a special
son why we Christians in Char
lotte ought to have clear concept
ion. Moreover there is a special
reason why we Christians in
Charlotte ought to have clear
conceptions of the meaning of
God’s grace and share these with
our colored neighbors.
“God’s grace is His love even
for the unlovely, his mercy for
the illdeserving; it is the free-
uegs of that love; it is the per
sonal action and power of the
Holy Spirit shedding abroad the
love of God in our hearts and
quickening us to spiritual life.
“In Samaria Simon gave him
self out as “the great power of
God” nd tried to buy the privi
lege of distrubting the Grace of
God. The Apostle Peter answer
ed him thus:
“Thy mouey perish with thee
because thou has thought tlijat
the gift of God may be purchas
ed with money.
Mr. Ward will provide seats
for any colored friends who de
sire to worship with us at the
, Prof. C. M. Eppes, supervising principal of the colored
schools of Greenville, who begins his 65th year as a teacher in
the North Carolina educational system. Prof. Eppes also is
very active in all civic matters pertaining to his race.
