SEVENTH STREET
CHURCH NOTES.
By Miss Marie S. Lindsay
Sunday morning our pastor,
Dr. R. P. Wyche, preached tc
us from Exodus 8:26-27. His
subject was: “The Freedom of
God's People.”
When we come to God we
must come as free persons, not
serving God on the one hand
and Satan on the other. Not
only must we be free, but we
must bring every thing that we
have to God. After God had
sent plague after plague upon
Pharaoh, he decided to let the
people go to the border land of
Egypt and there worship God.
God told Moses to take the peo
ple to the wilderness because He
wanted them to realize there
was only one God. They could
not fully realize this in the
land of Egypt, because the
Egyptians worshipped so many
igods.
Sunday night we listened to
a sermon from Acts 22:26. The
pastor's subject was: “The
Shipwreck of Paul.”
December 13th is rally day.
All the members of the church
and congregation were urged to
make a special effort and pay
the $10 asked of them.
The pastor and congregation
worshipped with Rev. Dr. Bro
die at the new Brooklyn church,
Friday night, December 4.
Various committees relative
to the Christmas tree were ap
pointed by the Superintendent,
Prof. J. D. Martin, in Sunday
School last Sunday.
The Woman’s Missionary So
ciety will meet with Mrs. W. M.
Mosely Friday afternoon.
The Seventh Street Guild will
meet with Miss Demetria Grier,
Friday evening, December 11.
The Beginners’ Department
reported $6 raised from the
Thanksgiving party. This
amount was turned over to the
church.
The Seventh Street church
choir is preparing to render two
selections—“Come, Ye Nations”
and “Behold, I Bring You Good
Tidings,” Sunday morning, De
cember 20. The Choral Society
is also planning to render two
numbers during the Sunday
School hour.
We were glad to welcome home
one of our own boys, Mr. Jos
eph Orr, Jr., of Boston, Mass.
Mr. Orr is the son of Mr. Joe
Orr, one of the trustees of the
church.
Visitors in our church and
Sunday School were Prof. L. D.
Taylor and Mrs. E. A. Chisholm.
We are sorry to note that
Mrs. Carrie Henry is confined
to her home on account of ill
ness. We hope for her a speedy
recovery.
WOMAN’S PRESBYTERIAL
MEETING, DISTRICT 5.
The Woman’s Presbyterial
Missionary Society of Catawba
Presbytery, District No. 5, met
Saturday, December 5, at' Love’s
chapel Presbyterian church,
Belmont, of which the Rev. W.
R. Mayberry is minister in
charge. The clearing away of
the clouds in the early morning
gave place for the beautiful
rays of the sun to make the
day especially suitable for the
meeting.
The meeting was called to or
der by Mrs. J. A. Rollins, Pres
ident of this district, which
comprises several churches.
Brief and inspiring moments
were spent in devotionals con
ducted by Mrs. Leeper, of Kings
Mountain.
After the devotionals the roll
was called, and the following so
cieties were represented:
Love’s Chapel, Mrs. Ossie
Williams.
Good Hope, Mrs. G. S. Leep
er.
Third Street, Gastonia, Mes
dames Pharr, Norment and
Ella Davis, and Miss Vivian
Shute.
Mrs. G. E. Davis, President
of the Presbyterial of Catawba,
and Mrs. Eli Jewel and Mrs.
Hallie Q. Mayberry, of Char
lotte, were present.
The ministers in attendance
were Revs. L. B. West, J. A.
Rollins, D. D., W. R. Mayber
ry, and Mr A. H. Prince.
After the enrollment Mrs.
Rollins expressed the aim and
purpose of the meeting in a
very touching and impressive
way, with the high hope for
the attainment of these objects.
Mrs. Hallie Q. Mayberry pre
sented the magazine, “Wo
men and Missions,” to the
attention of the group with a
precise and condensed synopsis
of the magazine, interestingly
and beautifully impressed, sum
ming up with an urgent appeal
to each society to obtain a copy
of the magazine for use.
Then Mrs. Eli Jewell invited
the attention of the societies to
Year Prayer Book, with appli
cable citations from the real
trend of our prayers as being
more or less mechanically ut
tered, with no guidance of the
Spirit. This book was urged to
be gotten by each society.
The next order of the
day was the presentation
of the mission study for
the year by A. H. Price. The
study is “Peasant Pioneers”
which is an embodiment of the
life of the Slavic people in
America and our duty to these
people. Personal experience,
coupled with careful observa
tion characterized this dis
course which was concluded
with insistent urge for a re
sponse to the needs of the
group of Slavs in our country.
Mrs. G. E. Davis gave helpful
remarks for the ^Woman’s Pres
byterial of Catawba, recounting
the strides made in it's financial
status as well as in its spiritual
expansion.
Remarks were made by Revs.
L. B. West and W. R. Mayber
ry.
.Dainty luncnes were serveu
by the good people of Love’s
Chapel and a jubilant spirit
permeated the meeting entire
ly
Rev. and Mrs. Mayberry are
the objects of the good will of
the people and are a power for
raising the standard and main
taining the work there.
The meeting adjourned with
prayer by the Rev. L. B. West.

A CALL TO ALL LOYAL
PRESBYTERIANS.
We are sending out another
S. 0. S. call. Bethany church
needs your help. Are you go
ing to stand idly by and see her
swamped beneath the great tid
al waves? She is speaking di
rectly to you, brethren, friends,
and classmates. We need $1,000
to pay on the bonded indebted
ness and to renovate the church
so that the house of God may
be prepared to entertain the
Presbytery next April, 1926.
Now, it is not a hard task for
a thousand Christians who want
to see and hear of Bethany flour
ishing and growing to give $1.
Many of you know how hard it
is for Bethany to pull her load;
but, by the help of the good
Master and her many friends,
she is bound to win. Bethany
is entrenching and recruiting
at the same time. We have
jbeen holding this fort for nine
successive years with a very lit
tle help from our friends. Per
haps you did not know this un
til now. If each friend will
give to this call, Bethany will
not ask of you soon again. May
I ask, whatever you do, do it
quickly? Say, in the next ten
days. What you do will be read
by the Africo readers. I feel
that in a few weeks we will
have much to tell you about
Bethany.
Now, friends, classmates and
others, who will be the first to
heed this most distressing sig
nal for help? Each one who
sends a donation, his or her
name will be engraved bn a tab
let and placed over the rostrum
where it can be read by every
one who may go into the church.
Send all money to S. I. Moone,
M. D., chairman Trustee Board,
and Liquidation Treasurer,

December was the annual ban
quet of the Rho Chapter of the

lege refectory, Friday evening,

lends itself easily to the deco
rative art of simple elegance.
The colors of the Fraternity,
amber and purple, gave the col
or scheme for the artistic
touch of the drapery and fes
toons of greenery. The coat^f
arms of the society was on the
walls; Greek letters hung
from the ceiling and an em
blazoned “Omega” shed light
over the portico, the whole
making a pleasing aspect.

remarks by the toastmaster,
Mr. W. M. Russell, and invoca
tion by Mr. A. E. Fortune, the

could have the unanimous sup
port of Marcus Garvey and his
Universal Improvement Associ
ation. Powell went to Atlanta
and conferred with Garvey, who
is a prisoner in the Federal
penitentiary there, exacting
from Garvey his support of the
plan.
Dr. Gregg refused to be im
pressed by the Powell-Garvey
combination, and Powell has
kept up the fight on the Hamp
ton Principal, which careful ob
servers recognize as a personal
one, making several trips to
Hampton and Newport News,
culminating in the meeting on
the 27tn, when the resolutions
were adopted.
The State of Virginia has
established ample precedent for
Hampton Institute in maintain
ing a white principal and ad
ministrative Board. The colored
public schools of Richmond and
Lynchburg have white princi
pals. Many state institutions,
including the school for the col
ored deaf and blind, the tuber
cular sanatorium, the hospital
for the insane, etc., have white
heads, instructors, administra
tive officers, etc.
The chief agitators at the
meeting held in Hampton on
the 27th, admitted, and even
boasted that they had never
been to Hampton Institute.
They had never studied condi
tions at close range and did not
know the authorities there per
sonally, still they were willing
to go on record as asking the
general assembly to pass a law
to correct a condition which
does not exist there.

Wells of the Simpson Chapel
M. E. church, was with us.
Wednesday night Rev. L. B.
West was with us and gave an
inspiring talk. He said he

we had before us. He said we
knew what was behind us but
did not know what was in front
of us. His talk was indeed a
treat.
Thursday night Rev. L. J.
Melton, D. D., preached. He
brought to us a good message
and was very liberal with his
pocket book. He contributed $5
in the collection.
Friday night Dr. R. P.
Wyche and his congregation, of
the Seventh Street church, were
with us. He brought to us an
inspiring and interesting ser
mon.
We want to thank these pas

presence and help during the
-meetings.

NOTES FROM GOODWILL
CHURCH, MAYESVILLE,
S. C.
Although there has been no
mention made of Goodwill
church in the Africo in a long
time, it is an active church. Its
membership does its bit to
wards the work in every re
spect.
Sunday, November 8, was
Communion Sabbath; and al
though the weather was bad we
had a crowded church. Rev. W.
J. Nelson, our good shepherd,
preached a soul-stirring ser
mon. His text was found in
Acts 1:8. His sermon was
forceful and to the point.
Everybody was made to look at
life from a different point of
view. After the sermon three
girls gave their hearts to God.
Everybody left the church with
a determination to live closer to
God.
