SEVENTH STREET ' CHURCH NOTES By Marie S. Lindsay Dial 7667 Communion of the Lord’s Supper was administered Sun day morning. Dr. Wyche was assisted in this service by Dr. C. H. Shute. Dr. Shute based his talk on Matthew 26:30. He said, Jesus at the last feast talked with the men who had been with Him for three years. He girded Himself with a tow el and began to wash the dis ciples’ feet. Peter did not want Jesus to wash his feet. Christ said, “What I do ye know not now, but shall know hereafter. Jf I wash not your feet you have no part with me.” Jesus made it plain to the disciples what the Lord’s Supper meant. We should tell our children and not let them blunder along. We should live in 'the upper room, that is in spiritual think ing. Dr. Wyche spoke on the bread of life. He said that any thing that sustains life is food. Bread and wine are emblems of Christ’s body and blood. There is no spiritual life without Jes us Christ. We must take this bread of life or perish forever. Sunday ! night’s discussion was led by Mr. Roosevelt Wor thy. The subject for discussion was: “How Can I Help My Community.” Mrs. Demetria Grier Dixon Mrs. P. W. Russell and Miss Annie F.

Cain, ’30 Last week Brainerd students -ntered into the” school activi. ties with the 'usual interest and enthusiasm that always seem to make 'work easier, lighter, more enjoyable and more beneficial. Since school has been in ses_ sion long enough for the ma. jority of students to have reg_ istered and to be taking part :n active work, an entertain, ment was given by the old stu. tents, as usual, in honor of the new students. (Saturday eve. ning at seven thirty o’clock, officers and members of the Y. M. C. A., of Brainerd, spon. sored the Annual Students’ Reception, which was given in Dining Hall. The program and Tames, planned by the organi. nation, exemplified orderly h inking Sunday, October 13, students 'nd co_workers entered into the usual Sabbath worship thoughtfully. First at 8:45, the Sabbath «chool lesson was studied in the various classes, and every, body, it is hoped, was benefited spiritualty and intellectual. !y. At five o’clock P. M., the Christian Endeavor exercises were interesting and instruc. tive, as many of the students ord teachers discussed the Lopic: Let Us Pray,” from many and varied phases. At seven o’clock the Y. M 0. A. and Y. W. C. A, met in ‘■hoir respective halls for wor. ~hio. The topic, “Striving for Life’s Best,” was one of inter. "ist for the Y. W. C. A., since it was based on the four.fold de. velopment which is the Brain, ard’s aim in education. SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION The Sunday School Union will hold its October meeting at Friendship Baptist church on the 27th at 4 o’clock. A very in teresting program will be ren dered. All Superintendents and their schools and friends are urged to be present. I am sending out this week from the office of the SynocJL cal representative, copies of the Assembly’s zoning plans, together with the retorn postal cards which we hope will reach all the brethren and the Church, es promptly, and the sessions \nd members will -consider the matter of the drive during the months of October and No. vember to rasie the budget for the Board of National Missions. These cards should be back in the office promptly so that we may know- what to expect. If special speakers are desired to put the drive over in a cen. Irally located church or church es, the request will be care fully considered and some ac„ ion taken at once. Brethren, )lease attend to this npr Immediately. The Great (Jpsreh has put us in the central zone, and sends us a challenge to do our bit in the matter of raising uncfs to evangelize our coun. try. Let us hear from you. We are iraying for your success. Your loval co.worker. Albion Academy, ton, N. C.. Oct. 14. JOHN A. SAY. BTDDl;EVJLLE CHURCH By Mi«s Sovella McCombs We listened to a very inspir ng sermon preached fey pur )astor, Dr. L. B. West. His ext was Luke 10:27. Part of lis discourse was as follows: rhe mind, the will and the ’eelings must all function in )Ur lives in which fthese ele ments do not function; these three ought to work together n one's Hfe. All three of these elements worked perfectly in the life of Christ. He was not only a pas sionate Christy {but He had a wonderful mind; it functioned m the matter of religion. It is the mind that determines whether.<>r not,we.-are te.be Christians. The intellect plays sn important part. Preaching is reasoning and setting a man to change his mind. The things that we are in terested in are the things that grip our minds. Christ was an Intellectual being. Christ was a great master mird. He spake through men of intellect. The fallowing visitors were present during the morning ^service. Mrs. Tnez Newkirk, Miss Laura Price, Miss Willie Mao Price. Prof. A. R. Dawson and Mr. F,. C. Gri«?g, of Wil mington. We are glad to note that Mrs. Mary Hull and Mrs. Alice Jewel are getting along nicely at this writing. The ministers’ aid society met with the Misses Shute last' Friday evening. An interesting urogram was rendered. Among the numbers on tthe program were an instrumental solo by Mrs. H. C. Dugas, and an ad dress by Miss Parker. The so ciety listened to an interesting talk by Dr. C. H. Shute. {Mrs. Kirkpatrick was a pleasant vis itor in the meeting. After the program was over a delicious course of ice cream and cake was served. The soci ety spent an enjoyable evening. A worried looking granger drove into town, tied his team °nd headed for the family doc tor's office. Without preamble he began; “Doc, the first time you’re out our way, I’d wish you stop in and see my wife.” “Ish she sick?” asked the doctor. “What’s the trouble, then?” “Well, this morning she got up at the regular time, about four o’clock, milked the congt* got breakfast for the hands, done her housework, churned, and long about ten o’clock she told me she felt a little tired. T expect she needs a tonic or something.” — The Farmer’s Wife. The real enemy of any State is ignorance ard the real rem edy , is an education which continues through life.—Lord Sankey.
