SEVENTH STREET CHURCH NOTES By Marie S. Lindsay Dial 7667 Our pastor spoke Sunday morning from the text, “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” He said: The gift of God is an unspeakable gift. Not only children, but others have come together for social treasures, but we must not forget Jesus Christ, for these social things will pass away- The main thing is the gift which God has given us- It includes all benefits, material, social and spiritual. The gift of God will go on and on. Jesus should be first and fore most in al1 our speaking and thinking. He said: “I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly.” That is why he came into the world. Our lives should be lives of of fering. How great should our gift be! We were delighted to wel come some of our girls home from college.

Services of a high order feat ured the last Sunday of the old year at Lebanon church. The ! sermon was preached by Mr. Moses Belton of Johnson C. Smith University, formerly a resident of Ridgeway. Choos ing as his Scripture lesson the First Psalm, Mr. Belton deliv ered a very scholarly discourse in which was clearly set forth the wisdom of delighting one’s ^elf in the law of the Lord rath er than walking in the way of the ungodly; of relying upon the guidance of God in the so lution of life’s problems rath er than upon human wisdom. The message was a very timely one which planted in the minds of the congregation a most ap propriate thought with which i to begin the new year The day having been set aside ! as benevolence Sunday, the special peering for that pur pose was taken, which amount ed to $22.22. Accompanying Mr. Belton to Ridgeway were his father, Mr. David Belton; his brothers, Messrs. D. 0., Joseph and Wil lis Belton, and a cousin, Mr Joseph Strother, all of Colum bia. Other visitors were Miss Ru by Entzminger, of Scotia Wom an’s College, Mr. and Mrs Roach and Mr. Otis Buggs, of Ridgeway, and Mr. E. L. Rho den. of Johnson C. Smith Uni versity, the latter a guest of the pastor, Rev- J. R. Dungee Out of town members home for the holidays were Mrs. Mary Jefferson, of New York, Miss Amanda James, of Scotia Woman’s College. Miss Carrie Mae Boulware of Bennett Col lege, and Mr. George Adams of Harbison Agricultural College, ?lso Miss Ella Adams who is teaching in Anderson, S. C Mrs- Janie Pickens, who re cently underwent an operation in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Columbia, is showing grati fying improvement. Master C. P- Adams, who sus tained a broken leg in an acci dent a few weeks ago will soon be able to return from the hos pital. Mr- and Mrs. Marion C. Mel ton and their little daughter, Marion Beatrice, returned to their home in New York City on yesterday, Jan. 1, after spending the holidays visiting the former’s father, Dr- L. J. Melton, 811 East 7th St. LETTER FROM DANVILLE, VA. Mr- Editor: Let your readers lear something from the city >n the Dan and about Holbrook Street Presbyterian church. We Presbyterians are moving along me. We had Mr. Buchanan, of the white Y. M. C. A. to speak for us Sunday. He gave us a eery interesting talk on Christ mas and how we should observe it. We have had the stained glasses put in the church m the place of those that were broken by the heat from the fire when the Industrial High School burned- It took the Pres byterians about fifty years to get this church and school where they were and it was very sad indeed to have this pull back. On account of it a great many children are out of school this year. If the Board should see fit to replace this school and make it a high school in which all teachers must have a degree there will be no trouble with those that hold elementary cer tificates. We are now planning to have the parsonage fixed, as we are expecting to call a pastor soon. We are look-ing for a God-sent man that has the love of God in his heart, and wants to carry on the work of the good Mas ter. Dr. Mark A- Matthews, of Seattle, pastor of one of the the largest Presbyterian churches in America , in speak ing before the Council of the Church in advocating consolida tion of some of the Church seminaries, said, the trouble with the Church today is that there are too many corpses leaning on the pulpits. He says there are not enough undertak ers to bury them Mrs. Verdie /Cowman's two sons that are attending school at Howard University, are in the city visiting their mother and friends. Miss Laura Blalock and sister are in the city visiting their parents. Mrs. Frances Garland Chap oelle and husband, of Medville, Va., spent last week in the city visiting her father and broth er and many friends Hon. Herbert Delaney, of New York, was in the city Friday, the 27th, and spoke to Waldon France’s Post No. 29, of the American Legion at Loyal .Bap tist church. JAMES A- GARLAND.
