SEVENTH STREET CHURCH NOTES By Miss Marie S. Lindsay Dr. Wyche took for his text Sunday morning John 8:36. His subject /was: “Freedom.” He said in part: Freedom is one of those things that men love. They will lay down their lives for freedom. The freedom that Christ gives us is freedom to obey Him, to do His will and to do as He commands us to do. We are in bondage. Satan in clines us to do the thing that is hot good. He would never in cline us to do the will of God. Men must be free before they will be free men in Jesus Christ. We want to be free from the power of sin, from its in fluence. Some of the captains reported as follows Sunday: Mrs. Wm. Yongue reported $31.85; Mrs. Maggie Porter, $16; Mrs. A. E.

Miss Mary Cousar WasHhe speaker in the Young People’s Forum Sunday evening. Miss Cousar gave a helpful talk. The young people would do well to think of this message when they return home from school and during the school term.

Anderson, of Topeit{‘ ',‘ ka, Kansas, writes: • > ^ Jeremiah was lifted out p£ a .u; prison by a Negro, and Philip i lifted a Negro out of perplexity'" into the marvelous dight of tffc 'tl‘‘ full gospel and sent hirh on bis.1 ^ way rejoicing in his new-found ,uVi Christ. The “public” ,despised the Samaritan woman because: i she belonged to a hated people,• but Jesus lifted her into a new ' faith and made her an evangel of triitlv A state of mind has made possible the, ‘Jipi Crow, iV. car’ inf: which the Negro; isv,: " ‘kept in his place.’ Shall we con tinue to feed upon old supersti-^ tions and prejudices Which come, from the past as dead fingers V f of a ghostly specter, or shall we ^ be Christian in our every atti tude and contact? , “Is there a place in Topeka.,;, a where an educated Christian ; -k« Negro can enter with eleven other men whost skins happen.; n to be colorless and eat on an >>; j equality with them? You.will.. -j,.i have to search long to find such tv„; _a place. The cafeteria service of tke Y. M. C. A. and the Y-jW*. \v U. A. is not open ior sucn..^ u*t compromise.
