BRANDON CHURCH NOTES
By M. L. Andrews
We were very wen iea spir
itually as we listened to Dr.
A. P. Corley as he preached
briefly from the. theme, “Find
ing and Bringing.” His text was
John 1:41-42. It was clearly
toldi how (the disciples sought
John, thinking he was a great
man, and how John said “there
is (me coming after me who is
greater than I.” The disciples
looked out and saw this man
coming. John said: “Behold the
Lamb of God that taketh away
the sin? of the world.” This
claimed the .attention of the dis
ciples and one said: “Where
dwellest thou?" The answer by
Jesus was: “Come and see.” So
a good way in our life to find
out about Jesus is to come and
see for yourself. As Andrew
found Jesus, he went and
brought his brother; not only
Andrew did this, but others.
In conclusion we had several
instances of finding and bring
ing to Christ, The point of
greatness was also emphasized
in that we find greatness in
finding Christ. The discovery of
America has meant much, also
the discovery of steam and elec
tricity, but the discovery of
just one living soul for the
Christ is worth more than all
the material discovery the
world has ever known.
When we find Christ, this
world becomes a new world; we
become as Paul said, “new crea
tures in Christ." Dr. Corley also
said the first duty is, to fin
Christ, for yourself, then bring
Christ in the home to others.
He said it is surprising to know
how seldom Christ is discussed
in the home as the Saviour of
the souls of men.
A large audience heard the
sermon and one person joined
the church.
We were very happy to have
the following visitors present
Sunday: Mr. and Mrs. Taft Wal
lace, Mr. Mack Wyche, of Da
vidson, N. C., and Mr. James
Wilson. <i
The “Life of Christ," present
ed by Prof. N. C. Crosby, was
largely attended. We are ex
pecting a return on Thursday,
July 23. Do not miss this great
picture. 1
The Young People’s Forum
will meet with Mrs. Grace Rob
inson, 1400 N. McCall Street,
Tuesday night, July 21, at 8
o’clock.
Remember, we welcome all
visitors.

hand $21.35 for our paint. It
seems that all are doing their
very best. I am glad that the]

plainly the way of the cross. It
is up to us to take*; our choice
as to the way we desire to go
That is the one thing we have
to do for ourselves—shoulder
our own cross. By faith and
humble prayer Christ will re
member us as he did the thief
and robber when they cried out,
“Lord, remember me.”

VOTE WITH PARTY IN POW
ER IN SOUTH
Baltimore, July—(ANP)—“It
is rapidly dawning on the Ne
groes in the Southland that they
are not disfranchised because
they are black but because it is
considered politically expedient
so to do by the dominant party
in power. Democrats control
most °f the extremely Southern
States and they know that hith
erto all Negroes have voted the
Republican ticket solidly,” de
clared Editor Roscoe Dunjee
Wednesday in an address on th
“White Primary” before the
27th annual session of the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored Pe>ple,
convening at Sharp Street M. E.
church.
“Down in Oklahoma we have
proven that this is true,” de
clared Dunjee, ^because in our
State Democrats beg Negro* s to
vote. We have learned down in
Oklahoma that voting is a cold
blooded proposition, which one
must approach With stra'egy
and #5chnique,” continued (the
militant editor.
“Our basic technique is to play
ball with the party in power,”
said the Oklahoman. “We dis
miss the idea individualism
ind after mapping out a pro
gram in racial rights we sell
to the highest bidder for those
things and not for personal
gain.”
“The Negro in the Southland
will never securely gain his bal
lot privileges unless he learns
to make friends with the white
men and women who control
the South. Thb Constitution of
the United States, through its
States’ Rights provisions, gives
the States absolute control over
life, liberty and property, and
if the Negro ever hopes to drive
bargains with government or
these fundamental problems, he
must drive that bargain with
State authority and not in the
federal structure.”
Sharp attack was made on Ed
ior Dunjee’s views by Attorney
Thomas Giles Nutter, of Wesl
Virginia, and delegates fron
Kansas, but the Oklahoman was
able to stand his ground anc
with quick repartee convinced
the large audience that his
blanket of facts was sufficient

Later in the evening a pro

sum of money to send to the

urging the League to disregard
Mussolini’s claim to Ethiopia.
Early in the week, many

Mrs. Martha Johnson, who
has been in the employ of the

splendid record as a saleslady.
She was recently given a certi

Reddy Kilowatt Club, and also
received a letter from the office
of the company commending
,her “outstanding record” in
salesmanship. Mrs. Johnson is
.on the Kilowatt Honor Roll,
which is regarded by the com

far as we know she is the only
colored salesman aihong the

Company.
Nothing can be wholly un

beautiful.
