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. dedi cates his ch'liken to God. 2.

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 BELLEFONTE CHURCH NEWS On July 6th the Women’s Mis sionary Society gave a program that was enjoyed by all who at tended. The money that was raised is being used to finance the monthly expense for the drugget on the floor of the church. The Missionary Society has had success in giving its programs for quite & while.

Silently, a long line of colored patriots, wavihg flags as they went, trod along Harlem’s highways in a procession stretching as far as the eyes could reach. Later in the evening a pro test meeting gathered a large sum of money to send to the jLeague, in session, a cablegram urging the League to disregard Mussolini’s claim to Ethiopia. Early in the week, many prominent Harlemites had sent letters to Washington urging the State Department to refuse recognition of the , Italian s claim. , CATAWBA YOUNG PEO PLE’S LEAGUE The Young People's League of Catawba Presbytery will meet August 6, 1936, at 11 o’clock.
