ST. JAMES CHURCH
GBEEN8B0B0
By Mra E. O. Favon
Sunday morning, Attgust 2nd,
Dr. H. C. Miller brought to his
congregation an inspiring mes
sage from Acts 11:26, “And the
disciples were called Christians
first at Antioch."
Dr. Miller said in part:
“Things laughed at turned out
to be mankind’s greatest bless
ings, namely: fsToah’s ark,Ful
tion's steamboat, etc. So it was
with Christianity, man's great*
est blessing.
What is it to be a Christian?
It is not baptism, although
that is a blessed ordinance. Not
alone the belief that Jesus is
divine; not sinlessness, nori
morality makes one a Christian,
but a firm belief in Jesus Christ
and an acceptance of Him as t.
personal Saviour, together
with forgiveness, because
heaven is built upon forgive
ness. Therefore, the hope of th:
world can only be found in this
Christianity that people once
laughed at."
Among the visitors at the
morning service were Mrs. John
Ferguson, of Tabor Presbyter-i
an church, Washington, D. CT
and Mr. Humphrey, of the city

Hello, everybody. This is the
A.-A. P. Broadcasting System,
Station C. H. C., Mrs. C. A. P:
F. at the mike.
We have been off the air for
eight weeks because the writer
was attending North Carolina
College Summer School at Dur
ham. Nevertheless our church
has been doing fine work under
the leadership of her pastor
and members.
July 19—Men’s Day
Rev. Walker preached as he
has never preached before. His
text was I Kings 2:2. It reads
as follows: “I go the way of all
the earth; be thou strong, there
fore, and show thyself a man.”
In our pastor’s discourse he
urged the men to be strong in
the Lord and to show to the
world that they are men after
God’s own heart The amount
collected Men’s Day was $22.
Our pastor preached a soul
strring sermon thafc hefld {hi*s|
audience in rapt attention. II
Kings 4:1-2 was the text.
These are its words: “Now
there cried a certain woman of
the wives of the sons of the
prophets unto Elisha, saying,
Thy servant, my husband, is
dead; and thou knowest that
thy servant did fear the Lord;
and the creditor is come to take
unto him my two sons to be
bondmen. And Elisha said un
to her, What? sjhaJT I do for
thee? tell me, what hast thou
in the house? And she said,
unto him, Thine handmaid hath
not anything in the house, save
a pot of oil.”
The third verse tells us that
]Blisha told this poor woman to
go borrow vessels abroad of all
her neighbors and to shut the
door and pour out into all these
vessels the oil that she had.
i Rev. Walker said that no
doubt this woman could not un
derstand how, with so little oil,
she was going to pour it into
all the vessels she had, but she
was willing to obey because she
had faith in Elisha. The trouble
with us today is that our faith
! is weak because the oil in our
vessels is low.
If the present day women
keep spiritual oil in their ves
sels, the world can not do them
any harm. And when the ojl
becomes low, let us turn to
Christ and ask him what to do.
He will make us a way where
there is no way.
The amount collected Wom
en’s Day was $26.77. The total
amount /collected July 19 and
August 2 was $48.77.

licious luncheon and iced drink

OLIVET, WALLINGFORD
AND ZION CHURCHES,
Our annual Daily Vacation
Bible School began June 22nd
and closed July 14th. The school
was under the auspices of the
three above named church**
Taking everything into consid
eration, we had a fine session.
There was a splendid group of
children and good attendance.
. The daily session began at
S:’0 A. M. and closed at 11:30
—three full hours of hard work.
The teachers showed great in
terest and enthusiasm through
put the term, thus making the
school a marked success.
The faculty was composed of
the following:
Miss Jessie Pearson, Princi
dl;
Miss Liline jPearsota, Regis
trar and Treasurer;
Miss Ella Pearson and Mias
Coaxum, Directresses of Music;
Revs. J. R. Pearson and S. H.
Scott, managers.
Miss S. Gillis taught the Be
ginners’ class;
Miss H. LaPrince, the Prima
ry class; V,
Miss Alma Frasl \ the Jun
ior girls; V
Mrs. Mary V. Frasier, the
Junior 4_ys; ,
Mrs. Jessie Pearson, Interme
diates ;
Rev. S. H. Scott, Seniors.
The school continued in ses
sion for three weeks with an
enrollment of 159 scholars. Our
course of study consisted of
the Bible and handicraft work,
rhe pupils committed the books
Df the Bible in order as written,
and the life and work of the au
thors and the outstanding char
acters of the Bible were care
fully taught. The Bible was
taught in its simplicity.
The children showed great in
terest in the handicraft work.
Many beautiful and useful
pieces were made by them and
put on exhibition in the closing
exercises.
The school was divided into
two parts: Red and White. A
club was organized, known as
the Doublers’ Club. The pur
pose of this club was to in
crease the membership. Every
pup® /who {brought Jin a new
member was enrolled as a mem
ber of the club and the one
that brought in the largest
number of pupils became the
chief doubler. Mrs. Jessie Pear
son offered two prizes to the
i ones who showed the largest
number at the end of the term.
The record showed Master Sin
cipian La Prince for the Whites
and Miss Olivia Scott for the
Reds, winners of the prizes.
This Doublers’ Club not only
doubled the attendance each
week, but it aroused great en
thusiasm and a spirit of rivalry
among the pupils of the divis
ions.
It has always been our cus
tom to open our doors to who
ever will come. All of the denom
inations usually take advantage
yf the opportunity. This term
we enrolled among the attend
ance 72 Presbyterians; 44 A.
M. E’s; 14 M. E.’s; 18 Baptists;
l Catholics and 6 Reformed
Episcopalians.
Monday night, July 13th, we
had our closing exercises. On
account of the inclement
weather the attendance was
small. However, we earned tne
program through. The program
consisted of an exhibition of
work done in the class rooms
.during the term. Each teacher
conducted his or her own pro
gram, and Miss Jessie Pearson,
our principal, presided with dig
nity while Miss Ella Pearson
performed at the piano. The
program as a whole was unique
and informing, showing pains
taking on the part of the
teachers.
...We wish to make # special
mention of Misses Jessie, Ella,
and Lilene Pearson and Alma
Frasier for their faithful ser
vice. And, too, we are obligat
ed to the Rev. 0. J. McLeod,
oastor of the St. Stephen’s
Protestant Episcopal Church,
for his series of lectures. The
messages were rich and intruc
tive. . .
Tuesday. July 14th, we had
our annual picnic at Grant’s
Park—the best we have had
for some time. . ,
