Am ay James Church Honors Mrs. Robinson
—-- By leresa Simmons
Post Managing Editor
Creola Robinson, a
member of A may James
Presbyterian Church since
1946, received recognition
and a plaque recently from
the members of the church.
The plaque, which read
“For Dedication, Leader
ship and Stewardship,”
was presented to Mrs.
Robinson by Julia Aber
nathy and the ladies of
Amay James.
Presently Mrs. Robinson
is the “Mother of the
Church." She has taoghr'
the Junior Sunday School
Class; she was secretary of
the church; superintendent
of the Sunday School; pres
ident and treasurer of the
Women of the Church; and
treasurer of the Building
Fund of the church.
Perhaps the aspect of
church work that touches
_.Mrs. .Robinson’s heart
most is the fate of the
young people of the church.
She began planning outings
and trips for the youth of
the church. To this day she
receives frequent visits
and dozens of cards from
her “children” on Mother's
Day and on her birthday.

.“Mother of the Church”
She has no living natural
children. But there are so
many who feel that Mrs.
Robinson is the type of lady
they would want to call
“mama.”
Instead of calling Mrs.
Kobinson, granny or some
thing of that sort, many
just refer to her as Miss
Creola. You would never
think of her as 76 years old.
The best thing to do is not to
mention “old” around Miss
Creola anyway.
She’ll simply explain to
you that she is not old at all.
Indeed Miss Creola is a
unique person - one who is
loving, kind but most of all
honest.
“Some people may not
agree with me,” Miss
Creola began, “but people
today are more honest than
when I was young. It is
important to be open about
—what you do Because you
may hide something from
your neighbor but God sees
it.”
One may consider Miss
Creola a little ahead of her
time. Born in Charlotte she
readily admits to having a
^whirlwind of a personality -
always expressing herself -
at least on every occasion
except one.
7~”I was a cook',,T Miss"
Creola started. “And I
have served for President
Roosevelt and General
Eishenhower. Once
Eisenhower said that the
only thing a Negro could do
with a strip was to dig
ditches. It was all I could

Then on another occasion
Miss Creola had answered
the door of her employees
Upon greeting Eisenhower
who said "Is the man of the
house available?” she
promptly responded "Good
evening to you too General
Eisenhower!"
Miss Creola is a ladv of
spunk She is one
extremely opposed to
hypocrisy and lying "In
some cases parents may
drive their children a wav
from home by lying about
what they do and by being
hypocritical " If one
smokes and drinks behind
closed doors, but talks
negatively about others
wno smoke and drink in
public; tne tirst is just as
bad or worse than the
latter. Miss Creole
explained.
—Miss- -Creola -advises
youth to be the best. "Any
thing you go into give it all
you have Go as far as you
can go Don't ever feel that
r ■
it can't be done better.
There is always room for
improvement Think of
something to make it better
and be independent.’'
As “Mother of the
Church" Miss Creola
emphasis the importance
of attending church: “It’s
important to go to church
If the person can give me a
message it can become
food for thought - some
thing to make me think
Then when they come down
from the pulpit they are
just people like you and
■ me."
