With beauty ever near,
Because we only know a trust
and never have a fear;
Our hope is always just the
same
Our God will guide us through
And we shall find a part of
Him in overjlhing we do,
And sometimes though your
heart can’t smile
Though dark the road you

You’ll always find your way
at last
Because there is a God.”

Today our thoughts go out
to all students who are complet
ing school and anticipating
graduation. We know you have
worked very hard and we are
happy to say congratulations,
for you are like workmen who
were building a strong road for
heavy duty road congestion.
There was a layer of soft sand
on the road bed entirely unsuit
able to drive over. Few things
are more difficult to drive
through than loose sand. It is too
soft. Over on nne side was a
pile of large rough cobblestones
some of which had rolled down
onto the sand and scattered a
long a portion of the roadbed.
They, too, would have been al
most impossible to ride over in
a car, at least faster than a
snail's pace. A workman, how
ever, was setting the rough
cobblestone in the soft sand
regularly and evenly and the
result w.iS a firm, hard and
comparatively smooth road,
capable of supporting the heav
iest truck. The combination of
the soft sand and the hard brick
arranged properly and leveled
off made a fine road. How much
we are like this roadway. When
we are first born, we are soft,
impressionable and weak, unfit
for life's travels. Then trouble
and stumbling blocks are
thrown into the soft life. They
don’t make the road any
smoother. In fact, they seem to
make it more unfit for travel.
But you and your thoughts are
the workman. You take the
stumbling blocks, the difficul
ties and hardships and rear
range them. They are pressed
Into the impressionable road
bed of life, leveled off and
arranged evenly. This builds
the road which can carry the
load. The strain and stress of
life is relieved. Don’t ignore
the trouble and stumbling
blocks which are In your path.
Don’t toss them aside, use
them. Smooth off the rough
edges and arrange them. Cob
blestones can be stumbling
blocks and paving stones. It is
all a matter of the way they are
put to use. Prayer will help
you on the road. Let us pray:
Our Heavenly Father, we
come to thank Thee for leading
and guiding us along the road
of life. We pray that Thy love
may become the ruling force in
our lives. Thou hast shown us
what is good: to do justly, to
love kindness and to humbly
walk with Thee. Bless the grad
uates everywhere and help them
to travel the road of success.
Help them to look to the God
of love, justice and mercy, who
rules our own small world from
within our souls and commands
us all to diligently- search for
Christ, who redeems life. Bless
the sick and distressed, the be
reaved and broken hearted.
Keep us near the Cross. We
are so grateful for the land
we live in, with the privileges
and blessings we have. Thou
hast given us much, but keep us
alert to the tiny flaws that can
grow and destroy us, in Jesus*
name, we pray, Amen.

GRACE CHAPEL AME ZI
ON - Sunday School opened at
10 with the supt., Mrs. Ella
Hinton, officiating. The title of
the Sunday, School lesson was
“God’s Call To Ethical Living, ”
taken from Amos 5:l0-15j2'.~
24; 9:7-8. Mr. Wayland Dunn
taught the adult Sunday School
class in a vary thought-provok
ing manner.
The morning worship serv
ices began at 11 with Mr. Dunn
giving the call to worship. Rev.
L. P, Per ry, pastor, read a por
tion of the first chapter of St,
Luke for the scripture lesson
and also prayed a very soul
touching prayer tor the conse
cration period.
Rev. Perry's theme for his
sermon was entitled, “The Cost
Os Following Jesus.” Soma of
the most important statements
that he related were these:
As the Messiah, Jesus was sent
to the w'orld to suffer for our
sins, we must realize there is a
cost we have to pay to follow
Jesus; It may not be death, but
In some other way. Rev. Perry
gave some examples of the cost
of following Jesus: the people
in your home may not lHo> what
you stand for. Some people may
be jealous of you. If you have
a happy home, someone might
try to break it up. The devil
may try to turn you around.
Some of the people in your
nieghborhood may not like what
you stand for. Ho further stated
that people will know that you
are a disciple of God by the
“life you live and the love you
have for others.” The disciples
of Jesus must be willing to bear
the Cross. Walking with God and
doing what you don’t have to
do for the service of God is
carrying a Cross. Rev. Perry’s 1
message w'as dynamically ex
pressed and spiritually en
lightening, The congregation’s
souls were stirred immensely.
The senior choir sang with a
feeling of warmth, under Mr.
William Vandergrift’s direction
and playing.
Rev. Perry extended an invi
tation to Christian discipleship
and we had another person to
become affiliated with us.
For the evening service at
7, we were invited to attend
First Cosmopolitan Baptist
Church, where Rev. Perry
preached the sermon for the
benefit of their trustee board.
His them?' was entitled “Why
I Know There Is A God.” A
few pertinent thoughts brought
out in Rev. Perrv’s sermon
were these: A famous philoso
pher said, “I believe in God be
cause I can feel Him.” Y’ou can’t
know God until you have ex
perienced Him. To the trustees,
Rev. Perry said, ‘when you
are alone at home, talk to God
and He will direct you in the
right way.’ He further stated
that the reason there is a God
is that He has experienced Him
and finds Him to be a fried.
Lastly, he said, he knows there
is a God because he feels His
warmth inside. Rev. Perry’s
sermon was brief and soul
satisfying; also full of spiri
tual enthusiasm. It stirred the
congregation’s souls.
The thought for the week is
this: “A mother’s love, the test
love; God’s love; the highest
love.” -by German
Remember, everyone is al
ways welcome to come and
worship with us. Miss Elia L.
Jackson is chmcn reporter.

to bear; sometimes the devil
upsets me on every hand; some
times there’s just noonetohear

hand. Lead me on. Let me
stand, I am tired and I am
weak, but Thou art strong.”

these lines sometimes from
your heart and I declare uito
you, the light will shine bright

Your professional hairdresser
knows the answer...
Was haircoloring
first done in Africa?
Centuries ago in Africa (before it was explored by Europeans)
beautiful black women used herbs and other ingredients to change
the color of their hair. It was one way to complement their dark
rich complexions... to accent their natural warmth and beauty.
Whether or not Africans were the first to use this method, no one
is sure. Yet, they are among the first in terms of recorded history
to go through the then-tedious process of coloring their hair.
Today changing your haircolor can be as quick and as brief as a
visit to your professional hairdresser. That’s because many pro
fessional hairdressers use Miss Clairol 1 ’ Hair Color to lighten hair,
to make slight color changes and to cover gray. Hairdressing ex
perts know that exotic blacks and browns are generally gorgeous
for darker skin tones. Golden or red shades are stunning for lighter
tan complexions.
Today black pride brings you closer to the cultural ways of your
African heritage. Haircoloring is a part of black history too. Ask
your professional hairdresser about changing your hair color with
Miss Clairol.. .and be more beautiful than you already are.
