Tell Jesus” had completely
spiritually filled the sanctuary.

at the console. Rev. D.A. Peace
offered the call to worship later
reading John 15:10-14. Dea
con Henry Brown gave the pas

Mr. Brown had a friendly word
for all of these and he com
mended them to the pastor.
Then Rev. Peace set forth his
endeavors as he proceeds with
activity of being pastor. Lis
ten to these words as they seek
to depict the kind of a pas
torate to expect. Said he, “I
am hoping for a fruitful friend
ship. A concern for every
person. May not our friend
ship become an end in itself:
It might make us snobbish, sel
fish and unlovely. He seeks
honest advice and “Helpful Cri
ticism.” Criticism tenderly and
lovingly given. “Finally” said
he, “I have come to be every
body’s friend.”
Other musical numbers by the
combined choirs were “Revive
Us Again”, “Wonderful Grace
of Jesus”, “Just as I Am”,
and “Precious Lord Take My
Hand.” A courageous and en
thusiastic audience was on hand,
please believe me.

Each week it seems that our
hearts are saddened by the
passing of loved ones, friends
or relatives. These are the
times God tries our hearts for
falrth, love and sympathy.

a wonderful

BY MRS. MAY L. BKOADIE
The scripture says, the right
eous shall flourish like the
palm tree. Let us see what this
comparison means. The palm
grows not in the depths ofthe
forest or in a fertile loam,
but in the desert. Its verdue
often springs apparently from
the scorching dust. It Is a
friendly lighthouse, guiding the
traveler to the spot where water
is to be found. The tree Is
remarkable for its beauty, its
erect aspiring growth, its leafy
canopy, its waving plumes, Its
emblem of praise in all ages,
its very foliage is the symbol
of joy and exultation. It never
fades and the dust never set
tles upon it. It was therefore,
twisted into the booths of the
feasts of tabernacles was born
aloft by the multitude that ac
companied the Messiah to Jeru
salem, and It is represented
as in the hand of the redeem
ed In Heaven for usefulness.
The tree is ur.iversable ; Gibson
says that the natives of Syria
speaks of 360 uses to which the
palm is applied. Its shade re
freshes the traveler, its fruit
restores his strength, when his
soul fails for thirst, its an
nounces water. It* stones are
grounds for his camels, its
leaves are made into cutches,
its boughs into fences and walls
and its fibres into ropes of rig
gin-its best fruit moreover is
borne In old age. The finest
fates being often gathered wheh
the tree has reached 6 hundred
years. It sends, too, from the
same root a large number of
suckers which in time enable us
to so spend the fay athat our
spiritual life shall be enriched
by its experiences and our fel
low men helped by our influence
and to maintain a conscience
void of offense toward God and
man. Above all, merciful Father
we bless Thee for Jesus Christ,
Thy sc®, our Savior grant us
Thy spirit, that we may be
able to follow In his footsteps
and grow in His likeness. We
commend to Thy love and care
all that is dear to us and all
men everywhere in their need
of Thee. May Thy gracious
hand lead and keep them till the
discipline of life Is over.- Then
may we all be brought into Thy
glorious presence and find a
place in Thine everlasting king
dom through Jesus Christ our
Lord, amen.

GRACE CHAPEL AME ZION-
Sunday School opened at 10 with
the supt,,, Mrs. Ella Hinton,
in charge. The topic of the In
ternational Sunday School les
son was, "God Reveals Him
self,” taken from John 1:1-5,
9-18.
The morning worship serv
ices began at 11, with the pas
tor Rev. L. P. Perry, presid
ing. Rev, Perry read the scrip
ture lesson, also. Mr. Wayland
Dunn prayed a prayer of God’s
grace to men for the consecra
tion period.
The choir sang beautifully and
with much enthusiasm under our
minister of music, Mr. William
Vandergriff.
Rev. Perry’s sermon v/as en
titled, "Living In Dangerous
Times.” He began with this
verse in the Bible, "and I, if
I lie lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me.”
Christ Is giving us a command
and a promise in this verse.
Lifting up Christ is living a life
of prayer. Lift Him up in our
homes, work and churches, etc.
You can do this not by always
talking alxiut Him but living the
life. Our churches are weak
because we fail to lift Him up.
Prayer is needed first in the
homes and then in schools. We
must bring God into our own
lives; making Him the center
of our lives. Do everything to
the glory of God. Don’t do
things for a pat on the back
because you won’t always get
praise for what you do. Some
times people may, say good
things alxiut you and then some
may say bad things alxiut you.
Lastly, Christian life is a wav
of life and we must walk there
in. The sermon was spiritual
ly Invigorating to the congre
gation.
Mr, Dunn as you know is one
of our most well-known citi
zens, dedicated and loyal mem
bers. He was commissioned as
an Exalter (to praise or lift
up) by Presiding Elder Beebe
and will serve as a local mini
ster also. (“God’s - blessings
to you Mr. Dunn.”).

YOur professional hairdresser
knows the answer...
YVas 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 Vet. they are among the first in terms tof recorded history
to go through the then-tedious process of coloring their hair.
Today changing your haucolor can be as quick and as brief as a
visit to your professional hairdresser. That's because many pro
fessional hairdressers use Miss Clairol* Hair Color to lighten hair,
tb make slight color changes and to cover gray. Hairdressing ex
perts know that exotic blacks and browns are generally gorgeous
for darker skm tones. Golden or red shades are stunning for lighter
tan complexions.
Today black pride brings closer to the cultural ways of your
African heritage Hawcoloring 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.
