Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 12, "DELIGHTED" Through the double grass doors of the white House, past the expressionless Negro footmen, into the ultimate social sanctum of the land, three passed one afternoon last week, a slended, middled-aged invaded guest wearing an afternoon dress of capri blue chiffon, a grey coat trimmed in moleskin, a small grey hat, moonlight grey hose, snakeskin slippers. She was well pleased to be there; to be greeted by the First Lady; to see Mrs. Good, the Secretary of War's wife, pouring the tea, and Mrs. Attorney-General Mitchell conversing positively. Also present were a Mrs. Bacon, a Mrs. Kelly, a Mrs. Free, whose husbands are U. S. Representatives from New York, Pennsylvania and California, respectively, and many another lady of Washington's officialdom. The guest in the blue chiffon gown with moonnlight hose and snakeskin slippers was glad to meet them all because she felt that she belonged among hem. She was Mrs. Oscar De Priest, the wife of a new U. S.' representative from Illinois. Mrs. De Priest's husband is the first Negro to sit in Congress since 1900. She was the first U. S. member of their race to be entertained in the White House proper since Oct. 16, 1901, when President Roosevelt had the late Booker T. Washington at his luncheon table. After that occasion there was such a socio-political commotion that President Roosevelt thought it best to explain that Booker T. Washington had called while the President was just finishing his lunch and had been invited into the dining room "to save time." No such aftermath followed Mrs. De Priest's visit. In fact, almost before Washington started buzzing this time, George Akerson, the President's Secretary, issued a statement saving: "All the wives and families of all members of the Senate and House have been invited to call at the White House for a series of teas given by Mrs. Hoover. No names whatsoever have been omitted." Negro Congressman De Priest was thoroughly pleased. Said he: "I am delighted beyond measure at the fine social contacts my wife was able to make at the White House.....Sho greatly enbved herself and is greatly delighted." By no means every one in Washington was delighted, however, and though the Akerson statement closed the matter so far as the Hoovers were concerned, it did not silence the capital's buzzings, which contained a deep political undertone. Senator Caraway of Arkansas had a newstory of the affair read into the Congressional Record, refraining carefully, save for a characteristic wrinkling of his nose, from any comment. But South Carolina's Senator Bease blurted: "Didn't I warn my audiences in the South in the last DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UPPER & LOWER SOUTH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UPPER & LOWER SOUTH NEW YORK, June 14—Returned to New York from a speaking tour and the organization of Branches in southern states, Robert W. Bagnall Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today stressed the difference in temper and atmosphere he found existing between the upper and the lower South. "in the upper South," said Mr. Bagdall, "colored people talk of their rights and the work of the N. A. A. G. P., as a matter of course, without fear. That is true in North Carolina, in Tennessee and in upper Georgia in most towns and cities. But in the lower South, Negroes in many cases are afraid of expressing anything that even looks like an assertion of their rights. "A process is under way that looked to me very much like terrorization on the part of white authorities to keep Negroes down. One exception is in southern Georgia, long a bad section, where Negroes are now bolder and atosacities have become less owing to the depopulation of that section by the northward migration of colored workers. "Alabama and Mississippi are still the most timorous states. Birmingham remains the worst part of Alabama despite the 100,000 Negro residents of the city. The wealthier Negroes feel the necessity of standing in with the whites and the averse to anything that might be interpreted as a demand for their rights." CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness during the sickness and death of my son, and our brother, (Osborne Glvens). Also for the many Floral offerings, cards of sympathy and the many friends that furnished cars. BLANCHIE GIVENS, (Mother) Sisters and other relatives. NEGRO RETAILORS CO-OPERATE Recently in Montgomery, Alabama, a small group of grocers, hard pressed by chain store competition, decided to do their buying collectively and to advertise as a group. They formed the Colored Merchants Association. Their stores are now known as the C. M. A. Stores, and their joint advertising appears regularly in Montgomery newspapers. Orders are pooled and buying is done through the office of the association for each store in the membership. This movement, born of necessity and developed in harmony with modern business' practice, has already meant more profit, larger volume of business, improvement in appearance and service of the C. M. A. Stores, and through its success has stimulated the Negro merchants of the city. An outgrowth of this venture in modern methods was the campaign for better Negro business held April 15th to May 5th in Winston-Salem, N.C., conducted by the National Negro Business League and its Winston-Salem local, together with the recently formed Colored Merchants Association of Winston-Salem. The program of this campaign included the organization of the local Negro grocers into a co-operative buying association. A central feature was the set-up of a modern grocery store. The store of James A. Ellington was selected for remodeling under plans and specifications thoroughly up-to-date, and as a demonstration in store renovation and arrangement, and in showing the public what could be expected of C. M. A. Stores this practical aspect of the campaign was most important. The model store opened on Saturday morning. By night its shelves were entirely cleared of goods. Under the impetus of this success others of the twenty-two charrier members of the Winston-Salem C. M. A. Stores are planning to remodel their premises. Through lectures, the older school boys and girls, the housewives, the business men were reached; and the public addresses of Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League and of Dr. Gorton James of the U. S. Department of Commerce, attracted with attention. Thus the buying public was made ready to take advantage of whatever of values and service the C. M. A. Stores might offer. On the other hand, the talks to the grocers themselves on store management, merchandise display, advertising, co-operative buying and record-keeping, coupled with the demonstration store so balanced the campaign that resulting stimulation of business means more temporary gain. That the results of this concrete work, planned and directed by Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, will have far-reaching consequences there can be no doubt. It is a movement which bids fair to put courage, better business methods, and prosperity within the reach of Negro retailers through out the South, offering at the same time courtesy, fresh goods, clean stores, and attractive prices to patrons of Negro business.

FRIDAY, June 28, 1929 $30000 DONATED TO TALLADEGA $1000 PLEDGED TO TALLADEGA BY TWO NEGROES. The campaign to raise $500,000 in order to meet the conditional gift of $500,000, made by the General Educational Board to Talladega College, is going on more vigorously than ever before. It is gratifying to note that colored people, in general, are taking such wide interest in the work. Only recently Mr. John L. Webb, Supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of Union, with home offices at Hot Springs, Arkansas, after visiting the college and observing the work done there, subscribed $1,000 on the five-year program and expressed his desire to pledge more. Mrs. Lillie Annie Jones Johnson, a graduate of Talladega College, in the class of 1886, also pledged $1,000. She was present during commencement services. Mrs. Johnson is a very prominent business woman of Nashville, Tenn. Colored people have already subscribed and paid in part, more than $4,300. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago, made a gift, without any conditions, of $30,000, bringing the total amount subscribed and partly paid in from all sources, nearly $220,000. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The Inter-Church Camp, to be conducted again this year by the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., will be held at Camp Hyde, July 1-6 inclusive. Each of the ten churches will send one boy; his expenses being shared by the church and Y. M. C. A. Several boys will go from the boys' clubs of the Y. M. C. A., and some boys, independent of both church and "Y." will be sent by their parents. W. L. Hutcherson will be in charge, assisted by G. B. Winston, associate secretary of the Water St., Branch Y. M. C. A. While several reservations have been made, there is room for a few more boys. Those interested, please call Water Street "Y." and sleep the whole night through, breathing the pure, sweet scented air from the fields and stream. Oh Boy! It's a great life, and we invite you to be with us in Camp Hyde, July 1-6. Put me in touch with the heart of the Boy. Let me study his doubts and fears, Let me try to snow him the way of life And help him avoid its tears. For the heart or the Boy, in its bouyancy, Is one that is pure and fine; So put me in touch with the heart of the Boy, The heart of the Man-to-Be.

Fuller of Marshall, Texas, is the only Negro in the history of that school who has had the distinction of representing it at the college graduation exercises. Mr. Fuller entered the Massachusetts institution in 1928, having obtained his A. B. degree from Wiley College, Marshall, Texas, and the degrees of B. S., A. M. and Ed M., from Boston University. According to Professor Clarence R. Skinner of the Department of Applied Christianity, Tufts College of Religion, and a noted Boston liberal, all of Mr. Fuller's grades in the religious school have been A and A-indicating, it is pointed out, unusual scholastic ability. Other professors and instructors who praise the young man's competence, as a student and scholar are Norman B. Nash of the Episcopal Theological School of Cambridge, Mass, where Mr. Fuller studied Christian Social Ethics for two years; Leo S. McColleater dean of the Crane Theological School at Tufts, and Frank Oliver Hall, D. D., of the Department of Homilians. Mr. Fuller's graduating address, entitled "The Need of Emotion in the Liberal Church," tended to show that to be successful, religion must do two things, namely, "Direct the mind by sure and clear statements of enduring truths," and to "Meet heart hunger, which can be done only thru the emotions."—Clipping. sacced the roostrum and chose his text Acts 9:3-5; Subject, "Unprofitable servings"; and delivered a burning message.

NEW YORK, June 21—"Rope and Faggot," written by Walter White, is to be used for reading in graduate and un.agrduate courses on race relations by Professor Donald R. Young of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, at the University of Pennsylvania, it was announced today. ProfessorYoung says of the book: "I think it would be most valuable for any university teacher on that subject. It is a stirring presentation of facts which have too long been neglected." CITIZENS WISH TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT SPEAK Mound Bayou, is the Negro town in Mississippi, which our last report showed they were tearing down the jail because the people had learned self-government and the jail had not been used for more than two years. On July 12thr is Founders Day for this little town, and they are asking that President Hover speak for them on that day, to help raise $1,00,3,000 for this town as a boost to enterprise such as building a hospital, bank, etc. "A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM" What a blessed world this will be when the Master's Prediction of peace and tranquility shall pervade the whole earth. He said there shall be a time when His kingdom shall come upon earth and a little child play upon the hole of the asp and the lion and lamb shall lie down together and a little child shall lead them. The Master was wise. He knew that if this kingdom of love must reign on the earth, the youth must lead. Youth's heart throbs with earnestness and unselfishness. Direct that earnestness and unselfishness in proper channels and it spells peace and tranquility. The youth's life must develop thro' and take its cause thro' well defined channels, just as the water course in a great river. The news that comes from Estes Park Student Conference as reported by W. L. Hutcherson, one of the leaders there, is, that youth is leading in religion, and interracial goodwill. His words are these: "The youth who has had his course of life directed through contact in Y. M. & Y. W. C. A. Conferences and Camp, is thinking in terms far in advance of the ministers, Y. M. & Y. W. C. A. secretaries and laymen. He is willing to go the whole round with his Master Jesus Christ in bringing His Kingdom upon earth by the abolition of race prejudice and tolerance toward those of different opinions and religion."—G. B. WINSTON. MUD AND DUST MUST GO (Industrial News, current) Twenty-five years ago in this country a good road was the exception, rather than the rule. Now we have the greatest highway system in the world. The growth in use of the automobile was responsible for this development. Money spent for improved roads is returned in social and industrial benefits. Highways are the foundation of community progress. Now a new phase of highway expansion is appearing, the building of secondary or feeder roads. Roads are being extended into rural districts as never before since methods have been devised for using asphalts and road ails to give waterproof hard surface at a minimum of expense. EXTRAVAGANCE "American taxpayers are having to carry too heavy a load," says the Corpus Christi, Texas, Caller, "There are too many 'public servants' on the pay rolls. From the multiplied bureaus at Washington down through the various state captolts to the smallest city ward or county ball-wick there are too many salaried positions in proportion to the service rendered. The overlapping of county and municipal governments has produced needless duplication, and it seems that at every meeting of the state or national lawmaking bodies new offices or salaried commissions are created. "Bond issues have made possible extensive improvements in public buildings and public roads, but at the same time there has been much money wasted. "There is so much waste and extravagance in government we sometimes wonder that taxpayers continue to endure the system. Good business judgment should prompt business men, high and low, to combine their efforts to check the growing tax burden; for after all, taxation is a burden upon business and business expansion."

PRIMARY TOPIC—Stories Retold JUNIOR TOPIC—Learning to Serve God INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—True and False Leaders. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Gods True Prophets. The quarterly review always brings its problems. No set method can be prescribed. The grade, the aptitude of the pupils and the genius of the teacher are determining factors of the problem. For seniors and adults, two methods are suggested. 1. Character Study of the Kings and Prophets of the Period. Illography is always fascinating and profitable. In the use of this method, assignments should be made a week ahead. As to the kings of this period, a study should be made of their strong and weak points, and suitable lessons be drawn from them. As to the prophets, the nature of the ministry of each should be studied. This method involves the terse statement of the salient facts of each lesson with its central teaching. This method, to be effective, calls for as signments to be made a week in advance. Different minds will greatly vary. The following statements are offered as suggestions: Lesson for April 7. Either at the beginning of Isaih's ministry or later when called to a deeper experience, he had a vision of the majesty and holiness of the living God. The leading lesson is that a real sight of the living God discloses the sinfulness of man. Lesson for April 14. In leading the people back to God Hezekiah proclaimed a passover. The passover was a memorial of the nation's deliverance through the shedding of the blood of a sacrificial lamb. The lamb typified Christ. The only way for a sinning and divided people to get back to God and be united is around the crucified Lord. Lesson for April 21. Isaiah sought to comfort the people by assuring them that the Lord God as the Messiah was coming to reign over the earth, and deliver them from bondage, and shepherd them. The only possible deliverance from the world is the coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom. Lesson for April 28. Salvation of God's people was to be accomplished through the suffering of their Messiah. At Christ's first coming he suffered the penalty of our sin, his suffering resulted in a spiritual progeny. Life out of death is the law governing the universe—natural and spiritual. Lesson for May 5. While the temple was in process of renovation, the law of God was found and read to the king. This brought great disturbance to his mind as he realized the enormity of the nation's sins. God's Word has power to convict of sin and effect a revival. Lesson for May 12. God called Jeremiah before he was born, overcame his fluidity, and sent him to warn his people of coming judgment. Though violently opposed and persecuted, God delivered him. Jeremiah called the people to obedience to God's Word. The only way to assert God's judgment is to return unto Him and render obedience. Lesson for May 26. God will restore Israel to Palestine. Israel will return and passase the land. Jesus Christ will then come and enter into a new covenant, writing the law of God in their hearts. Lesson for June 2. Because Jeremiah faithfully declared God's law, he was hated and cast into a dungeon. Those who faithfully declare God's law shall suffer. Lesson for June 9. The Rechablies out of filial loyalty to their father abstained from the use of wine. Jeremiah gave them a public test as an example to Judah Obedience to earthly fathers brings blessings, but obedience to God brings greater blessings. Lesson for June 16. Judah went into captivity according to God's Word, which cannot fall Lesson for June 23. Psalm 103 is entirely devoted to praise to God. Those who have ex-perfenced the life of God in the soul will bless him with all their being God Knows All I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and to read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privates are open—Seneca. Religion Is Necessary Education without religion is worth very little, just as cleverness without character is very barren.-Aid. Les le Owen. BY REV, J. W. HAYES. 615 Wabash Avenue SUBJ. "HEROES OF CHRIST." Tex:Isaiah. 6:1-8; Matt. 1:7-11; John 18:1-9. The Word of God abounds with Christian heroes. Their dauntless courage has inspired Christians of all ages, and their lives have stood out as beacon lights to a lost world. Heroes are admired even by their enemies. Bravery begets respect especially when exercised in the defense of cardinal principles. Our lesson catalogues a few Christian heroes, whose love and passion flashed through the ages like shooting meteors. The prophet Isalah towers like a mountain peaks in his heroic spirit. God touched him, gave him a message and he was ready to run, "Here Am I, send me." John the Baptist, another great light which lighted the path between the two dispensations, saw the dawn of a new day and cried, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Christ was the greatest of the brave and the bravest of the great. Truly He is a mighty conqueror. THOUGHTS Christian heroes are completely possessed by the spirit of Christ. Let nothing obstruct your vlion of Christ. "When the King died, I saw," etc. The angels joyfully await the orders of Jehovah. "Without vision the people perish" Christ's enemies are often found among those who claim to be His friends. Jehovah has never lost a believer. TYLER-SCOTT NUPTIALS A most fashionable and pretty wed. ding was solomnized, Wednesday, June 12, at first Baptist Church, when Miss Annie Tyler daughter of Mrs. Charlotte Tyler of Washington, D. C. was united in Holy Bonds of matrimony to Mr. Lawrence J. Scott of this city. Preceding the ceremony The H. T.

Little Misses Letatia Cohen and Helen Jackson were flower girls and were dressed in white organdy with white shoes and stockings to match. They carried baskets of rose petals which were strewn on the white carpeted path of the bride who entered on the arm of Mr. Cohen, who gave her away. Her dress was of white chiffon crepe made with a bodice and a short skirt with two tunics which fell in an uneven hem line until it reached the floor, in a small train. Her veil was tied into a cape effect with orange blossoms and hung in a long train which was carried by Masters Andrew and James Hunt, who wore white linen suits. The groom and his best man, Mr. Henry Harwood were both attired in conventional black. The marriage ceremony was read by Rev. E. W. Anthony, Pastor, under an arch of white roses and white wedding bells. The ring ceremony was used. After the wedding's formal reception was held at the home of the groom's sister Mrs. B. N. Mitchell and Mr. Thomas Mitchell. The doors were opened by little Miss Magdalene Nutter; then the guests were presented to the hostess and the bridal party. A buffet luncheon was served by Mrs. L. V.

Man has slept too long to bring about a new arrangement, no doubt, without declaring war in his own home; and I would like to tell men of all nations: You will have to declare war at your own home, if you would start in time to wearing the pants. It is true, we need the woman, and can't get along without her; neither can the woman get along without the man. But it is a fact, I say and can prove that man's duty back to God is to be the man and stand at the head in all matters and in all lines of business and again I say, I believe God intended when He made woman and brot her to man, for him to look after her and take care of her. I believe if God had meant for both man and woman to go out and make the support, He would have in a dale them in the same likness—I think the women are being wrongfully dealt with in this affair. Woman is the glory of man, and too, she is the most precious jewel man could have except Jesus; for she is the weakest part of man; and when they are united in ho'y matrimony, they should become one flesh as God said, you are no more twain but one flesh. Before sin came, they were naked and not ashame. Some of our women work too hard to bare children, and that is the purpose for which God made them. Woman should be so highly honored that she would forget self and sacrifice her life to repleinish the earth as God commanded. I say, without fear of contradiction. 10.

WE are praying for that person who writes an insulting letter without placing a signature, which proves the writer a supreme coward, the kind that death would be preferable than be; because there is an undercurrent of deception afoil. THERE is nearly as much commotion over Mrs. Oscar De Priest attending the social as if Mrs. Hoover had declared war for the destruction of human progress; when she was simply testing the sincerity of American Christianity. A Christianity that doesn't love everybody is rotten at the core, be it ever so beautiful on the surface. Thank God, she found a whole social guest, who has not complained of any humiliation by the presence of Mrs. DePriest—true marks of God's love expressed in an American social, were fine steps forward to broaden the worth of the Kingdom. OPENING last Wednesday at Charleston S. C., June 19, one of the best Congress sessions in the history of the National Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Work. Messengers by the thousands on trains, autos and boats were there. This dear old historic place was a source of inspiration to all and the messengers were a source of information to all. Every person filled well his place on the program, and citizens played well their part in the entertainment. Every denomination and race were interested in our comfort and happiness. Through mutual Christian spirit every one received his or her portion of the blessing. A SECRET revenge gives more woe to the revenger, because there is something wrong that is inexpressible that makes it a secret; then when one stoops to lower things secretly, he loads his mind with more evil than can be expressed; thus he will kill himself because the soul desires expression of cofession. Open confession (expression) right or wrong, is good for the soul. If one desires for revenge, it is right then, God will repay if it is left to Him. If one is guilty and decides to hide himself in secret, low-down methods, that person will crush under his own load. Cowards hide. Honest people hunt light and rejoice when they find it because it is peace and pleasure to walk therein. They hate sin that made them mourn, even in themselves, and hide only to find the Lord. Guilty cowards want darkness, mysteries and disgrace, that they might not be seen. They are not trying to do better, but are trying to make more darkness for self-protection. It is not the guilty soul that is ruined forever, but the soul that wants no light for itself nor for anyone else. CITY ITEMS We heard that Mrs. Fay Oliver Burton, who was in the Y. W. C.

LIGHT HOUSE-KEEPING ROOMS For Man and Wife—All Modern SEE—MRS. L. B. JACKSON, CALL AT 610 OHIO AVENUE. RACES (Continued from page one) campaign that this would happen, if moover should be elected?..... I told them, Negroes would be eating in the white House next!" Other Southern senators, including Texas" Sheppard, Alabama's Hebron, Mississippi Harrison, "deplored" the event, viewed it as a "recognition of social equality," warned of "infinite danger to our white civilization." In Maryland a Negro-problem State which voted for Hoover in 1928 the leading daily (Ballimore Sun, Democratic) carried a long front page story in which Correspondent J. Fred Essary took pains to mention that Mrs. De Priest had arrived early, stayed late, enjoyed herself hugely; and that Congressman De R.est offered greatly from William H. Lewis of Boston, the Negro Taft-time Assistant Attorney-General, who invariably declined invitations to the functions of white Washington officialdom. In Texas, a Negro-subjugating State which voted for Hoover in 1928, the one woman in the State Senate, Miss Margie Neal, got up, offered a resolution, declared: "Mrs. Hoover has violated the most sacred social custom of the White House, and this should be condemned." The State Senate adopted, 26 votes to 2, her resolution which said: "We bow our heads in shame and regret and express in the strongest and most emphatic terms our condemnation and humiliation of said conduct ..... on the port of the mistress of the Wha mouse and her associate." The two voters against the resolution were Senators Thomas Love and Julien Hyer, "Hoovercrats" who helped to turn the State Republican last year. When Senator T. J. Holbrook used the phrase "political nigger lovers" in denouncing Mrs. De Priest's visit to the White House, Senator Love rushed at him savagely, shouting; "Any man who says the 300,000 Texans who voted for Hoover are nigger-lovers has the void L'AR branded across his brow." In Florida, another Negro-subjugating state that voted for H. over, a resolution was passed 71 to 13, in the state house, condemning "certain social policies of the administration..." in presenting it, Representative Way, Democrat, said: "The State of Florida has been betrayed." —Time Magazine GREAT DISTRICT ANNUAL MEETING Continued (from last week) The Sunday School Convention began its work June 6, with President M. J. Smith in chair. A great devotional theme was discussed by messengers of Humboldt. This Convention is divided into departmental meetings, where the problems of Sunday School work were discussed by workers of their own departments. Each department had specially prepared papers, songs and addresses which specially prepared that department. We especially mention the address made by Mr. Chas S. Jemison and one by Mrs. Bettle Cooper, and shall give the readers the benefit of Mr. Jemison's address in this paper in the near future. Every sermon was soul touching and full of thought by Rev. J. A. Rucker, Paola; Rev. A. C. Kyles, Olathe; Dr. E. L. Scruggs, Topeka; Rev. Jas. H. Scott, Moderator, and Rev. J. Smith, Salina. The Cradle Roll Department gave a program which showed the patience and ability of Mrs. A. W. Johnston of Fort Scott. It was wonderful to hear those little tots sing and recite. The candle-light service in celebration of the 25th annual meeting, was very impressive. The entertainment was first class, proving that big-hearted people live at this place, with this great pastor leading. The Shiloh Choir is really hard to beat, with Mrs. Thomason, directress and president Before the meeting opened, we found the women of Shiloh putting over a great drill that showed cooperation, training and skill. This made history of another great occasion in the Master's cause. Calvary Baptist Church Friday June 28th the Vacational Bible School at Calvary Baptist Church will close with a Dramatized Play by the children. Come out and encourage the children and teachers.

Mellyveen preached for us, with Rev. Green present as usual. Text from the subject of "Uplifted Christ;" "I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." John 12:32. He pictured it as a magnet placed before a rusty nail and bright nail. If the nail is rusty the magnet will not draw, but if bright it will draw it. So it is with man, if he is rusty, he is not in touch with God; but if bright, he can feel God's power drawing. Rev. Mellyveen's sermon was inspiring. At the evening service, our own Bio.
