Many of you do not 0 know that We live in Columbia. <5 Woll, we do. And now let us re6 late to you a little story about ^ Columbia: . On that eofd SatuFdayTbefore ^ the holidays we were shopping. 8 We walked out of McCrorey's ir Dime Store and were just, about to "\ e go into- Silver's when a pitiable ' sight met our gaze. In the Main n Street entrance to the store an old 1 woman was seen groveling in the k dust as if her last _ breath was leaving her body. Around her was e a group of colored and white peo" pie, all looking curiously on, but none anxious or wining tn l id the ? old woman. We walked up and s asked what w?s wrong and we found that she had fallen from a ,v heat stroke, which she had got '? when she walked into the crowded ^ Dime Store. We, ?vith the ass is tar.ce of l.-nother young man car? r iedj her arounth the1 corner to the ~ " cab stand and? put her in a taxi., We asked the ^flriv<jr to wait for ? a few lninutes su wPt'ould hnd her daughter, who, she said, was in '' the store. In the meantime, we tried to get hor a drink of water V from a Drug Store, but the white ? ". elerks in the pice had no time to .'wait upon colored citizens. We rushed down to anotlier dru,g store and bought some aromatic spirits k of ammonia and came back to the taxi. We found the driver in a rage, because, he said, we were l" j keeping him from making money. He charged us fifty cents, but dar " i l'ied the old lady to her destination jaft:r we could not find her daugh Iter. n i We are not looking for personal y glory in this narrative, but we are ^ trying to show how greed, selfish' ness, and avarice are eating up I oitr dear old city. Can't we do I something i.'.bout it?

The message was delivered by our pastor, the subject of whch was ? "Bluud-=A Divine Token" taken from Exodus 12:23. This sermon . was receivod with great joy and . spiritual enthusiasm. Mr. Wil, liam E. Thompson of Cha rleston, ) S. C., accepted the invitation for j- church connection and was assign, ect to the class of Mrs. Ttxns EdL dings. I | "The Common People" constit tuted the subject of the e\ening > message delivered by our pastor :?ami 11 large host of people receiv ed this message thoughtfully. St . Mark 12:27 furnished the passage of scripture from which the sub- ' . ject was taken. l>arge numbers i composed at both the morning and > ' everting ser\'i<JJs. The gospel choir which was organized about two months ago furnished musig " J oh~1Sun<lay past and promises to i be a wonderful contribution to Di t vine worship. All of the boards land clubs have been reorganized for the year and are hard at work in carrying out thj schedule for the month of Jan. Three new boards and clubs have been added to the church this year - and .have set their get' 13 to be accomplished. Large numbers of visitors worshiped atjboth sprvicef ^ f ahd were made to feel 'welcome. ' *
