She 'whs a comm/uity leader, those less fortunate would seek her adviie on many of their problems. Sho was greater than her .denomination, having worked and won mai y "blue ribbons" in church rallies. ? She .was influential in her church and always took a stand on the church s*de. She didn't know how to say "no" when a person asked her for help. She wa? a dai iy- Bible -reader and the'22 chapter of Proverbs was her favorite. The day before she died she held out her hands and said" Come on Jesus," paying no attention to her beloved* children, but constantly looking up and begging him to come.

VHDTU 1.1 i 1I1J iivniii I arrived in Philadelphia on the 27th f Jtlarch. I first..want directly to the late Rev. John Myers* home to see Sister Myers? (his. widow and children.) I found them well, thank God. I then went! to South Philadelphia to Williams Temple C.. M. E.~ Church and resumed the task of . preaching fori ten nights.^I had three objectives, in view: 1. To encourage Christians. 2. To warn and save sin-1 ' ners. 3. To give God glory. I suc-| ceeded however only to some.de-| gree, bait not as much as I drd in j 1937. I preached ten nights ?andj got only three converts, but I was very much encouraged with my previous record. I had add**'1 fif.l ?teen souls and I called a roll of, ( those and all of them answered i to-thp- rott cal^ 'iXcept one and ; were faithful workers in the! ? ehureh, -thamk God. T visited two] other churches: Thankful Baptist | church and Tent Memorial. I. preached two sermons at Thankful Baptist church and took in 3 new members. I preached one ser| mon at Tent Memorial Baptist churchy where Rev. Allen T. Dixon i is pastoring and I took n0 con- < verts. Rev. Dixon is doing fine. I vrsited the Baptist Ministers Al- i liance twice. They do have a good 1 time. There are so many minis*- ] ters that meet every Monday at 1 1 D.m. that, it's nnnnl i State Convention. I did feel a littie out of the ordinary in riding 1 the train and trolley where there < is no racial discrimination made whatever. Get your seat wherever there is one in front or rear. It 1 was somewhat amusing to me to i see the\children scampering off i r to school with both races going to the same school building.
