THOUSAND ATTENJJS?LAST?
?^?KITES OF MRS. ANNIE REESE

more people attended the last rites

teacher of of the Sunday School
Bible Class and President of the
Waverly Circle Missionary Society.
She was a leader in chutrch
finance, having worked and put
on .many financial prdgranvk i'n
f other churches.
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.

SPEARS UF HIS VISIT
IV TUI? 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. Both
races playing gamoa together tn~
the ^treets. 1
- Brbther William Summers and i
his family are doing well. t
The Thfgikful Baptist church is c
without a pastor, but Rev. Skip- <
worth a preacher and singer Is 1
... the prospect and aspirant for the
pastor. He is from Georgia and is
now engaged in a 10 nights meet- J
| ing and at the same time in trial I
for pastor,. '
