They seem to have a hard time in Washington finding those pardon papers of Marcus Garvey.

Morris, Sr. Pastor “The Devil’s Five Lies About the Resurrection.’' A large crowd of both races was present at- the City Auditorium last Sunday afternoon, to hoar the pastor preach on, “Did Christ Rise From the Dead?” The Pevil’s five lies: That Christ’s friends sole His body, That His enemies stole it, That He did not die, That He did not live, That His body did not rise only His spirit rase, and other claims held by modernists of today were completely refuted by the overwhelming proofs of the emiyv tomb and the testimonies of His disciples who saw Him, talked with Him, saw Him eat, and met with Him again and again, until e\ ery doubt of ithe whole doubting crowd disappered with the adoring crv of Thomas, “My Lord and my God.” , Dr. Morris preached a special Easter sermon Sunday morning. At S o’clock Rev. Dr. H. N.. Jeter, of Newport, R. I., a well known evan gelist who devotes his time to the improvement of the life and service of the colored people throughout the United States, delivered the message i Next Sunday Dr. Morris will preach on “The Seven Wonderful Things That, the Resurrection of | Christ Guarantees.” “The Duty of : Parents Ito Their Children and the Duty of Children to Their Parents” wil be his subjew. for the 8 P.

A * unique program was rendered, con sisting of an address by Dr. Morris, several musical selections and oth9r The Lord’s Supper and fellowship of new members at 3:30 P. M. addresses. The class was then ush ered to 'he assembly room of our church where an elaborate supper had been prepared for them and a • group of our young ladies under Miss Esther ScoV. waiting to serve them. The great lesson Dr. Morris is so earnestly si riving to emplant in the hearts of our young folks is *hat the greatest education and in spiration that can prepare them for life’s pilgrimage comes - from God through His Church and out of His Holy Word.
