All you have to do to win is: Turn

their influence to help you win one
of these valuable prizes.
In doing so you will be helping a

all of the church news and all other j
news that’s of interest to the race. |
In do'ng so you will he helping in

ment for your boys and girls.
The responsibility of helping to
hu'ld iy) worthy enterprises rests !
upon the citizenship of every city
and State in the Union. The only
hopes of accomplishing this is by
<o-operation, broad-minded, leader
ship. We must lay flown petty jeal
ousies. personal feelings, and real
ize that a worthy cause is greater
and more beneficial to the commun
ity than individual feelings. Jeal
ousy has been the cause of many
worthy men going down to defeat
and destroying worthy enterprises. *
Let us stop fighting one another
because every nationality of the
world is fighting us and yet we are
still flght'ng one another. How can
we hope to reach the height of our
amibition until we lay down these !
little petty jealousies and work i
together w’th one great aim for the
future development of our Negro
enterprises.
To my mind this is the only so
lution that will solve our many >
problems that confront our group
for we must have more confidence
in one another and have more
more brotherly love and respect
One of God’s great commandments
is. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
T wonder how many of us keep that
commandment.

THE PASTORATE OF OST
ST BAPTIST CHURCH
Richmond, Va., Jujy IS, 1927.
To the 31»t Street Baptist Church.
Dear Bretnren ana Sisters,—I
came to you as pastort e ght years
and nearly seven monta^ r.go, from
the St. James Baptist Church, 01*
Goochland County, Va. and the Mt.
Nebo, of New Kent County, Va.
I found you very few in number
(being a small part of a church of
six hundred that had been split
into three parts by dissenson) and
in debt to the amount of three
thousand ninety (five dollars and five
cents. Tha edifice was badly in need
of repairs.
During my pastorate the Lord ha3
wrought wonderfully with you, in
that the membership has grown
to three hundred and eighty odd;
the debt has been paid; remodeling
and repairing have been done to the
amount of more than eight thousand
dollars, and you have paid that
down to three thousand and two
hundred dollars. If you will use
a little mort energy this debt can
be paid in a short while. ,
The various departments of the
Church, namely: The regular Sun
day Services, the Prayer Meetings.
the Sunday School, fts Teachers’
Meeting and Teacher Training
Course, the B. Y. P. U., and the
Woman’s Missionary and Education
al Circle ere all in a I've and good
condition.
The Church has donated thous
ands. of dollars for missions, educa- |
tion and for the help of the needy
withiin our walls since my oastorata.
And now, if you will walk in the
ways of the Lord. He will continue
to prosper your pathway. I believe
it Hu the will of our ’ Father in
Heaven that my pastorate with you
close. I therefore tender to you my
resignation, hoping that our pray
ers for each other will be mutual.
Iam your brother in Christ Jesus,
S. P. ROBINSON.

Richmond. Va.. July 21, 1927.
To Whom It May Concern:
This Is to cert'fy that Rev Simon
P. Robinson has been the. pastor of
Thirtyjfirait Street Bap list Church
for more than eight years. He came
to us as a Gospel preacher and a
Christian gentleman. He has proved
h;ni8elf to be an upright and ener
getic Christian. He has. been faith
ful in every department of the
Church. Therefore the 31st Street
Baptist Church recommends him to
lv a man called of God to preach the
Gospel one who believes in nunctual
it.y. In his departure, we hope that
the choice blessings of Gbd may rest
upon liim and we further hope that
prosperity may attend his pathway.
Done by the order of the 31st
Street Baptist Church. *

Mrs. Artenia J. Miller, a friend
t„ the poor, is gone to the Great
Beyond where she is resting from
her labor and her good works shall
follow her, to live on through the
ceaseless age of eternity.
During her V'fetime she saw that
the poor were looked after and cared
for. Every year she would give the
inmates of the Afro-American Old
Folks Home, 1115 W. Moore St.,
Richmond, Va. a picnic. S<nce her
death, I am sorry to say, the Old
Folks have had no one to take them
out for recreation. '
The old fathers and mothers would
be glad if gome one or some organ

them out. As the summer is gliding
by, we hope that they will have the
opportunity to go somewhere before
the summer is gone,
