Media, Pa., Feb. 6.—Despite the inclement weather conditions the ser vices at Trinity church were well at tended. The pastor conducted the service morning and evening. Several more have identified themselves with the church since last Sunday. Among these were Mr. Charles Lebu, one of the progressive young men of Media, and one of the sons of the late Mrs. Beulah Lebue. It is a beautiful sight to see the large number of young peo ple that are laboring for the upbuild ing of the Master's kingdom, as are engaged in this work at Trinity church. The Rev. Dr. J. l. Lewis, pastor of the Baptist church, and his most excellent choir will have charge of the afternoon service. The com munion service will be held at night. Henry Love, Lewis Kelson and_Tol bert Myers from Camp Meade, “were home on furlough last Sunday. Pri vate Myers attended service at Trin ity church on Sunday morning, and delivered a very able address. Miss Elia Ambrose, one of the well known young ladies of Media, and the daughter of Mrs. Eva ,Ambrose, of South avenue, Media, died one last Wednesday night and was buried from Trinity church on Monday. The Philadelphia School of Phar macy Trio rendered a musical enter tainment at the Second Baptist church last Friday night. Mr. Alfred Powell, our brilliant young student in Phar macy, was the manager. Rev. H. T. Ryder visited the Media Public School recently, and had quite a lengthy conversation with Principal Jeslin, relative to the progress being made by the students of color in the school. Principal Jeslin is very de sirous of receiving the support of the colored parents and invites them to visit the school at any time to see how their children are progressing. Pastor Ryder states that he stated that about the only times that he is visited by colored parents is when someone wants to lay him out. He spoke very highly of Miss Susy Green, of the Senior Class of the High School, and of Mr. Ernest Carter of the Jun ior Class. We would like to urge our colored boys and girls to stick to the school as there is plenty of room for qualified men and women. Mr. John Winters, who is a Ser geant at Camp Meade, is now a stu dent in the Gas School at the camp. He reports that there are 56 men in the school which he attends, of whom 20 are colored—8 sergeants, 6 lieu tenants and 6 captains. We hope that Sergeant Winters will make good his effort to advance him self. It is because of the great amount of study that devolves upon Sergeant Winters just at this time that we do not have a letter from the camp this week. We hope to have a regular next week. Campbell A. M. E. church, Rev. Wm. H. Edwards, pastor. In spite of wars, rumors of wars, heatless, meat less and sweetless days, and the up heaval of the country, the work of Campbell goes steadily on. We are sad to see the old members of the church passing away one by one, but we are glad to note new ones stepping up and taking their places. Sunday week was our third quarterly meeting. Rev. Green, of Morton, preached in the morning to a fair sized audience. Text, “And I saw an old man,” etc. He showed the old man as the Chris tian in the morning of his life, at noontime and at evening, having faith fully performed, coming down as a ripe shock of corn. In the afternoon Rev. R. O. Napper and his good peo ple were present. Rev. Napper's text, “What ever thy hand findeth to do,” was well delivered and enjoyed by the large number present. Rev. Lewis and his people of the Second Baptist church, Rev. Ryder, of Union, and Mrs. Fendlesei representing the Zion A. M. E. church, Rev. W. H. Ed wards preached an interesting sermon at night, in spite of the severe cold, the congregation was good all day. Mrs. Cornelius Ridley and Mr. Roper are convalescent. Mrs. Ella Watson at this writing is very low. Last Sunday, Rev. Edwards and choir with a large number of his members journeyed to Morton and at tended the quarterly meeting of Shorters A. M. E. church, Rev. R. O. Napper, pastor. Rev. Edwards preached, text “Death swallowed up in victory.” Shorters is still holding its own. The report of the quarter was grand.
