NOTES OF THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, Twenty-fourth Avenue,and Ogden St. David E. Over, D. D., Minister, Residence, 2356 Humboldt St. On the 21st of this month the pas tor will have completed six years of labor with Zion church. It is thought well to emphasize the occasion by ap propriate services, which will con sume the entire day. Dr. Charles P. Jones, the great evangelist of Jackson, Miss., will preach the anniversary ser mon at the 11 o'clock hour. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock a program of addresses will be rendered which will be participated in by Dr. F. B. Palmer, Superintendent of Missions, and our brother pastors of the city. In the evening Dr. Jones will be heard again. There will be appropri ate music, and other features which will make the program complete. On Monday evening, the 22nd, a re ception in the pastor’s honor will be held by the auxiliaries of the church. A program is being prepared for this occasion which will be published next week. Following these activities, Dr. Jones will conduct a series of‘revival serv ices for soul-winning. Our brother is considered one of the greatest evan gelists in the country and a preacher of wonderful eloquence and power. Denver citizens will have a rich bless ing brought to them in the coming of this great man. The whole city is in vited to share in these activities. The following names are numbered among our sick: Brother Robert Johnson, Brother F. C. Payne, Sister Crump, Sister Sallie Buford, Sister Danella Price, Sister Amanda Morri son, Sister Kizzie Jameson, and Sister Ella Ross. Others reported are better. SHORTER CHAPEL. Washington and Twenty-third Sts. Rev. Robert L. Pope, Pastor. Our pastor’s sermon topics for to morrow will be as follows: 11:00 a. m., “The Divine Call.” 7:30 p. m., “Living On the Top Floor.” Shorter has just launched a RED and BLUE rally for Easter. One-half of our membership forms the REDS, with Mrs. Lizzie Williams as captain; the other half composes the BLUES, with Mrs. Mattie P. King as captain. Every member should at once find out WHAT HE IS and begin immediately to assist in making his side the victor and thus share the honors to be awarded at the close of the rally. Look out for the red and blue rally pins; secure one for yourself and Wear it. The Knight-Campbell Music Com pany has just installed a high pres sure electric motor, with which our pipe organ will be operated hereafter. This innovation is not only an econom ical proposition, but the musical effect of the organ will be greatly improved as well. Our trustees are to be com mended for this advanced step. The Negro Year Book for 1915 is out with Mr. J. H. Doniphon as sole agent for Denver. It is a pamphlet of 443 pages and is brimful of facts about the race which for our people to know is for them to be inspired and helped. Another has said: “We hate the man we do not know: to know one thoroughly is to admire him.” Can it be that a number of our people are disloyal to the race and are trying to get away from it, be cause they know so little about it? I would recommend the Negro Year Book for 1915 as an antidote for race disloyalty among us. Secure a copy, read it thoroughly before your chil dren and note the result. A cheering word comes from Pens acola, Fla., of the improved condition of the health of both Mrs. Pope and her mother. Before returning to Den ver, Mrs. Pope will visit Athens, Ga., the home of our pastor. The Sewing Circle, Stewardess Board and A. C. E. League held inter esting meetings this week at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Colston, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Campbell and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. G. Ross, respect ively. Members of our congregation desir ing a systematic and exhiliarating study of the Bible will find this an opportune time to join our Teacher Training Class. “The New Testament Church, the new study, has arrived and will be taken up within a fort night. The class meets Tuesday even ings at 7 o’clock. Our pastor is greatly obligated to Mrs. E. A. Holley, Messrs. Chas. A. and Percy Anderson for remembering the parsonage so generously this week. The Mite Missionary Society, under the leadership of Sisters L. M. Fro man, M. P. King and Mary Wade, will give a birthday party with MIRANDY Thursday evening, March 18th, in the lecture room of the church. It is go ing to be different from that other one you saw and it will make you laugh more. The admission is 10 cents. Let everybody lend a hand,
