Despite the inclemency of the weather, an appreciative crowd was present at Emanuel's Mission A.M.E. Sunday school. The lessons this quarter dealing with the life of Paul are very interesting. Mr. A. T. Hill teacher of the Men's class vividly reviewed the lesson bringing out many deep points. Thanksgiving day our ladies, consisting of Mrs. Bettie McCoy, Mrs. Esther Jones, and Mrs. Margaret Morse remembered the poor saints with many pounds of food that had been brought to the Mission by members and friends.

Morris To Speak Sunday Night
A brilliant program is being arranged for the mammoth mass meeting to be staged this Sunday, November 27th at 8:15 o'clock in the Truxton grammar school auditorium junction of Deep Creek Boulevard and Key Road. The stellar attraction of the occasion will be the address of the eminent and popular orator Charles Satchell Morris, Jr. of Norfolk on "The Blocks with Which we Build." Young Morris has been nationally noted for the vast audiences he has drawn in every section of America. On his last appearance here hundreds of were compelled to stand unable to secure seats in the spacious auditorium. An even grater crowd is expected Sunday night so the public is urged to be present on time.
