BACCALAUREATE SERMON TO FOUR GRADUATING
S.S. CONTEST TO
CLOSE TOMORROW
Drive at Olivet Presbyterian
Brings Goods
Results
Every effort is being made to make
the children's day eerxclses to-mor
row at the Tabernacle Baptist Sun
day School, the Rev. Millard Osmore
Peirce, pastor, as unique and an ap
propriate as possible. The regular
morning church service will give way
to the special program prepared by
the Sunday school. Special anthems
by the church choir will be a feature
of the service.
AVith tomorrow's service comes
the cloe of th scholar contest,
which was instituted some weeks
ago. The Sunday school was divided
equally into two sides, one side being
known as the Pics and the other as
the Nics. The contest derives its
naipe from a picnic being given in
honor of the winning side at the con
clusion of the contest. Great spirit
has been manifested throughout the
contest and the school's attendance
has been greatly increaesd.
One of the unique methods which
the Taoernacle Baptist Sunday
School has put into action is the use
of a large auto truck, which goes
from home to .home, gathering up
the children, carrying them to and
from the service. To-morrow it is
planned to put an extra automobile
on; the close of the content makes it
necessary.

A SOUTHERN CALL
Pastor of Wesley Union to

THE REV. W. A. RAT
After serving successfully for five
years as pastor of the Wesley Union,
of Harrisburg. Dr. W. A. Ray will
leave Harrisburg within the next
several days for Memphis, Tenn.,
where he will become pastor of the
largest A. M. E. Zion Church of that
city. He will be succeeded here by
Dr. McNeil, of New York City.
Coming to Harrisburg live years
ago, when Wesley, the mother of
the colored churches of Harrisburg,
was sorely distressed because of fi
nancial conditions due to building
operations, he has aided materially
in making Wesley one of the most
potent of the colored churches of
Harrisburg. The handsome new
church building at Forster and Ash
streets stands as a mark of his abil
ity as a. church builder and financier.
His term as pastor of the church
is longer than that of any other man
and during this time he raised more
money and did more real construc
tive work than any other minister
that ever served the charge. He
always took an active interest in the
church affairs of Harrisburg in ad
dition to those of his own congre
gation.
At one time he was honored with
the election of president of the In
terdenominational Ministers' Con
ference of Harrisburg, and at the
present time he is permanent
chairman of its civic steering com
mittee as well as its evangelistic
committee. Because of his marked
evangelistic qualities, he was se
lected to lead both of the union
revivals of the Interdenominational
Ministers' Conference.
Storer's "Oh, For a Closer Walk
With God" will be the quartet num
ber at Westminster Presbyterian
Church to-morrow evening, with
