This week we pay a special tribute to a most deserving mother, Christian missionary worker, and most respected person, Mrs. Marie Gray. She served for 15 years as the director of the B.T.U. of First Baptist Church, N.I. In this position with her 10 children attending, she worked hard to build the B.T.U. Her daughter, Marie, won the oratorical contest and brought honor to First Baptist Church. Mrs. Gray is a member of the choir and served in the missionary society and at one time as an assistant teacher of the T.E.L. Bible Class of the Sunday School. A member of the district, state, and national B.T.U. congresses, she would not send her children to church but would come with them. She was recently elected assistant superintendent of the junior high department of the Sunday School. Mrs. Gray is a staff member of the Metropolitan Manpower Commission. We, the members of First Baptist, thank you Mrs. Gray for dedicated service. Your work was not in vain. God will reward you well.

These words on music were left to us In a hook entitled) “It's in the Book" by the late Eldar Prank P. Young, a man who continues to live on In the lives of those who loved and knew him beat. He was a wise man and an understanding man who did so much to help so many people. This poem on music by him Is In the book on his life work. MUSIC I love music which if done properly is cultural and enjoyable and I tell everybody that, One not to be met with weak consternation, but with Invisible determination. Scorning depression and spurning elation till we’ve explored every ramification of this most wonderful thing of crea-

tion, “Music." ***
