Dr. and Mrs. Martin laugh about a Jumbo cabbage Oliver raised in his garden at home and presented to them. It grew and it grew, like Mr. Finney’s turnip, until it weighed nine and one-half pounds when cut. The Martins ate it hot, cold, in slaw and stewed until they thought it would last as long as the Thanksgiving turkey. Oliver Milter was born in the land of cotton, in Gallatin, Tenn., and his gentle manners, which seem to come from the heart, proclaim the fact. He is about 50 and the father of two sons and five grandchildren. His wife is a singer sd one of their
sons has sung in concert a number of times at Roberts Park.
Mark Interracial Day
Tomorrow will be marked as interracial Sunday throughout American Protestantism, and fellowship and goodwill between people of different races will be stressed. A great deal will be said about the lack of interracial and international fellowship which helped precipitate this bitter war.
But every Sunday is interracial Sunday at Roberts Park. The affection and the esteem the membership expresses for Oliver Miller is a token of it. But perhaps the most striking illustration of it is a little scerfe on holy communion Sundays. Then the custodiah, at the cordial invitation of the minister and the congregation, kneels with the ushers at the altar rail to receive the sakcrament.
Racial Issues . To Be Topic
