ST. JAMES A.M.E. CHURCH

"But they that depend upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31, was the text of Rev. W. Frederic Fisher's message, continuing his evangelistic service for the 5th week. Spiritually inspiring music was rendered by the Gospel Party. Rev. B. U. Taylor, former pastor of Quinn Chapel, Chicago, also presiding Elder of the Chicago District at one time but now superannuated, worshipped at the morning service, gave a short message complimenting St. James for splendid work. Other visitors worshipping at the morning service were: Mrs. Wm. Perkins and Mrs. Rachel G. Woods, of Omaha, mother and sister of Mr. Prince Henderson; Mrs. Ethel E.
