Food for the soul
Is a word, indeed—
If it be fitly spoken;
For who can know
How great the worth—-
A word to a heart that s broken,
But, oh, how swift
Is the word unkind
To wound the heart of a brother.
Better the word be left unsaid
Than speak wrong of another!

NEW YORK (ANP) — After
unsuccessfully bringing a suit
in 1947 for more than $9,000
againjsi the New York annual
conference of the African Me¬
thodist Episcopal church for
alleged back salary due him as
a minister of an AME church,
Charles H- Taylor of Corona, L.
r, again filed paoers in the
same case in Queens county
this month.
On Dec.' 3 of last year, the
same case was brought before
Judge F’rank E Johnson, jus¬
tice of the N. Y. Supreme
court, who said in his decision
that the reason the complaint
was dismissed was “not one of
discretion, but purely a legal
ground and reason- The cor-
■nr a i j->n is a religious corpora¬
tion organized under the laws
of this state, and for the pro¬
tection of its funds there are
laws in New York limiting the
power of officers.”

Oh! mother dear, we love you
so,
But Gad called you home one
year ago,
It was on a Saturday morning
just before day,
When God called you home to
stay.
More and more each day we
miss you,
And one long year has passed
away-
Friends may think the wound
Is healed,
But they little know the sorrow,
lies within our hearts
concealed.
Scme may say time heals an
aching heart,
it isn’t true,
p or P ne long year has passed
awa y, dear,
And our hearts s'.ill ache for
you.
