00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.039
Good morning Radio Friends. This is Austin Coleman for the Wrightsville

00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:33.497
mortuary. Where funeral services began
at $195 complete and no one has

00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:37.027
ever turned away for lack of funds.
And the Valley Life and casualty

00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:41.376
insurance company where progress is
the key word bringing you another in a

00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:47.656
series of sunday morning programs,
design for your listening pleasure in

00:00:47.689 --> 00:00:52.747
phoenix. There are problems in the
areas of housing, employment and

00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:57.296
education. Just to mention a few, you
can help solve these problems by

00:00:57.329 --> 00:01:00.256
your cooperation with the National
Association for the Advancement of

00:01:00.289 --> 00:01:04.596
Colored People and the Congress of
Racial Equality. These two groups are

00:01:04.629 --> 00:01:08.447
working for the same cause. Regardless
of what you hear or read in the

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.217
different places, it is impossible to
split negroes on the human rights

00:01:13.250 --> 00:01:17.647
issue that we are all concerned about.
Again, we encourage you to take an

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.156
active part in the N. A. A. C. P. And
the Congress of racial equality. The

00:01:22.189 --> 00:01:25.947
job that you do in these organizations
may help you obtain the goals in

00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:33.980
life that you desire.

00:01:42.939 --> 00:01:46.456
We would like to begin our program
this morning with the selection by the

00:01:46.489 --> 00:01:51.137

sing. A very beautiful number entitled

00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:59.170
The old ship of Zion.

uh

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:43.897
piece of mine. Is this what most of us
look for in life? I think so then

00:05:43.930 --> 00:05:46.947
too, when the time comes for you to
make final arrangements for a loved

00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:51.606
one, you look for peace of mind. That
peace of mind can be found when you

00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.937
let the rags dough mortuary handle
your final arrangements, You can be

00:05:55.970 --> 00:05:59.447
assured that the services you get will
be of the best quality at the

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:04.496
lowest cost. Remember to no one has
ever turned away for lack of funds at

00:06:04.529 --> 00:06:08.007
the rags dover mortuary.

beautiful new chapel, expanded pork

Ragsdale mortuary where funeral

services began at $195 complete and no
one has ever turned away for lack

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:29.427
of funds believes in quality at the
very highest. So keep in mind this

00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:35.106
fine funeral center being erected in
east phoenix during this year,

00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:42.736
Another public service offered by the
Ragsdale mortuary. Yeah, we would

00:10:42.769 --> 00:10:48.106
like to continue with songs by the
famous caravan as they will sing for us

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:56.139
at this time. Must jesus bear the
cross alone.

00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.276
We'd

00:10:59.309 --> 00:11:07.037
like you to think along with us today
about a man who was rich, but yet

00:11:07.070 --> 00:11:13.636
for our sakes, he became poor, we like
you to think of him making his way

00:11:13.669 --> 00:11:20.327
down the dusty streets of Jerusalem
with a cross on his shoulders. And as

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:28.360
we think together here today, we like
to ask, you must jesus, must jesus

00:11:28.450 --> 00:11:32.506
bad. You

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:39.667
will we leave him to bear this old
rugged cross along while

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:47.700
you, you and you and even me in all of
this central world that we live in

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:54.207
while we stand around free

00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:59.646
knowing that he cared the cost for us,
knowing

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.687
that

00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:06.846
redemption on the cross. But you know,
as he made his way down the streets

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.006
of Jerusalem, a man named Simon
stepped out from the crowd and I'm

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:19.039
inclined to believe he said these
words in his heart,

00:12:22.429 --> 00:12:25.667
can

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:33.700
you say that today? Way?

00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:44.346
And every once in a while I like to
tell the Lord, I believe there's

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:47.116
somewhere

00:12:47.149 --> 00:12:50.736
where there's a cross,

00:12:50.769 --> 00:12:56.626
there's across there, across from me,

00:12:56.659 --> 00:13:01.167
you know, we'll feel that our work has
not been in vain. If one person

00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.197
under the sound of our voices right
now, we'll say along with us to the

00:13:05.230 --> 00:13:13.230
law,

00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:28.440
whatever he ever he will

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:34.636
you take up your cross and tell the
love this

00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:39.226
Oh,

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:42.106
oh,

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:45.197
oh

00:13:45.230 --> 00:13:53.230
me!

00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:04.276
When the time comes for final
arrangements? Remember the Ragsdale mortuary

00:14:04.309 --> 00:14:09.366
where funeral services began at $195
complete and no one has ever turned

00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.776
away for lack of funds. We are just
large enough to serve you sacred lee

00:14:13.809 --> 00:14:18.837

know you and to help you. The

00:14:18.870 --> 00:14:23.246
Ragdoll Mortuary has available for all

foxhole to take his rest. Lord,

I'm seeking your shield and

00:17:11.890 --> 00:17:19.427
I've tried to do my best, a helpless
and love and be

00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:23.717
satisfied on its mother's breast. I

00:17:23.750 --> 00:17:31.750
know I'd be satisfied with jesus. I've
really stood the test.

00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:34.806
Yeah.

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.286
The Lord

00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:43.526
has many who've gone before me to
receive their rewards of just happiness

00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.937

tried to do my best to you, jesus.

from a simple straight life policy to
a daily income policy that replaces

00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:44.006
some of the lost income due to
sickness or accident.

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:48.197
As I said before. You might not need

00:24:16.710 --> 00:24:21.657
father while he's in the hospital,
He's gained some weight. He's up to 115

00:24:21.690 --> 00:24:26.756
lb now, He's gained five lbs in the
last week. And I talked him on the

00:24:26.789 --> 00:24:30.516
phone this morning, he told me to tell
all the people in the phoenix who

00:24:30.549 --> 00:24:35.086
have been praying for him and hold a
good thought for him, told me to tell

00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:40.117
you that God has been merciful to him.
He hasn't suffered many pain and

00:24:40.150 --> 00:24:43.306
he's doing much better.

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:48.806
You become, What do you think about

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:54.417
you, become what you think about for a
year. Now we have been talking

00:24:54.450 --> 00:25:00.967
about race and about the negro here in
phoenix and we have tried to give

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:07.627
you a correct image of a negro in the
correct image of yourself because so

00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:12.226
many times people think bad of
themselves and they think bad of their

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:17.617
family. And sometimes they say that I
don't have an opportunity and they

00:25:17.650 --> 00:25:22.357
say that I can't get ahead in life.
And they say that I'm poor and I'll

00:25:22.390 --> 00:25:27.117
never get out of this predicament. Let
us look at the bible. Let's turn to

00:25:27.150 --> 00:25:35.150
Mark 9 23 and we read, if I can
believe it, all things are possible

00:25:36.049 --> 00:25:43.667
and the bible tells us all through
that we must have faith fast to succeed.

00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:47.107
 And life is just like a mirror.

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:52.266
It reflects back to you what you give
to end. If you're happy, if you're

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:57.107
positive and you think good thoughts,
you will give back your good

00:25:57.140 --> 00:26:02.207
thoughts. If you're negative and
hateful and mean and talk about people

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:06.157
and tell stories on people and
allowing people life would do the same

00:26:06.190 --> 00:26:12.877
thing to you. If you want to be a
prosperous, cheerful, successful, let's

00:26:12.910 --> 00:26:17.877
think positive today. Let's tell the
world that we're good people, that

00:26:17.910 --> 00:26:23.407
the negro people are striving to have
something and going to go forward.

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:30.246
And let's always keep in mind you
become what you think about. If you

00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:35.887
think good phones about your church,
about your pastor, you will become a

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:40.326
good person. But if you think negative
thoughts, then you will become

00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:46.076
negative. Let's leave one grateful
with us. You become what you think

00:26:46.109 --> 00:26:54.109
about

00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:03.086
this sunday morning. We have a friend
that's home from the hospital who's

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:09.016

all of his friends to say a prayer

00:27:28.569 --> 00:27:34.976

00:27:35.009 --> 00:27:40.367
to pray today for his family and ask
God to give him the strength that he

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:46.897
shall overcome because we know that if
we call on God, he'll make all

00:27:46.930 --> 00:27:54.796
things possible and he'll be merciful
unto us.
