Good morning Radio Friends. This is Austin Coleman for the Wrightsville
mortuary. Where funeral services began at $195 complete and no one has
ever turned away for lack of funds. And the Valley Life and casualty
insurance company where progress is the key word bringing you another in a
series of sunday morning programs, design for your listening pleasure in
phoenix. There are problems in the areas of housing, employment and
education. Just to mention a few, you can help solve these problems by
your cooperation with the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People and the Congress of Racial Equality. These two groups are
working for the same cause. Regardless of what you hear or read in the
different places, it is impossible to split negroes on the human rights
issue that we are all concerned about. Again, we encourage you to take an
active part in the N. A. A. C. P. And the Congress of racial equality. The
job that you do in these organizations may help you obtain the goals in
life that you desire.
We would like to begin our program this morning with the selection by the
salad mortal singers as they will sing. A very beautiful number entitled
The old ship of Zion.
Oh,
oh
uh
piece of mine. Is this what most of us look for in life? I think so then
too, when the time comes for you to make final arrangements for a loved
one, you look for peace of mind. That peace of mind can be found when you
let the rags dough mortuary handle your final arrangements, You can be
assured that the services you get will be of the best quality at the
lowest cost. Remember to no one has ever turned away for lack of funds at
the rags dover mortuary.
Never. We would like to continue with a song by the fake temple church
choir of new york city as they will sing for us at this time. Just a
closer walk with thee.
Uh huh.
Yeah. Yeah. A closer walk with.
Yes. Let it be
the Lord then it'll be Oh
oh I so
we but thou art strong.
I
know that jesus will keep me from my uncle.
Oh
yes. A walk. Let me walk
close to thee. Oh.
Oh
do this well. Tall and
if
she Oh yes. Number the
deal or none of the '00
oh job so close
walk with.
It's gonna be
yes.
Let it be de la that it'll be
during
this year. The ragdoll mortuary has planned a big expansion program. When
completed, you will see one of the finest funeral centers in the west, a
beautiful new chapel, expanded pork and facilities will highlight this new
funeral center. This expansion program is to give you the public better
facilities and greater service. The Ragsdale mortuary where funeral
services began at $195 complete and no one has ever turned away for lack
of funds believes in quality at the very highest. So keep in mind this
fine funeral center being erected in east phoenix during this year,
Another public service offered by the Ragsdale mortuary. Yeah, we would
like to continue with songs by the famous caravan as they will sing for us
at this time. Must jesus bear the cross alone.
We'd
like you to think along with us today about a man who was rich, but yet
for our sakes, he became poor, we like you to think of him making his way
down the dusty streets of Jerusalem with a cross on his shoulders. And as
we think together here today, we like to ask, you must jesus, must jesus
bad. You
will we leave him to bear this old rugged cross along while
you, you and you and even me in all of this central world that we live in
while we stand around free
knowing that he cared the cost for us, knowing
that
redemption on the cross. But you know, as he made his way down the streets
of Jerusalem, a man named Simon stepped out from the crowd and I'm
inclined to believe he said these words in his heart,
can
you say that today? Way?
And every once in a while I like to tell the Lord, I believe there's
somewhere
where there's a cross,
there's across there, across from me,
you know, we'll feel that our work has not been in vain. If one person
under the sound of our voices right now, we'll say along with us to the
law,
whatever he ever he will
you take up your cross and tell the love this
Oh,
oh,
oh
me!
When the time comes for final arrangements? Remember the Ragsdale mortuary
where funeral services began at $195 complete and no one has ever turned
away for lack of funds. We are just large enough to serve you sacred lee
and beautifully. Just small enough to know you and to help you. The
Ragdoll Mortuary has available for all churches, schools and places of
business. A beautiful calendar with the birthdates and pictures of famous
negroes of yesterday and today. If your church school, a place of business
does not have one of these, be sure to call for yours. Today. The Ragsdale
mortuary is open 24 hours every day of the week. The first half of this
program has been brought to you by the Ragsdale mortuary that features the

Valley life and casualty insurance company and the wonderful service that
our representatives give. We would like very much to serve you by coming

from a simple straight life policy to a daily income policy that replaces
some of the lost income due to sickness or accident.

offer. But it's good to know that we have them and you can feel safe when
you and your family are insured with the valley life and casualty

that we are thankful for the many comments regarding our program and he's
sunday morning at this time. We're also happy to bring you amen with words
of inspiration, words of encouragement. The president of the Valley Life
and casualty insurance company and the director of the Ragsdale mortuary
Lincoln Ragsdale.
Thank you Mr Coleman. We have a very important announcement to make to you
today that dr martin Luther King will be with us on the third day of june.
That's the first Wednesday in june next month Instead of being with us on
the 27th of May this month. We postpone it one week because dr King will
have a longer time to spend with us. We want you to come and get your
tickets for her to hear dr martin Luther King, because this is the
greatest man and the greatest negro that we've ever produced. Dr martin
Luther King, He's a nominee for the nobel Peace Prize. He's the
outstanding man of the year. Let's come in here, Dr martin Luther King.
And again, I want to thank you for the prayers that you've given to my
father while he's in the hospital, He's gained some weight. He's up to 115
lb now, He's gained five lbs in the last week. And I talked him on the
phone this morning, he told me to tell all the people in the phoenix who
have been praying for him and hold a good thought for him, told me to tell
you that God has been merciful to him. He hasn't suffered many pain and
he's doing much better.
You become, What do you think about
you, become what you think about for a year. Now we have been talking
about race and about the negro here in phoenix and we have tried to give
you a correct image of a negro in the correct image of yourself because so
many times people think bad of themselves and they think bad of their
family. And sometimes they say that I don't have an opportunity and they
say that I can't get ahead in life. And they say that I'm poor and I'll
never get out of this predicament. Let us look at the bible. Let's turn to
Mark 9 23 and we read, if I can believe it, all things are possible
and the bible tells us all through that we must have faith fast to succeed.
And life is just like a mirror.
It reflects back to you what you give to end. If you're happy, if you're
positive and you think good thoughts, you will give back your good
thoughts. If you're negative and hateful and mean and talk about people
and tell stories on people and allowing people life would do the same
thing to you. If you want to be a prosperous, cheerful, successful, let's
think positive today. Let's tell the world that we're good people, that
the negro people are striving to have something and going to go forward.
And let's always keep in mind you become what you think about. If you
think good phones about your church, about your pastor, you will become a
good person. But if you think negative thoughts, then you will become
negative. Let's leave one grateful with us. You become what you think
about
this sunday morning. We have a friend that's home from the hospital who's
been in for over a week. The honorable Mr. Gilbert grain who was
representative on the west side for over four years who served us well in
all of his people. He had a heart attack and he's at home on a kona our
seventh avenue. And Pepe go. We asked all of his friends to say a prayer
for him this morning for Brother Gilbert Gray who is ill. And we ask you
to pray today for his family and ask God to give him the strength that he
shall overcome because we know that if we call on God, he'll make all
things possible and he'll be merciful unto us.
We
tell you until next sunday morning when the ranks don't mortuary Located
1100 East Jefferson Street. Who is offering and bringing to you service In
the Ready Fellow Life Insurance Company. 1140 East Washington Street made
