Louise Csmbric, music director of St. Andrews Community
Church, receives corsege from Jemes Crolley, Master of Cere
monies.
It was practically a family affair
except that there was an overflow
crowd of friends and well-wishers
from the community on hand when,
in a two-day event, the congregation
of St. Andrews Community Church
took their new young minister to
their hearts.
Starting with a "fa m ily ” dinner
for 175 people in the recreation
rooms of the church on Saturday
evening, the celebration on the Sab
bath moved upstairs to the sanctu
ary for the Sunday services conse
crating the Rev. Louis Osborne Jr.
as minister of St. Andrews.
At the Saturday fund-raiser event
all guests were seated at tables set at
tractively for eight persons with a
host or hostess presiding.
Invocation, given by the Rev.
John Garlington of Maranatha
Church, was followed by a song,
"A m azing G race," sung by John
Frazier. James Crolley acted as
Master of Ceremonies. Nile Pauli,
Portland area H U D manager,
brought greetings. The "Young Os
borne Singers," Danny, Yolanda
and Joy, were joined by their
mother, Gwen Osborne, in a song or
two.
James Crolley introduced Tim
Lawrence, another soloist, pinned a
corsage of roses on Louise Cambric,
music director for the church, and
then invited all the Osbornes to
stand. Osbornes rose to their feet in
all corners of the room. From then
on it was pure Osborne family enter
tainment for this was a Roast with
Louis Osborne Jr. the subject.
Mrs. Ruth Osborne, mother of
the Rev. Louis Osborne Jr. (and his
12 brothers and sisters), came from
California as a surprise guest. Mod
erator for the Roast was a brother,
Danny. In turn, Macky, Danny and
Arnold took brotherly jabs at the
guest pf honor who withstood it all
with good grace.
On Sunday, in the presence of
over 300 persons the Rev. Louis Os
borne Jr. was installed as St. A n
drews’ minister by the Rev. Ned
Luther of the Conference o f the
United Church of Christ.
Participating in the impressive
ceremonies was the Rev. Louis Os
borne Sr., minister of Faith Tab
ernacle. He is father of the new min
ister.
Also taking part in the celebration
were the Rev. Donald Severson; the
Rev. B. Devers of New Hope Bap
tist Church; the Rev. Dorsey of
Highland United Church of Christ;
the Rev. Edgar Luther of Hillsboro.
Lay persons having a role in the
day’s event were Chris Kelson for
the youth of the church and Frances
Williams representing the adult con
gregation. James Crolley again act
ed as moderator.
Guest choirs came from New
Hope Baptist Church and from
Faith Tabernacle Church.
A smoker at the residence of W il
son Walker arranged for last Satur
day evening by members of Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., served
to revitalize this society in Portland.
The local chapter. Epsilon Zeta
Lambda, was first established in
1950.
Active all during the ’50s, the fra
ternity became involved in the '60s
with the Civil Rights struggle and
members
worked
principally
through the NAACP and the Urban
League.

The slate of officers elected at the
first meeting includes: Joseph Bow
man, president; George Hendrix,
vice president; H arry W ard, trea
surer; James Davis, secretary; Dr.
Clarence Pruitt, sergeant-at-arms;
Shelby Golden, editor of the
Sphinx; Galven Irvy, Chaplain;
Robert Shaw, historian; Willis W il
liams, Membership Chairman.
According to James Davis, secre
tary, the local chapter will be con
cerned with the plight of Black
youths in high schools. Work with
some of them fits in as one o f the
five components of the program the
Alphas have chosen for long-range
plans.
Rated as the "number one’’ com
ponent, says Davis, is the Alpha in
tention to "encourage Blacks in
business to help Blacks to become
producers as well as consumers."
Next will be an Alpha youth de
velopment program which is expect
ed to include a "Leadership Devel
opment Institute"; youth motiva
tion and recognition; career guid
ance coupled with job fairs and sim
ilar events.
Alphas plan also to "build oppor
tunities to secure a proclamation
recognizing the birthday of Martin
Luther King as a national holiday.
They will campaign to extend the
Voters Rights Act and they expect to
support the evolving issues of self-
sufficiency, self development, per
sonal success, and to press for
"prosperity for those traditionally
oppressed or poor."
