st. Paul Churches and Matters
Pertaining to the Spiritual
Progress of Their
Pastors and People.

AFTER an absence OF several weeks at
tending conference and looking after
official business, Rev. J. M. Henderson
has returned to the city and begun the
work of his third year as pastor of the
popular church now so widely known as
st. James Church. The warm welcome
which he is receiving on all hands
speaks we'll for the prospects of the COM
ing year. This coming Sabbath service
will be held as usual, only an extra good
time is expected. The membership Of
St. James is faithful and true to their
church and can always be relied upon
to do their duty, each faithful member
will be foand in his pew Sabbath and
ready to put his shoulder to the wheel.
There are few who habitually neglect
to attend class and shirk their duty, they
will be promptly expelled unless they
Immediately begin 10 amend their ways.
There are few given to gossip and the
sowing of dissentions, they will be
brought up and tried according to the
laws of the chu'ch if any more is heard
from them. Immoral, unfaithful, und
unworthy people cannot belong to any
we'll conducted A. M. E. Church. The
people of St. James church propose to
60 ahead this year as they have ever
done, and earnestly attend to their duty
and interfere with no one; all are well
come who choose to attend any service
and behave orderly. The people of st,
Paul may well be proud to bring their
friends to visit St, James. The first Sum
day Of October Rev. R. Knight will be
present and told Quarterly meeting, all
are invited. A great big time is expect
ed tomorrow, let every body come
Some busy bodies have said that the
famous St. James choir is disbanded,
but don't get uneasy, a big surprise is
in store. The condition of the church is
better than it has been at the beginning
of any year of it's existence and the pros
poets are most glorious for a grand re-
vlval.
PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH,
Every thing about the church is TAX
ing Oh an air of getting readiness. The
summer being past, the harvest season
is upon us. Will there be harvest of
souls among us? Are we expecting to
see sinners converted? Every enter

as the soul of it, sinners salvation. The
attendance at our Wednesday evening

manifested in this meeting is indeed
wonderful. Friday evening meeting

and great spiritual power. We are
