PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH.

PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH.
Our work may be washed away, like
that Of little children in the sand of the
sea shore, but that which God does en-
dures for ever. Our prayers should be
that we may have part in that work
that abides. What hath God wrought
in Pilgrim? We can truthfully say, that
he has wrought, peace, unity, love and
liberality in the hearus and these are
being evinced by the life. Easter
brought us much of joy and gladness,
then the next Sunday we had set for
our rally. Easter Sunday the cellec-
ton was $685. last Sunday $2Os.47 for
the week ending the 18th. 7 $22.4t The
pledges are not all in yet. Who but
God hath wrought such change in the
people, to make them willing to deny
themselves for Christ's sake, in order
that tina cause may 60 on. The promise
is, in as much as We have done it unto
one of the least, We have done it unto
me, and whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he reap, many are sowing literally
of this worlds goods to advance !: the
cause, and the Lord says: Verely ye
shall not loose your reward. The Y. P
S. G. E. held it's monthly meeting Tues
day evening, after which there was
short program rendered, then social,
the evening was spent very pleasantly,
The society is to give an entertainment,
some time during this month. Prof. G..
Morris's lecture of last week drew a
large and appreciative audience, very
many have since called at the Office of
the Prof. Is E. 9TH. street since for pri-
vate examinations. Services for the
week as usual Sunday preaching at
IL A. NJ. and 8 P. M. Sunday school at
l2-45, Y. P. S. G. E. at 6-45 Pm, We
must remember that a skillful mariner
sails by all winds, and we ought to make
progress through all circumstances.
The ladies will give an entertainment
on May 1918, the like of which St. Paul
has never enjoyed. Look out for it.
81. JAMES "A. M f CHURCH..
Each year St. James Church grows
stronger. The quarterly meeting last
Sunday reveals to the thoughtful many
encouraging signs. There were 1O3 who
communed. Some were detained BY
sickness, some were out of the city,
some were detained by circumstances
over which they had no control, and
perhaps few were absent because they
did not feel worthy. To such I would
say, remember, you have can advocate
with the Father"
Two united with the church as pro-
bationers. Miss Cynthia Reem and Mr..
Charles Miller. The sermon by Rev.
Knight in the afternoon was beyond all
question the most effective one he has
delivered here since his term as Presid-
ing Elder. Rev. s. B. Jones preached
in the morning and evening. Mr.. Jones
is young minister, with bright future.
The work accomplished under him last
year is seldom surpassed by any, and he

proper backing.
Rev. J. P. James, of Minneapolis, was
present in the afternoon. Rev. James
is meeting with grand success at his field
of labor. Rev. Williams was detained by
sickness.
The Stewards reported 129 active
members in full communion, % proba-
TONERS, 4 who left the city with letters,
and dismissed with letter. The classes
alone raised $123.46. The reports were
as follows: Joseph Jacobs class, $33 IS
I. H. Lyle's class, 1896: A. ]. Bells
class, 1885, and E. Ford's class, 1880.
The money raised by the classes for this
quarter alone is almost as much as was
raised by the classes during the whole
year three years ago. The Quarterly
meeting receipts were 5000.
