are moving on nicely. The Second
Baptist church held communion
Sunday at II a. m. The congrega

right and left.

We witnessed grand time, a good
impression is being made. Our peo-
pie are reading more. Children &
Union at p. m !, attendance good.
Deacon M. Underwood is quite a
Bible man. That's what we need,
all deacons should read more, be-
cause the age demands it in these
days. You can't guess at what is
needed to be done in church days.
Foolishness has ruined many con-
gregations, and is still running them.
The South Tribe reported Sabbath
evening at Sis, $1,000.
When sin comes in, the heavenly
guest departs, or only waits around
to plead for better days. The heaven

at the same time as the fire of hell

best.

GHOSTS IN CHURCH.
some people will do nothing in
church unless they are head, and
when you put them head they are
naver to lead when you want them.
And you are not to move one stick,
if you do they will kick like mules,
and act like deamons in Christ's
church. My judgment is, you should
first learn to follow and be on time,
sober and quiet. apt in business for
the Master, and you will be the lead
er in business, standing head, with
the sword of the spirit in hand.
Never put a fractious man or wo-
man to lead anything in the church,
Just to get along with them, for there
is more room out, than in, for such
Ghosts. Some people in the church
will go five miles to be heard and
will not go one block to be a follower.
For myself, | doubt whether such
persons have ever been born or not
Jesus says, as many as are born Of
the Spirit are lead by the Spirit.
Some men in the church never
give anything, and they will not un-
til things get right. Poor fellow, he
sees his folly. The church ought to

this is one of the means
that the devil uses people in church

are called on to act and do for the
cause. We are not going to pay any
thing more while this man is here,
and things work like charm on a
watch. Why, because it confuses
the whole church, things begin to
drag. SO the devil has taken one
single point and driven the business
to the wall, with a handful OF idle
worshipers, who have rebelled the
church from the time they joined,
and never did pay anything, ana
never will. hand them down to
the readers Of the BAPTIST WORLD
as church tramps and ends Of beset-
ments, living on Gods ministers and

thing done in the church, Just troub-

church. They are only snares to
hobble your feet.
