BAPTIST Church at IIarborton Deda
Gated.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Please let me say to
the people who have SO kindly helped
me in my work at Harborton, that !
am profoundly grateful to them for
their kindness. Let me thank my
building committee first-I have
found them to be gentlemen in every
particular. They have been kind,
cooperative and painstaking. They
have stood by me. When started
my work, l saw I wanted men, and /
found them true and faithful. Then
I want to thank all the dear good
people at Harborton. I do not be-
lieve any man has truer, more faith
full friends than I have in Hacks
Neck. They have showed themselves
friends. true and faithful. I do not
believe they look upon me as an OPP
ponent or antagonist, but fellow
helper And here I want to say, l
could not have succeeded as l have,
but for the fact that have had
great church-"old Hollys''-at my
back. The brethren said to me "go
ahead and we will stand by you," and
they have faithfully done 80.
What can l say about our work on
Sunday at our dedication2 Let me
first thank the Methodist brethren
for their kindness in letting us have
the use of their church. The mighty
crowd could not find seats in one of
the churches. Both could not seat
the people. We had both churches
full, and two services at the same
time. 1t was mighty day. Judge
Gunter thrilled the people on "Bap-
List Progress" in Accomack. 1t was
an address worthy of any place and
at any time. Then. my brother, DR.
Dunaway, took the collection, and
the dear good people gave over one
thousand dollars. Pres. Weston's
sermon was one of great power and
interest. 1t was q day never to be
forgotten. The church is a perfect
gem-many declared it the prettiest
country church in Virginia. Finally,
dear brethren and friends, heartily
thank you for your liberality. A
man of God from Northampton came
to our rescue and gave $1,000. The
Lord bless and reward him. To all
my friends and helpers make to you
profound bow, and pledge to you in
the name of the Lord to do my best
to reward you for your kindness and
liberality by faithful labor. l am
very happy, and l hope you all are.
The Lord bless and reward you one
and all.

Pastor.
