In his annual report before the Con-

tion at Greensboro, and said the past
year had been time of great outward
expansion and internal development.
A number of Societies were organized
and died almost as soon as they were
has been large growth IN the past
year. There has been broadening Of
fellowship between the denomina-
tions, and new work by individual
societies. The districts are better or
gained and are ia working order, The
rank and file OF the membership are
more earnest and enthusiastic.
After reviewing the year, he offered
many useful suggestions regarding the
Nv r ka<n n t,.,%
the societies devote more attention to
the work Of the committees. He ex-
pressed the hope that the Christian

Leagues to the end that they may
work together for the cause of Christ.

societies in towns and cities, where

AT BROAD STREET.

Special Thanksgiving and Anniver-
sary Services, Held Sunday.
The special thanksgiving and ami
versary services, held at Broad Street
Church, Monday, were attended by
good congregations.
The address by Rev. DR.. Brown, of
the First Baptist church, at IL a. M,
was replete with practical thoughts
and was attentively listened to by an
appreciatlve congregation. His sub
ject was 'ChrisJian and Denomina-
tional Brotherhood" His texts were
chosen from Hebrews 1871 and 1st
Peter PIT.
The DR. stated that brotherly love
was badge OF discipleship and an
OF the commands to be obeyed. 1t is
grace to be cultivated. We love the
brotherhood by cooperating with
them in all the things that are good.
By cherishing the kindliest and
friendliest feelings toward all. By
MISUNDERSTANDING disco1d and strife
among Gods people.
AS result of this we have Chris
tian unity and individual growth in
grace.
He congratulated the church and
pastor upon the payment of their
debt.
Pastor Jones followed with an ear
nest talk in which he thanked all who
had aided in paying the church debt.
He said members OF all denominations
and some who were not In the church
contributed TO the debt-every cent of
| which had been collected. He also
| spoke affectionately Of the Winston
Salem people.
1t was beautiful and impressive
| service.
| At the evening service, the pastor,
Rev. N. s. Jones, preached the last of
his series Of sermons upon "Spots on
the Church." The subject was ''Sel-
| fishness," and was based upon I'd
| Timothy, Sd chapter, I'd verse: "For
| men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boosters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy." The subject
was interestingly and helpfully treat
ed from these standpoints Selfish
ness antagoniZes the spirit of Christ;
it tends TO drive the Holy Spirit from
the heart; it tends to destroy ones
OWE happiness; denominational sell
fishness binders the progress of Chris
! tlanity.
