Our Churches Well Attended
and Brief Mention-Read That Edi-
torial Again.
A little more than year ago. we of
ten made mention of the fact in these
notes that the pulpit of the Fifth Bsp-
tist was vacant and that this section
was one among the best fields in this
city, all that was needed was the right
man, one of strong and good moral
character, sound in Baptistic doctrine
who would go in and out before our
people with department that cher
acter re the true christian gentleman I;
and he oulJ find some as good and
true people as could be found any
where.
We wrote letters to several divines
commencing our church and people
in the highest. and today we have no
cause TO regret anything we have pub
iished or written in praise of our
church and people. The columns of
the Planet has been perfectly free and
open to us to publish Just what we see
and think for the good and advance
ment Of our people as a representa-
tive of the PLANET we feel proud of
what we have been able to accomplish
through it for our people in general
and this section in particular.
We are satisfied that Rev. III Powell
and family will bare as out for the
treatment and consideration OF our
people has shown them the ten months
| they have been with as that we havs
made no mistake in what we have pup
| lished. For the 4th or 9th time they
have been surprised by members
Gnd friends generally, People who
were never known 10 attend the Fifth
Church are now regular in attendance
Formerly we were agreeably surprise d
to see a large congregation, now we
are at wonder and astonished TO al
ell times see such large crowds, and
Ionly surpI ised Co see small crowds.
Again, it was evidenced by the large
and fashionable cZowds that greeted
Editor Mitchell recently on two nights
one night it was rainy and stormy, new
theless the people came out 10 do hon
or to a worthy leader.
, On last Tuesday night over 500 peo
I pie (several white) was at 9TH Jhurcl
! to patronize the concert given by TIT
Youth Band of the Virginia Seminar,
led by Prof. u s. G. Patterson. A
: least 500 was realized from these en-
| tertainments. All this &C for to estab
/ lish the fact that our people knows
good thing when they see it, and vii
| sustain and help forward good work
| and honorable leaders.
Our women are standing up nobl
! in the defence of virtue, morality an
{ right.
III Our young men show signs of ad
{ Ivancement in sobri-ty, morality an
Ichristian conduct. The community

s es confident and spiritually stronger
: Imorally better and financially frme
: and safer. We are ever ready to col

. The editorial in the PLANET of la
:, week on the difference made in I'll
! Iexeeution Of the same law on two me

% is. alone worth more than years sui
y scription to this paper If or peep

Q before election day the men tn,

10 discrimination as pointed out in Il
editorial referred to. is q burniI
