THE BAPTIST DEDICATION.
DR.. Cocko's Stirring Address at the
Jefferson Street Church

LII SoChS'S SClrTiuS AuuTeSS at tEe
Jefferson Street Church
On Sunday the dedication exercises
proper were held in the Jefferson Street
Baptist Church. The house was filled at
every service and the addresses by Doc
tors Cooke aud Willingham were listened
to with rapt attention. DR.. Cooke gave
some very encouraging figures in his ad-
dress on the Divine in evangelization, say
ing among other things that churches in
stead of being vast business organiza-
tions, should becoms more allied with
the spirito of Christ. The address was his
torica,, helpful and Astounding in good
advice.
AT the afternoon service DIR. Willing
The music was in charge of the choir of
the First Baptist Church. DR.. Willing.
hams address was II strong appeal deliv-
cred in his most able manner and the
congregation was much affected by his
earnest ords. The sum of $500 was
subscribed on the chuch building debt,
the balance of which 5000 was subscribed
at the night service. AT night DR.. We'll
lingham's subject was Foreign Missions.
No passage of scripture was selected as II
text as the doctor said the whole Bible
taught foreign missions. The.speaker is
the corresponding secretary of the for
eign mission board. of the Southern Bap-
tist convention and is, above all men,
fitted to handle the subject, which he did
in n maste-ful manner. His arguments
were overpoweriug and ..convincing. May
DIR. Willingham come again and edify
our people.
