PASTOR OLDEN's SERMON.
Tells of the Good w ork Done by the
First African Baptist Church.

Rev. G. d. Olden, pastor of the First
African Baptist church preached his
Fourth annual sermon to a large and
appreciative congregation. He took
for his text, Growth in Grace, Peter,
8-18.
Another year of tolls and cares,
happiness and JOY has passed he said,
and through the providence o. COD
we assemble here today to thank God
for all the blessings we have received
and to crave more at his bountlf II
hands"
Mr. Olden said in this world of ours
there is no standing still, we are either
growing better or worse, wiser or more
ignorant we must take our stand
must stand for the teaching of Christ
or the teaching of the devil. There can
he no compromise between right and
wrong in the sight of God.
He said the Christian is of no service
in the cause of God unless he grows
high enough in Christ for the world to
see and recognize his influence for good.
The strongest and best proof of
church growing in grace IS when It is
engaged in saving souls. This covers
the entire field OF it's mission on earth.
He also said to grow in grace we
must also grow in knowledge. GOD
never intended religion to be an excuse
for ignorance. To continue i'm ignorance
and profess christianity is q strong
proof against our profession. He spoke
Of growth in giving and in content
ment.
lie Sa1Q there were some CnOgC0 mem
beTs who are never cOntented unless
they were in a row. This class OF
Christians would be q blessing to the
world if they were in heaven. The way
to be happy in this world is not TO ele-
waite our station to our mind but to-
bring down our mind to our station
He said the point upon which the
church stands today is more lofty than
any occupied before.
There is not a debt hanging over the
church that has been made under the
present pastorate these four years.
Each month and year has met its own
obligations. Aside from reducing the
debt of $500 to $500 on our present
house of worship on First street and
paying off the mortgage and taxes on
our Quincy street property we have
raised and paid out on the new build
ing $3.50. The total amount raised the
four years is nearly S. 600.
He closed by saying let US thank
God for the peace and prosperity
which He has so bOuntifut.v bestowed
upon us. and let US take fresh and re-
newed courage.
