Rev. Albert r. Bond, late of Nash
vile, Tenn, who lately located at Mag
nolia, preached at the Baptist Church
last Thursday night, and after the SER
mon the church held a conference and
extended to him a unanimous call to
serve it as pastor for half of his time
the ensuing year, he having already
been called by the Magnolia Church
for half his time. Mr.. Bond preached
for the Brookhaven Church again Sun
day, at which time he signified his ac-
ceptance of the call made Thursday
night. He is young man, about % or
26, consecrated, scholarly and full of
zeal and enthusiasm, and made fine
impression on his congregation, in and
out of the pulpit. He was accompanied
by his cultured and attractive young
wife, who also made pleasing impress
sion on our people who met her.
The following data will be of interest
to all Brookhaven church-goers and to
Christians generally: Rev. B. +. Jones
served as pastor of the Brookhaven
Methodist church four years, and dur
ing that time received la members; 8
members have died; % funeral services
were conducted by him; 20 marriage
ceremonies performed; II adults and
Is infants baptized. AS to the finances
of the church the following will show
the good work Bro. Jones accomplished
in that department. During the first
year of his incQmbency, 1895, the
church gave for alr purposes S128o. 10:
the following year, 1896, S133200: for
1897, S1637.65, and for 1898, S170137,
which shows an increase of over $4,000
from 1895 TO 1899. Bro. Jones next ap-
pointment is at Hattiesburg, and while
hoping that he may escape both yellow
fever and small pox, we also wish him
the greatest success in his work and
health and prosperity to his excellent
family.
