number have been especially distinguished
for their success In different lines OF labor.
The nrss vas Rev. r. N. Pratt. the second Ii
Rev. n. w. Gordon, the pastor to-day.
Mr.. Pratt came 70 Abbeville some thirty
ysars ago and organized q little faithful band
OF brothers into Q church OF congregation Of
the Baptist faith. Being active fuil oil
zeal In church work ne not only kept the
CONGREGATION together, but he built the house
Of worship at Abbeville.. and went out INTO
the county n organised several other con
.gregations which built for themselves nice
houses OF worship. So TO speak, he planted
the seed which fell In good ground. All The
congregations which no organized have grown
greatly In membership and IN power Tor use
fulness.
Mr.. Gordon came to Abbevilie some two
years ago. and from his first appearances In
the pulpit mis- Influence has been felt. Since
he came the church has greatly prcspered:
The membeFship has Increased and their zeal
has kept pace with the demands OF the umes
Between eighty and ninety members have
been added under his pastoral charge. and
The contributions In money have increased In
like proportion.
Mr.. Gordon's success IL attributed largely 10
his personal work. Whenever he can do 30,
he visits among the brethren, and his visits
have made him friends, and from those
friends comes bis success.
