 Speak to Baptists Today.

At the First Baptist Church today, the pulpit will be occupied by the pastor. Dr. Charles A. Stakely, who win preach at both the morning and the evening service.
 Dr. Stakely has returned home from Athens, Ga, the seat of the State Unt- versity, where he went to preach the baccalaureate sermon for the famous Lucy Cobb Institute. He says that in addition to the honors of the occasion, he was favored with an experience that does not often come to a minister, the privilege of addressing persons connected with every pastorate that he has held.
 These pastorates in pr. Stakely's case have been Elberton and Augusta Ga, Charleston, s. C., Washington, D. C., and Montgomery, Ala. It was an old time ovation from friends of sev- eral pastorates. The doctor began his pastoral life at Alberton, a little to the east of Athens in January, 1881.
