one of themost eloquent orators in the
United States, is ahead of all church
denominations of any religion, in this
city. The Church of which he is the
pastor, one year ago, November 27th.,
1907, established a Free Dispensary in
connection with his church.
The subject had been discussed by
two medical men connected with the
church, as will be seen by the report
of the secretary, and which was
quickly carried into operation. 10TH
Street Baptist Church has always
been progressive in its ideas.
\ very few months ago, this church
introduced individual communion
service which no other colored church
in the city has.
Connected with the Dispensary are
SOME of the leading physicians and
druggists in the city. The most prom

of the largest up-to-date drug stores
in the city.
