The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1908-10-30

On last Sunday most of the churches
in the city were unusually well at
tended. There seems to have been an
understanding with the ministers in
what could be styled an interdenomi-
national agreement. The force of each
sermon was on the line of the race
question. Practically every term or
phase of their discourse was a fun
damental, far-reaching advice to the
young people to ally themselves with
Christian organizations with the
churches and Sunday-schools. Be
ginning at the smallest church in
the city, those usually having the
smallest congregations, and going up to
the largest, it was noticeable that an
increased number of members and
visitors we're present. 1t was stated
during the week that a real interest
was being awakened, primely, it is
supposed that the coming fall and
winter are responsible for the bringing
out Of these large numbers of church
goers, but in reality Judging from the
turn of events it is the good work be-
ing accomplished by the able pastors
of the churches in the city who have
rendered yeoman service in expound-
ing the Gospel. Nashville is not drift
ing as some would think into greater
vice. The number Of conversions, adj
ditions shown on the several church
roll books, and the general moral up
lift now apparent are arguments, and
furnish facts that cannot be denied.
Nearly all of the African Methodist
ministers were out Of the city last
Sunday in attendance to their confer
ence, but the services were none the
less interesting. At Thompson Chap
ell DR.. e. W. S. Hammond preached an
able, instructive, far-reaching sermon ;
at Howard Congregational, Rev. Mr..

telligent manner; at Jackson Temple
G.. M, e. Church, Rev. Mr. Amos, the

to an unusually large audience; at
Sylvan Street Baptist Church, Rev.
Mr. Haynes spoke; out on Mt. Nebo,
Rev. Mr.. Slaughter occupied the pull
pit; at Fifth Avenue, Rev. Mr.. Wilson
spoke Clark Memorial had its reg
lar interesting services, Payne Chapel
likewise, while ST. Paul and ST. John
A. M. E. Churches contributed much
to augment the attendance of church
goers. At the First Baptist Church
DR.. Ellington spoke, and held his in
creasing audience as usual, dwelling at
length upon the needs of the race,
making biblical COMPARISONS. At Mt.
Olive DR.. Clark emphasized that Eve
need more men-more men in the
churches, more men in the homes,
more men in the Sunday-schools. more
men in business, more men in profess
sions and more men in every walk of
life" At the Kayne Avenue Baptist
Church, Rev. Mr. Lott was practically
hammering upon the same question
At the Second Baptist Church, of
which Rev. G. B. Taylor is the nastor
and at the Hawkins Street Church,
Rev. ]. Harding, pastor, the subject
was being given equal attention. The
usual interesting services were held
at Union Chapel "Fisk Memorial. "

Mt. Zion, Pleasant Green, First Street
Tabernacle and the others of the city
