There was a lovely time at the
Fifth Street Baptist Church last sun
day. Sunday morning was indeed a
love feast. We can't recall the dav
when everybody was carried TO such
a high spiritual pitch as they we're
last Sunday morning Pastor Rev.
DR.. W. +. Graham was far beyond
his usual manner: a new spirit or
we might say the Holy Ghost took
the entire possession Of him seeming
ly. We don't think the Doctor him |
self realized the circumstances and
surroundings.
The Doctors subject was, 10. |
am with thee always. even TO the end |
OF the world a subject ne had often !
preached. but not as he did last sun
day morning. The sermon was in
deed heartfelt. If such services as
this one were preached in our church !
every Sunday and in the other |
churches likewise. we don't think sin
ners could stand out I'm open rebel |

many restraining laws to which all |
OF our churches resort.
IF be lifted up. I'll draw all men |

Sunday night Rev. r. ID. McCreary
OF the Union University preached a
good sermon. which was enjoyed by
all DR.. w. F. Graham was at the
Second Baptist Church, South Rich
mond, Va. where he preached for
the Rev. Dr. d. Webster Davis. The
Second Baptist Church Is celebrating
its anniversary.

(Sunday School is still improving.
The new resolve has done much good.
Officers and teachers are becoming
more and more Jealous and the schol-
are are following in their footsteps.
If the officers and teachers carry out
their resolve to meet at $40, the
parents OF children say by their &C
tions, their children shall meet them.
They realize that the children are 10

officers sometime in the future.
Our motto text continues to be
"Punctuality." II was carried out
promptly Sunday morning. Supt.
Prof. B. II. Peyton opened the school
promptly at the time. Another feat

Dr. johnson of Alexandria, Va. was
present and delivered a fine talk 10
the school, which was well received.
Mr.. Matthew Doyle favored the school
with one Of his sweet solos. BE on
time Sunday morning.-Estelle ID.

The Prayer Services last Wednes-
day night were fairly good. The
Church has resolved to make this
department better in every way. The
younger members are thinking along
the same line. Usually the young ell
ement of the church don't go to Pray
er Meetings. They have heretofore
given it over almost entirely 10 those
in advanced years. but we think by
a little exertion they can be gotten |
out. They can do much in this re-
spect. Come out Wednesday night |
on time.
B. Y. p. u. Meeting nights, Fri |
day night of each and every week. |
These meetings will be OF untold |
good. Come out on time Friday |
night. President John w. Howard /
desires to have you come on time. |
Don't forget Rally Sunday. Let ev-
erybody do his duty.
We are pleased TO note the mar
riage OF Asst. superintendent K. II. |
Fauntleroy and Miss Annie r. Morris, |
which will take place Thursday morn
