OVER A CENTURY OLD

BALTIMORE, November 25.--The
First Baptist church ef this city will
on November 81 begin weeks ceie-
bration of its one hundred and TWEEN
ty-hfth anniversary, with some dis
tinguished speakers from the North
or the South each night. During the
125 years of it's HE this church has
had only seven pastors. record that
1t is thought is hardly eQualled by
any other church In the country. This
church has followed the policy of sup
porting Its pastors who have had to
retire on account ~ age. The first
pastor after serving the church for SO
years. found 1t necessary because of
age and infirmities To resign, and he
was voted a life pension of 5000 q
year, which d hundred years ago was
regarded as a fair income. Another
pastor who after long service also re-
signed on account of age. was made
pastor emeritus at a salary of $1,000
a year for life.
Though the organization Of this
church took place in 1855, Ii was
really the outgrowth ef a congrega
ton of Baptists who had been meet
ing together since t773, or prior TO
the Declaration Of Independence.
Even in 1773 land must have been
valuable, for the records show that
the congregation paid one hundred
and fifty pounds for a half acre on
which to erect It's building.
AS indicating the discussion that
was taking place Oh the subject Of
slavery more than leo years age. the
following paragraph from the annual
letter Of the church to the State Assoc
eiation written in 1889. is of interest:

ferings and unhappy condition of the

are unlawfully held in bondage. and
we are happy to observe that the So
eiety lately established III this town
has been serviceahie in the cause OF
+, liberty. This matter dweils on our
minds with peculiar weight.
The records show that negro slaves
had been received into the church. as
was the custom In churches through
out the South, both by letter and by
baptism. They also show that sub
sequent TO this the question had been
discussed whether slaves were capable
of being church members. This WAS
decided in the affirmative. On mum
her of occasions the records OF the
church show that the question was
discussed whether slaves should he
allowed to vote In church business
meetings, but they do not indicate
what decision was finally reached.

Legend OF Mignoncttc.


Once upon a time there lived a
king and queen who had daughter
that was the most beautiful princess
ever seen. But she was so amiahle
and good that people forgot how beau
tiful she was and only spoke of her
goodness She had long golden curls:
but when the maid combed them and
got the fine hair tangled the prin-
cess never cried or got cross. At the
table she never spilled her soup, and
used her napkin and knife and fork
properly. When the king and queen
had 10 go on long trips. the princess
did not cry or pout to go with them.
She was so lovely and good that the
queen Of the fairies heard Of her and
determined to reward her. So she
went to the palace and entered the
presence of the princess. II have come
10 tell .you," said the fairy, that I
have heard of your beauty and kind
ness and have come to reward you
Here are three wishes. Choose which
you want, and II is yours always. First
you may be bird, or go from one end
Of the earth to the other, with no one
to say nav or to interfere. Secondly,
YOU may be butterfly. with no care
I'm the world--~only to be gay and hap
ny and beautiful and to charm those
who want to be happy during slim
mer day. Thirdly. you may be a
flower whose sweet perfume will cheer
those who are unhappy soothe them
when they are sick and Will he a
cheerful companion always" Then the
princess said: "ff / We're bird,
might fly too far from my home and
friends and forget TO return. so win

| might think more of my pleasure
and ease than Of my duty. and my
beauty might cause me to be vain. So

fort those who may be in need"
Then the fairy queen waved her
wand and the princess became the

God. who made the little child q
thing Of laughter and of tears that
are close to the springs of mirth;
who ordained that youth should
texuIt in all the splendour of its
dreams; who purposed that men and
women should be strong and brave;
never intended us to look askance at
life, and discount its value and beauty
by thoughts of its transience. The
message of the fading leaf comes but
once year. As God treads the earth
and the days and seasons follow Him,
each brings Its own Divine revelation.
Spring and summer tell of hope and
JOY, and even winter is but sleep
in which the earth dreams of things
to come. The autumn MESA ge--with
its sadness, its dying cadences. It's
solemn music--comes in its turn, and
only then.
But if II would be wrong to be
always thinking Of the fading leaves
OF autumn, 1t would be equally wrong
not to listen when God is speaking
from every changing hedgerow. and
reminding us of the passing of all
the glory and pomp of life. We may
not read our future, or anticipate a
slow and gentle ending. But We do
know that at some time or another
the wind that blows between the
worlds Will touch US, and We shall

strange thought that we shall fall
