The well-known proverb. I'm
Union there is strength. - is a lesson
which should be daily taught and
practiced. There can be no true sue
cess where this element OF character
is wanting. Whatever may be ones
ideas aud purposes, success Will not
cheer. unless this element together
with others, is moulded and blend
ed in a focus.
No church or people can succeed
with an unfading success where they
are not taught and practiced. BE il

God called and ordained him for the
Fifth Street Baptist Church. There
is no doubt in our minds about that.
He suits the Fifth Street Baptist
Church better than any other preach
