 Rev. Charles H. Rieketts made a felicitous speech in behalf of the sis ter churches of other denom ina tions. You have been teaching us the great fundamentals of d Christian religion, pa tience. courage, persistency, faith and sacrifice. The reasonable expen : diture of energy means also the de- veIopment of greater strength. You have yet to learn that every dollar you gave to your church is not lost but is a gain, a spiritual investment that will bring back high interest. terest-

 Congratulations of the State.
 Dr. Coats stated that he brought the congratulations of the 152 Baptist churches in the state. He said that there is something in your hearts after the completion of such d task that leads you to somber reflection. rather than the opposite. For one thing. the work has not been done perfectly. be- cause it was done by imperfect beings No matter how much heart, how much energy, how much time you put into your work, there is something lacking. The proudest monuments that men can build crumble to dust. But God does all things perfectly, and his work lasts forever. As in the prayer of Noses let the beauty of the Lord come down and let God establish our work. When the glory of God comes into our lives and shines upon our work. the luster Is eternal. No life without the beauty of God can be successful; with it any life can be gloriied
 Rev. J. R. Very spoke a few words of appreciation of the assistance that has been given him during his labors for the past two years, especially men tioning the help of Mrs. William P. Greene.
