the subject What Is Our Life?"
Great was this sermon
The public is interested in the de-
velopment of the realty holdings of
tie race in this city. Therefore the
outcome of the rally which is in
progress at Central Baptist church
which has as its object the laying of
foundation for a new church, is at
tracing more than ordinary interest.
The site which this church has is now
Of the most beautiful in the city. Its
location is also such that it will serve
the congregation best, being central
and accessible. The purpose is to put
down a foundation that will be the
beginning of greater church of such
beauty and size as will care for the
needs of years to come.
Tomorrow is our rally day and we
hope to make it a perfect success.
The pastor will preach at HIS: sub
