Mr.. Roper has been a factor in the
educational moral, religious, civic
and physical advancement of Spartan
burg. Because his influence had
grown to be part of the life of the
city his departure from Spartanburg
will leave a great vacancy in the best
part of Spartanburg, vacancy that
can never be felt not only by the Bap-
tist denomination but by every church
in Spartanburg. Methodists, Presby-
terians, Episcopalians, Lutherans and

Rev Lewis NJ Roper, for twelve
church in this city, yesterday resign
ed this pastorate, and this morning
announced that he would accept the
call from the First Baptist church at
Petersburg. Va Mr.. Roper's connec-
ton with the church in this city will
be severed on March 81 and he will
assume his new duties the first Sun
day in April
Big Virginia Church.
The church at Petersburg, Va, is
next to the largest Baptist church in
that state being surpassed only by
church at Richmond in number of
members in the congregation 1t is
an excellent charge and much honor
was bestowed upon Mr.. Roper in call
ing him to fill the pastorate of this
church.
Mr.. Roper came to Spartanburg on
March /, 1900. Prior to this time, he
had served as pastor of the First Bap-
tist church in Canton, o., for four
years. Prior to this he was pastor
of the Baptist church at Utica, n. Y,
for three years, and he preached at
the First Baptist church in Rochester,
n. Y, for one year. Mr.. Roper is ma
tive of Laurens, s. C.
Strides Forward.
When he came to Spartanburg there
was but one Baptist church in the
city, and the home OF this congrega-
tion was an out-of-date structure
standing on the corner of North
Church and Wofford streets. The
membership was 400, and this was the
total number of members of the Bap-
tist congregations in Spartanburg.
Now there are LAO members of three
Baptist churches here. When Mr..
Roper came to Spartanburg the an
nual Offering to foreign missions was
$40 and this was all given by every
Baptist in Spartanburg Last year the
First Baptist church alone gave $2,5O0
to foreign missions.
The membership of that little
church, as has been stated, was 400.
Today there are 775 members OF the
First Baptist church alone, $50 at
Southside Baptist church and 6OC
members of the other Baptist church
es. The growth of the First Baptist
church would have been even more
remarkable but for the fact that Mr..
Roper was instrumental in organ
izing other congregations, when his
became too large for one church.
in 1900. just twelve years ago, the
annual expenses of the First Baptist
church were $2,5OO Today the church
expends annually $13,5OO and this
amount is being increased each year.
A New Home.
Aside from this excellent showing,
new home has been erected for the
church at the corner of Main and
Dean streets. This edifice, together
with the lot, was erected at cost OF
$4,000 and today the church owes on
the building and lot less than $4,000
In addition, the church ownes large
lot and home house on East Main St
next to the church, and the sale OF
one-half of this lot would pay off all
the Indebtedness of the congregation

Just as IT was breaking out OF the

King In we'll water last August. Weeks
passed before the woman realized there
was some living animal in her stomach,
She consulted doctors. but they
laughed at her.

clawed away at the membrane until
she several times tainted with pain
Still the doctors, when she told them Of
her fears, laughed.

the frog began to croak. She distinctly

bear her out. That determined her tc

She did so. She went to the emer.

pumped out Of its hiding place.
The frog lived 10 minutes in a tub o,

there Is no such thing as luck. This is
equally true whether the thesis be the
graduating paper of a high school girl or
express the conviction Of the mature phil
osopher.
Perhaps they are right. II they are the
combination Of circumstances producing
results that the thoughtless are wont to
ascribe to 'lucl1' presents a peculiar
study. The combination Is so prolonged
and intricate compared with the climax
that Is reached.
To tllustrate: A young man was stand
Ing at a street corner. He was wearing q
new straw hat, although he was the type
who would have termed 1t a lid. It must
have cost at least a dollar, even though
obtained at a bargain sale.
Along came a gust of wind, plucking
the hat p~layfully and bearing it toward
the opposite sidewalk in a straight line
that crossed at angles the path Of an in
coming car that was SO near that it a
to keep right on coming, and the car ar
rived just in time to crush, smash, pull
yerize and otherwise maltreat and deprive
of symmetry the hat in question.
Picking up a forlorn shape that a
been his hat, the oun man muttered.
All that he said may not be recorded here.
But 1t included mention Of luck, and some
dtsparaging reference as to the quality
and deserved fate of the same.
For a hat destroyed in some ways one
may demand recompense. It Is impossible
to sue a vagraut zephyr.
This leaves the question Just where II
started: Is there any such thing as luck Z
