One year this very dav.

On wings Of everlasting Joy,
Flew to her home above.
Oh ! how [ miss her tender voice,
No human tongue can tell.
But yet I feel within my heart,
God doeth all things we'll.
Faithful was she to her church,
Meekly and obediently she
heard the commands,
And persistently by her faithful
labors,
She is now at Gods right hand.
So dear mother sleep on and

IN your most excellent paper to
say a word about our work. We
are planning to have the Little
River Bapt. association of Abbe-
vile Co. to meet with the Rocky
Mount Baptistsg church near
Honea Path, S6st after the
3rd Lords Day in August 1915.
The pastor Rev. w. H. Miller
with the members are doing all
they can to have it pleasant for
the delegation and friends during
the session. Rev. Miller,is quite
a faithful pastor. QIiKsnhurch
has succeeded very si Esfully
since he has been witH8ll
Not long since he was called to
to the Hopewell Baptist church
near Laurence and he has
been very heartily received. Rev.
Miller isa graduate of Benedict

compromising gospel. Hopweell
is one of the best church in the

an uRGEN15|APPEAL
To the Baptist Of South Caro-
lima. J,

We are making this appeal to
every Baptist pastor, church, Sun
day School, Union and Association
III the State in the behalf of Morris
College. You are hereby asked and
urged to Immediately take a con-
tribution for the mortgaged debt Of
Morris: College, which debt mustbe
looked after at once.
The amount asked for is two
dollars ($2 O0} from each church,
Union. and Association and one
dollar ($l.O0) from each Sunday
School. The amount asked is small,
and we truly hope that no church
Union, Sunday School, or Associa-
ton will fail to respond to this ap-
peal at once. There are many in
dividuals who can easily give one
dollar ($i.OO) and we earnestly
call upon all such to 90 so. Z
If any church. Sunday School,
Union, Association or Individual
can give more than the amount
asked for, by all means do so. but
do not fail to give the amount here
in stated. Every dollar contributed
in response to this appeal will be
applied to the college without de-
Quoting a single cent for expense.
Now brother, the matter is
squarely before you Do you love
your denominatio Do YOU want
it to own something? Then now is
your time to act. Morris College
does not belong to any particular
section, or association; it belongs
to all sections,t to all associations, TO
the denomi1iation-to one and to
every Negro Baptist of the state.
Now, show whether or not you
care for your own.
We send this appeal to each pastor
with the hope that he will present
it at once to his church and Sunday
school, and help in whatever ys say
he can in this vital and pressing
matter.
The reputation Of the Baptists is
at stake. Line up and ask God to
help save the two hundred and
fifty thousand (250, ,O0o) Baptists
in this state,
Send all money orders and checks
to Rev. DR.. A. P. Dunbar. 1901 j.
2 Taylor street, Columbia, :. G..
who will promptly receipt you for
the same and have your name and
organization with the amount con-
tributed published in the "Pilot"
which is now our official and de-
nominational newspaper.
Yours for the cause, Finance
