BAPTIST.

At the Second Baptist Church, Fourth
street and Virginia avenue southeast.
Rev. Hinson Vernon Hewlett will close
his pastorate tomorrow. At a business
meeting on April 10. the church reluc-
family voted to accept the pastors resig-
atiOn and ordered that a letter. express
sive of the love and esteem of the people
be sent to the church to which Mr.. How
lett goes.
During the five years since Mr.. How
lett took up the work at the Second
Church, the most cordial relations have
existed between people and pastor. and
membership has been drawn upon. first to
form the Capital Church, later to unite
with the Columbia Church, and still later
to join with the Centennial Church. I'M
der the leadership of the former pastor Of
the Second Church, Rev. E. II. Sven,
who returned to the city about the time
Mr.. Howlett's pastorate began, from
Dothan. Ala, where he had assumed the
pastorate of the First Baptist Church.
Nevertheless. the membership has shown
a steady increase, more than 900 being
added during the five years. The Sum-
DAY school has been graded, A compe-
tent corps of teachers secured. and
comparatively high standard of religious
educati attained. The expenses OF
carrying on the work have been readily
met and the pastors salary was in
creased at the end of two years The
church has increased its contributions to
home and foreign missions. and taken
part in all other beneficent and philan-
thropic undertakings.
The closing days of Mr.. Howlett's
pastorate are made especially happy by
the atmosphere prevailing in the spe-
cial meetings. in which Rev. George
Pitt Beers of the Liberty Heights
Church, Baltimore, and a classmate of
Mr. Hewlett, has been assisting. On
Sunday and on Wednesday there were
a number baptized. The ordinance will
