PRESIDENT BALDwIN's REPORT.

raca Glass,
Brethren
On March 14th, this class again
saw fit to honor me with another
term as President and I feel that I
did not deserve it, but as today yon
are to elect new officers, l want to
make to the class my report as to
what progress we have made in the
last six months.
| am glad to report to the class
the attendance for the last twenty
SIX Sundays a total of 1,175, giving
us about 40 per cent attendance
each Sunday on our membership.
For the six months ahead of the
past, our attendance was for TWEEN
ty-six Sundays 1,1S3; SO you can see
during the hot months--and hav-
ing no teacher for two months, 1
think we have done well, and should
be thankful.
On May goth, our beloved teacher.
Mrs. D. R. Little, sent to the Glass
her resignation to take effect at
once; this was a great loss to the
class and we hardly knew what to
do, as the success of our class was
due to Mrs. Little's efforts. After a
two months struggle, we were for
tunate in getting for our teacher,
Mrs. t. j. Handy, who has been
with us now four Sundays, and her
good lessoss asd Christian charac-
ter has been an Inspiration to the
class, and we predict for her a sue
cessful term as teacher.
The class was fortunate at the
time we had no teacher to have with
us at different times the following:
Chas. c. league, State Secretary of
the Barracks; Col. James L. Mayson;
DIR. j. E. Dickey; Mrs. Sam P. Jones;
Mrs. w. A. DuPre; Miss Regina
Rambo: Mr.. w. W. Edwards, Secre-
tary of the Y. M. c. A., Atlanta;
Mrs. W. L. Richardson; DR.. E. L. !
Harris; Judge H. L. Patterson; Mrs.
Pearl Welch; Rev. Paul Morris
Walker White; Col d. w. Blair; ex-
Chief J. L. Beavers; also our assis-
tant teacher, DR.. Smith.
| am glad to report to our class
the Baraca Quartette, Messrs, Bey-
erie, Northcutt, Cowan and Lewis.
This Quartette has already made a
big hit with their selections sung at
last Sunday nights services.
Now as to Finances, our last re-
port from our Treasurer, the amount
collected from March 21st to Au-
gust list is $101.60; paid out for Or
phan and Sunday School and other
expenses $94.50, leaving on hand
August LIST, $40. Our hat collec-
ton for the past twenty-six Sun
days has been 1854. My last re-
port shows our hat collection for
twenty-six Sundays was $4,000. So |
you can see with all of our bad luck |
we are still holding our own. Mrs. |
Little turned over to me $21.95, |
balance in bank from Minstrel Fund |
out of this 1 have paid the follow
ing bills:l 200 post cards, poor fund
and telegram $40: the balance,
$16.85 | have turned over to our
Treasurer. His report he will read,
shows he has handled in the last |
six months $135.94, and paid out
$l15.51, leaving balance on hand
of $20.43. AS the class knows-we
support an orphan at $500 a month,
and pay the Sunday School $500 a !
month Any member of the Class
can see an itemized statement of the
money paid out by asking the Sec.
am glad to report to the Glass
that during the North Georgia Con-
ference held here that our class paid
for half of the hose, four hundred
pair, given away to the visiting min
listers at no expense to the Class;
also a sign on the front of the
church at a cost of $1,000. l am
glad to report to the Glass some ac-
cessions to the church from our
class; this class is part Of the
church and l hope we will continue
to get members from this class. l
can't close this report without max
ing special mention of the last time
Mrs. D. r. Little was with us and
the talk she made to the Class-we
hope she will soon be able to pay us
a visit and bring with her the new
member l want to thank our vice
president for his assistance in the
last six months and the articles he
has been writing for the papers have
been great help to the Glass; also
our Secretary and Asst Secretary.
The class has not been called on
in the last six months for a single
Snecial collection Our pastor DR.
