Cribute to tbe Gid Baptists

plain meeting house, without stee- pie or useless trappings. If you en- ter the building on a day set apart for worship you'll hear no solos. no catatas, no chanting of psalms. no singing of the operatic type, but you'll hear in all it's sweetness that grand old hymn,
 Amazing grace, how sweet the
 sound,
 That saved a wretch like me.
 Or the melodious "Greenfieldss the lines of which run
 How tedious and tasteless the
 hours
 When Jesus no longer see.
 If you are hunting a short service, don't go in The Old Baptists are not noted for short services, but for d patient waiting before the Lord. When a child, many times l reached the Old Baptist meeting house be- fore 10 o'clock d m. and did not take my departure until the sun Was creeping behind the western hills. Of course l spent very little Of the time in the meeting house. Was on hand at the dinner hour when the snow.white table cloths were spread under the leafy trees and decorated with chicken, pies, cakes and home made pickles, but the remainder of the tine l put in swimming in old Mill Cree'- or invading d nearby ap- le orchard. l showed up, of course, at intervals so the folks wouldn't look for me, and I generally tried to be on hand at foot washing time. But Old Mill Creek meeting house was no place for worshipers who were hantino a short service. Uncle Billy Thomas was there and preached until he got ready to quit and the Spirit refused to give him utterance. Uncle Hosea Presley was there. and he preached; Marsh Whittenton preached; Eld. Casey preached and others preached It was a day of preaching, and those who went to hear the preaching, never showed by twist or sigh that they were tired.
 Not Snowy.
 The Old Baptists are plain band of worshipers. There are no frills or furbelows about them or their wor ship-they are strangers to glittering equipage and despise the tinsel of display. They believe in and prae- tice simplicity in worship. But they are Bible readers and they are ever ready to give reason for their faith and hope. The poiemic who wants a discussion Of doctrinal qaes- tions will be accommodated when he finds an Old Baptist. If you tackle him on the paramount issue of hap-

{yames H. Lowry in Honey Grove
 Signal
 Some people call them Hard =ahells, and some give them the sentler name of Primitive Bapusts, in order to distinguish them from other Baptist bodies. The members of the church, however, prefer 10 speak of themselves as Old Bap- =tists, "a name that seems especially sweet to them, and that is used much by preachers in their discourses and by laymen ill private eonxersas lion
 The annual meeting of the Red River Association of the Old Baptists met in Honey Grove Friday and Sat urday The territory of this asso- citation includes several Texas eonn- ues and a few ill Oklahoma and Ar- kansas and all of the churches were represented by messengers. 1t Mas bhe intention to hold the meetings Of
 
 the continued rains made d change of place necessary, and the services were held under the tabernacle in town The attendance was fairly goo at every service and there was no lack of interest-there never is when the Old Baptists meet for prayer, praise and the proclamation of the Word The members go for worship-and they worship; they go to hear, and they don't get fdgety if the sermon is long.
 Are Not Numerous.
 Statistics show that the Old Bap- lists are not numerous people. They have no great churches with thousands of communicants. They build no magnificent temples Of wor- ship with spires reaching far up in- to the Armament or with massive domes that sit as gilded crowns up on the sanctuary of the Lord. In their places of worship you will find no great organs with swelling notes that make the very earth trem- ble, neither will you find great choirs of trained singers and skilled performers But, while the Old Bap- tists are not numerous, they are ev- anywhere. Go to any town, village, city or country neighborhood in these United States and you will find Old Baptists. You'll see no costly chapel with name plate on the door belong ing to these people in the towns and cities. but If you'll make inquiry you will learn that there is q Mount Zion" "Rehobeth," a Bethel or an "Ebenezer" several miles out h the country, surrounded by a shady grove or nesting in quiet valley. K you go there you'll find very

If you speak against restrict ed communion, he'll show that the Savior and his chosen disciples re- tired to an upper room to eat the passover If you condemn footwash- ing, he'll have the passage ready showing that the Savior washed his disciples feet and told them that they ought to wash one another S feet Like the Bereans of old, the Old Baptists search the Scriptures, and they know all the passages that bear upon the doctrines they teach.
 Not Bieoted.
 While in a way they are exclus- i've, the Old Baptists are not a bigot- ed people They believe theirs is the true church-the church set up by the Savior of men-but they lay no claim to a superior brand of right eousness. In fact the most pious among them will tell you he is a poor sinner saved by grace. They have abundant faith in the power of God, but very little in the power of man. The Old Baptist preacher does not preach for money. He will not com mercialize the gospel, as he terms it. I have known preachers among them to ride fifty miles in order to preach and not receive the slight

 Back to Childhood.
 The writer of this poor tribute 10 a noble people recalls with much pleasure his association with the Old Baptists in the early morning of hls life. A dear old uncle was as true an Old Baptist as ever lived, and was the pillar of the church at old Mill Creek. I have seen two score at his home for dinner on Association day and he was only sorry because the number was not larger. This good old uncle died on his knees in old Mil Creek church. Service was in pro gross and the minister invoked Di- vine assistance upon the gathered congregation. During the prayer Un-. cle was heard several times to re- spond, but at the conclusion of the prayer it was noticed that Uncle did not rise. Friends rushed to his side and found him dead while on his knees in old Mill Creek church his gentle spirit had gone to his Maker My mother also belonged to the Old Baptists in early life, but she mar ried Methodist and changed her church utilization.

 Mrs NJ. E. Pierce, Holeomb St, Springdale, Ark, says: Some time aoo my kidneys were weak. My back hurt me and had steady, dull ache over my kidneys. I was very dizzy at times and my sight blurred and there seemed to be speeks floating in front of me l felt tired and run down and didn't have stregth to do anything. l used a number of remedies that I thought would strengthen my kidneys, but couldn't get any relief. When heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, used them and was greatly pleased when I found that they were helping me. kept on taking as directed and they completely cured me of kidney trouble.
