rays of light and warmpth, our flrst
snow fell on the 22nd, much to our
surprise. 1t was too warm for it to
stick, therefore it melted away as
fast as it fell, and by Sunday it mod
Grated and at 8 a. m. you could hear
the church bells from eight churches
of the city sending forth their sweet
chimes of music, calling the people
to the different places Of worship of
which four are colored and four
white. The M. E. Church, as she
stands on that elevated spot with
that stalwart pastor in the person of
DR.. Moore, he being one of the lead
elrs of his conference, was seen to
| be busy here and there putting things
in shape for the days services. They
report a glorious time through the
Sabbath. Each service was nicely
attended This is DR.. Moore's sec
ond year, and he is held in high
esteem by the leading members of
his church and the citizens, both
white and colored We are delighted
to have him returned to us again.
We predict for him success. This is
the strongest colOred church in the
city, with $50 or 800 members. Rev.
Washington, the hero Of the Mission
airy Baptist, put in his appearance
Saturday as he is attending Roger
Williams and pastoring in our city
also. He reports record breaking
service during the day. This is one
of the leading Baptist churches in the
Elk River Association of which the
people of this city are proud. Rev.
Washington is a twentieth century
none. Since he took hold of this
pastor, his equals are few, superiors
church it has taken on new life. To
go there to services now, one would
be reminded of the day of you're,
when DR.. Speaks wos it's pastor. This
is a great church and great people,
$50 or 200 strong. You had better
watch Washington. He is destined
to fill some of the largest churches in
our cities. We look for big results
Browns Chapel A. M. f. Church
was gladly surprised at the coming
of their pastor in the person OF Rev.
w. II. BOddie, who put in his appear
ance after q hindrance of five weeks,
being called to the bedside of his
aged father, Mr.. William Boddie of
Mt. Pleasant, Tenn, who for three
weeks fingered between life and
death until on the evening of Novem-
Der 18th, at p. m, he passed into
the beyond to meet his God. After
the death of his father he was COM
PEELED to remain over few days
longer to wind up his fathers bust
ness, but he is now on the scene and
hard at work. Friday night, Novem-
Der goth he called his people to-
gether, he found the church in a
very dull and dead condition. The
members were scattered as sheep
without shepherd. They reorgan-
lied the entire church with three
class leaders, nine stewards, nine
trustees, nine stewardess sisters and
other boards. Sunday school was
nicely attended with twenty-five per-
sons in attendance. At 1880 a. m.
Rev. Boddie announced as his text,
John 7:77, "Where is Jesus" His
subject was Looking for Jesus" To
say the least of it he preached big
sermon and at p. m. the young peo-
pie had again returned to the house
OF worship by the request of their
pastor, who arose and stated to the
Zones who had assembled, the purpose
of this meeting was to organize the
A. C. E. League. 1t was organized
with a full quorum of officers and
twenty members. This is the first
time since the organization of this
church that any pastor has taken the
time to put this work into operation
The members are elated over the fact
At p. m. the pastor arose and an
nounced for his text Ruth 1:6, EN-
treat me not to leave thee" subject

As minutes he held his audience
spell bound, it seemed that the spirit
had caught the speaker away and tt
say he preached a big sermon would
be putting it mildly. The house wa!
filled to its uttermost capacity The
members of Browns Chapel have
rented beautiful residence at 51(
S. Main street, for their pastor ant
have it beautifully furnished in mod
ern style and taste, as none but Nc
