That the details you wen may slight,
But some body's taking your measure
Are you doing your work Just rights
You may toll In a noisy workroom,
In he midst Of a busy throng;
And your task seem all but endless,
And the hours weary aud long.
But after your days work is finished,
Can You feel that you've played the MANI
Somebody's taking your measure
Are you doing the bes, you can:
Tho you're thrown with the crowd. worl

REV. DIR. MANGUM TO WORK I'M
LARGER FIELD.

AT a meeting of the board of Off.
GERS OF the Baptist church Saturday
Rev. DR.. o. R. Mangum, pastor OF
the church, rendered his RESIGNATION
to become effective on August first
when he will go to Henderson. where
he has accepted a call which will,
place him in larger field.
DR.. Mangum's resignation was re-
ported to the congregation at the
morning service, and was reluctantly
accepted by them. DR.. Mangum has
been in charge of the Baptist congre-
cation at this place for the past four
years, during which time he has
shown himself possessed not only of
those qualities which are so desira-
BILE in a ministerial way, but of that
most essential one, executive ability
During his pastorate of four wears
the membership has been increased
by 272 additions, making it now a
total of 1872; the Indebtedness of
$4,000 on the church building has
been paid off; Baptist Young Peo-
pies Union organized and placed on
safe working basis; the Sunday
school has increased to three times
its original number, and the church
has been put upon a budget system
which has enabled it to furnish a
greater per cent. to the missions and
benevolences of the church.
