ed to the pastorate of a church with
five members. 1t is said that he or
ganized the church
He served the Bethesda Baptist
church. Marshall. Tex, as pastor and
from there was called to Macedonia
Baptist church in Dallas, where fine
frame building was erected, and it is
now presided over by the Rev. DR.. S.
Il. J. Watson. He was then called to
the Mount Gilead Baptist church, Fort
Worth. which has large congregation
The church building was considered a
disgrace to the Baptists of the state,
and at once DR.. Williams upon taking
charge called the members together
and laid plans for a new church build
ing. This was carried out, and now
Mount Gilead Baptist church has per-
haps the most unique edifice in the
country. One year in Fort Worth he
raised $4,000, and during the seven
years he remained there he increased
the membership from 1,4o0 to 5000.
The Baptists of Texas recognized the
worth Of this young man and for eley-
en- years kept him president of the Mis-
sionary and Educational convention of
the state, and 1t is perhaps the largest
religious organization in the whole
southwest and the most influential. 1t
Is one of the conventions that is doing
something more than pass resolutions
aud make big speeches. 1t has well
organized missionary department, with
DIR. ]. Il. Knox as superintendent; an
orphans home and two colleges, the /.
and NJ. college at Fort Worth and the
Houston college at Houston. Both of
these institutions are blessed with able
men and women on their faculty and a
large number of students who are do

der the administration of DIR. Williams,
and it was with regrets that they gave
him up in 1910, when he resigned.
For his education he is indebted to
Bishop college, Marshall, Tex. which
gave him the degrees of bachelor of
divinity and bachelor of arts. Having
accomplished so much in a theological
and literary way, the honorary degree
of doctor of divinity was conferred on
him by the Arkansas Baptist college
and Selma university, Alabama. DR..
Williams is succeeding in his new field.
He has plunged into the work here
with all of his heart and mind and is
making many friends. He has not
been In the city year, yet $4,000 has
been raised since he has been here, and
in addition to this, 1. 235 members have
been taken into the church.
So popular is his work that every
Sunday morning it is necessary to hold
two services, one In the main auditori-
um and an overflow meeting In the
lecture room, something new in Chi.
cago church work. DIR. Williams Is al
active member Of the National Baptist
convention and has been careful u nv.
serving the records of that body. lie
Is a safe, conservative leader and l.
constantly in demand in all parts OF
the country for lectures and sermons.
