Sunday was gala day for the church
goers in our beautiful city. All three
of the churches had fine services
There was a time in this city When
the Primitive Baptists had their foot
washing. Every other church had to
close their doors, but, thank God, the
twentieth century Negro is learning
better than that. st. John A. M. e.
Church had their educational rally
which was a decided success. They
had with them the following: DR.. T..
Y. Moore, expastor. The ex-presiding
elder graced the rostrum at - M,
and to say the least he certainly did
fill the bill. At 80 P. M, DR.. D. J.
Tate, the popular and progressive pas
tor of the First Baptist Church, ap-
peared on the scene. l must say that
we had to take notice for he certainly
did reach the climax. The Doctor
brought with him his warriors and
they are with him. Just after the
sermon we retired to the river and
Rev. w. H. Boddie baptized Will
Battle and Boyd Cunningham. At 8
p. m, DR.. T. Y. Moore took as his text
Rev. l2:15, For the great day of his
wrath has come and who shall be able
to stand?' Subject, The War" 1t
