PROGRESS AMONG BAPTIsTs.
Holy Trinity Church Tenders Or. G. D,
Patterson q Hearty Donation.

Patterson q Hearty Donation.
By N. BARNETT DoDsoN.
Brooklyn.-The induction into the
pastorate of the Holy Trinity Baptist
church Of the Rev. Charles David Pat
terson, d. D., in September, 1915,
marked the beginning Of q new chap
ter in the history Of the Baptist de-
nomination among our people In this
city, following a long established cus-
tom Of the church, and in early appre-
ciation Of the effective work Of DR..
Patterson during the first six months
Of his administration the officials and
members gave the pastor a hearty do
nation festival in February.
Every auxiliary Of the church took
an active part in making the function
a brilliant success. The literary pre-
gram was conducted by the Rev. Kim
bah L. Warren, pastor Of the Bethany
Baptist church. From the expressions
OF the representatives Of the various
features of church work it could be
seen that Dr. Patterson has gradually
grown into the affections of his parish
toner's and that his leadership is rec
ogniZed by the officials and members.
The pastor received kilograms and
letters Of cOngratulation from several
influential sources and also a telegram
from his predecessor, the Rev. 8. w.
Timms, who is now the pastor of the
Cool Spring Baptist church, at Frank
lin, Va. DR.. Patterson's record as q
preacher, pastor aud leader attracted
public attention several years ago and
especially while in charge Of the Tab
ernacle Cosmopolitan Baptist church
at Pittsburgh, which charge he resign
ed against the wishes of the members
to accept the call Of the above named
church.
When DR.. Patterson took charge of
the Holy Trinity Baptist church he
found the congregation quite we'll unit
ed, but almost discouraged for want of
ae "'H' The contributions had
fallen "a. :. h an extent as to cause
alarm among the earnest and faithful
meDhers The same situation was
seen In tb1 attendance at the weekly
and Sunday services, but this situa-
ton soon changed, and a marked in.
crease in each case was soon noticed
The membership and finances Of the
church have increased more than 80
per cent the past few months, and a
program Of real constructive religious
work has been inaugurated.
The cash donation to Dr. Patterson
on the evening the donation was held
amounted to $1O6 More has been add
ed to this amount since by members
and friends. One Of the most interest
ing features of the function was the
presentation Of a handsome cut glass
vase to Mrs. G. D. Patterson by the
Minister'S Wives association of this
city. The presentation address was
made by Mrs. ]. e. Harper. DR.. Pat
terson and family are comfortably
domiciled at 443 Franklin avenue.

THE HAMPTON INSTITUTE.
National Influence Of the School Shown
by Dr.. s. C.. Mitchell.


The address of DR.. Samuel c.
Mitchell, president Of Delaware col
lege, Newark, Del, at the recent meet
ing In the interest Of the Hampton
(va.) institute, held at Carnegie hall,
New York, was a comprehensive re-
view Of the institutions efforts and
achievements IN the educational field.
Interest IN these yearly. meetings OF
this famous southern school, held In
various sections of the north, increases.
The mere announcement of a Hamp-
ton meeting is sufficient to guarantee
good attendance of friends Of the
school from among members Of both
races.
The following extracts from DIR.
Mitchell's speech show the institution
Is regarded nationally. DR.. Mitchell
in part said:
Hampton stands not merely as a
school. but as statesmanlike program
in the making of a race. In addition
to making quiet homes. improved
farms and thrifty shops, Hampton has
planted racial self respect and hope IN
the heart Of the Negro. Negroes are
no longer scattered as sheep without a
shepherd. The race has been given CO.
herence. individuality and sense of
capacity for growth and achievement
by reason Of the confidence which
Hampton has reposed in it's character.
Hampton is not to be regarded so
much as a new method In education
as the substance of social philosophy
for all backward peoples. If racial ad
justment is today an acute problem on
all continents the significance Of Hamp-
ton is worldwide in showing how races
differing in color and character may
yet dwell together upon the same soil
in the spirit Of mutual helpfulness."
