HOME COMING DAY AT PLEAS.
ANT GREEN BAPTIST SUNDAY
SCHOOL. NASHVILLE. SUNDAY,
NOVEMBER IL. 1917.

Sunday was gala day for the
Pleasant Green Baptist Sunday
school. The morning session was
suspended till $3.50 p. m. and all of
the officers teachers and pupils visit
ed other Sunday schools of the city,
observing the particulars to be learn
ed in Sunday school affairs.
One of the attractions was a little
red tag bearing the inscription: "Ill
Be One" worn by all of the visitors
and scholars. Each visitor was pre-
scented with souvenir post card
bearing upon it the picture of a
rustic youth with his bundle of
clothes upon his back, in bare feet,
tapped hat, and pants rolled up GO
ing home. The idea suggested was
that of prodigals return home.
Promptly at the appointed time,
pupils and friends of the Sunday
school began to crowd into the audi
forum of the church. Placards bear
ing the name of the class and its
teacher were stationed in various
places in the Sunday school room,
and ushers were stationed in the
aisles to direct people to the classes
in which they desired to participate.
The Metokas and Galedas and the
Adult Bible Class were very much in
evidence, while the intermediate
Primary and Cadet Glasses were Just
as enthusiastic. The main feature
of the evening was the address of Dr.
c. V. Roman to the Sunday school
He spoke along the line of patriotism
and religion, and urged the many
present to prepare themselves for eff
ficient service. DR.. Roman encour-
aged special training and told the
| people that more and more the Ne
! gro man and woman must learn to
specialize for respective service. Re-
lative to the Temperance Lesson, he
admOnished them to guard against
too frequent use of the tongue. IL
Illustrating that since the mouth is
used for three times more things
than the eye and ears, we should see
and hear three times more than we
talk about. His remarks were fol-
lowed by the Rev. Edward P. Jones,
Vicksburg, Miss, President National
Baptist Convention, Un-incorporated.
DR.. Jones has commanding appear
ance that easily attracts the atten-
ton Of his audience, and his remarks
were listened to and applauded with
appreciated interest.
After his remarks, the congrega-
ton sang my Country IT'S of Thee.
DR.. r. H. Boyd was present and
spoke concerning placing Negro-Folh
Songs, or Jubilee Melodies in the
hands of the soldier boys who are
now in the training camps. This
met with considerable favor.
The Pleasant Green Evenings Sun.
day school will long be remembered
Metokas and Galedas from the sew.
4 eral schools were present and gather.
ed much inspiration from the occa.
sion. After the remarks by the visi.
tors, Superintendent Marshall re-
ported that $50 persons had sat in
the different classes, the collections
from them were $1,000, the Banner
class being the Galedas, reporting
81 present; collection, $10.41; the
Galeda class was sent out the prev.
ious Sunday with five talents. They
doubled them with Al cents more
than required and Mr.. S. H. John
son feels himself king of class Of
ficers.
No doubt this will be a grea
stimulus to the Baptist Sunda!
schools of Nashville, and pastor
Fields and superintendent Marshal
feel that the occasion has been o
great help to the Sunday schoo
forces.
