Last Sunday the congregation was
| delighted to have the presiding elder
of the New Orleans District with them
at both services. At the evening hour
he was a wOrshiper At the morning |
hour he delighted the congregation |
with one of the strongest messages he |
| has brought to us. The congregation |
would no doubt have been larger had |
it been generally known, but his visit |
was unexpected. His subject was
Alone With Cod The text was
Genesis 1924, And Jacob was left,
and there was not a man with him
until the breaking of the day"
| There we're some interesting points
brought out by the speaker and his
message left deep impression. The
value of going alone with God. The
repOse that God gave when a man was
alone with Him and talked face to face
with Him. Then, again, some of the
difficulties that confronted us in this
busy day and under crowded condi-
tions, when we attempted to draw the
curtain and get alone with God.
| The pastor made a short statement
of the call of the Army Y. NJ c. A. for
workers. The Junior Choir sang
voluntary, Some Day: anthem,
Blessed Hills of Judah; offertory,
Look Beyond"
At night there were many strangers
at the service The Male Quartette
of Carrollton Avenue Church, COM
posed of the Messrs Ahten and
Kennedy, rendered the voluntary and
offertory MiZpah Choir had a beau
tiful anthem. The treasurer of the
church, DR.. A. c. King, gave a state
ment of funds on hand for the new
church building. This fund is very
inadequate for the church that is con-
templated. The Church Extension
Board has promised to duplicate our
fund. but We must have at least
$4,000 as our part The new Church
Commission announced that there
would be an effort made to procure
this needed $4,000 during the month
of September. September 30 is the
final day of the big drive and it is
the anniversary of the destruction
of the church On that date there will
be an elaborate program, appropriate
for the occasion 1t will mean great
step forward if we can secure these
funds. The plan is to ask for no cash,
but for War Saving Stamps and Lib
erty Loan Bonds Surely our men,
bership and the friends they have can
raise this amount. Only prayerful and
earnest cooperation in the work
can do the work successfully. Won't
you give us a hand for the new
church? The Algiers church is the
only public building in the city that
has not been perfected after being
wrecked by the 1915 storm. Surely
we can rebuild Surely we should do
it. The members of the church are
passing through testing time. Re-
) ports will be made every Sunday night.
